Words by Henry White
If you haven’t picked up on it, I have a lot of views on the industry that many don’t like to talk about. My biggest pet peeve is the oppression we have all endured just for loving our sport. Maybe you haven’t experienced the struggle, that’s ok I won’t hold it against you, but there are many out there that will, in fact there are a lot that will. To many riders, BMX isn’t just about what you can do on a bike, it’s about the experiences you’ve had and how you translate that into your riding, aka your “style”. Which can be a beautiful thing, but that’s not what gets me riled up, it’s those who hold themselves over another because they’re not at the same riding level, it’s crap, bullying and not needed. Who cares what tricks you can do, shouldn’t we all just be enjoying ourselves and helping each other progress, after all BMX is just a leisure recreational activity right…or is it?…

Sneak Peek: Subrosa – Freecoaster Mirror
Subrosa have been putting a bunch of time into the safety aspect of BMX with their locks and lights lately, so this isn’t a complete surprise. It looks like they have developed a new product that will help all you freecoaster guys out there with your fakies. Full details below!
“Check out the new Subrosa Freecoaster Mirror! With the popularity of freecoaster’s the amount of collisions at parks is insane. Not to mention the added control being able to see what’s behind you with twisting your head around.
The mirror is constructed of a high strength, mirror plated plastic, so it won’t shatter.
Available worldwide this summer at Subrosa dealers and BMX mailorders.”
