On The Horizon: The Daily Grind

January 21, 2013

The Daily Grind BMX

I think at some point in every BMX riders life, they dream of starting their own company. 99% of the time the idea never really goes beyond that. That wasn’t the case from Jon “Gremlin” Betchtold who almost accidently started The Daily Grind. What started out as a website for him to post photos and videos eventually lead to a hub guard. Shortly after that, bar ends, a hub and a pedal. It’s awesome seeing how ideas can grown and change and when those ideas are left to a guy who actually rides, seeing quality being the main concern is even better. The Daily Grind might be a new name to what is commonly referred to as a flooded market, they’re doing things different than the cookie cutter brands that have been coming and going pretty quick lately. I decided it was time to find out what this operation was all about and to give you guys a little background on what they’re all about. Let’s take a look!

Brian Kachinsky on Primo

January 21, 2013

It looks like Primo‘s team stacking is continuing. Brian doesn’t specify if he’s on the pro team or if he’s just getting the hook up, but it looks like he’s going to be rolling on their wheels in 2013. I can only hope this means it will lead to a welcome edit.

“I’m very proud to announce that I am now a part of the Primo family. I’m excited to be a part of a brand that’s been around since before I started riding BMX. Primo was one of the first companies to ever give me parts back in 2001. I remember getting a box of stuff sent to Woodward camp back in 2001. The box was addressed to both me and Taj Mihelich. I never dreamed my name would be next to a legend’s name and immediately felt as if I was in the presence of greatness.

Fast forward to 2013. I received a call late one night from Tony Neyer and a couple other Primo guys. Amidst the chaotic phone call Tony said “you should ride Primo wheels!” I of course was flattered and honored. I few days later I spoke to Primo’s Director of Operations, John Richard and we worked out a deal. I’m really stoked to be rolling into 2013 on a fresh set of Primo wheels. Let the fun begin!” – Brian Kachinsky

Review: Animal – BPE Pedal

January 14, 2013

Animal Bikes BPE BMX pedal

A few weeks back, we dropped an Insight with Animal Bikes where we talked about the new BPE pedals that became available just last week. Shortly after the Insight dropped, they sent through a sample pair for me to give a go. I decided with these just coming out, there’s probably a good number of you wondering if they’re worth picking up or just curious why these are more expensive than other plastic pedals out. Well, let’s check out what I thought and see if I can answer the questions on your mind.
