Adidas Five Ten – “Endless Possibilities” Team Mix

Leave a Comment

Here’s a new mixtape that Adidas Five Ten released that features their bike squad going to work on trails, snow, ramps, street and more. This is mostly big bike stuff, but Brad Simms has a section that starts at the 7 minute mark just after Danny Macaskill‘s section. As expected, Brad put in work out in the streets and cooked up some great clips. There’s a few you might have seen on his Instagram and a few new ones. Take a look!

“Check in with an all star line up in the latest team video from adidas Five Ten starring: Danny MacAskill, Darren Berrecloth, Vero Sandler, Martin Søderstrøm, Thomas Genon, Kenny Belaey, Brad Simms and Hans Rey.

With a little creativity there are Endless Possibilities right on your doorstep.

In the spring of 2020, countries across Europe and North America found themselves in nationwide lockdowns with restrictions imposed on national and international travel and limits on the number of people able to gather indoors and out. We all had to change the way we went about our lives.

‘Endless Possibilities’ put the creative in the hands of 8 global adidas Five Ten athletes who were sent personal handheld video cameras and still cameras to their home. The brief was simple, to document their riding first-hand, showcase what riding means to them and what they can achieve right out of their front door.

Take inspiration from the Endless Possibilities crew, share your creativity and what riding means to you with #EndlessPossibilties and #BrandOfTheBrave. From cruising the streets to your local woods, your backyard to the skatepark, with a little creativity there are endless possibilities right on your doorstep.

Leave a Comment

The Unclicked Podcast has been on fire! They just dropped another round with Brad Simms where he discusses the whole Fit Bike Co. fiasco in-depth, along with talking about his other sponsor deals, money, injuries, Instagram and more. This is a real interesting listen, especially after getting Chris Moeller’s perpective the other week. Hit play and give it a listen!

“Pick up the Unclicked / Traction Coffee collab! $5 from every bag goes toward paying travel expenses for a special guest—voted by you guys—to come do the show… Leave a comment with some suggestions.

A bit of a special episode. I received a few calls/emails from industry folk and riders after Chris Moeller’s polarizing episode, but Brad in particular had the most to say. In the end, the only real solution was to have Brad fly out and sit down to discuss his side of the story…

Brad Simms OFF Fit Bike Co.

Brad Simms off Fit Bike Co. after 9 months with the brand.

Brad Simms Off Fit Bike Co BMX

Update: Fit have deleted their post on Instagram making the announcement.

Here’s some news we didn’t expect to see this morning. Fit Bike Co. released an Instagram post this morning announcing that Brad Simms is off the team. The post which caused quite a bit of reaction was later deleted. The just of it was that it came down to a disagreement between Brad and Fit on their deal, especially after the big year Brad had in 2020 despite everything going on in the world, and ultimately they decided to part ways.

Either way, it’s definitely a bummer to see this happen, but we would imagine it won’t be long before Brad finds a new brand to ride for, and it will give Fit room to bump somebody else up to the Pro team.

What do you think about all this? Did you expect to see Brad Simms Off Fit Bike Co.? Any guesses where he might end up next? Let us know in the comments below!

Brad Simms – Welcome To Adidas

2 Comments

Here’s some news that we’re sure nobody saw coming! Brad Simms has been added to the Adidas 5.10 team (we’re not sure what 5.10 is, exactly). Adidas hasn’t really had much of a presence in BMX for years, at least not in the U.S, so this was a surprise when the link popped up for me to check out. This welcome video to bring the news is more lifestyle type shots, but as always, Brad delivers with some hammers that he makes look effortless! Take a look and get stoked. 2021 is going to be another banger year for Brad and we couldn’t be more stoked.

“We are proud to welcome Brad Simms to the adidas 5.10 team.

The 2 times Games medalist and 2020 #NoraCup “Rider of the Year’ marks a new chapter for Five Ten as it enters BMX.

We wanted to welcome Brad to the team with an edit of spots his fans would recognize and one that would serve as a wrap up to 2020, setting the stage to go bigger in 2021.

Brad joins the #BrandOfTheBrave alongside a global roster of the world’s best riders and marks a new chapter in the story of Five Ten.

“I’m looking forward to repping the brand at the highest level, creating projects with other riders on the team and doing my best to embody what it means to be a top athlete and inspire new people to get into BMX.”

#welcometotheteam #bmx
