Lips Lords Part 13

August 18, 2022

The Lip Lords are back!

It’s been about 8 months since the last Lip Lords video had dropped, and Brant Moore has been busy re-uploading all the past videos in high quality! Here’s part 13 that’s packed with a ton of amazing riding on some small prefab ramps. If you ever try to say you can only do so certain tricks due to your setup, this video should make it easy to see there’s no limit on what’s possible. Take a look!

“One ramp, endless possibilities.
The Lip Lords were originally a group of guys from Colorado who rode in the late 80s and early 90s.
This series is a tribute to the original lip lords.
This is Lip Lords.

Lip Lords Part 13 features Cody Barnes, Karl Hinkey, Cody Dixon, John Corts, Geoff Meade, Sam Bussell, Dylan Alexander, and Ricky Aughenbaugh

Some of the Nowear crew took a trip out to Colorado to cruise a bunch of different skateparks over Thanksgiving.

Here’s a rad video that Nowear sent over giving us a look at what some of the team got into during a quick road trip to Colorado over the Thanksgiving holiday. This gives us a look at what they got into during their time riding a handful of different skateparks. Looks like it was a great time to us.

Karl Hinkley BMX Bike Check Nowear

When you think about BMX, there are a lot of riders that like to follow the trends and do the things that are popular or the current flavor of the week. There’s a lot of those style riders, but there’s also another group of people who like to do their own thing. These riders really stand out with their unique style, tricks and overall perspective of BMX. If you’re from the Midwest, you undoubtedly know who Karl Hinkley is.

2015 Midwest Winter Games at Ramp Riders

November 4, 2015

2015-midwest-bmx-winter-games-flyer-top

The annual contest at Ramp Riders isn’t happening, well, at least not the same one! Cody Dixon hit us with a flyer and some news about what the plan is. If you’re near St. Louis, Missouri on December 12th, you gotta make it to this… There’s no doubt that it will be a super good time! More info below along with the full flyer after the jump!

“This year ramp riders in St. Louis will not be putting on their annual Buck Nutty contest. So instead The Habo and Myself will be holding a jam, a day of just riding, jamming out with mini comps, such as drag racing, high air, lip tricks, street jam, find the secret tapes (yes you read that right) and a “Brake” battle for those of us who still have stoppers on our bikes. We are keeping the entry fees as low as possible, and are looking for any companies who would like to get involved with the jam as event sponsors! Contact Cody Dixon or The Habo neither one is too hard to find on social media @thehabo or @thebarendguy.” – Cody Dixon

Cody Dixon – Let’s Do This

October 21, 2015

Cody Dixon might not be the craziest rider out there, but in a world of freecoaster minions all doing a lot of the same things, a BMX video like this is a good way to mix things up. Cody has a big old bag of creative tricks that he puts together for this one making for a good watch. Take a look!

“I have always had a slightly less ballsy, more odd, creative, and technical outlook on riding. For the last 16 years that I have been on a BMX bike I have never filmed a real video of myself so I hope everyone enjoys this! I am damn proud of this video and a lot of hard work has gone into it. Thank you to all who helped me film, my sponsors Nowear Extreme Rider Apparel, Mudslingers BMX shop, Liquid Courage Tattoo in Omaha NE, my company The Bar End Guy, and my family! If you like the video please give it a share. Please note the entire video was in fact filmed on my iPhone haha Song “Lift one up” by Authority Zero!” – Cody Dixon
