“THEWAYOUT” Full Video

It has been a while since we’ve seen a full-length video from the Midwest. Here’s one Dylan Thayer produced featuring a bunch of shredders, along with a tribute to the late Glenn Salyers that is just shy of an hour of amazing riding from the streets and good times that these guys got into. Get on that play button because this kicks a ton of ass.

“#THEWAYOUT is a DVD filmed by Dylan Thayer of over a slow 3-4 year span of riding/madness with my closet friends mostly throughout the Midwest area. Full/Split parts featuring Billy Holcomb, David Perez, Tyler Espinoza, James Ryan, Trevor Genovese, Mike Love, Connor Keating, Cody Franklin, Dylan& Jamie Thayer. Also adding a lengthy friends section with a special tribute to our good friend Glenn Salyers!” – Dylan Thayer

PRIMO – TURBO PEDALS PROMO

Leave a Comment

Get a look at the new Turbo Pedals from Primo!

Is it time for a fresh set of BMX Pedals? Here’s a look at the new Primo Turbo Pedals for you to check out! These pedals feature a pedal body that covers more of the spindle so the body sits almost flush with your crank arms eliminating that gap that’s usually there, which is designed to help with pedal grinds! Get a look at the pedals in the video above, then learn more below!

“When Connor Keating approached us with this idea we knew instantly that it was something that we had to try to make a reality. The Turbo pedal has a unique body shape that covers the end of the axle giving a near flush connection to the crank arm. This allows you to have much more foot placement freedom when standing on the pedal as well as more grip, an improved surface contact area for modern day crank arm grinds and an all-around more aesthetically pleasing appearance. The pedal can be tightened via an Allen bolt on the backside of the spindle and also allows for the use of a thin park tool style pedal wrench.

(Make sure to grease your spindles so they don’t get stuck in them cranks!)” – Primo

The Turbo Pedals are available now for $19.99 in Black and Tiffany Blue through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Primo worldwide now. You can check out more photos and details on the Primo website!

What do you think of the Turbo Pedals? Do you think that smaller gap between the body and the crank arm will make a difference? Who plans on trying them out? Let us know what you’re thinking in the comments below!
