How To Fast Plant 360 with Connor Lodes

October 6, 2015

According to Street League rules a foot down counts as a zero in skateboarding, but luckily BMX doesn’t follow rules, haha. Check out this how to on fast plant 360’s with the one and only Connor Lodes who gives you plenty of advice and examples. Take a look!

“Is it a fastplant or a footplant? Personally, I don’t really care. But, if you want to nitpick it, a fastplant is when you use your foot to hop and a footplant is when you jump onto or pivot on your foot. Really though, the words are interchangeable. I don’t care what you call it; we just want you to go out and give it a few tries. You just may like it. And, all praise to Connor Lodes for sitting down and sharing some words while he was up at Woodward West. – Ride BMX

Demolition Parts – Colorado Camping Trip

August 27, 2015

A few weeks back the Demolition Parts crew headed to Colorado for some camping and to check out some of their finest cement parks! Above is the video they came home with and you better believe with a crew like this, crazy riding went down! We were slightly bummed there was no Brian Castillo footage though…

“The Demolition summer camping trip to Colorado was epic before it even started. With our riders, Tyler Fernengel, Chris Doyle, Kris Fox, Rob Wise, Matt Cordova, Connor Lodes, and Dennis Enarson we already knew the crew was tight and everyone was already ready to get to Colorado to ride some epic parks. More importantly than the riding, the crew felt more like a family than a team on this trip, and like most “camping trips” the experience there was unforgettable. Oh, and the riding was f-n nuts…

Special Thanks: This video and our trip couldn’t have been as fun or made possible without these people behind the scenes: The Cordova family, Kenny Enarson, and Clay Brown.

Watch: Mongoose Jam 2015 – Park Finals

Watch: Mongoose Jam 2015 – Dirt Finals

“Broc Raiford, Matt Ray, Devon Smillie, Kevin Peraza, Connor Lodes, Tyler Fernengel and many more go off in the Mongoose Jam Street finals.

The annual Mongoose Jam is one of those events that always gets everyone psyched to come out. It’s not often that team riders are given the chance to pick a squad of their homies to compete in a legitimate contest with dirt, park, and street events, plus a sizable winnings purse… And to top it all off they host it at Woodward, a place people are stoked to visit on its own. The versatility of riders at the Mongoose Jam is insane, from sly street cats like Devon Smillie to contest scene park pros like Logan Martin, the Mongoose Jam brings everyone together for one kick-ass week of good times and a shared passion for BMX.” – Ride BMX

This weeks Kink One Hit Wednesday BMX video features Connor Lodes charging a big over double peg down a rail like it’s nothin’! While we’re at it… Let’s re-watch Connor’s welcome to Kink video that this clip is from!

“Connor has become known over the past few years to send overgrinds down rails that are scary enough to straight grind. We came upon this setup on the outskirts of Barcelona a few months back and for some reason Connor didn’t seem to sweat it too much. We however, were shocked.
