The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Ever wondered where the MID bottom bracket came from in BMX? Head over to The Albion to check out an interesting Q&A with FBM‘s Steve Crandall where they talk about what made them want to give this size a go versus the American, Euro and Spanish options that were all popular at the time.
Who’s excited for Simple Session this weekend?! Check out some footage of Simone Barraco that surfaced from the first day of practice over in Estonia already! Then make sure you keep up with all the coverage that Dave will be posting up on our Facebook, Twitter (@BMX_Union) and Instagram (@BMXUnion) all weekend long! We will also have the live feed embedded on the site for you to enjoy as well!
“Simone Barraco is a real trendsetter in modern bmx street. You can’t help but watch his edits again and again and again. Can’t wait to see him on Simple Session, he’s sure to blow us away once again!“
Head on over to The Albion for an exclusive first look at the brand new universal Disaster Guard from The Shadow Conspiracy! If this can’t protect your chain… I don’t know what will!
Head over to The Albion to check out Dave Paterson’s new series called “Dependables” where he will be hitting up different pros and industry members to talk about their all-time favorite products! This will bring a few of you back! haha
Head over to The Albion to check out the latest Inventory that Dave dropped featuring an interview with Eclat‘s Richard Shaw about the new 22mm aluminum Maverick cranks. Definitely some real insightful information about what makes these unique in comparison to other cranks out right now!
As if Dave wasn’t already busy enough with The Merged, he’s also now running a product based column over on The Albion‘s website called “Inventory”. It’s a little different than what you usually find on The Merged and well worth a look. Check it out right here.
Head over to Defgrip to check out a selection of photos Nuno picked out from everyone posting photos on Instagram from Interbike. Above is a photo I snagged of Dave from The Merged after his 15 hour flight from Brighton to Las Vegas, haha. Check out a bunch more right here.

Dave Paterson has formed quite the reputation the past few years with his website, The Merged. The ability to combine his knowledge of BMX product design and his advantage of the industry insider as a purchaser for Evans Cycles, there’s no denying that he has been on his game to introduce riders from around the world to the latest and greatest products in BMX. You would think that would mean he would have a completely dialed bike with all of the latest and greatest parts… Which thanks to a little help from his friends at BSD, Social Bike Co. and Fit, Dave was able to piece together a hell of a dialed new setup. We figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at his bike along with find out what else is new with him, so let’s take a closer look at this super clean unit and see what he had to say!
