Monday Night Football BMX Half Time Show

Leave a Comment

Last Monday, during the Monday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Giants, there was a BMX demo that went down during half-time to keep the crowd excited and to help hype up the X Games that will be going down at the new Minnesota Vikings stadium in Minneapolis. Here’s two videos giving us a look at what the crew who were invited to do the show got into during the day (Chad’s video below) and some footage from the show up top (Dustin’s video). Can’t imagine what it was like riding in front of so many people!

“67,000 fans fill the brand new US Bank Stadium during Monday Night Football for the Vikings’ second ever home game, completely sold out, and little do they know they would see a live preview for X-Games right during half time… Join ASA Entertainment with local pro Dustin Grice on the mic as he welcomes X-Games Gold Medalists Daniel Dhers, Ryan Decenzo, home town hero Levi Lavallee, and all the riders from The Factory Minneapolis’ 24-Hour BMX Facility including Nitro World Games Champion Colton Walker, Evan Moyle, AJ “Ironman” Haines, Tristan “TwisterX15” Sagastume, Dallas Light, as well as Division BMX’s riders & ramp crew Casey Ervin, Jared Wiedower, and Micah Kranz. This now sets the first ever action sports & BMX riding to ever go down in the new stadium… What will we see next?”

“Last minute call to fly up to the new Minnesota Vikings stadium to do demos and halftime show. Said YES before I planned anything out. Trouble could be I had to be back to work at my shop Mr. B’s by noon the next day. 3am up and direct flight made this happen. Bill Nitschke, Dane Beardsley, and my self did demos outside with the cheerleaders and drum line. My camera was not recording for the 1st and last show…so this is what I got…also sprinkle in some of my chadisradasadad snapchat and here is my 24 hours Monday night football. Thanks to ASA, Xgames, Rick, Bill, Dave Freimuth, and the whole crew for one wild time. Still wish it was the Packers but this being my first monday night footballI will take it. Met Steve Young, Gruden walked past us, Eli and the Giants…and more. Where my bike brings me. Thanks Micah Kranz.” – Chad DeGroot

Introducing The Factory V.3

Living in Minnesota has always had one major downside when it comes to BMX… Winter. Over the years we have had a lot of skateparks come and go and a lot of the time it’s because they just aren’t built right or the people running it don’t know what the hell they are doing. Luckily, over the years we’ve had a few different places to ride that are doing things right. One of those places is The Factory in Minneapolis that’s ran by Dustin Grice and a handful of other guys who have been pushing the scene around here in the right direction for years.
In the past three years, these guys have gone from just a few little ramps to help pass the winters in a little corner of a warehouse they rented to their 3rd version that’s a full on BMX training facility that’s open 24 hours a day to members looking to ride some big ramps or learn some new tricks.
Dustin hooked us up with the premiere of their new video they just dropped giving you a look at the new ramp setup and some of the bangers that have gone down since they wrapped up building. After you check out the video, hit up RideTCFF.org to find out more! This is how things are supposed to be done.

Summer with The Factory

Leave a Comment

Check out what Dustin Grice, AJ Haines, Kenny Short, Glenn Dussl, Jeff McLearen and a few more from the TCFF crew have been getting into this summer. These guys are all great dudes on and off their bikes so I always get stoked to see some fresh footage from them!

“Dustin Grice and friends all chip in cash to have their own indoor warehouse in Minneapolis called The Factory to help their scene get thru the brutal winters, during the summer they also throw down a few shows on a large trailer ramp they built to help pay rent. Here’s what they’ve been up to this summer… Edit by Jeff Langlois”

Twin Cities Fantasy Factory

3 Comments

Living in Minnesota during the winter is painful. Sessions get cut down to two or three times a week, if you are lucky. That is unless you are willing to throw down for your own private warehouse like Dustin Griess, Evan Moyle, AJ Haines and some of the crew from Twin Cities did. The TC Fantasy Factory was wrapped up a few weeks back, and it looks like training season has begun.
