Fingers Crossed – Full Suspension BMX at the Bike Park!

1 Comment

Every time we see one of these bikes pop up, we are more and more stoked on the idea and curious just what it’s like riding one. Traxxmedia, who have been producing all of the Fingers Crossed videos, just uploaded a video they had submitted giving us a look at what it’s like from a POV perspective riding one of these bikes on a downhill MTB park over in the Czech Republic.

One other interesting thing is there’s a prototype of a bike being made right now that could possibly go into production in the near future. Check out the Instagram post from Ruben Alcantara below!

“Straight from Czeck Republic @votja_panek bring us this video riding his DIY full suspension BMX made by @tbbbike at @bikeparkkoprivna.

This video shows the endless possibilities of an fingerscrossedbmx style bike and how it can be ridden at any bikepark.

It’s amazing to see fast evolution of the @fingerscrossedbmx family around the globe with more and more bikes poppoing up every day.

We’ve been getting more and more looks at the Fingers Crossed bike that Ruben Alcantara dreamt up and figured out how to get built in past videos, and many of you were curious how he built the bike. Ruben decided to put together a little video bike check giving you a closer look at his setup that was built up from a bunch of different parts, along with some modifications to make it work! Based on the end of the video, it sounds like Ruben is working on getting these put into production so you coul buy it as a complete or get a kit to build your own, which is rad. We don’t know when that will be, but it sounds like it’s going to happen. Hit play and take a look at this full suspension BMX bike that looks like a ton of fun to ride!

1 Comment

Here’s one we’re sure a bunch of you have been waiting for! The first episode discussing just what Fingers Crossed is all about! This video gets insights from Ruben Alcantara, Garrett Byrnes, Mike Bennett and Ari Cruz about these crazy BMX bikes modified to use suspension and bigger tires so you can ride on MTB trails, or regular BMX trails / spots with a little extra comfort. Not only that, but there’s a ton of great footage from sessions and a good look at the bikes! It’s a little bit crazy, but it’s an interesting idea and they seem to be really stoked on it.

What do you think about this idea? Do you want to see it go into production? Let us know what you think in the comments down below!

Fingers Crossed BMX Bike Video

The other day a video surfaced online giving us the first look at Fingers Crossed, a new suspension BMX bike project that Ruben Alcantara, Garrett Byrnes and a few others have been working on. The video got a lot of attention, and there were A LOT of questions that came up from how are these bikes being made, will they go into production, what is the point of the bikes and more. The crew at Ride UK caught up with Ruben for an interview where he discusses all of those things in better detail, answering pretty much all questions we’ve seen pop up. You can check the interview out right here. You can also check out the promo video again below!

Fingers Crossed BMX – Teaser

When Ruben Alcantara and Garrett Byrnes team up for a project, you know it’s going to be good. Ruben and Garrett teamed up with Mike Bennett and Ari Cruz to design some bikes that look like a BMX bike and a downhill mountain bike had a crazy night of drinking and 9 months later these bikes were born. These BMX bikes have full suspension and appear to be built to handle downhill mountain bike trails, regular BMX trails and more. We’re not sure if this means they will be getting these bikes produced or if it’s just a fun project, but we’ll definitely keep you posted! Hit play and take a look…
