The second episode of the Fingers Crossed series has arrived and this time around we get a good look at just what these BMX / MTB hybrid bikes are capable of as Ruben Alcantara and Garrett Byrnes put their bikes to good use on trails, wallrides and other setups, along with their first break down that they aren’t quite sure how to fix.

Fingers Crossed – Episode One

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!

EPISODE ONE : LA IDEA

“13 years ago I had the opportunity to ride the bike park of Whistler with a mountain bike, I had so much fun but I was thinking all the time : I wish I could ride this on my bmx…after that I started to work on it but I couldn’t finished right and left it in a side…until now.. ” – Ruben Alcantara

Fingers Crossed BMX – Teaser

3 Comments

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…

Here’s one we’re sure a ton of people are going to be stoked on! Bob Scerbo has decided it’s time to release the full “Skapegoat #11” video online now that the DVD’s have sold out and they have no plans on making more! This is 14 minutes of pure goodness from Austin, Texas with some of the final sessions on the T1 ramp before it was torn down with no shortage of familiar faces from Joe Rich and Garrett Byrnes to Sergio Layos, Brian Hunt, Tom Dugan, Joseph Frans, Clint Reynolds, Matty Aquizap, Will Blount, Adam Baker and many more. It’s a bummer that the ramp is gone, but this is an awesome way to remember it. Hit play and take it all in!

Shout out to Empire for uploading the video!

The legend Garrett Byrnes sits down with Joe Doherty for The BMX In Our Blood Podcast…

‘

We’re always stoked to check out The BMX In Our Blood podcast, especially this time around! For the latest interview, Joe Doherty sits down with the one and only Garrett Byrnes to talk about a TON of different topics that actually will take two parts to share it all. This is part one, and well worth your time! Hit play and enjoy!

“Garrett Byrnes. I went into this interview like most interviews, interested in the life of a BMXer but not knowing much beyond the person in the photos, documentaries, video parts, etc. This is the reason why I do it. The payoff was huge with Garrett. This is the 1st time I have split a podcast into two parts because there is so much about Garrett that I would love for you all to hear and not feel rushed. So enjoy and remember what is most important in life, you.
Special thanks to Matty of www.crustbikes.com for the interview location and thank you Garrett for trusting me with your story.
As always, support those that support Garrett and the sport
