The Daily Grind – Voyages

March 17, 2022

The Daily Grind coming through with a fresh one from some time the crew spent exploring Minneapolis and St. Paul, and then Chicago this past summer. Check out 11 minutes of clips they stacked while out cruising. It looks like they had a real good time during both tricks!

“This video is a BMX collective of footage from two separate trips in the Midwest. One to the ‘Twin Cities’ of Minneapolis and St Paul, and another to the Windy City of Chicago. All comprised of as many of the Daily Grind team that could make the trips happen, as well as some other close homies that came along for the joy of a BMX trip.

Trent Lutzke, Grant Yoobie, Isaiah Johnson, and Gremlin all went out to the twin cities accompanied by Taylor Thompson. Taylor is our good friend and absolutely killed it the entire trip. It is always a pleasure having him join us. We met with Erik Elstran who was also a treat to have with us in a city he knows very well. The boys went wild and came back with some heaters of clips.

The second trip was to Chi town Chicago. We had a larger squad with us here. We had Grant Yoobie, Trent Lutzke, Isaiah Johnson, Gremlin, along with Chase Bucci, Shawn Kluesner, and Mike Vitatoe. Josh Carrasco (Sniper) came through from the area and showed us some cool spots and was part of the crew for this trip. Jordy Kilpela came south from the UP of Michigan with Trent and Grant and showed us he still loves this shit. He’s been killing it for over 10 years and has gotten to be great friends with Trent, Grant and the crew. We also had Trey Roberts come with Mike. This squad was vibing the whole time and it was an amazing time in Chicago.

Filmed Mostly by Trent Lutzke, with the help of Grant, Mike and the crew.
Video put together by Yoobie.

You’ll have to watch through the entire thing to appreciate all the mayhem of clips in these recent Voyages. Sit back and watch the boys go in.

Thank you for following what we do.” – Grant Yoobie

Recently he’s got to meet up with some of the other DG riders and it was an easy decision to get him on the team. We filmed this in the last month and a half to get a welcome edit out. He killed it.
