FBM – Winter Warehouse Session

April 18, 2018

The FBM warehouse ramps have been getting proper use with all that snow on the ground in New York…

It’s been a brutal winter, especially up in the Northeast with the countless snow storms that have been pounding the area the past few months. Fortunately, FBM have a few warehouse ramps to make it a little more bearable. Here’s a video they whipped up from a session that went down with some of the team and family that keep FBM chugging along. It’s a pretty basic setup, but it looks like it leads to plenty of good times and dialed riding. If you want more, you can also check out a bunch of photos from the session RIGHT HERE.

FBM – Warehouse Vert Session

January 23, 2017

It wouldn’t be a proper BMX brand warehouse without a few ramps to ride, right? FBM have a few ramps set up in their warehouse out in New York and have ended up having some super dialed sessions on them. Here’s a video giving you a look at some of the riding that has gone down on what appears to be two narrow quarter pipes around the 7′ or 8′ height. Definitely some dialed riding and a few real rough slams. Either way, well worth checking this BMX video out!

“The FBM Crew at the FBM Warehouse and Machine shop…
Eric Holladay, James Lukas, Eric Hennessey, Garrett Guilliams, John Corts, Dylan Cole and even a cameo from Dennis McCoy!”
