Nowear BMX – Karl Hinkley “Freestyle” 2015 Edit

When Karl Hinkley hits us with a link to a new BMX video, we’re always positive it’s going to be a good one. This time around we were extra stoked because it was a link to Karl’s latest video for Nowear! Karl is one of those riders that is super unpredictable because his bag of tricks goes so deep. If you like super technical lip tricks and good vibes, this is the video for you. Karl is the definition of BMX and this video is too! Hit play and enjoy this gold!

“My 2015 edit consists of footage from “The Nowear Compound” a place for any BMXer to enjoy in the Midwest. The past 2 years I have filmed random clips on both my brakeless and dual brake rides. I love doing goofy off the cuff stuff to change things up and put a smile on peoples faces. BMX is an amazing sport where your allowed to be different and express yourself in any fashion you choose so I figured it was appropriate to title my newest edit “Freestyle” Note: I do not have or use locking levers or a coaster brake on any of my tricks.
I would like to send a big thank you to all the volunteers, team riders & companies who constantly show support for the Nowear Compound. Thanks to all your support we are able to offer this 6 acre midwest paradise for BMX riders and fans to train, compete and simple enjoy the sport itself.
Anyone feel free to contact us and stop by sometime for a session. We are just 20 minutes off Interstate 80 in Nebraska. Right smack dabb in the center of the U.S.
Nowear is a rider owned, American made BMX company striving to grow the sport in the Midwest.
Krazy Karl
