The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
Another month down! We’re just about to wrap up November, and today is Saturday so you know that means one last Products: column before we roll into December! For the 133rd round of Products:, we’re going to take a closer look at the new Signet sprocket from Madera, the Bitchin’ cranks from Subrosa, the Freedom frame from Freed Bikes, Shane Weston’s signature 2015 Isla bars from Fly Bikes, then we’ll wrap things up with the 2015 Launch complete bike from Kink! Ready? Let’s get into this one!
Yesterday, Kink released their 20 Year Anniversary Microsite which features a cool story from owner Zack Philips of how the brand started and got to where it’s today along with a look at all of their old print ads, some of their memorable products and all of their full-length videos. We figured some of you might have missed it, so we pieced all of the videos together into one post for your viewing pleasure! Check out “Wasted Days”, “Cheap Thrills”, “Safety First”, “Jetlagged” and “Squash It” all in the player above or make the jump to watch each one individually!
““Wasted days” Originally released in 2002, Wasted Days was Kink’s first full length video released on VHS and DVD. Featuring full parts from Rob Tibbs, KC Badger, Dirty Dan, Ryan Sher, Ian Munro, Jim Cielencki and Chris Arriaga.

“Kink is proud to welcome Connor Lodes to our pro team. Connor made quick work of spots all around the Barcelona area and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come in the years ahead. Welcome, Connor!!”
…. Oh… My… God. We don’t throw the word “prodigy” around all too often… But 11 year old Marcus Christopher is EXACTLY that. This kid has a HUGE bag of tricks, tons of style and rides like a full-blown man. This is a MUST SEE for sure.
“Marcus Christopher is an 11 year old BMX rider from Hartville, Ohio. He is immensely talented for a rider of any age, but the fact that he is only 11 shows how much he loves to ride his bike. He is super talented and has more fun on his bike than everyone else. Watch him ride his favorite parks in Ohio. ”
