Tyler Fernengel On Rixin Bikes and Merritt

December 1, 2025

Tyler Fernengel is now riding for Rixin Bikes and Merritt!

As some of you know, after a string of bad injuries took Tyler Fernengel off his bike, leading to a bit of a rough patch due to those injuries, which lead to eventually losing all his sponsors due to his recovery taking a few years. Over the course of the past year or so, Tyler has been putting in the work to get back on two wheels and has been documenting it on his Youtube channel. Now it looks like things are really rolling because he announced today that he has been added to the Rixin Bikes and Merritt teams in this new video where he takes a look at what he got for his new setup in the mail in this unboxing video! This is awesome news an we imagine that we’ll be seeing plenty more of Tyler crushing it into the future. Hit play and take a look! You can check out some photos of the bike all built up on Instagram as well.

Merritt Visits The Shred Zone

January 31, 2025

Some of the Merritt squad hit up the new Shredzone spot.

When it comes to getting through the cold winter months, having an indoor spot is key to make it much more bearable. To help get through, some of the Merritt squad got in a session at the Shred Zone spot in Massachusetts. Hit play to check out what went down! This place looks like a real good time if you can get a chance to ride it.

“Mike Brennan (@mikebrennan) and Jack Hennicke (@jackhennicke) skipped out on work, peer pressured Willem Jorgensen and Zack Henderson (@zacharyjohnhenderson) into doing the same and hit the road to the new powerplant shredzone up in Massachusetts to spend the Wednesday checking out the new park.

The shred zone is a private DIY indoor park that our homie Matt Horak (@matthorak) is involved with. A huge group of skaters and BMXers all pitch in to build and have a place to ride during the harsh east coast winter. They hold it down for the scene in mass and we’re stoked they let us come crash it mid week with them. @powerplantshredzone” – Merritt
