Welcome BMX Color App

July 21, 2015

We’re very excited to announce that we have partnered with the very popular BMX Color App that allows you to pick out a custom paint scheme for your bike right on the computer. We have been big fans of the website for a long time, and now you can use it directly from The Union! This application lets you pick out your choice of color on every part of your bike and we know a lot of you have been using this for a long time, but still a lot of people didn’t know it existed! So, with that being said… Get to customizing your own bike! Hit the link below!

Photogallery: Monster Street Series 2015 – Chicago

July 20, 2015

This past weekend, The Street Series invaded cities in Japan, Latvia, Scotland and the United States with crews of riders getting together and swarming the streets for massive sessions to celebrate BMX Day! Chicago was one of the 5 locations that was selected for the day, and some of the Midwest’s finest got together with Brian Kachinsky and Dan Lacey as they lead the crew from Grant Park Plaza to a handful of the city’s finest street spots. We had photographer Dennis Peralta out cruising with his camera and he came through with a dialed photogallery featuring the likes of Dylan McCauley, Dan Kruk, Trent McDaniel and many, many more!

Monster Street Series 2015 – Chicago – BMX Day

July 19, 2015

On Saturday, July 18th, BMX riders from around the world were celebrating BMX day. Monster Energy threw a massive 5 event day with Street Series jams going down cities all across the world. This year featured Street Series stops in Riga, Latvia, Glasgow, Scotland, Nagoya, Japan, Chicago, Illinois and San Francisco, California.

We’re very excited to present to you a video from the Monster Street Series stop in Chicago! Despite being incredibly hot with temps in the 90’s and thunderstorms lingering, there was a massive turn out of BMX riders from Chicago all the way to the U.K and Germany in attendance. This video features riding from Timmy Theus, Dan Kruk, Trent McDaniel, Joe Jarvis, Dylan Gold, Alex Duleba, Mike Stahl, Austin Auginbaugh, Julias Carrasquillo, Dylan McCauley, Mike Strong and Carlo Hoffmann! Big shout out to Dan Lacey for making the trip over to help everyone celebrate in Chicago!

This video is dedicated to Glenn Salyers who passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident the night before the Chicago Street Series. Had the accident not happened, there’s no doubt in our minds that Glenn would have been at this jam pulling off some of the most amazing riding throughout the day! Please donate to help his family and friends out in this difficult time…

Photogallery: Gypo Trails 20th Anniversary Jam

July 18, 2015

It’s not every day that a set of trails get the opportunity to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Between trails being plowed or crews giving up to leave them abandoned and let all the hard work go to waste, trails life spans tend to be cut a lot shorter than most would expect. However, there are a few sets of trails that have stood the test of time all over the world and one of those are the Gypo Trails in the U.K. The Gypo Trails crew recently celebrated 20 years of good times and BMX at the place with a big jam where a ton of the locals and more turned out for the session. George Gissing pulled out his camera and snapped a few photos throughout the day for us to check out. We’ve posted them up in a new photogallery for you to check out.

July 17, 2015

Wow.. If you aren’t a Matt Nordstrom yet… You will be by the time you’re done watching this video that Odyssey released today! This video is banger after banger from start (well, after we get some time with Matt’s dog in) to finish! Absolute MUST SEE BMX video!

“I’ll say it, this is the best video I’ve ever made. Matt does tech tricks nobody’s doing, he does big shit, he flows soooo good, and he’s got a smile on his face the whole time. Seriously though, what more could you ask for? Matt put in a ton of work for this one, and I couldn’t be more stoked on how it turned out. Enjoy!” – Walter Pieringer
