Threads – Vol. 1
Threads? For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to start a feature with Bikeguide where I highlight a few of the latest threads that have opened up a bit of discussion. If you have been around BMX for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve spent a little time cruising through the board to see all the different threads on there. Between all the BMX, cars, motorcycles, girls, news related and funny threads that are constantly popping up, it’s easy to get sucked into checking out everything that’s going on over there. It’s a good place to find out about something you didn’t know about or even get a question answered you might not have been able to find elsewhere. For this first round, I’ve decided to pick two recent threads that I found pretty interesting for you guys to check out and possibly get in on if you have an account or would be up for creating your own account (Don’t worry… It’s FREE).
First up, we have the “What Happened To…” thread that Josss fired up asking where Dylan Smith and Scott Maylon have been since they decided to step out of the BMX light. Since then, it has lead to a bunch of different names like Eli Platt, Dave Young, Josh Heino, Shawn Arata and more! It’s a pretty interesting read with what kind of info people have on the guys and some of the rumors that have popped up.
The second new thread worth checking out this time around is TenPack Distro Belly Up. Yesterday, Tenpack Distribution up in Canada announced to their dealers that they will be shutting down in July and liquidating their entire inventory from the 28 brands they supply the country’s shops with. This one is a pretty interesting one since it was an unexpected announcement and I’d imagine will shake things up for the BMX industry in Canada.
These are just two of thousands of threads you could spend hours digging through. Hit up Bikeguide.org to take a look!
Subrosa – Paul Gurvitz Interview
Did you like the song in Hoang Tran’s part from the Subrosa “Get Used To It” video? Turns out there is a crazy story behind the song and how they actually got to use it in the video! Check this video interview out where they catch up with Paul Gurvitz to talk about it! This is badass!
“Check out this different style edit from Subrosa. We got a chance to sit down with Paul Gurvitz from the band Gun and Three Man Army about what went into the remaking of the song “Race With the Devil” for our full-length video Get Used To It.
This was the first artist we approached in the process of getting clearance for all the music in the video, and it turned out to be a really cool story. Instead of simply just using the existing song, he re-recorded a version just for Hoang Tran’s G.U.T.I. section!
The Gun “Race With the Devil” made it to the Top 10 U.K. charts in 1969 and has been covered by tons of bands including Girl School and Judas Priest.
Thanks to Paul Gurvitz for helping out with Get Used To It more than he knows! Check out what he’s up to at

Insight: Fit Bike Co. X Etnies – Dugan and Lewis “Battle of the Fittest”
BMX has been doing some really rad collaborations over the years. There have been a handful of brands that have teamed up to work on projects and it has lead to some aesthetically pleasing limited edition products that are easy to be stoked on. Most recently, Fit Bike Co. and Etnies have teamed up with their shared team riders, Tom Dugan and Ben Lewis, to work on a special project that included complete bikes, shoes and a few different shirts. With the recent release, we figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at just what they have cooked up for this collaboration. Ready? Let’s get into it!

The 2014 BV Jam
Here we go again! For the 4th year in a row, we’ve teamed up with Bluff Valley’s Over the Top Skatepark in Zumbro Falls, Minnesota for our annual BV Jam! Over the last 4 years we’ve seen the event grow each year and we ultimately decided to turn the event into a 2-day event this year just so we aren’t trying to find a way to cram everything into one day, feeling pressured or rushed to get through everything! So this year the event will take place SATURDAY, MARCH 8th (PEPSI PRO & EXPERT CLASSES) and SUNDAY, MARCH 9TH (BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE CLASSES)!
This year, the local Pepsi distributor is backing us and we have over $1,500 in CASH to GIVEAWAY for the PEPSI PRO with a $1,000 FIRST PLACE prize up for grabs! We also have a huge list of sponsors that is still growing for prizes and giveaways throughout both days! Anyone who has ever been to one of the BV Jams knows you never leave empty handed! This is going to be the place to be!
