Yesterday during the GT Bicycles 2017 complete bikes product launch at 5050 Skatepark, the rain started coming down heavy! There was a kicker out front of the park and Jason Phelan had mentioned he wanted to backflip it… We were thinking he meant once the rain stopped initially, but he really meant BEFORE the rain stopped. So, we quickly grabbed the camera and an umbrella, ran out onto the street and Jason sent it. Despite it pouring rain, the ramp being a little sketchy and cars not stopping for him, he managed to send two of them before the throttle grip kicked in. We’re still not quite sure how he did this, but it’s absolutely amazing.

Animal Bikes X Terrible One – Garrett Byrnes Tire Promo
Animal Bikes uploaded the Garrett Byrnes promo for the Animal X Terrible One collaboration Ursa Minor and Major Tires to their Youtube channel, so we figured it was a good enough excuse for another look at it! Hit play to watch Garrett absolutely destroy a few skateparks, pools and street spots with a few guest clips from Lil Jon. Everything about this video kicks ass, so make sure you hit play and enjoy this… A couple times!
“Animal bikes and Terrible one have teamed up to bring a new dual compound tire to the streets and skateparks. The hard compound on top provides a lower rolling resistance while the soft compound on the outside provides increased corner grip.”

Salute to the 4th BMX Contest Highlights
Here’s a highlight reel from this years Salute to the 4th BMX Contest at Silverlake Skatepark in Rochester, Minnesota. This event was apart of a bigger 4th of July celebration that had fireworks, a car and motorcycle show, live music, food trucks and a skateboard contest, but this is just highlights from the BMX portion. This video kicks things off with the beginners, followed by intermediate, expert and a few clips from the Subrosa Street Rail Jam. Unfortunately the skate contest ran way longer than expected, so the rail jam got off to a start late while they were still wrapping up the skate contest. Either way, it was a real good time and everyone from the riders to the people who just stopped by to check out the show seemed to enjoy it. Plus, this event and the skate contest helped raise funds for the Keep Pushing Forward Skatepark Foundation that is working to do a massive expansion of the park.

Beginner
1. Kaidyn Chandler
