Mutiny Bikes – Dylan Lewis Welcome to the Pro Team Video
We’re so pumped on this. Mutiny Bikes have given their Australian connect, Dylan Lewis the very well deserved bump up to the Pro team! Above is his official welcome video that’s packed full of some seriously phenomenal riding to make the announcement. We’re not quite sure how the hell Dylan goes so big, but we love it. We’re currently working with Dylan on a bike check, so keep an eye out for that soon, too.
“We are excited to announce that Australia’s very own Dylan Lewis, has got the bump to our pro team for 2016. We’re looking forward to bringing Dylan out to the states this summer to hit up a few events and visit Camp Woodward.
In the mean time sit down and watch Dylan roast every transition he can find!”

The Art of the BMX Sprocket
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these “The Art Of” pieces, so we figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at one part in particular that we’ve been thinking about lately, the BMX Sprocket. The other day we were bouncing around to a few different brands websites to see if there were any new products or anything else new to see, and we ended up staring at the sprockets. When you think about it, the sprocket is one of those things that can really be altered the most as far as aesthetics go. We’ve seen A LOT of sprockets in BMX’s history, so we decided to stick to sprockets that are currently available. Even with cutting it back to that, there’s still a ton of options available. Add in the different combos between the standard bolt drive, Spline drive, and socket drive, colors, versions with guards, etc. There’s a lot to take in. We bounced around and picked out some of our favorites from a number of brands, which you can check out below with a few words about each! Ready?
