Full Factory Oktoberfest 2019

When the Oktoberfest Jam goes off at Full Factory Distribution in California, you know it’s going to be a good time. Here’s a raw cut giving us a look at a bunch of the riding and fun that went down! Bikes, mini bikes and more. Hit play and take it all in!

“The annual Oktoberfest jam at Full Factory did not disappoint. A solid turnout with everyone shredding and having a good time and they had some fun themed competitions too—the high hop on the mid-school bike and 16″ bike were brilliant. Oh, and Denim Cox is totally nuts!

*Disclaimer* Here’s why this video took four days to come out… I woke up the day of the Oktoberfest jam greeted by the onslaught of the flu. I felt pretty shitty, but I pressed on to the event anyway, where I gave all the homies a fist bump and kept my distance. It was also close to 90 degrees without any shade for the first few hours—perfect way to bake the sickness right in. I ended up in bed from Saturday night through all day Wednesday—literally just trying to sleep and sweat it out. No work, no editing videos, literally just sleeping. But now, the video is finally done.” – Our BMX

How BMX Grips Are Made – A Tour of ODI Grips

Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered how BMX grips are made? If you have rode BMX for a while, you have likely switched out your grips and noticed the difference between different BMX grips from the colors, size, and design to the finer details like the rubber durometer (how hard or soft the grip is) and tackiness that can be controlled by different rubber compounds. Although a BMX grip is a simple part of a bike, there’s actually a lot that goes into the process and it’s actually pretty interesting seeing how BMX grips are made.

Here’s a video where ODI Grips‘ brand manager Colby Young gives an in-depth look at just how they do it at ODI from the different kinds of rubber to the molds and packaging. This video literally shows every step from start to finish. ODI make their grips right here in the United States and it’s safe to say they have the grip making process completely dialed in. Not only that, but ODI use 100% of the rubber they use between all of the different styles of grips they make to the packaging and more which is pretty interesting to see and hear about alone. If you’re a BMX product nerd, you’re going to love this one. Hit play and check out how BMX grips are made!

“On a very warm day a couple months ago, I took a very informative tour of the monolithic operation that is the ODI Grip factory. They literally churn out grips 24 hours a day, five days a week. Unreal. So please sit back and get ready to absorb some info with ODI rider Mike “Hucker” Clark and ODI Brand Manager Colby Young. And yes, you can win that grip package (I believe they have a few of them)…just enter a photo of your favorite place to ride and hashtag #odisummerspot” – Our BMX

Take A Tour Inside Of Source BMX

Leave a Comment

Over the past few years, we’ve seen countless videos from sessions inside Source BMX‘s park, but for many of us, we haven’t had the chance to see what the whole place looks like. If you have ever wondered what the inside of Source BMX looks like, here’s your chance as Marc Moore gave Our BMX a full tour of the place from the shop to the bowl and street parks, along with a look at their warehouse that is jam packed with bikes, frames and parts that they use for their online orders on the Source BMX website in the U.K and Europe. So, if you have always wanted to get over to Hastings, England to see the place, but it hasn’t happened, this is a good look at just what the place has to offer. It’s pretty amazing to see how much they have grown since their start many years ago in a tiny shop just trying to help build the local scene.

“The day before the Battle Of Hastings, I went on a bit of a tour with Marc Moore to get the rundown on the absolutely overwhelming scale that is Source BMX. The shop is huge. The park is epic. The location is unreal. And the warehouse is next level…enjoy.” – Our BMX

Brant Moore – Back From Cali

Leave a Comment

Brant Moore and a few friends recently decided to take a trip out to California to see what all the hype was about. During the week they spent around the Huntington Beach area, Brant was able to stack a ton of clips at different parks, street spots, the Full Factory warehouse ramps and more. As always, Brant delivers with a ton of creative and unique riding! Take a look!

“My best riding from one week in California featuring a few friends who helped document it. After years of wishful thinking, a random mention of visiting California and a “Why not? Send it!” mindset resulted in plane tickets purchased within the week for a visit 3 weeks later. I’m extremely psyched on what I could make happen in a weeks time but have yet to even scratch the surface of what SoCal has to offer, so I will be back!

Shout out to Owen Dugan, Cody Barnes, Scott Marceau, and my beautiful girlfriend Victoria for filming all of this and big thanks to all of you for sharing it with Our BMX world!!!” – Brant Moore
