The Daily Grind – Grant Yoobie “Reasons To Smile”

May 14, 2022

Here’s a fresh one featuring Grant Yoobie going to work on spots galore over all over the U.S the past two years for The Daily Grind. Tons of grinds, nose balance and more to enjoy in this one. Hit play and check it out!

““Bmx plays a huge role of letting me express myself and making me smile. It’s all about getting out there with your friends to ride, laugh, learn, experiment, build a community, meet new people, and try new things. The process of doing it and not looking back. The feeling of landing something new and you smile from ear to ear as your friends are right there with you. Putting a smile not only on your face, but the people around you. It’s something I’ll never take for granted and always surround myself with. I love all my people.

This is a collection of footage I’ve been working on around the last two years while going on DailyGrind trips around the country. Many different cities and different filmers collaborated together to make this one happen and I am thankful to them all. So sit back and give yourself a reason to smile.” – Grant Yoobie

Filmed by: Dylan Thayer, Dan Conway, Trent Lutzke, Josh Carrasco, Mike Vitiate, Mark Bennett, and Gremlin.

The Daily Grind – Voyages

March 17, 2022

The Daily Grind coming through with a fresh one from some time the crew spent exploring Minneapolis and St. Paul, and then Chicago this past summer. Check out 11 minutes of clips they stacked while out cruising. It looks like they had a real good time during both tricks!

“This video is a BMX collective of footage from two separate trips in the Midwest. One to the ‘Twin Cities’ of Minneapolis and St Paul, and another to the Windy City of Chicago. All comprised of as many of the Daily Grind team that could make the trips happen, as well as some other close homies that came along for the joy of a BMX trip.

Trent Lutzke, Grant Yoobie, Isaiah Johnson, and Gremlin all went out to the twin cities accompanied by Taylor Thompson. Taylor is our good friend and absolutely killed it the entire trip. It is always a pleasure having him join us. We met with Erik Elstran who was also a treat to have with us in a city he knows very well. The boys went wild and came back with some heaters of clips.

The second trip was to Chi town Chicago. We had a larger squad with us here. We had Grant Yoobie, Trent Lutzke, Isaiah Johnson, Gremlin, along with Chase Bucci, Shawn Kluesner, and Mike Vitatoe. Josh Carrasco (Sniper) came through from the area and showed us some cool spots and was part of the crew for this trip. Jordy Kilpela came south from the UP of Michigan with Trent and Grant and showed us he still loves this shit. He’s been killing it for over 10 years and has gotten to be great friends with Trent, Grant and the crew. We also had Trey Roberts come with Mike. This squad was vibing the whole time and it was an amazing time in Chicago.

Filmed Mostly by Trent Lutzke, with the help of Grant, Mike and the crew.
Video put together by Yoobie.

You’ll have to watch through the entire thing to appreciate all the mayhem of clips in these recent Voyages. Sit back and watch the boys go in.

Thank you for following what we do.” – Grant Yoobie

The Daily Grind – Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold #FUCKCANCER

January 18, 2022

The other week Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold announced that he had been diagnosed with carcinoma cancer and he would be starting chemo treatment to battle it. Between the chemo treatments, he decided to dig through the footage and get this new video filled with dialed riding from the streets out for you to enjoy. Jon goes all in on everything he does, so you know he’s going to beat the hell out of this cancer and get back to riding. If you missed it, there has been a GoFundMe setup to help Jon and his family out with expenses during his fight!

“I have been slowly stacking this footage over the last few years between DG trip videos, and other projects I’ve been a part of. Since I found out I have cancer I wanted to put it out! Shout out to all the homies who’ve held a camera and DJ Zaren for editing it all together!” – Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold

Let’s Help Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold Out!

December 29, 2021

Here’s a little news that isn’t exactly how you want to start the day. Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold, all around badass on a bike and owner of The Daily Grind, has been diagnosed with carcinoma cancer and could use your help! There has been a GoFundMe page setup to help raise $10,000 (currently over halfway there!) to help with medical costs and keeping his family rolling while he’s getting chemo treatment over the next few months. Over the years Jon has been putting in a TON of work to support BMX and he’s definitely a dude you know is going to put in the work and fight this. If you have a few bucks to spare, you can donate right here. If you don’t just make sure you share the news to help spread the word in the BMX community. Anything helps! You got this, Jon!

“Johnathan Bechtold aka Gremlin was recently diagnosed December 3rd with stage 3 carcinoma cancer.

Gremlin started his first of a three month treatment of chemo on December 23rd.

Like most obstacles in his life. He has approached with crash or roll away a winner. He is taking this diagnosis head on and going for broke.

In addition to his treatment, there will be lots of medical needs and new dietary requirements for Gremlin to help support his his body during treatment and recovery.

With that being said this young family, Emma, his wife, and two sons Vander (9 yrs old) and Zane (3 yrs old) could use a helping hand and assistance, truly anything amount of money will help. We know this fight is as physically, emotionally demanding as it is financially. We want to try and lighten the load for this family as Emma works full time, and any additional assistance will help towards medical bills and taking care of the day to day bills and this young family.” – GoFundMe

The Daily Grind In Pittsburgh

November 8, 2021

The Daily Grind squad took a trip out to Pittsburgh to spend some time riding the endless spots around the city! Here’s a fresh edit packed with dialed riding from the trip. Take a look!

“Some of the team headed out to Pittsburgh for a weekend of filming in August. We went to meet with Chase Bucci along with Jeff Purdy, Mike Vitatoe, Isaiah Johnson, and Shawn Kluesner also came out for the weekend. We pedaled around and found some awesome things to ride. Pittsburg has a lot to offer and we had fun out here!” – The Daily Grind

The Daily Grind – Isaiah Johnson Welcome Video

August 19, 2021

Over the past few years we’ve seen Isaiah Johnson crushing it out in the streets, and every video it gets better and better. The Daily Grind took notice and decided to add him to their squad! Here’s his welcome video with over 4 minutes of dialed riding from street spots to rooftops! Isaiah delivered with this one, bringing a good mix of tricks from grinds to big whips, flairs and more! Take a look!

“Since I moved to the Chicago Milwaukee area I have been meeting up with local Isaiah ICY Johnson a lot, last year we both filmed for a local DVD “Its Time” By DJ Zaren. Recently he’s got to meet up with some of the other DG riders and it was an easy decision to get him on the team. We filmed this in the last month and a half to get a welcome edit out. He killed it. Really pumped to see more Isaiah footage in the future. Filmed by DJ Zaren, Gremlin, and Christian Hinkle.” – The Daily Grind
