Ten Trick Tuesday – Mike Potoczny at The Wheel Mill

April 15, 2015

We love us some Mike Potoczny! Check him out getting a few clips at The Wheel Mill for this weeks Ten Trick Tuesday BMX video from Epic TV!

“Recently we took Michael Potoczny, whose style was cultivated on the trails, and put him in the Wheel Mill Bike Park. Can you guess what happened next? Incredible flow. From the front box jump room to the more traditional “skatepark” style back room, Mike shreds it all with a natural, effortless style that many want, but few possess. When You Put A Bad Ass Trail Rider In An Indoor Park Great Things Happen.”

Demolition – Chris Doyle and Aaron Smith Winter Edit

April 9, 2015

Riding out the winter can be a painful one when you’re stuck in the cold and snow. Luckily for Aaron Smith and Chris Doyle they have Rye Airfield and The Wheel Mill to keep the BMX sessions going! Check out this video Demolition just dropped featuring both of these guys throwing down! Needless to say, this is one video worth checking out!

“Winters in the northeastern United States can be long and cruel… this past winter has been particularly merciless. Therefore, myself and long time friend and teammate, Aaron Smith decided to get together with Lee Hopkins to film an edit to highlight how so many BMXers stay on their bikes while living in a cold climate. The whole edit was to take place at Aaron’s home park in Rye, NH, Rye Airfield. True to form, a day into filming, a blizzard came and rocked the northeast, causing a massive shutdown of business and travel and we could not finish the edit at Rye as planned. When I was finally able to make it back home to Pittsburgh, I decided to round out the edit by filming a few clips at my local indoor facility, The Wheel Mill. Now, enjoy this short edit and let’s embrace spring and warmer temps but always remember to support your local indoor parks! A special thanks to The Wheel Mill and Rye Airfield!” – Chris Doyle

If you were curious how we get it so smooth, take a look at how The Wheel Mill employees toil daily maintaining the jumps to keep the blue groove smooth and the stoke high.
