Leave a Comment

Here’s some sponsor news for you! Colony have added the front brake legend, Tobias Wicke, to their team! Tobias has been fairly low key lately, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been throwing down some ridiculous lip tricks over in Germany. Hopefully this means we’ll be getting some fresh footage from Tobias soon! Here’s a few words from Colony about the news below…

“We’re very stoked to announce that the legendary Tobias Wicke has joined the Colony family, We have always been a huge fan of his riding and the man himself, so now to see him riding a Colony is something very special.” – Colony BMX

You can view Tobias’ profile with a short interview and some photos over on the Colony Website!

This also features front brake magic from Adam Banton, Axel Reichertz, Brett Banasiewicz, Clint Millar, Rob Nolli, Dave Freimuth, Chad DeGroot, Nick Harkins, Chris Rye, Tobias Wicke and Rick Moliterno. If that doesn’t sound amazing, then you’re blowing it! This BMX video is packed with amazing ramp riding and a little flatland from start to finish!

“I agreed to this project when it was still a baby. Now a year later it has grown into quite a monster of a video. We have had the honor of collecting original clips from many highly influential and legendary riders from the mid school. Which has made this video such a joy to create. Its like stepping into a time machine and traveling back to the glory days of bmx. Again thank you everyone who had contributed this project. it has been a blast. Enjoy!” – Matt Miller

Throwback: Tobias Wicke 2012

Leave a Comment

If you Subscribe to Freedom BMX on Youtube, you might have noticed they have been uploading a bunch of their older videos to their Youtube channel. This morning we woke up to this Tobias Wicke video from 2012 that was too good not to give a repost. We haven’t seen much from Tobias this past year or so, but it’s safe to say he’s probably still absolutely DESTROYING everything he comes across from his super technical lip tricks to bombing down big rails and more. Either way, this is a great watch, so hit play and enjoy!

Flash Back Friday – Front Brake Magic

Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve seen a couple really mind blowing videos from a few of the guys who are absolute animals when it comes to the front brake game these days. Obviously, in the past years brakes have really become obsolete for a good number of riders, which I mean is fine, but I almost feel like it’s almost becoming some sort of a lost art. There are so many tricks that just aren’t possible without brakes or even front brakes for that matter that kick so much ass. It’s always refreshing to see people doing things different and killing it like it was done back in the day.
Watching all of these new videos with all of this front brake magic got me thinking about not only how bad I want to get some on my bike, but a few of the guys I grew up watching who all ran front brakes. I decided since it’s a “Flashback Friday” that it would be a good time to pull out a few of these new videos and then dig in a little bit for some videos spanning the past decade or so front some of the legends of the front brake game so to speak. Let’s take a peek…
