The Daily Grind In North Carolina

February 19, 2016

The Daily Grind crew are no strangers to road trips in search of street spots. Over the past few years they have hit up spots all over the East and West Coasts and plenty in between. They recently decided to load up and head East to North Carolina to see just what the state had to offer for street spots. Although North Carolina is primarily known for Greenville in the BMX world, it’s safe to say this place has some amazing street spots, too. Check out 9 minutes of heavy footage from Zack Gerber, Dan Conway, Troy Merkle, Tony Cherry, Scott Steele, Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold, Mike Vitatoe and Grant Ueberroth who put in some serious work during their visit.

The Daily Grind – DC Plaza Session

February 3, 2016

The Daily Grind hit us with a link to their latest BMX video from some time that the crew and a few friends spent at the DC Plaza. Check out footage from Tony Cherry, Scott Steele, Luke Cameron, Franklin Markley, Marty Moore, Branden Watson, Vince Smith, Dan Conway, Troy Merkle, Gremlin and Mike Vitatoe. Plenty of grinds and lines. It’s kind of crazy we never really see footage from this place, even though it’s pretty massive.

Working Class BMX – Troy Merkle

January 5, 2016

This is pretty rad. Zack Gerber dropped this new BMX video featuring Troy Merkle giving us a little insight into what he does when he’s not riding, along with a bunch of rad riding clips! Hit play and check it out!

“What’s there to say about Troy Merkle? Troy has been a name in the midwest BMX scene for as long as I can remember. Troy has a style all of his own with technical street riding with a touch of flatland style. Troy isn’t afraid of a gnarly setup up either. Here we examine Troy’s introduction to BMX, and his day job. All parts of a modern day, professional level, BMX enthusiast. Troy’s pure love for BMX is captures, and his mellow, positive attitude speaks for itself. The entire interview process was done without Troy’s knowledge. What you have here are his truest, most honest words about life and the love of BMX. Troys rules. Enjoy.
Working Class BMX’s first candid, mini interview. More to come.” – Zack Gerber

The Daily Grind – Cincinnati Street Jam

October 21, 2015

When The Daily Grind throw a street jam, you know there’s going to be some wild riding, Zack Gerber yelling hilarious stuff on the megaphone, probably a few cops and more wild riding.

The crew recently rolled through Cincinnati, Ohio and threw a big street jam with Troy Merkle, Zack Gerber, Vince Smith, Jason Govan, Scott Steele, Jamie Thayer, Linwood “Bosshog” Monk, Dan Conway, Mike Vitatoe, just to name a few, along with a TON of the locals that made it out all cruising the streets.

Check out highlights from the different spots they cruised, product toss, foot down, broken ankles, Linwood taking a break next to a building and morein the BMX video above!

The Daily Grind – Troy Merkle “Hard Times”

July 24, 2015

The Daily Grind have released Troy Merkle‘s section from “Hard Times” online for your viewing pleasure! Troy’s section is a little more “tame” on the partying side of things compared to the other sections and more about the riding. One thing that came to mind re-watching this part is just how under rated of a rider Troy really is. Troy has been crushing it on a freecoaster long before it was ever a trend and the grind combos and really everything he does is so good. Who else are you seeing doing long rocket ice grinds down long curved ledges? This section is packed full of amazing riding and if you’re a fan of rocket manuals, grinds, barspins or whips… You will love this section because he definitely does all of those. Ratboy would be/is pumped!

Review: The Daily Grind – “Hard Times” DVD

June 9, 2015

There haven’t been a ton of BMX DVD’s coming out these days, but there’s still a place for them because of the way footage comes and goes so fast on the internet these days. Over the past year or two, The Daily Grind crew have been busy stacking clips for their second full-length video “Hard Times” that was just released last week. We got our hands on a copy and figured it would be a good DVD to give you some insight on since it’s definitely a standout video from a lot of full-length videos we see these days, mostly due to the shock value in it. So, let’s get into this!
