Nathan Williams Is No Longer Riding For United

December 14, 2017

The 2018 sponsor news has been nothing short of surprising so far! United have announced that Nathan Williams is OFF the team…

Our NO FOREIGN LANDS venture to Lyon was @nathan88williams last trip riding for United. As you'll see from the edit, he still put in 110% into it, even though we knew he was leaving the brand. This is testament to who he is as rider and a person. He’s been with the United for 11 years, almost since the very first day. I can’t thank Nathan enough for what he’s done for us over the years. It’s been a pleasure and I wish him all the very best on his journey ahead. – @united_ian #unitedbmx #thanksforeverything

When it comes to sponsor changes, some are expected and some are pretty predictable… However, some are a complete surprise that we never would have imagined. It turns out Nathan Williams will be stepping down from the United team in 2018 after being apart of their team for the past 11 years! We’re not sure what sparked the decision, but it sounds like it was Nathan’s choice based off United’s Instagram post above. We will still see one last video with Nathan riding with United before he’s officially done, and we’re sure it’ll be a banger of a video, too. Does Nathan have a new deal lined up? We haven’t heard anything just yet, but it’s very likely… We can’t imagine a guy like Nathan not having a sponsor being one of the best street riders in the world! We’ll keep you posted when we learn more!

Update: You can check out the video from Nathan’s last trip here — No Foreign Lands: Part 1 – Lyon, France

Any guesses where he might end up? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

United – No Foreign Lands: Pt.1 Lyon

December 14, 2017

The United team spent some time exploring spots in Lyon, France and ended up with this amazing new video!

Here’s one that’s almost a bit bitter sweet! The United team made their way to Lyon, France to spend a few days exploring the city and stacking clips. The reason it’s a little bitter sweet is because this was the last trip Nathan Williams took as a member of the United team after 11 years of traveling the world with them. Needless to say, the team ended up with an absolute BANGER of a video that you can enjoy now! Amazing spots, excellent riding, dialed film work. You can’t pass this BMX video up!

“We’re excited to present this new video series from United, ‘No Foreign Lands’ that will run throughout the next year. The first destination was the heavily explored city of Lyon in France. Despite it’s well-ridden spots the United crew, consisting of Nathan Williams, Sebastian Anton, Corey Martinez, Harry Mills Wakley, Alex Valentino and Tom Deville put their mark on the city in a big way.

So, the beginning of this new chapter marked the end of another as United’s founder Ian Morris explain below, with some pretty big news:

“This was Nathan’s last trip riding for United as you can see from the edit, he still put in 110% into it, even though we knew he was leaving the brand. This is testament to who he is as rider and a person. He’s been with the United for 11 years almost since the very first day. I can’t thank Nathan enough for what he’s done for us over the years. It’s been a pleasure and I wish him all the very best on his journey ahead.” – Ian Morris / United Bike Co

United BMX – Introducing the Mini-RIG Bluetooth Speaker

June 7, 2017

We have come a long way since the days of the Osiris G-Bag that had two speakers and required like 8 D batteries to keep it going for about a half hour, haha. Who remembers those backpacks with the built in speakers? Good times, good times. Luckily, technology has evolved in millions of ways for the better. For example, you can know carry a Bluetooth speaker with you that is far more compact, sounds incredibly better and lasts for hours on a charge and doesn’t require constantly buying new batteries. The crew at United BMX decided it was time a BMX company made a Bluetooth Speaker for the riders that they could bring to the session. Today, they released their new Mini-RIG Bluetooth Speaker. This little guy is capable of keeping the tunes flowing for the entire session and some. It has a clean and compact shape and design, too. Get the full details below!
