“Still United” Premiere at Source Park

March 11, 2016

The highly anticipated United “Still United” DVD has arrived. Check out some highlights from the world premiere at Source Park that featured a session with the entire United team, along with a handful of the 4Down Distribution guys in this video from Freedom BMX!

“Last weekend, the world premiere of the spectacular still United-DVD took place in England. But before the video to the public was presented, it was the team of United Co. course not take to turn a few laps around the brand new source Park.

Particularly Corey Martinez turned it on full and took pretty much every corner of the huge main hall apart. But his teammates as Alex Valentino, Harry Mills Wakley and Christian Rigal clearly enjoyed on the countless opportunities that the source park has to offer. And so they let it be taking long extensively cycling all day.

It was supported by Ben Lewis, who still sat in the morning sting a new tattoo, which it did not prevent, well depart. But Fernando Laczko was condemned to watch, because he was plagued by severe back pain. Bummer! Luckily he had his video camera with him so that he could collect a few clips for our video. Thanks for that! What came off exactly in the historic walls of the promenade of Hastings, you are experiencing above.

The Art of the BMX Sprocket

March 4, 2016

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these “The Art Of” pieces, so we figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at one part in particular that we’ve been thinking about lately, the BMX Sprocket. The other day we were bouncing around to a few different brands websites to see if there were any new products or anything else new to see, and we ended up staring at the sprockets. When you think about it, the sprocket is one of those things that can really be altered the most as far as aesthetics go. We’ve seen A LOT of sprockets in BMX’s history, so we decided to stick to sprockets that are currently available. Even with cutting it back to that, there’s still a ton of options available. Add in the different combos between the standard bolt drive, Spline drive, and socket drive, colors, versions with guards, etc. There’s a lot to take in. We bounced around and picked out some of our favorites from a number of brands, which you can check out below with a few words about each! Ready?
