Wethepeople dropped this new BMX video from some time spent that Ed Zunda, Pete Sawyer and Max Gaertig cruising the new plaza in Riga, Latvia this past summer during The Street Series. Despite what appears to be some drainage issues at the plaza, it looks like it’s super fun to ride and these guys all had no trouble cooking up some clips! Take a look!

Have you ever had a random question pop up in your head right when you’re trying to go to bed, and you end up thinking about it so much that you end up pulling out your phone and doing some research online? Last night, not sure why, but the question “I wonder what the most expensive complete BMX bike is for 2016?” came to mind and it stuck to me. We had a pretty decent idea of a few of the higher end bikes, but were still curious to know. So, after a couple searches on a few different retailers and it was pretty easy to figure out just what bike holds the highest price tag for this year.
Traditionally, complete BMX bikes are thought of as inexpensive bikes that are designed for the entry to mid-level rider that isn’t quite ready to go all in on a custom after market build that pretty much every experienced rider owns. Over the course of the past few years, with the progression of the quality of complete bikes, we’ve seen some really dialed higher end bikes pop up on pretty much every company’s list of options for bikes they offer.
Although BMX bikes don’t cost anywhere near what some high end road and mountain bikes cost (You could buy about 13 of the most expensive BMX bikes for the price of one of the high end road bikes that are available — and that’s not even top of the line), it’s still a pretty interesting number.
What did we find out? Well, although it was some what close with a few other bikes (Not including race bikes, which have a few options more expensive than the freestyle bikes), the 2016 Wethepeople Envy beats out the Dennis Enarson signature Haro SD V2, Chad Kerley signature Premium CK and Sunday Bikes Gary Young signature Soundwave complete by about $100. The Envy comes in at $1,099.99 and it comes fully loaded. The next question that came to mind, if we parted out the most expensive bike since it’s mostly after market parts from Wethepeople and Eclat, what would the total cost be? Let’s find out…
We also decided to find out what the most expensive custom built bike would be. Check that out here: The Most Expensive Custom BMX Bike?
Curious what Jordan Godwin is running for a setup these days? Well, you’re in luck because Wethepeople just released a fresh Bike Check with Jordan giving us a closer look at his 2016 Patron setup that’s loaded with a handful of new products from Wethepeople and Eclat like the Dill Pickle pegs, Helix V2 freecoaster and the new dark gum Stickin’ tires.

Wethepeople have just released their full-length “LIT” BMX video online for your viewing pleasure. This 24-minute long video is a mix of footage from their team riders from pro to flow getting down on some of their local spots. You can find riding from Dan Foley, Jordan Godwin, Ed Zunda, Mike Curley, Dan Kruk, Dima Prykhodko, Jared Chilko, Jordan Waters, Max Gaertig, Moritz Nussbaumer and more! This is one BMX video that’s filled with heat from start to finish! Kick back and enjoy!
“The months that follow summer in Europe are always a struggle to get clips, you always feel like you are fighting off the winter and everyday of sunshine could be your last. We set about filming for LIT early October and the mission was kind of simple: Every rider had 2 months to film what they could and then send the final clips to me to edit towards the end of November. Injuries hit a few of the guys, the weather crept up sooner on some but everyone came through with some great footage. When I sat down and threw the clips together I realised this was going to be a 20 + minute thing and immediately started to stress about where to even start with the editing. Mix tapes are just what they say on the label, a mix of clips from all over thrown into the pot. If there’s one thing I’m hyped on it’s the fact that we as a brand have an awesome squad both in Europe and across the globe and this video represented the crew just perfect in my opinion. It also made the slow winding down process that winter brings a little bit more creative. Thanks to every rider who contributed clips and every filmer who stuck it out in the cold to contribute.” – Wethepeople
Wethepeople released a trailer for a new BMX video they will be releasing online December 7th called “LIT” featuring their entire crew. We’re not sure exactly the format for this one, but we have a feeling it’ll be a mix of wild footage from all the guys with the help of a bunch of different filmers from around the world. Either way, it’s bound to be a wild one, so get stoked!
Wethepeople coming through with a fresh Bike Check with pro team rider, Moritz Nussbaumer and his current Patron setup that’s decked out with some of Wethepeople’s new 2016 parts and additional parts from Odyssey. That’s one cleaned looking BMX bike if we may say! You can get a full parts list and check out a couple detailed photos of the bike right here — Moritz Nussbaumer Bike Check
Wethepeople have a new connect in Paris, France that we’re not all too familiar with named Robin Bourhis. This young gun came through with his welcome to the team BMX video firing on all cylinders. Robin rides fast, grinds fast, spins the bars fast and isn’t scared to go fast for a crazy gap. Hit play and check out all the goodness this guy produced for you. We hope to see more of him in the future.

Wethepeople sent through this promo video featuring Felix Prangenberg cruising around on their 2016 Curse complete bike that is available worldwide through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Wethepeople now. You can check out more photos of the bike below…
“The 20-inch Curse enters 2016 with all new geometry and some incredible colour options. Decked out with some amazing parts including Éclat (Surge) plastic pedals and Vex compound Wethepeople grips. The big change for the Curse this year is the addition of a fully sealed Salt cassette hub, making it undoubtedly one of the best quality entry-level bikes around. Our first 20-inch machine packs a real punch.”
