Hey everyone and welcome back to BMX news
This is a weekly BMX news show where I talk about
Everything that happened in the previous week within the world of BMX that I think you guys might care about with that being said
let's jump right on into the news where I actually have a few highlights to talk about before we get into everything else the first
Of those is Chris molars or d8 something video from SNM. This is highlighting his 31 days of riding
I'm not sure if it was just he wanted to ride every day for a month or what but he's 48 years old and made
this video that's over 9 minutes long and
Regardless of being 48 there's some good stuff in here and just the fact that he is almost 50
Doing this stuff riding Street
Literally almost the entire video is Street riding other than a few backyard ramp clips and some trail stuff
Speaking of trails he's doing bar spins and 360s over decent sized real dirt jumps in this video
I think that's what got me the most hyped. I was like, holy crap these bars fitting that jump
Totally awesome and it's just another example of you don't get old until you quit because we have not found out yet
how old people can be and still ride BMX because the oldest guys doing it the guys who are pioneers in the sport are
Still doing it Chris Muller Rick, Moe. Letourneau. Rob Ridge is a good example
The fits bids is over 50 years old. I'm pretty sure if not, he's close and he is still
Shredding. I just think it's super awesome
I really wanted to highlight it because I know a lot of or guys watch this
I just wanted to maybe motivate some people to get back on their bikes because literally we're finding out year after
Year that it's never too late to pick your bike back up and go out there and have fun
Instead of sitting on the couch drinking beer like some of you probably are right now
After that is another cool thing from a company on a different note
This is Subrosa as limited edition wild child frames where Trey Jones himself
Actually made blood splatter colorways on frames. There's five of them available
I'm pretty sure by the time you're seeing this video. Honestly, they're gone because they went up at noon today
So if you did get one
Let me know comments down below because I think it'd be super awesome
if
somebody that watches these videos
Ended up getting one of these five frames and the thing that I think is so cool about this
Is that Trey Jones pro rider for Sabrosa?
Went out of his way and put the time in to do something for the company that he rides for
Instead of just going out and filming a bike check filming some clips filming a video. Yes
He does have the luxury of living very close to Sparky's but that was also his decision either way
he went to Sparky's made these colorway frames or everyone to enjoy and
Five people to have and it's pretty awesome because you don't see too many other pros in BMX
doing things like this or
involving themselves directly with the company in this way and just in a way that everyone can get stoked on and I'm sure that the
Response to this is going to be crazy. So maybe we'll see it again
It'd be pretty cool if we saw this from like all of the people on Sabrosa
They came to Sparky's and then did some
sort of
Colorway on a frame or on their frame and maybe made it part of a video or something and then at the end of it
They sold those frames to the public and whoever could get their hands on them could be a cool topic
Let me know what you guys think in the comments below and with all of that being said
Let's get into the sponsorship news for this week. The first thing I have here is Louis Cunningham's welcome to federal video
Louis is a UK rider who has been killing it on the new-school grind street game for quite a while now
You've probably already heard of him this welcome to federal video is no different tons of new school street riding type stuff
tons of grinds tons of nose manual balance and just overall it's a good watch for anyone who's into new-school Street riding and the song
From a UK rapper was actually not terrible. So take that for whatever it's worth to you
And after that we've got this guy whose name I'm not going to insult by butchering it
welcome to we've the people there is a bike check in the link in the description below up on the We the People site with
A video at the very bottom of it that came from Digg earlier in the year if you guys want to check it out also
Now's a good time to say that everything that I've talked about and will talk about will be
in the description below in the order that I talked about if you guys want to click the links and check out anything that you
Hear in the video that brings us into the contest in GM news from this week
The first thing here is a vans BMX Pro Cup, Germany
Stop tour course preview video from Kevin Peraza and Sergio layouts
There's two different course preview videos
the Kevin Peraza video is more of a strict course preview with some GoPro point of view shots mixed in that comes from our
BMX and then the sergio Laius video actually comes from vans and this one has him in there talking about the course and some
additions like an extension and a tombstone
Extension that they put on a quarter pipe and just giving a few of his thoughts on the course while showing him actually riding it
After that, we've got a highlights video up from the DIY BMX Worlds 2019
Stop number two, which was at the FBM open house
This one is full of creative riding because they had to be creative riding. Literally a pile of just
Stuff this video was honestly very entertaining because of how creative everyone had to be and just the riders in it were also very creative
riders, and then after that we've got a mini ramp contest highlights video from the Kessel festival in Stuttgart followed by the
Whatever that first word is Street
Jam highlights video and that brings us into the videos from this week
The first of which that I want to talk about is from Sean elf Walters, and it's his headlight
Section from when ride BMX was still ride BMX. This was one of the sections from headlights
that impressed me the most just because of the creative look that he had its spots and the way that he looked at spots that
No one else would ever
touch and figured out ways that he could ride them and just a level of riding with how long he's been in BMX is
Super impressive and I think that anyone who enjoys street riding in general could get behind this video and enjoy watching it from there
I want to talk about chase Hawks section in cults. It's later than you think DVD. This section hyped me up so much
It's got all of the stuff that we expect to see and know and love from Chase Hawk
But also so much more in here
I think my favorite part about what cults doing right now is the fact that they let people be who they are
They aren't trying to force some agenda of only this or only that or you have to be this certain way
they let people be who they are and then they promote it and put it in videos and
Accentuate it that way and that's exactly how things should be
I think unless I'm totally missing something or the wool is being pulled so far in front of everyone's eyes
I think we can all agree on that and to get away from that tangent and back to the video real quick
let's talk about the fact that one of the opening Clips in this video was a manual to
sprocket 180 on a bank to fence and there was skatepark footage and there was pool footage and it was just
Super awesome to see this well-rounded
section and overall
I think you guys can tell that I'm just super hyped about this video and I think that if you're not one of the
35,000 people who've already watched it. You probably will be too when you do watch it
and then we have a Christian Instagram compilation followed by an
amazing video from Dan Smith
This one has mostly Park riding in it
But it has a ton of stuff that you just don't see people do the first one that got me super
Excited was the channel gap air to fakie
that's something that you just don't see people do and this guy did it over a pretty
Big channel gap then after that. He did a poof - toothpick on a quarter pipe. That's not one
You see very many people do he did a foof two-foot jam on a double coping spine
And then the last clip is a super gnarly
Alley-oop ice pick on us back rail where he's traveling like eight to ten feet
to get to the rail and then a looping another four or five feet to get back into the other quarter pipe this video is
Just one if you're into park riding and tech riding at all whatsoever
you need to watch this video and I'm kind of bummed that I put it last on the list to watch and talk about the
Only product related news to talk about this week other than Trey Jones custom colorway on his signature wild child' frame that we talked about
earlier is a
really quick 25 second promo video from a claw for their decoder tire and after that we can talk about the
interviews type stuff that happened last week
the first is one that
Probably a lot of you are going to be psyched about because you're a little bit older and that is a palaver
podcast with crisp Stauffer that means Chris Doyle
Christopher talking together in a podcast. It was actually a really good listen and towards the end of it
He gets pretty open and honest about some things that I think a lot of people can probably relate to so
You guys want to check that one out?
Like I said before links in the description below and then we had another
Imprimatur BMX podcast this time with rich Hirsch talking about a ton of different BMX business
aspects and they talk a lot about
influences and influence in the early years of BMX and rich talks about Adam LZ and
Stranger and another owner two stranger who left around the same time as that
which was kind of an explanation for some of the people that left stranger and just his thoughts on having Adam LZ and
Just a lot of different stuff that you really would have never heard unless you listened to this podcast
I definitely think this is a good one for anyone who wants a little bit of insight into the business side of things and just
views in general from the points of view of two guys who were directly in the BMX
Industry on the parts and team side of things and then we had another one that a lot of you are probably gonna be psyched
on in the form of a snake bite
BMX podcast with Casey Badger and that's gonna wrap up
This week's news video if you guys had a favorite story or anything that I talked about
Let me know in the comments down below if you missed last week's video. Check it out in the playlist
It's gonna pop up somewhere right in here if you're new subscribe, and we'll see you tomorrow, hopefully for another video
Thanks for watching and good. Bye
