Today is not my day. Here we go
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
There are a few things to talk about this week that I feel like are bigger than others
So I'm gonna talk about those first and then get into everything else
First thing I want to talk about is the sneak peek of the Shadow
plasmatic peg
No idea what this is
No idea the specifics on it because shadow did nothing but release a couple
photos of this peg and from what you can gather the one photo shows
Using their multi-tool to tighten it on and then there's like an adapter in there the adapter
kind of looks like something that would thread into the
Hub like, it's a 3/8 bolt the threads in there and then the peg might thread on to that
It's what it could look like because the end of the peg in another picture that they posted one of the two
Shows some sort of like square
It looks like a 3/8 driver for like a socket wrench the thing that's on their multi-tool
We have no idea what this is yet
I'm kind of curious to see what it means because if this is a thread on to some kind of stud or
Adapter peg, it's going to probably come loose unless it slides that well
so
I don't know you guys can check the pictures out and let me know what you think in the comments down below because
At this point no one knows but people who are actually involved with shadow and they claim that the plasmatic peg is the next
generation in grinding
Technology, that's a huge claim
so we're gonna find out if it's true and if they back it up after that is another product thing that I feel like
People are probably going to talk about and that is the cult decoder Roche one-inch outer
Diameter bars in stem. So there have been a few different companies that have done this already
One of that comes to mind right now is we the people with Dan crux signature bars. There are one inch diameter at the
Clamping surface, so they're not one inch throughout the entire bars
They're seven eighths of an inch
And then at the clamping surface
They get bigger to one inch and then they work with a 1 inch stem also
kind of curious to hear what people think about this and whether or not it actually helps how many people break bars at the
Clamping surface how many people have problems with this?
Is this solving a problem that people don't actually have just so everyone can buy new bars in a stem
Kind of like the taller bars craze that one actually had some utility. I don't know. I haven't tested it
You guys might be curious. It might be excited about it
So I'm interested to hear what you guys think about this stuff in the comments down below and as you can see this is why
I'm talking about these things first because like 80% of you quit watching by the end of the video
So I figured I'd hit it early before you check out of this video. The next thing that I want to talk about is
Kareem's world what happened to ride BMX?
This has been under wraps and asked to not be talked about for the past week and a half two weeks now
But if you guys didn't know ride BMX and the publisher that owns ride BMX
Were bought by another company which decided that they didn't want to continue with ride BMX
So what this means is that people like curt Jeff Z
Ryan Fletcher those guys got laid off in the whole entire ride BMX name and everything that they do
Got put on hold and basically Jeff see Ryan and another guy would think his name is Adam
I think those guys are trying to buy out the ride BMX name
But they haven't really heard anything back and it's kind of just in limbo
So if you guys want some more details on that Jeff Z and Ryan Fletcher made posts on their Instagram
Which I will link in the description below and what we're talking about things being linked
I linked everything that I talked about in this video in the order that it's talked about in the description below
So check those things out if you guys want to it really sucks that ride
Isn't a thing right now, and there's a few things we have to talk about later
That ride would have normally covered and we would have already talked about
But it just didn't happen or it didn't get posted everywhere because ride being the biggest BMX media page
Didn't cover it now. We've got people like Kurt bringing BMX Union back
It looks like Digg is really trying to push and post more and more stuff
Vital is just doing what vital does that come up is?
Starting a whole bunch of on Instagram. So I mean yeah BMX media is great right now
Hopefully BMX a union can pick up some steam and you guys can check out BMX Union
Because you can't check out ride anymore
And obviously I always support Kurt because he posts most of my videos
And that's the last thing I wanted to talk about as far as what I thought was the most important stuff this week
But there's a lot of other things to talk about. So don't stop watching the video I check out the analytics
I see that you guys drop off and a curve like this
The first thing is some contests and jam news, which we haven't really had lately
The first thing there is the 2019 and know where BMX corn huckett. Jam flyer was released
So you guys can check out the Facebook event page if you want some more details on that
It's in the middle of America
Which is pretty central for everyone in America and it's an absolutely amazing time focused around
Positivity and just having fun riding bikes and freestyle
And then after that we had a video recap of the we've the people shop hops Los Angeles with Oriole bike shop
Basically this video starts out with Grant C and Dan Krupp talking about some we the people
battleship frame stuff and Dan talking about his
Signature stem from We the People and then it goes into a bunch of riding at a concrete
Skatepark and some Street spots and it looks like everyone had a great time. It's got Grant and Dan in there shredding as well
That's something you might be interested in, you know where to find it
So then after that we had some highlights from simple session
2019 both street and park coming Coons form and this is what I was talking about earlier
He normally would have had this kind of thing much earlier to talk about but because ride was put on halt they obviously
Weren't there to film their normal qualifying practice?
Highlights all of that craziness that they normally do. They just weren't there to do it
So there were no videos from ride and I'm sure there were other videos out there
But they just really didn't get pushed that much until this one came out
and so now we can talk about simple session 2019 that went down a couple weeks ago and it was absolutely
Insane to watch Boyd Hildur took the win as far as BMX park goes and then Felix pregnan burg one
Street Boyd Hildur absolutely deserved that when he was doing different stuff than everyone and he was doing such hard tricks
consistently and not
Messing up really at all during his run
He just looked different out there and was killing it on a whole nother level and when it comes to BMX Street in simple session
Honestly, it felt like it was just who could land the most tricks without falling same with Park
but everyone looked kinda the same there wasn't really anything out there that was
differentiating other than Felix and Matt ray
going crazy and doing a billion tricks in certain places where some people weren't doing them and
More of them because they would just they wouldn't have any dead spots in their run
Constant tricks whereas other people felt like they were just going back and forth and hitting the rails and ledges
constantly, I guess that's what BMX Street is, but I
Don't know. It. Just wasn't that entertaining to me this year
I honestly fell asleep during BMX Street
Then the last thing to talk about this week in the contest and jam section is a Sam City and fly bikes release
Jam highlights video. It's a couple minutes long
I believe Sam City is the name of the skate park and it features Courage Adams in some cock
So that is the end of contests and jams and that brings us into the videos from this week
So when it comes to the videos from this week there weren't really any that I wanted talk
Super in-depth about but there were a few that I feel like deserve to be mentioned. The first of those is called
This I have no idea what this says. I think it's Russian. I can't read Russian
So if you guys know what this says, let me know either way though
I watched the video and the description on BMX union mentioned that he rides somewhat similarly in style to Steven Hamilton
and after watching the video
I definitely see where that's coming from and even some of the camerawork kind of felt like it came straight out of a Hamilton video
So you guys might be interested in checking that one out. There's also a grant goober off daily grind
2018 video that came out this week
Another BMX food video. This one is called
Oh, you think it's a game? And this was probably the best one that they've put out yet. Charlie and Greg Henry
Absolutely killed it in this video and there's another dude. I think his name is Blair who did like a back tire?
bonk bump up to nose jam on a sub on a bank to wet or wedge to ledge and it was
super awesome
This is definitely the best one they've made recently then we had fbm uploading the last section from their lost in America
DVD in a video called fbm lost in love is featured a ton of
Shredders doing some awesome stuff at skate parks street setups literally like ten different people in this video maybe more
Absolutely killing it. Then there was a video with Andy Buckworth and Anthony Napolitan. It was a Vegas road trip, and it was for the
Wienerschnitzel company
I don't know what it is seems like another ballpark Frank type deal but in the description of the video the first word is
Wiener family regardless of any jokes that I could make about Wiener schnitzel or the Wiener
Fam, these guys put in work for this video and it shows in the last video
I want to mention this week is with Adrian Laconte
It's called la French and it's from fit and that brings us into the products for this week
And the first thing to talk about here is a video with Kevin Peraza talking about in introducing his new shoe with vans
basically, this video is over seven minutes of the most humble person in BMX talking about something that
He is extremely grateful for and proud of and that is his new shoe which you can see on the screen right now
Kevin with his shoe talking about it. It's pretty cool to see how a company has enormous
His vans is supporting something like BMX and creating a BMX specific shoe after
This many years supporting BMX has definitely been a long time coming and I'm very interested in hearing how well this shoe
Performs after that we've got a new sprocket from fiend. This is JJ Palmer's signature sprocket
It also has an option of a bolt on nylon guard this sprocket costs
$49.99 and it seems like it comes in three different colors a polished color black in a red
Anodized is what it looks like. We'll just call it red. It's six millimeters thick comes in
6000 series aluminum and as you can see on the screen, it's got a pretty awesome
triangle design on it with all those different
triangle cutouts and I think that I prefer the looks of it without the guard on it, which is
Bolted on with four bolts, by the way
Then after that, we've got a sneak peek at tall orders new complete bikes
This is contained within one of Sebastian keeps vlog style videos
And if you guys aren't interested in watching the entire video leading up to him talking about the completes you can skip to
10 minutes 30 seconds of this video
That's where he starts just talking about and introducing the completes and then throughout the rest of the video
They show them they have a little bit of like flat ground 180s on what looks like a 16 inch bike
They just go through all of the details and things about the completes
So if that's something that you're interested in, you can check that out in the description down below next
I want to talk about the volume vessel v3 frame which is now available in a disco Stu colorway
This is Brok Rayford signature frame and now you can get it in the pink and black disco stu
Colorway next up. We've got another sneak peak to talk about this time
it's from ethan Corriere and fit and it's a sneak peek of the
Sleeper frame that's going to be coming out from fit
We really don't have any details about it other than the little snippet from the description in Ethan's post
it says this is just like his old one but a little
longer
So I'm gonna leave it at that because there's no details to talk about and I'm sure that we're going to be hearing about it
again soon
That's it for product related news
But that brings us right on into a couple bike checks that we have to talk about this week
The first one comes from BMX Union and it features Bobby Altizer
talking about his bike and his prototype frame from standard which features
chainstay brakes
But on the bottom of the chain stay in the bottom of the frame
Similar to the old school GT frames that you might have seen from the past
He says in this bike check that his brakes are better than they have ever felt before there's a couple other interesting
Parts involved with his bike like some all titanium cranks that are a hundred sixty millimeters
So if you guys are interested Bobby is a super solid dude in an absolute lip Lord
shredder
And I definitely think that he deserves the shine time that he's getting
Thanks to BMX Union then after that we've got another bike check
Wish I think a few of you might care about this one is with Steve Crandall and it's from profile and that brings us
Right on into the interview section of the video this week
The first video here is a video called fit caught up with John Nelson
And then we had another Odyssey BMX 10-spot this time with Travis Hughes
And as long as there's nothing that pops up on BMX Union right now
That's gonna be the last thing that I have to talk about this week page is refreshing and nope. We're good to go
