Do I look tired because my face feels tired and I'm tired
Hey everyone and welcome to this week's BMX news
This is a weekly BMX news show where I talk about
Everything to happen in the previous week within the world of BMX that I think you guys might care about
And with that being said if you guys enjoy this video and you want more BMX news like this one and you're new here hit
The subscribe button and now let's get into the video
the first thing that I want to talk about or actually there's a couple of things that don't really fall into the
Categories that I normally talk about so I'm going to talk about those first
And the first one of those is that BMX union is back. There's a write-up on BMX Union about it
which means that I'm going to be using BMX union for all of my
pictures like you see on whichever side of me that they're on right now and
Yeah, pretty much. That's all there really is to say about that one. I'm not really sure what's going on with ride right now
I just know that they haven't posted anything in the past week or so
Not really sure, and I know that Kurt is uploading stuff back on BMX Union
which is a
lifesaver for this week's video because I thought there wasn't just I thought there wasn't going to be one or I was going to have
To like do some crazy
Research online to find all of the things that I needed to talk about luckily
BMX union is back posting stuff. So here's your news video
Thanks to BMX Union this week and after that we've got the news that
Pumped BMX Pro is out now and it's out on xbox
Steam and Nintendo switch. Don't get this confused with the Trail Boss game
Which I totally did it first. This is pumped BMX pro
So basically, it's like a better version of Pumped BMX
I guess you could say and if you watch the video linked in the description
You'll see that it's it's pumped BMX, but on your xbox or on your computer or on your Nintendo switch
It looks good. It's
T99 on steam. I haven't checked for Xbox or a Nintendo switch yet
Assuming it's the same, but it's also on sale on Steam for $11.99
Right now as well. I'm not sure if I'm gonna pick it up or not yet
I might and I might do some live streams if that's something you'd be interested in
Let me know in the comments, but that's really all there is to say about that
I guess you can watch the video and see if it's something you might be interested in in the description down below
Where there were also be links to everything else that I talked about today in the order that I talked about it
After that, we've got some support that is needed for Anthony Flores
He's been in BMX forever. I'm pretty sure although I don't know as much as I should about him
I just know that he's been in the hospital for a month or over a month with some issues with his pancreas
so he needs a little bit of support from us to help him get by the GoFundMe had an initial goal of
$5,000 which they're way over right now. So it's awesome that everyone banded together in like two days to reach over
$7,000 for him. So just keep it going if we can and help him out as much as possible and that brings us into
Sponsorship news soar to the normal stuff that I talked about in BMX news. The first thing here is the news that
August's Gutierrez and Jayden Mucha are now on Kinks am team
They were on the flow team
But they've been bumped up to the M team there wasn't really any
Videos or anything to go along with it other than the picture that you're seeing on the screen right now
Then after that we had the news that Luis Mills is now on
Monster now monster army. He's on the real monster if that's a thing
But yeah that's lasting in sponsorship news to talk about this week so we can move into the videos
So the first video I want to talk about this week should actually go in an interview section
But I just got done watching it and I know that I'm gonna put it in the title of the video
So I'm gonna talk about it right now and that is a video with Brock Horniman
It's from monster army, and it's called Brock Horniman his on the radar
basically
He sits down and he talking to the camera about himself and his plans and his
Ambitions with YouTube and all this different stuff all while there's some writing clips
Intertwined with that and I personally didn't know anything about brach before watching this video
And I didn't really know about his writing or anything like that. He's from Australia and he's another one of those absolutely insane
Australian writers doing some of the most crazy stuff ever like I don't even know I described the clip
I remember seeing that stands out to me is a flare barspin to manual
180 and I'm pretty sure he does a fakie trick out on a quarter pipe seems like another one of those dudes that can
Literally do anything he wants anywhere he wants so if you guys are interested and you guys like that Australian
Insanity type riding you can check that one out in the description and down below the next video
I want to talk about this week is from Digg BMX and it's with Clint Reynolds
And it's a video called home from home Clint lived in Austin
Texas for ten years or more and he recently moved up to New York where he built those bowls and all of that
craziness up there
So this video is from sessions where Clint was back visiting Austin?
There's a ton of trails and skate parks and some sort of driveway ramp. That looks insane in here
so if you guys are a fan of Clinton or is riding you're
Definitely going to enjoy this one. Then after that. We had a video called I'm mill walk in here
And this one's from Sunday and it's featuring
Some bee cave dudes taking a trip out to Milwaukee and riding with some of the Milwaukee locals then after that
We've got a video with John Nelson from fit its called John Nelson in California
2019 and since there weren't very many videos this week to talk about there's another one that I want to talk about and that is
Darrell tacos
20:19
Cinematography real Darrell taco is one of the nicest dudes. I've met he's a super lip Lord shredder and a
fantastic videographer
so I just wanted to include this in here and give him a little bit more than the
Twenty-one views there on this video when I clicked it up. It deserves way more than that
So if you guys want to appreciate some really great camera work and cinematography with BMX Clips mixed throughout the entire thing
I'm sure Darryl would be psyched for you guys to take a look at this video and that's it for videos this week we do
Have one bike check to talk about and that comes from some cock and fly BMX after that
We've got a bunch of product stuff to talk about this week. The first thing that I want to talk about here is the new
stranger ballast Evo frame set
So basically what this is is a frame with the exact same geometry is their ballast
Ltd frame but with a tapered head tube
So it has a normal-sized head set bearing on the top
But it has to have a 1.5 inch head set bearing on the bottom
You might recognize this design from dirt jumper frames. It's something that's been widely adopted in that world
But this is the first time that we're seeing it in regards to BMX
At least from what I'm aware of and it's supposed to increase the strength and stiffness of the front end of the bike
Because with this tapered head tube comes a tapered fork design as well
which means that where the bearing races on the fork is bigger, which is
Probably what's supposed to lead to the increase in strength and stiffness. So only time will tell on this one
I personally fall under the opinion that no matter what happens with this or how much stronger it is
Because it was stranger that did it it will be less likely to catch on than if it was some other
huge name company that are widely accepted
and respected within BMX because
BMX riders are the way that they are and no matter how great this product actually is
It's less likely to catch on because of all the controversy that surrounded stranger in the past
But don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that I don't want this to catch on
this is just my opinion of what might happen because of the way that BMX riders are and how
closed-minded they can sometimes be and don't try to deny it because we all know that we're
Close-minded sometimes so as I said the dimensions on this one are exactly the same as there Ltd frame
But I'll list through them anyways
Right. Now the head tube is seventy five point five degrees with a 70 degree C tube angle
The rear end is twelve point eight inches slammed to thirteen point one inches
The bottom bracket height is 11 and a half inches
The stand over height is nine inches with a dropout that is eight millimeters thick and it's a fourteen millimeter
Investment cast with an integrated chain tensioner then we have integrated headset types
Even though this is bigger on one side. It's still integrated
We've got mid bottom brackets and this is actually a brakeless frame
So I definitely won't be trying it anytime soon because you all know that I run breaks
So it's going to be interesting and I'd really be interested in hearing what you guys think in the comments down below
About this frame and fork combo. I didn't see anything about price on here. So I'm not sure about that after that
I want to talk about this new stem that came out from Sabrosa. It's called the upload stem
It's a top-load stem and it's made from 6000 series aluminum. It's got a forty eight millimeter
Reach a 36 millimeter rise
It's got a twenty nine point five millimeter stack height and it's a 50 millimeter
Wide stem a way is eleven point nine
Ounces and for the black or polished version of the three colors that it comes in
It's 41 ninety nine. And then the camouflage splatter version is fifty six
ninety nine
I think so cool about this stem as you can see in the picture on whatever side of me that it's on is the Subrosa
Logo that is on the side of the stem. It's super cool looking and it's something that would probably make any stem
That is cnc'd from a block of aluminum cost a lot more but because this stem is cold forge
They can keep that price down. I'm not 100% sure how this affects the strength
I think that cnc'd stems are stronger
I'm not 100% sure, so don't quote me on that. But either way this stem looks super awesome
We had a sneak peak at ten Andersen's plastic Haro SD pedals
Which will be coming out spring of this year
Then we had a promo video from cult for their new goods
Which is basically a promotional video for the new colorways that are coming out
For their products as they've been doing quite regularly lately
Then we had two new color ways in some vans shoes first
We had a Scottie Cramer colorway on the skate
Hi-pro and then we have a Kevin Peraza colorway on the old school Pro shoe
We had a second product sneak peek this week this time. It was on some new colorways of tall order frames Corey
Bowen is getting a gray three one five frame
Maddie Cramer is getting a yellow two one 5v2 frame and Kieran
Riley is getting a pink one eight seven vie to frame
The last product related thing that I have to talk about this week is a quick promo video for Primo's turbo pedal
This is Conor Keating's signature pedal and it's something that I've talked about before
but I really couldn't find any information about when it was dropping or anything really and
Now I think that these pedals are available at least you can go to the website and add some to your cart
I haven't ordered any to know but what is cool about these pedals and what I never?
Noticed until I read the description on them
Is that the pedal itself in the body of the pedal?
Actually covers most of the tightening part like be the spindle on the pedal where has the surface for a pedal wrench it?
Actually covers that so that there is surface area going almost all the way to the crank arm
which I'm sure helps for things like crank arm grinds and just other stuff where you're using your pedal and where that gap could
Affect you so I never noticed this and it's definitely awesome and it's kind of one of those no-brainer things
It's like how did someone not do this before?
Definitely cool to see this one coming out from primo
and for Conor Keating then the last thing that I have to talk about this week is the only thing to talk about in the
Interviews portion and that is another unclipped podcast from Dennis Anderson this time
It's with judge Palmer someone who I admittedly don't know as much as I should about
I probably need to listen to this podcast, which I haven't had time to do yet
I definitely plan on catching up with all of these unclick podcasts
Especially the Garrett Reynolds one that we talked about last week
It seems like they're doing well and it seems like people are hyped on them
So I'm definitely psyched to check them out and I think that's the last thing I have to talk about this week as usual
Lately, I'm gonna refresh the page where I see these things
No, I lied. I definitely
Lied. Okay, so there is a new fbm
Paradigm frame that just came out which I am clicking on and I'm gonna read about right now
So it's a new frame with a seventy five point five degree head tube angle a 70
71
degree seat tube angle
it's got an 11-point seven inch bottom bracket height with a nine-inch stand over a
Twelve point six to five inch chain stay whenever it's slammed and it has a five inch
Head tube, which also seems to be somewhat of a trend in BMX lately
It's got a wishbone chainstay design which can accept tires up to
2.5. That's insane and that is a monster truck at this point
it comes in twenty point five twenty point seven five twenty one and
Twenty one point two five and it comes in two different colors blue vein
Three three colors. It comes in blue vein
Translucent black and copper and this is a completely brakeless frame
So it looks like fbm has joined the short rear end
responsive geometry
Trends that have been going as of late and it's kind of cool to see so I'm sure there's going to be some people psyched
To get their hands on this frame
Let's see. There was actually something else that I wanted to talk about in here
There was another video in the please be kind and rewind series
This one is with Corey Martinez and Seth Kimbrough, which I know a few of you are going to be psyched about
I don't know anything because I haven't clicked on it yet, but there's another product related thing as well
This is cults spring 29 tene soft goods, believe it or not
Spring is actually coming which I am extremely excited for
so now that that
Unfinished BMX news video on my part is done. That's gonna wrap up this week's BMX news
