Hey everyone, welcome back to 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 might care about cutting out all of the other
BS that you might not care about and with that being said, let's jump right on into the news
The first thing here doesn't fit into any of the categories
I normally talk about
so I want to talk about it first, and it's
kind of a big thing to talk about and that is that source BMX is coming to the u.s. In
2019 with a
32,000 square foot warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky
And I am very curious to hear what you guys think about this one
I'm gonna give you my personal opinion on it right now
What I think is that it really could be a good thing for BMX in general because if you look at their track record
I mean they host what a lot of people say is the best event in BMX with the Battle of Hastings
They sponsor what a lot of other people say is the best event in BMX in swamp fest
they sponsored the uncovered series that van Holman and Brian Kachinsky put on so
I mean realistically this is not just another big company
coming in and trying to leach money off of BMX like a lot of people might make it seem
When you really look at it
They've done a lot for BMX and the fact that they're gonna have a warehouse in the US could just lead to more
Growth for them and more growth for them will probably mean more cool things that they're gonna help in BMX
You'll see a lot of people comparing Dan's comp and source BMX
but the big difference there is just all of the things that I've listed and it kind of seems like source BMX is
and could be what a lot of people wish Dan's comp would have been and I think that with all of the stuff that they
Do for BMX and all of the potential that they could bring?
It's just gonna be a good thing or at least it could be a good thing
I'm curious to hear what you guys think
So let me know in the comments down below next we can move into the videos from this week
It was kind of a slow week as far as BMX news goes, but we did have several
Amazing videos come out this week
and the first one that I want to talk about is Mike Vargas all or nothing video from monster as crazy as
Everything in this video was I think my favorite part of the entire video is how they left in his excitement
You could hear him getting pumped about a few clips towards the beginning of the video and I think that stuff like that in
videos like this one is really important because it kind of
Humanizes the person in the video rather than making them look like they're just some trick machine pumping out insane trick after
Insane trick and I think that's really important because with that
Disconnect we really don't get to know people and seeing someone get excited
just kind of shows that they're not just doing it for the video or
Sponsors or anything like that with that being said if you've ever seen a Mike Vargo video, you know
how
crazy
Everything in this video is so I don't have to tell you that but I will tell you that my favorite clip in the video
is probably something that no one's ever done before in a double tail whip to icepick stall tavar spin in on a
quarter to sub box
don't picture it just watch the video and
Unfortunately the video ends with Mike crashing on some sort of tornado air outspend. Probably a 1260 attempt
I'm assuming he actually broke his collarbone on the last clip in the video
So it's kind of an unfortunate end to this one, but it ended by saying to be continued. So we're gonna see him again
He's gonna be back and he's probably gonna land that 1260. He might even throw in a barspin. Who are we kidding?
It's Mike Varga after that. We've got BMX not as you know it from tim knoll and
Redbull we ever really seen much from tim in the past couple years
But this video shows that he is still out there killing it with his BMX
Acrobatic insanity that I know all of you have seen it as a BMX rider everyone, you know
That doesn't ride BMX tags you in tim knoll videos on facebook when they go viral
this video is a little bit different than his previous ones because he's just taking everything to that next level and it feels like somewhat
Of a combination of all of the things he's done before like put together or taken just another step further
so if you're just new to BMX or somehow, you haven't seen a tim knoll video yet you
Definitely have to hit play on this one and check it out
And after that, we've got the next huge creative insane video that I want to talk about this week, and it's from Chris Kyle
It's called ten years and Counting and it's from BSD and it's in
Celebration of the fact that Chris has been riding for BSD for ten years now
between Mike Varga tim knoll in this video from Chris Kyle
I honestly don't know what the best video of the week is because they're all insane in their own ways
Mike has his crazy
Technical insane of the park riding then tim knoll doing tim knoll crazy stuff
Then we've got chris kyle in this video doing insane
creative stuff that
Honestly only chris could do in the streets and in the skate parks
My favorite clip in this video is where he's approaching this like I don't even know how to describe it
And he just drops to his side slides through the hole and spins a 180 into the next level down or whatever it is
Honestly i'm doing a terrible job
Terrible job describing it
So just hit the link in the description and check the video out the link to that is in the description below along with links
to
Everything else that i've talked about and i'm going to talk about today in the order that it's talked about and that's the last video
I want to talk in depth about today
But as always there's a bunch of other videos that came out that are worth talking about
The first one is a VIP video from chase hawk at
Woodward PA or woodward east then we had a video from ride BMX
it was a drop the pin with gary young then we have paul ryan's winter escape video from Mongoose and then a
CMAs or I've heard Crandall say Seamus McKeon
Let me know how you actually say that in the comments
But it's a UK travel advisory video. And this one is from FBM then we had I think
Most if not all of the daily grind
Rerouting DVD uploaded to rides YouTube channel
We've got sections from Trent Lutzke Mike vit to tow grant uber off
These are all really hard names to say Eric
Mesta a friend section Troy Merkel and Tony cherry and if there's any more that dropped today
I will put those in there as well and that's it for the videos this week now
I want to talk about some products a lot of a class and we the people's stuff this week
we had the claw Shogun grips released a class BIOS pivotal seat released with a
Redesigned base on it that is supposed to be stronger and more durable
Then we had the we the people logic sprocket released as well followed by a promo video for leery Edgar's
2019
airframe from fly bikes this one kind of feels like a
Teaser more than it feels like a promo for the frame because there's really not a ton about the frame in the video
There's a couple quick flash clips in there of it
but there is a lot more information in the description of the video like the head tube is
Seventy four point five degrees seat tube is 71 degrees
The rear end is thirteen point eight inches long. The stand over is nine point two five inches
The bottom bracket height is 11 and a half inches it weighs
5.2 two pounds and it comes in twenty one twenty one point three and twenty one point eight
So if you want anything less than twenty one, I guess you're out of luck
This is definitely made for going fast. And after that we can move into the interviews from this week
We had an odyssey BMX 10-spot video this time with Matt
Nordstrom and then we had the row back podcast this time with Tony D
And before I listen to this one
I honestly had no idea who Tony D was or what to expect from this podcast
But I'm definitely glad that I listened to this one
He had a ton of insight and stories and things to talk about from the mirror at Nyquist days
Because he was their team manager on Haro. He's now got a job with USA Cycling
So he talked a lot of how there's going to be a skatepark at the Olympic training facility
so that's gonna be something that's pretty cool and interesting to hear about and it's a
Totally different perspective than a podcast with just someone who is a writer
He's been in the industry for so long and I'm really glad that I listened to this one
Because there's so much stuff that you'd never hear or know about anywhere else
I definitely think that it's worth the just under fifty minutes of time that it takes to listen to this one
So that's it for everything that I have this week to talk about when it comes to BMX news. I'm gonna refresh
Ride real quick just to make sure there's nothing else to talk about. Yep
And actually there's two more product related things that I need to add in here real quick
The first one is from BSD and it goes with Chris Kyle's video and that is that he has a new signature
freedom frame with BSD the dimensions on this one are a
75 degree head tube angle a sixty nine point five degrees C tube angle an eleven and a half inch bottom bracket height with a
Nine-inch stand over and it comes with a thirteen point two to thirteen point six to five inch
chain
Stay the 21 and a half inch
Version of this frame has a longer rear end at thirteen point four to thirteen point eight to five inches
It comes in flat translucent red flat white and flat black in
lengths of twenty point two twenty point five
20.8
21.1 and
21.5 top tubes and it weighs five pounds
Even and the actual last thing that I have to talk about this week is the odyssey gary young warning grips
These are exactly what it sounds like
they're supposed to feel worn in from the time that you get them and there's actually a
Promotional video that goes along with this one with gary in it and i'm gonna play it right now just because I haven't watched it
Yet the video is only 47 seconds long. So i'm gonna try to talk about it in less than 47 seconds
It's gary young two tricks giant footplant tabletop over a huge fence and then a gigantic air out
transfer at a concrete skatepark
It shows the grips and has great b-roll there
165 millimeters long their dual compound with a tear resistant core their
Contoured and thin for a worn in feel and they come with the odyssey pardons
So with that being said, that's the last thing they have to talk about this week
