hey everyone and welcome back to bmx news a weekly bmx news show where i talk about everything that
happened in the previous week within the world of bmx i think you guys might care about that being
said the first two things that i have to talk about this week are things that i've already
talked about in previous bmx news videos but now they are official the first of those is that the s
m mystery rider that i announced a couple weeks ago is officially ryan biz jordan and this comes
with a welcome video to s m it's actually really really good it's entertaining because they got
their nice little skits and fun things in the video where chris muller is counting money at
the beginning and then they go through a sponsor me tape thing and just you have to watch it to
see what i'm talking about but then the riding it's biz it's really good i would have loved to
see some dirt in there i really hope we can see biz riding some dirt soon because they showed an
old clip of him riding dirt it was really really cool but with that i definitely think you guys
will enjoy this video and then devin smiley is officially off of a claw and now he is 100 all
in with fly bikes i talked about this previously now it's official so we can say for sure that both
of these things are real and i'm kind of liking this whole bite-sized bmx news thing where i
talked about biz and i talked about devon in a full one but i like the concept of talking about
these things as they happen and then talking about them again whenever they're confirmed or
eventually there's gonna be one that's refuted but after that we've got the final results of battle
of the brands from source bmx and the winner of it is first of all sabrosa got fourth cult got third
fiend got second and bsd of course got first we all saw their video we all knew that they deserved
it and then fiends challenge video absolutely earned them the second place spot so i really
hope the battle of the brands happens again in the future maybe even in the same spot with some of
the same like challenges being at the same spot so that it's possible that teams will run into each
other either way though i just hope that they keep it going and keep improving it at the same
time after that the last highlight for the week is that bmx the game put out a halloween update with
more than just halloween themed content they did improve a few more things past their major updates
we've got updates coming weekly at this point and if you join their discord server you can see that
they're almost in constant contact with people and letting people know that there's updates
out there and available and i'm just psyched to see that they're continuing to improve this game
so much after so many years of just nothing it's like a light switch has been turned on they know
they've got issues they're improving on them a few of them that are included in this halloween update
are that it literally says here that they've made a lot of improvements to physics the long four
roll back in the first iteration of the can can as well as fixing absorption on drops and a removed
delay on impact as well as removing the feeling of slow-mo i hope that that is the lag or the input
lag if you've played the game and you've seen these improvements and you've done the halloween
update let me know in the comments down below how much better it actually is and if the real old
potato is in here let me know dude in the comments down below because i'm curious and i haven't had a
chance to play it at all since the very first iteration that we could play and that brings
us into the videos from this week the first one that i want to talk about is the main video that
i want to talk about this week and it's definitely one that i think all of you should check out and
that is dan conway's video that came out for gt called sick mother effer you see it right here
but between the song and the writing this video is super fast paced and i absolutely love and
i wanted to make sure i hit on this that even though dan conway is doing so much crazy stuff
in the streets on rails and gaps and everything that he does he also doesn't neglect putting in
the skatepark clips where he's doing a back rail foofanu or poof in a really steep big corner or
doing a super tech 270 over double peg over fakie on a quarter pipe setup i just love that he uses
his brakes and does his tech stuff and does all the crazy stuff in the streets that he does
and there is quite a lot trick after trick hammer after hammer fast pace with the song in this video
is just really enjoyable to watch and i definitely think that anyone who's watching this bmx news
video right now will enjoy this video from dan conway and gt after that we've got a few more
videos that i thought were worth mentioning but i didn't want to talk in depth about we've got one
from fly bikes called encore and it's with semcock then we've got drop in with the leaper bros for
drop in coffee then we've got a video from digg in their dig local series with wheelies man this
one has a cool concept behind i do want to mention real quick so this guy is a co-owner of la cribs
a bike shop and he has been for over eight years so it's hard to get out and ride being at a bike
shop and be so busy and it says with everything going on with kovid they had a tight schedule so
it allowed him to get out and ride more and make this video and i just thought that was pretty cool
and i definitely wanted to make sure that i shared it with you guys and if you do want to check out
this or anything that i've talked about or will talk about it's all in the description below in
the order that i talk about it and then we had two nora cup videos come out from our bmx one
for the transition writer of the year corey walsh and one for the trail rider of the year maddie
aquazap and these videos are basically a bunch of people who voted for nora cup saying why they
voted for this person why they deserve to have won and congratulating them along with some riding
from that person and then at the end of each one of them they've got the person being surprised
with the nora cup somehow with corey walsh's it was cool they had the trophy in a backpack and
somebody asked them to get a battery out of it he opened it up there it was and it was a cool
little reveal for maddie's they put it underneath a wheelbarrow at the trails and tried to make it
look as inconspicuous as possible but it seemed like at least i got the impression that he knew
something else was up and it was just really cool to see these videos and i'm glad that they put
them together and that the guys at rbmx had the forethought to do something like this because this
definitely took some planning to make happen and i'm excited to see the rest of them for the rest
of the nora cup winners and that brings us to the products from this week the first thing i want to
talk about here is from the bite size news video that i had previously this week on the cinema
projector stem if you don't know anything of what i'm talking about just go to the description below
and check out the video that i posted previously talking about this thing there was a whole bunch
of internet commotion going on about it which i was just interrupted by the first hail or snow i
guess you could say of the year anyways there was a whole bunch of internet commotion about
this thing online this past week and if you watch that video i talk about all of it my thoughts
behind it and i really don't want to just repeat myself so that's where i'm going to leave that one
and now we can talk about the kink cross cut frame that was just released this past week so what kink
has to say about this frame on their website is that this frame is the definition of a new school
modern geometry build so the geometry for that is at the link in the description below if you want
to check it out there's a couple different things that stood out to me though one the fact that this
frame is built intentionally to fit 25 or 28 tooth sprockets i know some frames if your sprocket's
too far in if you have a 28 tooth without enough spacers it will hit the frame it looks like this
one is made to not have that happen and then the fact that it will fit up to 2.55 size tires
i don't even know if anyone makes tires that big right now if so let me know in the comments down
below it might be a sign 2.55 tires are coming in bmx probably from kink if they're making a frame
to fit them or they're just trying to future proof it in case tires do end up getting that big it's
kind of interesting to see and i'm curious to see what happens moving forward with tires and if they
really do get to 2.55 i thought 2.4 looked really big i can't imagine 2.55 tires and if it exists
somebody let me know so i can look it up and check them out then we got a couple interview things to
talk about this week we've got the cory anastasio unclicked podcast which i listened to the entire
thing of it's over two hours long but it is entertaining all the way through if you've ever
heard corey anastasia talk you know that he's a very charismatic person and you can just listen to
him talk about things and tell stories for hours and that is exactly what this podcast is and it's
really really it's a great listen honestly and if you haven't checked it out yet do yourself a favor
and at least listen to the first 10 minutes then after that we've got a video with daniel dares
watching his 2004 sponsor me tape that originally got him on to the albies team he goes through the
whole video kind of explains things and talks about it and i genuinely enjoy this one i really
really hope that some of these long-standing pros will do the same thing and watch their original
sponsor me tapes or videos from way back in the day videos that we may have never even seen i
know i have never seen that video of daniel dares watching it alone just to see his riding back then
was really interesting and i think it would be so so cool to see more of this from people maybe
even like jamie besswick's first ever video if he has one if he ever made one something like that
can you imagine if not just to see the progression from where people were then to where they are now
because if you watch daniel dear sponsor me tape from 2004 you can see that his riding level now is
like astronomically higher i'm not saying he was bad back then he was definitely progressive in
doing things that not very many other people were doing but his riding now is just faster smoother
he seems to be going higher and doing things a bit more dialed obviously 2004 was a different
time but what i'm saying is i enjoyed this video and i think you will too and if you've already
watched it let me know your thoughts in the comments down below as well as your thoughts on
anything else that i've talked about today it was kind of a light week in bmx news so i'm curious
to hear your guys's thoughts on anything that i talked about let me know what you think of bite
size bmx news videos and i will keep doing them if you're new here hit the subscribe button while
you're down there and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow for another video thank you for watching
