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
I'm back from New Jersey back from Montana Ricky's house and the news is back to normal
So let's get right on into it with the first things that I want to highlight this week
And that is the a clap seismic hub has finally been revealed totally
We've seen the internals completely
There's pictures of everything in descriptions of how it all
Works for everyone to check out and to give a quick summary of how this works
there's two
ratcheting rings that go together
with Springs on either side of them that have been specially designed to
Allow it to be a driver going one direction and Coast going the other you guys want any further details on this it is in
The link in the description below will be the first link and everything after that will be everything else that I'm gonna talk about in
The order that I talk about it, there's a few benefits that come with this design the first of those being 100%
Constant in full engagement of this hub because of the nature of the ratcheting ring all of the teeth are in contact at all times
Whenever you're pedaling so rather than having two to four calls in contact with a ratcheting ring the way that we see hubs conventionally
right
Now we have every single tooth in contact at all times
And that is exactly why we see skipping in some hubs today
We're putting all of that force on to two to four paws in contact with a ratcheting ring when you think about it
All of that force pedaling down on your bike is kind of a lot
So it's understandable that it would skip sometimes whenever it's only being put onto two to four
Tiny little points to drive the entire bike forward with the seismic hub. That's not the case
It's always in
contact and always
Engaged whenever pedaling forward another benefit of this seismic hub design is that it's a lot lighter and easier to work on
you're just popping out these little cog looking things and
Popping them back into the hub and I'm showing everything that I'm talking about on the screen as we're talking about it
So it really seems like it's going to be awesome and hopefully it's a total GameChanger within MX hubs
I'm excited for this and I'm excited for flies magneto hub
Which also could be a complete game-changer in the hub space?
I'm sure that someone's already thought about it or someone's going to be mad that I'm spewing this into a BMX news video for anyone
To watch but can you imagine if they figured out a way to use magnets instead of these Springs to push these?
ratcheting rings together so that you never need any sort of spring again and the only mechanical pieces are these two
Little ratcheting rings that go into your hub in your driver that could be another a little game changer if someone does it
Hopefully they do and if no one's thought about this yet. You're welcome for the idea. Give me some royalties. Later
So to wrap up talking about the e-class
seismic hub
it's going to be available in a few different options both left and right side drive as well as email and
Mail, there's a whole bunch more info on dig about this
There's a write up there's a promo video which is kind of not
Nearly as good as just looking at the pictures on dig site
But both are linked below and as I said earlier
You can find links to everything else that I'm going to be talking about down there as well
And that brings to the next highlight thing that I want to talk about this week and you already saw it in the title
but it is this insane sprocket that's coming out from
Brotherhood, I believe is what it's called. It's abbreviated
BRZ r HD and it's this guard sprocket
That is totally not really a guard sprocket because they don't
recommend it for heavy use and it literally says in this write-up on BMX union that they
Recommend using a different full guard sprocket if you're trying to grind
So basically, this is for all of you people who have garden sprockets
But no pegs on your bike and never plan on grinding whatsoever
Totally for looks and when it comes to the looks of this thing, it is awesome
It seriously looks amazing and if they could make this so that it wouldn't
Completely disintegrate the first time that I do a 180 sprocket 180 on a concrete Street spine
I would totally ride this thing, but I guarantee I would totally
Obliterate it the first time I wrote it at Canal Flynn skatepark, so it's out of the picture for me
But I think worth talking about because it's kind of crazy and extremely cool looking
I'm also curious to hear you guys thoughts on this one as well as the class seismic hub
I really want to hear what you guys think about that hub. So let me know in the comments down below
Let's have a conversation about it
And let's move on to the rest of the BMX news
Interrupted by these raccoons that are outside because I forgot to shut my window and I feel like that's why I can't concentrate right now
first thing that I want to talk about is a
Contest and jam related thing in the only contest and jam related thing
And that is that Marc Webb won the BMX world's dirt contest this year
I've said for quite a while now
And I don't think anyone would disagree that Marc Webb is one of the best BMX riders ever and out there right now
And I've said quite a lot that I think Marc could do anything he wants to anywhere
He wants to any time that he wants to and this just about proves it because he won a dirt contest
Although it's just a whole bunch of dirt jumps in a row
So it's basically box jumps and we all know that he is insane a riding box jumps doesn't really matter
He beat Mike Tucker Clarke and Declan Brooks in a dirt jumping contest pretty awesome
And there's a 2 minute 27 seconds. I like real from this contest winning runs
You guys can check out if you want to and that brings us into the videos from this week and as we start to talk
About these I want to point out
So you guys notice how much variation there is in?
everything that I'm talking about this week from the first thing that we talked about in this new amazing hub to a
crazy-looking
sprocket all the way to down to these videos that we're going to talk about the first one being the dirt jumping contest that we
Just finished talking about then
the first video that I want to talk about is a drop the pin with Hobie down that's in
Spain bot alone of Spain to be specific, but there's tons of amazing
Setups and spots in this video that you could probably only find in
Spain then after that we had a hundred raw seconds with Cory Walsh
So you know what?
You're gonna get there some trails like bull riding and there's tons of it in this hundred seconds
and it's all amazing that only Cornwall could do and make look that flawless and
The only word I can use to describe this riding is beautiful
I don't care if you make fuss before it then after that we've got
volumes Pacific Northwest tour video that features Brock Rayford Billy Perry and DeMarcus Paul just to name a couple of the
People in it and this has got everything
from skate park just
Street to setups and the parking lots and bike shops to an indoor skate park in it
And then after that we've got the craziness riding. That is Steve Kolb set to a gobsmacked song
So if you've ever seen Steve Kolb's riding, you know that it's unlike anything that you've ever seen before both creative wise
Skatepark wise flat land wise and just everything that he does is totally within his own realm. So that is
Completely different than everything else that we're talking about. Then after that. We've got fbm riding, Syracuse, New York
so they've got that East Coast grimy Street spot stuff that they're riding in here just tons of variation there and
It's not even it yet. But wait, there's more after that. We've got a video with Mattias dant walk from Haro
So that's flatland thrown into the mix. So literally
Everything that you can imagine except hardcore straight-up trails to talk about this week. And guess what?
There's stuff to talk about with trails too because we have to talk about the petition on change.org
Or calm or whatever it is to try and help save push woods up in Canada
So you guys want to help out and sign the petition that's going to be in the description as well
So there's the trails news stuff to talk about literally everything you can imagine in
variation within
BMX to talk about this week and I wanted to make sure that I pointed that out for you guys to take notice up because
I think it's pretty freakin. Awesome. And how do we top all of that off of?
Course with a video of someone who can do all of it and be amazing at it and that is Dennis Anderson
We've got a video from Dennis Anderson or featuring Dennis Anderson from demolition
Where it's a behind the scenes look at everything that went into capturing a poster for demo
Listen at what looks like a skate park but I'm assuming is a street spot
That is just amazing and that brings us into the product related things to talk about this week
The first of those is the second edition of G T's complete story this time from our BMX
The first time was from ride BMX same people same concept all of the guys on GT that have their own signature complete bikes
ride those bikes on the streets wherever they want to and
shred them and they made a video out of it for everyone to enjoy and just like last time this is an
Extremely well done video everything from the riding to the filming to the editing to the song choice all went together
Very well to put together a really good video and the concept was exactly the same
They showed up with no bike built up their signature complete bike from GT then proceeded to go out and absolutely
Shred the streets with them. There was no holding back
whatsoever in their riding
This is a very apparent when you watch the video and then we can talk about
SMS behind the shield book that is available for pre-order right now and to talk about it and give you guys a description
I'm going to read directly from their description. It says behind the shield is an in-depth account of the lunacy and legacy. That is
SNM bikes an American bicycle company
Pre-order now and pick up in person at the behind the shield launch party July 2nd
Will ship it if you can't make the shindig that is directly from S&M bikes
So if you guys are into this, you know where to find it
I think it's pretty cool to see this and SNM is one of the companies in BMX that has been here pretty much
Since the very beginning that brings in to a quick promo video from kink for the new king william's
2020 complete bike as always. It's from kink made by Darrell taco
So, you know that it's a really well done video and that's all I can really say about it
It's a very well done promo video featuring Nathan Williams and his signature
Complete bike with the last clip probably being my favorite one because it's panning over on the complete bike
While Nathan is doing a grind down a rail in the background pretty awesome
If you ask me we can move on to the interview section of the video this week
And I've only got one thing to talk about and that is another imprimatur BMX podcast this time featuring Steve Carr
Oh, I hope I said that last name, right?
If I didn't I'm sorry, either way though, Steve owns and operates one of the very few remaining rider owned and operated
BMX shoe companies and that's pretty cool. It's scg shoes and I've heard a lot of good things about them
So if you guys want to check out his podcast or anything else that I talked about today
Links as always or in the description down below with that being said that's gonna wrap up this week's BMX news video
