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 might care about and with that being said
This week is going to be a little bit of a slimmed down version
Of the news because with everything that's going on this weekend going up to Buffalo for the heroes in zeros Jam that's going on
I don't quite have enough time to watch every single video that came out this week
So we're slimming down the videos portion of the news video. Everything else is going to be included here
I'm going to try to make it as good as possible and next week. We'll have Montana Ricky's rider spotlight
So let's jump into the news
the first thing doesn't really have a
Category that it fits into but there was an article or write-up on back bone BMX with 11 reasons
Why riding BMX will make you a better person
It starts with the obvious of fun keeping fit and friendship and then it moves more towards
Things that you might not immediately think about like street smarts and independence
This is definitely a great read for everyone in BMX
Who rides I think you probably all have already seen it on Facebook or somewhere else
it's a great write-up from Tyler Jones penny over on backbone BMX, and there's a link in the
description to the write-up as well as
Everything else that we're going to talk about today in the order that I'm going to talk about it
we've got a ton of
Contests and jam stuff to talk about the first thing is from the Nitro World Games BMX park
we have Logan Martin's winning run highlight video as well as a Finals highlight video and then a
best-trick highlights video all from ride BMX
the finals of this contest got pretty insane and I think that the results this time we're definitely
fair
I do see that first and second place kind of were a battle between the amplitude of Dennis Anderson and
the tricks of
Logan Martin and this time the tricks from Logan Martin won it Dennis got second and Ben Wallace got third with an
amazing run
I was definitely rooting for Ben throughout the entire contest because he was killing it best trick got pretty
Insane best trick got pretty insane as well with Brian Fox taking the win with a 1080 over the spine after
Completely destroying his back wheel on one of the attempts he got back in there. He pulled it anyone
There was also the awesome food for new that you're seeing on the cover photo right now
That was pulled that also had some crazy bails as well. Then we had a teaser for 2019
Simple session. I know that February might feel like it's an eternity away
But February will be here before we know it and that means that simple session 19 is coming
It's going down February 2nd in third in Tallinn Estonia
And you can check out the link in the description to the teaser video for simple session
2019 after that we have some more Battle of Hastings teams announced. I know I said last week holy cow
There's a lot of teams, but now there's two more we've got Corey Martinez's team and Devon Smiley's team
I cannot wait to see what is going to happen with Powell Hastings this year
It seems like everyone in BMX is going to be there
Then we have a highlights video from the boilie jam from FBM and then another highlights video from the 2018
Baltic Games with Daniel Dhers and Justin Dowell in it. Then we've got highlights from the bill Feld City Jam
2018 as well as a GoPro course preview
of the Vans BMX Pro Cup 2018
Mexico course after that we can talk about some videos from this week. The first one is GTS
Fantastic Voyage
This is where they took a van with some of the GT team on an East Coast trip down to swamp fest
And they made this 20 minute video of it. Jeff Z also went along for the ride and took a ton of awesome pictures
Which he also put into a write-up on ride BMX then we've got one from Merritt called it rained
This one has Charlie chromeless Montana Ricky and Casey Starling in it
It's got an awesome vibe great filming and editing and even better riding
the last clip in this one from KC is pretty wild and it's awesome to see what these guys do on such a
Limited setup such as the merit warehouse. I know that it's got awesome stuff there
The reality of it is is that it's a warehouse and not an indoor skate park so it's not like to have an entire skate
Parks worth of ramps in there and what they do with what they have is awesome
And this is definitely a favorite of mine for the week
Then we've got Pasha sicko section from the hhx king of fences video and I'm not gonna lie to you guys
I totally forgot to watch that video before I started recording the news video this week
So I just watched it and oh my god
This video is amazing if there's anything on the must watch video list for this week
It's this video the dude at one point in the video did an x-up double peg grind and then switched his hands back
to
Normal ish or whatever and then uh next it up at the end
I'm not exactly sure how he did it, but it was crazy
And then the last clip of this video take notes on this one people because he did the most insane
6040 kinked rail grind probably of all time within BMX and his reaction in
Celebration for it was just awesome
You could tell how psyched he was
But he didn't throw his bike or flip off the camera or anything stupid like that
you could just tell how genuinely
Excited he was this is one you just you have to watch the video and that's it for the videos that I want to talk
About this week next we've got some quickie check it out. If you care news in the form of an Alex
Hi my bike check in a Gary young video bike check. We can move on to the products from this week
the first one is a shovel shield trucker hat from SNM comes in three different colors, and it's

ride on BMX talks with Ian Morris part one
So expect a part two after this one and then your favorite riders
favorite rider this time with chase DeHart
He talks about his favorite rider who is also a New Jersey native and legend
This is one I was interested in because the person that he picked has
somewhat of a very different style from him and no matter what it's cool to hear people who have been in the industry so long
Talk about who their?
Inspirations and their favorite riders are and I just noticed another roll back
Podcast with Kyle Carlson at vital BMX that was dropped last night
This one was with Corey Walsh which will be pretty interesting because I've never really seen anything other than Corey's crazy riding
I'll be interested to check that one out
And if you're interested in it too a link is in the description below
And with that being said, that's the last thing that I wanted to talk about in this week's slim down BMX news
Let me know what you guys thought of the slimmed down version of the news
maybe I'll do this more in the future because I know that I kind of get
Overwhelming with how many videos I include in this but there's just so many good videos
That come out within
BMX and I feel like there's some that don't get talked about as much and there's some that just
deserve the shine time and deserve to be talked about so I got to include them in a BMX news video I try to make
This video for all of you who don't have time to keep up on all of the BMX media websites
It's just something that I feel like not everybody has time to do whenever you could just sit here click off and listen to me
Talking and maybe find something or hear something
That you want to check out and then click back to it find it in the description and check it out that way
So hopefully at least a few of you guys find this BMX news series useful if you do let me know in the comments
So that I know that I'm not making these videos for nothing and that people are actually getting use out of them either way
Though I enjoy making them. So I'm going to continue with it
and like I said at the beginning
Next week is Montana Ricky's rider spotlight where I think he might be picking more than one rider this time
So be sure to check that one out
