My fever is literally breaking right now I can feel it
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 would be MX
I think you guys might care about with that being said I'm sick. You can probably hear it
So let's make this one quick
So I almost got all the way to the end of recording this news video when I got to the product section and realized that
There was something that I needed to 100% talk about first in this video
So I recorded it and moved it all the way to the beginning
So if anything seems weird after the fact it's because I recorded something and moved it all the way to the beginning after
Already recording what I thought was going to be the beginning of the video
That being said let's talk about the purge stem from United
If you look closely at the picture on the screen right now of the stem
You might notice something a little bit different about the top plate of this stem and you'll notice that
it's completely shut on the front but not in the back and that is how this stem is designed in a way that
eliminates the problem of an uneven plate on your stem and
Over-tightening one side over the other or just any of the problems that can be caused
By having to worry about your stem plate being evenly spaced on both sides
It clamps all the way down on the front
so what you do is you tighten the front bolts so that it's all the way clamped down and tight and
Then you tighten the back bolts until they're tight and that's pretty much it
You don't have to worry about spacing or anything like that
I think that's a fantastic and simple idea and I can't believe that no one has done it before and this
Legitimately could and should change the way that stems are designed in BMX
Moving forward from this point out if you can eliminate having to worry about the issues and hurting people
From a uneven stem plate and just completely take that problem out of the users hands
why wouldn't you do it and I think that everyone should take a look at this and
Potentially learn from it because it could be huge if it works out
Way that it's supposed to and companies usually go through certain periods of testing with their products before they come out to the public
So I would imagine that this has been thoroughly tested to make sure that it does what it's supposed to do in a safe manner
So hopefully that continues
With it being out to the public and hopefully we see it integrated into more stems in the future
if it does what it's supposed to the first thing that I want to talk about this week is that
Swamp Fest is going to be absolutely insane
I'm sure all of you have seen this picture before you know that anyone who tries this is insane
I'm sure you've seen the alligator thing going over the quarter pipes by now. There's so many crazy ramps there
It's just gonna be insane
So I've linked a video in the description below to a Scottie Cramer video where they're riding some of the ramps
Before they got that crazy
horizontal loop and over the quarter pipes alligator mouth thing built
but I'm sure that any of you who go are going to have an
Amazing time and then after that I want to quickly bring up the new lavender G sport rib cage rims
Because let's be honest by the time that you're seeing this they're probably sold out already these things go super fast either way, though
They are available. I think maybe they're already sold out
You guys can find out the link in the description below as well as there's links to
Everything else that I'm going to talk about today in the order that I talk about it within the description below
So there's anything you want to check out?
You know where to find it now and then I've got a trailer that just came out this morning for the go fast pull up
The Jimmy levan story that is coming out and being premiered at swamp fest. There's also a pre-order that is available
now I just got done watching this trailer and I can say that I absolutely
Cannot wait to watch this full-length video. It's going to be amazing. There are so many interviews from so many
High-profile iconic people within BMX talking about Jimmy levan, and I don't know very much about him
So I'm excited to learn and I think that anyone who watches this trailer will be excited to see it as well
Then after that we've got boom boom
Boom some more products stuff that I wanted to put in the beginning of the video because psyched on this shirt
And I'm sure that you've seen this picture on Facebook. You might not be aware that it is a shirt that is available
It's the there's no BMX. No bench in BMX shirt
This was designed by Damien Fulton the originator of radical Rick here
you can find it in the description below where it is available in kids and adult sizes in both the t-shirt version that I just
showed you as well as a
Long-sleeve version both in that gray color that you saw and it's available in youth small all the way up to adult 3xl
So check that out if you're interested and that's it for the things
I wanted to talk about first that brings us into the sponsorship news for this week
First thing here is a video welcoming Jonathan Medina or Medina. We have a town around here that we call Medina
So that's how I say it it's welcoming him to Sunday's flow team
It's a quick 1 minute 10 second long video of nothing but street riding
It's got burly stuff mixed together with some technical stuff and you can clearly see where sunday is going with their team
With the people that they've been adding recently they're going for a technical
Burly street setup type style and theme for their team and hopefully it works for them after that
We've gotten the news that Boyd Hildur is off demolition
This actually came out last week, but I didn't get a chance to talk about it and that's it for sponsorship news
We've got a couple different jam highlights videos to talk about
The first one is from the 2019 night harvest jam followed by a focal point
BMX highlights video from the bank's jam
2019 uploaded to Diggs YouTube channel and then a video of the BMX Winter Games in I'm
Not even gonna try to say it
2019 video that's it for contests and jams and that brings us right on into the videos from this week
And I am very excited to talk about this first one
It is a video called one-night stand featuring Bobby Altizer and it comes from standard
It was filmed at the margarita ramps at standards
Factory or warehouse or building whatever you want to call it where they build their stuff at
It was filmed there and it just features a ton of amazing lip trick-riding from Bob
I'll Tizer. He's one of my good friends and I I just can't say enough good things about this, dude
Amazing bike rider. There's so many tricks in here that just don't make sense
Including the last one which if you don't care about this video at all
You have to at least watch the last clip because it will literally blow your mind
So you ever watch a video where you feel like you can't comprehend how completely?
Insane everything is because every single clip is completely insane and there's no filler
Well, that is Dylan Lloyd's year of the buck video from We the People that came out this week
Every single clip is so utterly
insane that it like
Overtakes your brain you can't comprehend how crazy it all is Dylan
Oeid is at the top of his game right now, and it's just insane and it's definitely a nice
Transition or juxtaposition between the last video which was all lip tricks from Bobby
This one is all street tricks from Dylan Lloyd and I feel like they're kind of on the same level but in two completely different
Categories and it's awesome
I definitely think that you guys will enjoy this video honestly
I feel like I didn't go into as much detail as I probably should have about this video
Which is just another reason
For you to watch it because it was crazy enough to make me not be able to go into that much detail
Just know that the last clip is a three whip down a big stair set and that's insane
and then after that
I want to give a bit of a history lesson for any of you that might have been not born yet in
1994 I've got a video that was uploaded to the snake bite BMX youtube channel featuring. Blab Brad
Blanchard and his
1994 dirt Bros cheese video section this one right now
If you're watching any video this week, not even if you're going to you're gonna watch this video
It's only four minutes long and I promise you that it's going to be worth the watch for you. It's got seven 20s
Gigantic huge canyon type gaps, maybe not Canyon but ravine gaps. It's like 20 or 30 feet
It's got a truck driver in it
It's got huge fly-out crazy tricks like they used to do on the dirt fly outs
It's got some Street stuff some wall rides
huge wall ride to fakie bar spins
360 over actual dirt jumps not just the step ups just so much crazy stuff and it was
1994 before some of you were even born you have to watch this video. It's
Amazing and I don't think I have even seen it before watching it just now and I'm probably gonna watch it again
because of how good it was people have been great in BMX for literally ever and
I think kids don't realize it and think that they're
Inventing things that have been invented 20 years ago just because they haven't seen it because no one's told him to watch it
So this is me telling you to watch this video and that's the last video
I wanted to talk in depth about this week. But as always there's a few more that are worth checking out
So let's list those right now
The first one comes from Liam's Ingeborg and BSD and it's called kicked out of Cali then we've got profiles
neighborhood crawl from BMX in a video featuring
Dakota brat someone who montana ricky talked about in a writer spotlight video
It's called not your average woodward video and it definitely isn't and after that
We've got a longer one for those of you who like longer videos. It's called BMX Foo Legends Shawn Swain Shawn Swain is
Absolutely a legend from what I've seen he does so much crazy stuff in the BMX foo DVDs
So if you want to check this one out, like I said before, you know where to find it
So that's gonna be it for the videos this week
You already heard how I felt like I needed to move the purge stem to the beginning of the video
So that means I already talked about all of the product related stuff and that brings us into the interview section of the video
The first thing I want to talk about here is part one of John Lee's the BMX in our blood podcast
John Lee is known as one of the nicest people in BMX
So, although I haven't had a chance to listen to this one yet
I'm sure that you guys are going to enjoy it as all of the BMX in our blood podcasts are
Fantastic and that brings us to an unclicks podcast that I was listening to while preparing for this video featuring Mike Tucker
Clark through the first hour. It's been fantastic. Mike is
definitely a extreme crazy and
Interesting guy that you will no doubt be interested in hearing about through this podcast
And then the last thing I want to talk about this week also features mic
Huh Clark, and it's from the series days in the life of Mike Tucker Clark from demolition
This is episode 2 and it actually covers the day where they did the podcast
Starting with breakfast then moving down to heading to San Diego where?
Dennis and Mike had a session at Claremont skatepark and then the podcasts so it could be a nice appetizer
before you actually get into the podcast if you want to watch it first and with that being said
I think that's the last thing to talk about this week as I refresh vmx Union where I get all of my information
for these podcasts or most of it and
Yep, I beat vmx Union to talking about the go-fast pull up trailer because I talked about it before he had
It posted got you care. Either way about that's gonna be it for this week's BMX news video
Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. If you did, let's talk in the comments about your favorite thing
Do you think that the purge stem is going to change BMX stems forever?
Or is it fixing a problem that a lot of people didn't really have?
I personally don't think that's the case but some of you might so let me know in the comments down below
