It’s safe to say that Grant Germain nose (get it?) how to work that front wheel. You’d think he’s running our R25 forks since the steep offfset makes this trick easier but nope, the dude runs R32s. Filmed during our ODSY in PHX trip.

Hit up Ride BMX for this rockin’ new wallpaper of Adam Banton!

Last year, Eric whipped over a plane. This year, he crank slides a bullet. He also does a bunch of other awesome shit so make sure to watch this one.

Filmed & edited by John Hicks for The Come Up.

Broc Raiford is awesome, on and off the bike. Here he is doing it for Dan’s Comp.

We’re opening up the Full Factory ramps to the public on June 22nd, 12-4PM. Go tell everybody you know. Then go tell everybody you don’t know. Just make sure to bring a helmet and get ready to shred.

There are so many ways you can slide down a rail on a bicycle and Jim Cielencki has pioneered many of them. Ride BMX’s Friday Interview puts the spotlight on JC to get his thoughts on the history and future of rail progression.

For this week’s TGIF, we have Eric Lichtenberger threading a popped and proper G-Turn through a couple poles standing dangerously close to each other. Filmed during our ODSY in PHX trip.

Add Grant Germain to the list of dudes who should be in this year’s X Games. All the lines in his entry are fire.

Gary’s the latest dude up to bat for Defgrip’s By The Numbers series. Click on over to check it out.

Also, first person to supply us with a photo of this gets a digital hi-five:

I have a pretty sweet parrot costume that is made for someone about 6 inches shorter than me, so when I wear it, it rides up and gives me a pretty mean melvin (Front wedgie).

Here’s a new video of our boy JF!

Just got back in Montreal from New Orleans USA. First ride at my local spot in the Chiantown after the amazing Voodoo Jam event. Filmed with a Ipod 5, edit by me on the 05/06/13.

The folks at QBP/QBMX have an exclusive 27×18” Gary Young poster available to dealers for FREE with orders. Hit them up asap (Part # MA0086).

Here’s Matthias Dandois getting things done in Toulouse, France. Filmed within the span of three days, Matthias flatlands his way through a sketchy looking warehouse and then ends the video with his signature blend of street and flatland.

Our TGIF series is back and for its resurrection, here’s Sean Sexton with a whopper of a clip. A downside whopper to be exact, and coming out of a 180 bar nonetheless. The clip is from our ODSY in PHX trip and if you haven’t watched it yet, then something ain’t right.

Sean’s signature SXTN Stem is available now so you should probably hit up your local shops and favorite mail orders to get one.

It’s that time of the year and Terry Adam’s annual Voodoo Jam is popping off tomorrow 6:30pm-9:30pm Central Time. If you can’t make it to the event, you’re in luck because they have a live stream setup this year. Word on the internet is there’s plenty of riders from all over the globe coming and there’ll be lots of mustaches as well. Bookmark the link and make sure to watch it tomorrow!

The Bauer man gives you a quick break down of what you need to know about Sean Sexton’s signature SXTN stem. Brought to you by Ride BMX.

Austin’s 316 house is breeding some serious talent. Here’s Jared Swafford spending sometime in the California sun.

We recently sent out invites to a little kick off jam at the Full Factory ramps. Fudger came out to film and Z came out to shoot. The resulting session ended up being the Monday Edit today on the Ride site. We had a nice mix of people come out to break in the ramps.

Check out the video above, then hit up the Ride site for a photo gallery from session.

Keep an eye out for more treats from the #fullfactoryramps.

I always forget Hoang can do tailwhips (and hop whips for that matter). I guess it’s no surprise though, the dude’s a ninja.

Here’s part one of a new segment from Ride where riders talk about their worst experience with a cop, security and/or random hero. KC Badger gets tazed and Adam Banton heckles a janitor.

Brandon’s a machine. His Red Bull Phenom entry is filled with some hard lines.

I found a CD with a bunch of random photos in it and figured we might as well do a quick photo dump. I want to say most of them were shot on our way to Texas Toast last year.

Our Lincoln Stem is available now and here’s a quick promo featuring Gary Young. To get one on your bike, hit up your local shops and favorite mail orders.

• Top-load design
• Industrial chain link plates create a reinforced top cap hinge, eliminating the need for traditional bolt holes that can weaken the stem body in this area
• Angled top cap provides room for interior part configuration and simplifies assembly
• Internal clamping system, easily accessed via hole in stem body
• Forged 6061-T6 aluminum maximizes strength and minimizes waste
• 53mm reach
• 25mm rise or 7mm when flipped
• 9.8 oz (278g)

It ain’t over till the fat lady sings… and by a fat lady singing, I actually mean Matthias lacing some new flatland links. He’s neither fat, nor a lady. He is, however, a really good bike rider.
