Scott O’Brien at City Park in NOLA
Today has already been an amazing, what with Sam’s and MD’s. Check out this beautifully shot edit of Scott O’Brien at City Park, NOLA. Heres what Rob Possible had to say.
“Scott has been a big inspiration in my riding for many years; more than he even knows. Back in the day, Scott rode everything and when he showed up at contests he would bust out and hand out flat/street style to many. I even judged a dirt jumping contest Scott rode in were he pulled a tree ride in his run.#sick Today he’s know for his MC work at flatland contests, but to me he will always be an all around rider, with a bag of tricks that only a few of us remember and get to see. This edit is only a few tricks what he currently works on, but I hope to document more of his riding in the next few years. Scott’s passion and unique style for this sport is a true asset to all of us. Always fun hanging out Scott!”

Must Watch! Sam Foakes – Manchester November 2012
In Foake-us from James White on Vimeo.
How has there been so many good riders come out of the UK?…. There aren’t good spots to ride and we certainly don’t have good weather! outcasts of society, even by those who ride the same wheel size!.. maybe it’s the struggle, our stiff upper lip attitude, left over from generations past? i don’t know, but no one demonstrates this more than this man…..Sam Foakes a true English Gentleman! (unfortunately I deleted half the footage like an idiot but still…..Sam Foakes!! people!!) – James White
Sneak Peak – Bizhouse “Ratchet” prototype!
Sean White at Bizhouse is always thinking of radical new ideas for products, check this out!
Been talking to Kurt at BMX Union about this one. Heres his theory on it..
“They’re working on either a sprocket or some sort of bottom bracket that works like a ratchet wrench would work. When you pedal forward it engages and allows you to pedal, but when you are not putting forward pedal pressure on it, it allows you to freely roll backwards without pedaling. Similar to how if you are tightening a nut, you wrench and then pull it back to reset and tighten more.
Essentially this allows you to run a freecoaster without having to replace your rear hub.” Potential huge game changer!
I’m going to try and get a few answers out of Sean at Bizhouse about this one, so hopefully we can get some answers here soon.
