Kids riders enjoyed the race for the first time in a long time!!
"During the Regan administration in the USA, Nancy (Regan) created the “Just Say No” campaign. This encouraged children to simply say no to drugs. The movement was part of the government’s efforts into improving the War on Drugs. In the early 80’s, BMX was on the rise and so was a cheap, highly addictive form of cocaine known as “crack.” One high, was artificial, and the other was simply rad and reckless.

Grind after grind, in all shapes and sizes. Bradford O'Connell has been hard at work on this for the last 6 months in the Midwest, looping in Neutral Milk Hotel and Black Flag into the mix. Loving all the pedal/crank stuff in this. Doing it for Misfits Crew and Flat Earth BMX.
We're back in the heartland for another round of the USA BMX National Series! Day 1
When The Building Distro sends BOTH of their squads on the same trip, you already know it's gonna be a wild one. Earlier this summer, the Fitbikeco and S&M Bikes squads joined forces in Washington for one hell of a trip. Watch this stacked crew shred some of the finest street, park and dirt offerings that the Northwest has to offer.

When did you get picked up by GW?
Alise Willoughby: 2017
Can you tell a little about the GW brand?
Alise Willoughby: GW is a Colombian brand. I’m sure many people have seen the star Colombian BMX riders aboard these frames on their way to Olympic medals, but maybe aren’t aware of how large the brand is in South America across all disciplines ranging from very entry level products to the elite level. They have professional road teams, mountain bike riders, BMX race, freestyle, trials, balance bikes, commuter bikes, electric bikes, you name it… After Redline’s exit in 2016, it’s been a pleasure getting to work with another powerhouse bike brand that has welcomed me to their success-filled family.
