We got REA frames getting stickered and shipped out to shops, Chris and Jason making sure the BJs are being handled properly, handlebar tubing being delivered and a sprocket smorgasborg. Just another week in the life of your favorite USA Bicycle Motocross Manufacturing facility.
Umina Beach skatepark was host to the first stop of the Roast The Coast Jam series. What a jam to open the series it was! The weather threatened all week but the skies stayed clear and BMX mayhem was all that rained down on the Umina Beach skatepark.
Whenever we get a shout from Michael Dickson with some fresh footage, we know it's going to be wild. This new one is his best to date - all killer, no filler! Michael's abilities at whips out of grinds is ridiculous and everything else in this is equally jaw dropping. And that banger at the science centre in Glasgow, Scotland... Yeaaaaaah...
Q&A with Elite BMX Racer Vineta Petersone.
Second Riding section from Substrata's 2025 full length trails film "Yanking at home". Featuring locals flowing and cruising through the dirt jumps.

When you've got a new line dropping and most of the squad is in town you have to meet up and get a session. The new skatepark in Watts is top tier and provided a perfect location for an amazing session.
