The Ride Isn't Always on Two Wheels
Some days, riding your BMX is the best feeling in the world. The moment your tires leave the ground, it's freedom. You forget about everything - school, deadlines, group projects, all of it. Then reality lands hard. A history paper is due at midnight. You forgot about the lab report. Your math teacher sent another email. It hits all at once. BMX riders are good at pushing limits. Still, even the strongest legs can't pedal through a 10-page paper. That's why some riders look for help with school. They'll search for help writing college papers while they get back on their bikes. And honestly, that's a smart move when your brain feels like it's doing tricks in midair.

Why BMX Riders Struggle With Homework
Riding takes time. School takes time. There's barely enough to split between both. Here's what most BMX riders deal with:

-Long practice hours: Jumps, flips, and races need repetition.
-Frequent travel: Events and competitions pull you out of town.
-Tired bodies: After a long session, typing an essay feels impossible.
-Focus fatigue: Tricks demand full focus. So does homework. Switching is hard.
-Online classes or hybrid schedules: These can be confusing and unstructured.

Back in January 2025, we flew out to Barcelona to escape the UK winter (met with more bad weather). BCN Funk 3 follows Nathan Goring, Jake Krebs, Tommy Dizzle, Ross Davenport, Pat Blunt, Mikey Barnes & Michael Barnes + friends we met on the trip Ike Duly.

Q&A with BMX Rider Tyler Fernengel

After a long and sweaty day at the Shred Zone at FISE Montpellier 2025, things closed out with a super loose Long Jump sesh, a 'Best Trick' hosted by Bicross, and a wild 'Best Line' session hosted by BMX Avenue. Shit got crazy!

On day one of FISE Montpellier 2025, the Shred Zone saw the Para BMX x FISE jam go down and it was truly mind-blowing. The level of riding was through the roof and watching all these guys land tricks together was something really special. They even went for a dip afterwards!

The Rumble In Richmond continued the no-holds barred, singe-set dirt jump comp held on the infield of the BMX track in Richmond, Virginia, with an added bonus feature mimicking a Kona Skatepark quarter pipe. The resulting day was non-stop positive vibes, and riders pedaling their ass off and straight-up sending it.

Street qualifying saw 59 rider whittled down to 16 semi-finalists, and this year the format got flipped on it's head. 16 riders go head-to-head in 1 on 1 battles, with the winner moving through to finals. It's safe to say the new format is a success! Watch all the highlights here and look out for our finals video real soon.
