BMX frame geometry can seem rather complicated at first glance. With all the various sizes and angles listed, how do these changes in geometry affect your riding, and which frame is best for you? In this week's "Get Tech" video series, we break down topics such as toptube length, headtube angle, bottom bracket height, and everything in-between, to help you choose that perfect frame based on your riding style.

One Night at Plaza with Ky Brisbois
Paterico's video that we dropped a couple months ago sure was a wild one! So we put together all the raw clips and crashes along with everything that went down in between.
This year's SM BMX took place at the Orminge Skatepark in Stockholm, Sweden and even though the weather wasn't quite on our side, riders did their best to have a good time none the less. Here's a short recap video of some of the events that took place!
Wethepeople's Canadian youngster Jeffrey Lapointe is as smooth as they come. Sit back and watch over 5 minutes of cutting edge street moves from the man himself. Jeffrey killed it for this one.

Eze Helmreich of Córdoba, Argentina rips his local trails for nearly 3 minutes straight. We met Eze back in '18 at Woodward West where he was working and riding everyday.

"Samuel is a 25 years old kid from a small town up in Galicia (north of Spain) called O’barco de Valdeorras. This place is a valley in the middle of nowhere. It’s got a tiny and shitty skatepark and no street spots but yet him and his best friend “Pombo” have been shredding that place for years. I only met Samuel once when we were teenagers but years later, we got to hang out again, he was funny, good on the bike and the king of the party, haha.
