Video: Alex Liiv Scarred


MTV's show Scarred has clips from all different types of sports, not just BMX. As fun as it is to watch inline skaters rack their nuts on rails... I find that I am drawn to the BMX clips only because it terrifies me that something like this could happen to me or any of my friends.

That said, I am not hopping 24 stairs to flat. Or in this case I should say to a flattened face. Alex Liiv was bored one day and decided to hop a double set. His wheel totally collapsed and he tastes the pavement.

What I'm wondering is did he laced that rim himself or did he just reach the physical stress limit of that rim? Watch this and start second guessing your bigger tricks...

Classic Video Post: Ruben Alcantara

There are only a handful of riders that go as fast and as big as Ruben but some people may say none do it with such style. Watching Ruben ride bmx is like watching birds soar. Sometimes you get so used to seeing smiths grinds and manuals at 1mph that you forget how fun it is to watch the big stuff...

Brandon Hoerres Bike Check

Brandon Hoerres just built a new Mutiny Nocturnal so Gaz did a bike check. I like that Mutiny sprizzzocket that he's rockin. Read about Brandon's new whip here.

There's also some other pics of the 45th street ditch and the 5 hip ditch.

And lastly, read the Neil Harrington's story about how his cat Eden went AWOL only to be found 5 weeks later.

Don't forget to read the Brandon Hoerres interview if you missed it!
