You don’t normally see “Best of” videos for 10 year olds, but this year Kaden Stone really put it out there showing that you don’t have to be an adult to be rad on a BMX bike. His dad, Justin Stone, filmed most of the clips and you can see how much he’s progressed in just one year. Can’t wait to see what happens in 2014.
Kaden rides our Primer 16 Complete Bike which you can take a closer look at it right HERE.
Vasya Lukyanenko rides some incredible spots in this shared video from Woozy BMX. Look for his part to start around the 3:40 mark and you will probably be wondering if he’s riding a skatepark or not in the few opening clips. Very jealous Vasya!

Here’s the second installment of the Lil Pros BMX Tour video featuring our own Kaden Stone and Ryan Slusher. It’s seriously amazing that these kids are this good. BMX is at such an amazing point where tricks only pros could do are now done by kids on 16″ bikes. Keep it coming! Want to see the Sunday 16″ bikes that these guys are riding? Follow this LINK.
Now this is how you do a wallride! Gary Young blasts a huge euro table out of what could possibly be the dreamiest wallride set up ever. Could you imagine how much fun this would be if this was your local spot? Could you image how thick the tire marks would be all over the wall too? Either way Gary kills it out of a wallride for his latest Sunday print ad.

Arik Elstran or Erik Elstran depending on how you want to spell it is know for really hard and fun tricks. He shares an Instagram Slam that looks like it was a lot of fun to make. Good stuff as always from Arik/Erik.
What more can you say about Alex Magallan? Each of his video part is a work of art. Each clip seems to be handpicked and chosen perfectly for a video. Always fast, clean, smooth and always wanting more. This Operativ Brand part is so good. From the lookback in the beginning all the way to the fence roof ride thing. 100% pure Alex!
Did you know that the Primer 18 Complete bike has the shortest chain stay length of all other 18″ BMX bikes on the market today? It’s chain stay measures 11.75″ which is 0.5-1.5″ shorter than all the other brands. This is a HUGE difference to a 10-13 year old.
The chain stay length is measured from the center of the crank spindle to the center of the axle of the rear wheel. This isn’t a standardize measurement and can vary greatly from brand to brand. Over the past 10 years, the lengths have been getting shorter and shorter on 20″ BMX bikes. The short chain stay length makes it easier to lift the front end when jumping and bunnyhopping. A bike that is more maneuverable is more fun and easier to learn on. Choose Wisely!
There’s not many riders out there like Alex Magallan. He’s fast, stylish, but is still tech as well. Five years ago, he was on the icepick 180 game which is where most people are these days. If this pattern continues, in 5 years everyone will be looking super stylish while going super fast? I hope so. Alex’s part from our video Up, Up & Away is a stylish blend of high speed and tech. Perfect for a Thowback Thursday.
