Zak Earley kicks ass.

Jbetley — Tue, 01 May 2012 23:02:34 +0000

I don’t even know where to begin with this video. Zak’s best work to date. It’s no BS, just going fast and kicking ass.

Devon Smillie is no longer riding for Felt. We wish him the best with all of his future endeavors.

Devon Smillie on Osiris Pro!

Jbetley — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:20:59 +0000

This one has been hard to keep a secret. Devon has had a hard year so far. The first clip he tried to film for this video was that crazy wall ride crash. That took him out for a few months, right when he got back on the bike, he hurt his thumb on a half cab. Even with all those set backs, Devon was able to crank this thing out. Some next level street goodness. Congratulations, moving from Flo-siris to Pro-siris, you’ve earned it. Now watch and enjoy.

Devon Smillie iPhone edit.

Jbetley — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:28:06 +0000

It’s funny how good Devon is. When you ride with him, you can’t help but laugh how easy he can do the hardest tricks. While out for a relaxed session at some ledges by the beach, Cody and Dakota both thought the lines Devon were doing were so good, it needed to be filmed. So they busted out their iPhones and grabbed these clips, and Devon himself made the edit. Of course, the only proper music to use was The Beach Boys.

Wow. That thing is dialed.

Scotty gives you the run down of his bike. The bit about ballpark cranks is funny.

Felt BMX Race Team

AFoster — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 04:46:50 +0000

We (I) have been doing a terrible job letting the world know about our unbelievably awesome BMX race team that Felt has. Led by Carlos Perez a group of riders that is more like a family than anything have been tearing up the BMX race scene, they race the USA BMX national circuit with two races down so far in 2012. Reno, NV was the opener with Cole Tesar, Ricky Castro and Samantha Brown making the trip to debut the new uniforms. Next up was Oldsmar, FL where a bigger group of shredders made the trip including William Parker 10X/Cr, Gabe Hatem 11X/open, Bella Sanchez 12G/Cr, Coleman Habib 13X/Cr, Josh Walsh 13X/Cr, Hunter Stephens 14X, Cole Tesar 15X/Jr Devo, Samantha Brown 16G, Luke Segal 34 Cr, Meredith Lidstone 46X/Cr and Alaina Henderson Elite Women. With the merger of ABA and NBL sanctions late last year the Factory Team division has really stepped up and some may have thought Factory Felt/SC Actions Sports may not be a player in the stacked division. The group did the team PROUD and pulled off a 2nd place both days! Enjoy a video of Cole Tesar’s come from behind win in JR Development and a few pictures we grabbed from a great BMX Race website www.bmxnews.com . If you are a Facebooker the team has a really cool page that gives a little inside look at some of the rider and parents that make the team tick. We’l be working on adding the full team list to the team page in the next week or so. Next up is Morristown, TN the 1st weekend on March. -Alan

Devon got worked!

Jbetley — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:02:27 +0000

Vital put together this clip of Devon going down hard on a gap to wall ride. The first clip looks so nuts, some sort of alien like pop.

Zak Earley West Coast Trail Session Video.

Jbetley — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:40:29 +0000

Zak comes through with a solid trail video. He has that style we all wish we had. The highlight of video for me if that tire grab to turndown. You can can the bike starting whip into turndown during the tire grab. Sick!

Devon Smillie; Ice grind to Suicide no hander clip.

Jbetley — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:42:43 +0000

The description says it all. Just a quick one clip of Devon, doing something I’ve never seen before. But you know how Bmx is, someone could have done this in Brazil in 1980. Either way, it’s impressive.

Simon Moratz Dirt Video

Jbetley — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:42:31 +0000

Simon Moratz kills it on dirt. He has great style and sends big tricks. I’m not sure if that last clip is a corked 720 or a 360 flip, either way it’s nuts.

Vital Bmx puts The Fuse to the test.

Jbetley — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 07:51:52 +0000

About a week ago, I asked my good buddy Dan Quinn to go riding. But, instead of using his bike, he would use a Felt Fuse. Here’s the video, featuring riding and his reaction. Even if you don’t care about seeing what a complete can do, check out Dan shredding!

Scotty Cranmer ESPN Video; AWESOME.

Jbetley — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:10:37 +0000

This came as a total surprise as me. Mainly Cannonball to Manuel. So many new tricks in here. It reminds me of the 2004 Scotty. We’re looking forward to more of these. Also, if you didn’t catch the last post, Scotty is in the Netherlands. Check out the Rebel Jam live here. Now, enjoy the newest of the new, Home Court Advantage.

Don’t forget, Scotty’s Franchisekiller is available now.

Scotty is headed to Rebel Jam.

Jbetley — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:11:42 +0000

Mr. Cranmer is headed to the beautiful Netherlands to participate in the infamous Rebel Jam. One really cool thing about these big European contest is the live stream option. Head over to the home page, here.

Zak Earley Update

Jbetley — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:58:23 +0000

Yewwww! What’s up everyone? Hope the stoke has been good for everyone, it sure has been a fun and wild past month for me. Figured I’d throw this little update together with some pictures of everywhere I have been and everything I have been up to. Basically, the awesomeness started at Interbike. That was a blast, catching up with everyone and making new memories. After Interbike I got a last minute invite to come out to shred the Redbull Dreamline course in Minnesotta. I obviously jumped all over that! So I headed up to the small town of Wabasha where the contest was being held. It was hands down the best contest I have ever been to, just from the vibe and everyone that was a part of it, it was incredible. Not to mention the jumps were just amazing! Here’s a couple pics from the contest. Zak LOVES surfing

Then after Wabasha I went home for two days, and then headed back out to Salt Lake City to meet up with Eddie Buckley and drive out to the sand dunes of Idaho to roast dirtbikes for an extended weekend. I’ve been waiting my whole life to be able to ride the dunes, so when this came up, I was all over it in a heartbeat. It was insane! It felt like I was riding a dirt bike through Egypt. I get high.
I have been home since riding moto in Idaho, but lifes still been pinned. Everyday has been jam packed with bmxing, surfing, and riding moto. Fall time in New England is the best time of year anywhere. I have been digging a couple days a week and riding the trails non stop, and we got a new cement bowl right down the street from where I work. There have been good swells rolling in every couple of days and plenty of good weather, I couldnt ask for anything better. Here are some photos from home including riding at the trails and some surfing. Lifes about enjoying and thats what I have been trying to do lately, enjoy every opportunity I possibly can and I have been loving it. Thats all I’ve got for now, I hope all of you out there have a blast with whatever your doing and just remember to have fun!

Party on,

Zak

East Coast Trip Video #1: Escape the Heat Lightning

Jbetley — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 09:48:52 +0000

Here it is guys, video #1. We’re all very excited for you all to see this. If you’ve been following us on Twitter and Facebook, you will remember a few months ago Devon Smillie, Zak Earley and myself took a trip after the first Dew Tour in Ocean City down the coast. This video is part 1 of 2 and I feel like it gives a solid feel of how it went down. Next time we plan a trip to the east coast, we’ll go when it isn’t the hottest part of the country. Regardless, good times were had, and some good riding went down. Big thanks to everyone that made this thing possible.
