ZACH BABINSKI FOR MERRITT

This was a super unexpected drop over the weekend! Our dude Zach Babinski just dropped a heater of a solo video for Merritt BMX. I’m not just saying this because we don’t see many web edits anymore, but Zach’s riding is super refreshing to watch. There aren’t too many people sending themselves these days and that’s pretty much all Zach is programmed to do. There are some MASSIVE sends in this and I’m so here for it.

Not only is Zach not afraid to throw himself off anything he can find, he can toss the bars whatever way he wants. His natural barspin is to the left, so pay close attention while you watch this. He has a lot of switch bars in this that look just as good as his regular bars. Oh yeah, that ender is a switch barspin by the way.

He’s currently recovering from a gnarly leg break, so flood the comments of the edit with some love for Zach cause he deserves it. WELL DONE MY GUY.

Zach Babinski – Hawaiian Gardens Air

First of all, today is our dude Zach Babinski’s bday! Zach has been down with SMC since day 1 and seeing him progress and shred over the years has been nothing short of a pleasure. Anyone that’s met my man knows he always brings the energy, positivity, and laughs. So head over to his IG and wish him a happy day!

We recently rode the Hawaiian Gardens skatepark and Zach was hitting this quarter so stylish-like that I needed to snap a pic. Bro tweaking!

Send Saturdays 4

Damn this one got a serious SQUAAAAD! Oscar is back with the 4th edition of Send Saturdays and there is so much going on here. We got a rare Zach appearance, one of my personal favorite slept on riders, Matt, Deacon, Marco, Oscar, Calvin, and Ryan. Very entertaining and HEAVY!

BACK TO TRACK RECAP + RESULTS

This past weekend on Saturday we held our highly anticipated BACK TO TRACK trick track competition. It’s the first trick track specific competition that’s happened since around 2009 and it was a major success! To give some info about how the day went, we started at our original spot and people started showing up. It was the PERFECT spot. Basketball court, poles to spin off, and a bank next to it to do tricks on.

Almost immediately, a park official came up and told us we all had to leave. It was a scramble to find a new spot and get everyone there, but we ended up at a park in long beach that worked out perfectly (sign of relief). We had about 50 people total and the energy was great. With the resurgence of Trick Track riding, I think people were excited to have an event specifically for it. We’re gonna be dropping a bunch of photos from the day this week as well as a video recap on our Youtube channel, so keep an eye out for that. If you didn’t make it out, I highly recommend you make it out next year cause it was a blast. Thanks to everyone who came, supported, rode, and everything in between.

DESTROY FRAME DROP

Destroy just released their new “Destroy Unicorn Killer Comp” frame and it looks killer. A more compact version of their famous Unicorn Killer series. Thing looks ready to shred out the gate. Heres what Destroy has to say about it:

“The evolution of a classic DESTROY FGFS Frame. Built for all around carnage on the street at the park heck why not dirt. A compact version of the frame that set modern day FGFS. Now with a geometry oriented to fit a greater range of riders while offering a centered and reliable under body feel.

With the idea always being that the UNICORN KILLER COMP would be put though constant torture we complimented this frame with one of our strongest rear ends and dropouts that fit 14mm axels.”
