Live on FATBMX: 2024 USA BMX Lone Star Nationals Day Two by USABMX
Live from the Rockstar Energy Bike Park in Houston, TX!
VISUALS photo show went down last Saturday... Shouts to everyone that made it out... we had a great turn out... It was fucking awesome to see so many people come together and support each other... photos, vendors, tattoos, screen printing, air brushing, pizza, burgers, ramps, videos and overall good times... the end of the night ended with a BANG when Preston Okert turned PRO... we gotta do this again sometime...
The first pic I ever saw of some over tweaking something was Todd Anderson, who at that point in time-1985-was riding for Redline. I picked up a magazine in a mock 711 next to Faze 7 BMX centre in Waltham Cross, Todd was cranking a twisted lookback with his feet on the cranks arms, and his front wheel hitting his shin, I'd never seen this before, until that point a pic of a look back was anything with bars passed 90 degrees and the back end high.
We've got a treat for you today! Newest member of the United crew Rufus Dubery recently linked up with some of the squad and headed to Barcelona for a week of good times and… well, we’ll just let the video do the talking!
“With the crew” is our new vlog series, letting you in on the daily lifestyles of the Haro team. Perris Benegas recently relocated to San Diego, closer to Haro headquarters and much of the team.

From painting for hours on end in his St Kilda home-studio to pedaling through the city, popping manuals between cars and trams, Lew's riding creativity, raw power and technical spot use is a breath of fresh air throughout the urban landscape.
Vans Introduces New BMX Peak Silhouette in Partnership with Team Rider Lewis Mills
Vans BMX team rider Lewis Mills sees art in everything he does, and that mindset makes him the perfect candidate to introduce Vans’ brand-new BMX Peak silhouette — a progressive style that honors Vans’ BMX heritage while keeping an eye firmly fixed on its future as well. The “Lewshoe,” as Mills has dubbed his unique iteration of the new sneaker, is an extension of his own multihyphenate nature.
On his bike, Mills is known for his unique style in street BMX, combining technical proficiency and power to great results: an X Games silver medal at 20, a gold in 2022, and NORA Cup Video Part of the Year honors. To live up to these standards, Mills’ BMX Peak features a new ULTIMATEWAFFLE™ midsole, featuring a full-length molded design for cushioning and comfort that doesn’t sacrifice pedal feel, outsoles with a VDFPR (Van Doren Factory Pedal Recipe) rubber compound specifically formulated to enhance pedal grip and durability and a seamless, hot spot-free upper that makes use of Vans BMX’s comfy LUXLINER™ technology on its tongue and lining.
Off his bike, Mills is an accomplished painter who’s headlined gallery shows and received
