It's been a minute amigos! We haven't filmed a Factory Friday for awhile but you best believe the hustle and bustle at The Building is still very much a thing.
We decided to make a list of the best young BMX riders from around the world that everyone should know about because they are the future of BMX!
Chase BMX is a BMX Racing brand created by a Champion, Christophe Leveque, with Industry Leader, Pete Dylewski, and at the time, up and coming BMX designer, Max Tiechon.
Some highly progressive riders came through after the early 80s BMX explosion, the kids inspired by the King of the Skateparks and early Freestyle contests at the start of it all. The next wave was snapping at the heels of the big pros of the time. Joe Johnson is one of those guys, making a lot of noise on the east coast, Joe built his own quarter up against his moms house, mastered it then continued on to create many of his own moves.
