Jacob Lord kept popping up on our radar with wild tricks and big sends. His motocross background is apparent, both with his fast and gnarly gaps and his moto inspired tricks. While Jacobs riding is jaw-dropping, he's also a good dude off the bike who truly loves BMX, which is why we are so excited to welcome him to the Dan's Comp family.
Embark on an exhilarating journey with Tyler Frenzel as he travels to O'ahu to reunite with his childhood friend, Casey Smith. Join them as they immerse themselves in the island's breathtaking scenery and conquer its legendary skateparks.
From tech lines to massive drops, Matt is an absolute machine on a bike. To celebrate his one year anniversary at Dan's we bring you his official "Pro Part" video. This project was filmed around Matt's hometown in Massachusetts with Jona Jahchan behind the lens.
We are thrilled to officially welcome Matt Ray to the Dan's Comp Pro team! Matt is such a talented and humble individual with an infinite bag of tricks, and so much steez. Welcome to the family, Matt! Nothing but good times ahead.

What were your first thoughts on Covid-19 when it hit?
Michael Barrow: I don’t think anyone really knew what to expect. This was a brand new experience so it was very much a waiting game at first while we waited to hear what needed to be done.
Did you take any action from the start or were you thinking this would be over in a few weeks?
Michael Barrow: We anticipated shut downs and stricter guidelines so we began letting employees work from home, only having warehouse employees to ensure orders were getting out the door in a timely, but safe manner.
Now, being in this situation for many months, how did you manage to keep your business rolling?
Michael Barrow: The majority of our business is done online so we were able to keep it rolling with extra precautions in place for our employees such as masks, social distancing and working from home where possible. We cater specifically to BMX, but our local shop handles anything and everything bicycle
AMain.com, Inc has acquired certain assets of XP Innovations LLC who has owned and operated Dan’s Comp, The World’s Largest BMX Store, since 2005. Notably, AMain has purchased the domain and trademarks of Danscomp.com. Preparations are underway to quickly onboard a number of key brands in the freestyle segment and bring back the Race Category before the 2020 season gets underway.
Making the decision during the summer to identify someone to carry on the legacy of Dan’s Comp was a difficult decision for XP Innovations owners, who were also some of the longest tenured employees of Dan’s. Although multiple parties expressed interest, they chose to leave the brand in the hands of AMain as it was important to them that the new owners were vested in the industry and had a passion for BMX. Over the last several years, AMain.com, the parent company of Performance Bike, Bike Nashbar and AMain Cycling, has proudly supported a national level BMX Race Team, local racers of Silver Dollar BMX, and were instrumental in the construction of Chico’s public pump track.
