Most action sports exist on two levels. There are the high-flying tricks that you see in big air contests and subsequently slapped on a 7-Eleven Slurpee cup or X Games billboard. These big tricks are great, they have that wow factor to the general public because they can understand the difficulty and danger in a big gap or a double backflip. They see this stuff and it may pique an interest in the sport, maybe that interest one day turns into a career for little Johnny or Betty and that’s how the sport survives.

The other level is what those already heavily involved in the sport enjoy— the technical wizardry that amazes even the best pros when they witness something new and creative. This is the level that has brought us Alex Coleborn today. With all the recent hoopla surrounding Jed Mildon’s amazing triple backflip, we thought it would only be fair to match it with some technical mastery. Coleburn flows around miniramps like he was born and raised on one, and his work recently earned him a spot on the Nike 6.0 UK team.

If this is your first introduction to the kid, start with this video and then get ready to spend the rest of your day sorting through all the YouTube footage of him. Then, when you’re ready to take it to the tech level, check out our BMX shop and get pedalin’.

2010 TW Ride BMX NORA Cup Awards

Two reasons for two-wheelers to hit the city of two-timing this week, as the Transworld Ride BMX Awards and WETHEPEOPLE’s new flick premieres Thursday in Vegas.

The Number One Rider Awards show is entering year fourteen, so you know that the nominees in all seven categories will be vying for top honors. One man will be crowned king as Number One racer, flatlander, street, dirt and ramp rider, while the big awards will be handed out for best video part and video of the year.

Corey Martinez, Garrett Reynolds, Dakota Roche, Dave Thompson, Nathan Williams are all bound to have their fingers crossed hoping to take home best video part.

Cuts, Let ‘Em Talk, The Birth of Big Air, This is United, and Transworld’s very own Range of Motion are the nominees for video of the year.

Capping off the double dose is the premiere of WETHEPEOPLE’s new video, Anytime Now. The teaser’s pretty short but the movie is a full-lengther featuring parts to look forward to from Andrew Jackson, Bruno Hoffman, Mike Brennan, Sam Lowe, Max Gaertig, Jason Phelan, Maxime Charveron and Chester Blacksmith.

The best part about all the festivities is that they’re open to the public for the first time ever with all-ages seating area. It all goes down Thursday, September 23rd at the Pearl Theater inside the Palms Hotel and Casino Las Vegas. Check out Ride BMX for details.

The House has always been known for having the best selection of boards of all kinds…skate, snow, wake, whatever! Now, we’re bringing you bikes, too. The barn is fully stocked with two-wheeled fun machines just waiting for you to snatch one up. Lookin’ especially good in there is our supply from the fellas at FBM.

FBM Bikes has been around for a while, since 1993 in fact, and they’re not some beach cruiser company that’s jumping on the wagon to make a buck. These dudes have been doing it since before you were born, and they started doing it to make gas money so they could ride new spots.

Their bike’s ride smooth and true, thanks to the hand-built frames and top-notch components, all tried and tested during their early years while they were welding away adjacent to the legendary East Coast Terminal park in warehouses of the illustrious Johnson City in Upstate New York.

They’ve since graduated from their humble beginnings, are are reppin’ a team of heavy-hitters like Kenny Horton, Ruel Smith, Kie Ashworth, Joel Barnett, Tom Blyth, Adam Guilliams, Garret Guilliams and Eric Hennessey.

The House is bringing you The Heathen, The Marauder, The Executioner and The Warlord, so grab the one that works for you and hit those streets hard. How hard you ask? FBM’s are tough as nails, not the nails your mother get done every Wednesday, the kind of nails that Abe Lincoln built cabins with… we’d call them invincible if it weren’t legally irresponsible.
