So, I may be a BMX rider, but I’m also a student.

Burly
If he wasn’t a pro BMX rider, he would be a clone of the NFL linebacker Clay Matthews. (more…)
Meet the Crew
Here is my best friend Quinn. He’s an awesome genius and a great character. He is: “the most interesting boy in the world.”
Being Teens
So I was clicking around (which is what I do every night when I’m “doing homework”) and came across these memories. (more…)
My Dream House
OH MY GOSH. This is the best and coolest freaking house that I have ever seen. I’m going to live in that house once I finally get out of my parents’ basement.
Here’s a song to keep you going. If you look up one artist this week, it should be Wavves. This song and many others deserve so much more attention. Wavves gives Green Day a run for their money any day of the week.
Walk the Talk
I’ll admit that I’m crammed on time this week and was planning on posting something more involved, so I just decided to throw up this video that started my obsession over web videos of things other than riding alone. Enjoy.
*disclaimer* I don’t condone any vulgarity here, so turn your volume down and don’t cuss in front of your parents.
Oh yeah, and here’s a tune to please your ears.
Appetizers
Just to wet your whistle, I’ve decided to post some of the videos that I think are monumental to BMX and the evolution of it in general. Stay tuned for more content in the near future. Enjoy.
*disclaimer* There is some vulgarity in these videos and references to drugs and the like. BE YE WARNED.
Humble Beginnings
Hello everyone. This is my first blog post and my first thing that I’ve ever written on the internet (besides Facebook), so bear with me. I am Ben Riley, a 17-year-old high school student with a passion for BMX and the people in it and the life around it. In short, that’s who I am and why I’m here. BMX has changed my life for the better and it will continue to influence me and facilitate my right of passage from boyhood to manhood as I grow in all aspects of my life. For all of the haters out there, I will admit it right now that I’m not amazing at riding, but I try. And I love it and respect it. I’ll be posting here twice a week, so stay posted to hear all about the BMX world. It’s mainstream access to BMX!
