If you ride BMX or are thinking of getting into the sport, there are three things you need to know before you make your purchase. Knowing these things can make all the difference in how much fun and how long you get out of your bike, and ultimately whether you’re satisfied with your purchase or not. 1) Why Buy a Good Bike? BMX bikes are built for BMX racing and tricks, but they are also often used for street riding. If you're going to be doing a lot of jumping, then you'll need a strong bmx bike that can take the abuse. Also, if you plan on using your bike as a form of transportation as well as recreation, then it's best to invest in one with better brakes because these types of bikes don't stop as quickly. It's important to note that all bmx styles use different types of tires and gearing so it's important not to buy one without consulting the rider beforehand. 2) What To Look For In a BMX Bike First, you'll want to know the bicycle's intended use.

 How to Treat Your Dog for Fleas and Ticks Fleas and ticks can infest your dog’s skin, causing discomfort and health problems. Luckily, there are many products on the market that are safe and effective at killing these parasites. These include flea and tick collars, shampoos, topical solutions, sprays, powders and more. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the various products available so you can figure out what will work best for your dog and your household situation. We’ll also tell you how to use these products to ensure you kill the fleas and ticks on your pet! How to Get Rid of Fleas Before you take your dog out for a walk, check his coat for fleas. Some dogs get live fleas, but others get fleabites or tick bites. You’ll know that your dog has fleas when he begins scratching excessively—and when live fleas jump off his coat onto your carpet or furniture. To eliminate these unwanted pests from your home, grab some heavy-duty insecticidal soap from pet supply stores or veteri...

Next  Diversity Quick Six is with Australian young gun  Jason Watts, who has been absolutely killing it lately with some insane web videos, getting picked up by Haro and a few trips to the states. Hit read more to learn some more about Jason ...

Just spotted this on Facebook . Apparently Rampit in VIC is in some trouble and needs some help from local riders. I'm not to sure on the exact details but if you're anywhere nearby be sure to get in there and show your support! Check out the Rampit website here or their Facebook here . If anyone can fill us in on some more info, do so in the comments!

This edit of Beechy is absolutely insane! A fair bit of bro-cam footage but it adds to the rawness. Sit back and enjoy! Killin it for Fit BMX Bikes .

Another new feature we're running on DiversityBMX is Ev's Tech Corner . For those unfamiliar Evan is one half of LUXBMX Store in Brisbane and is regarded by many as the best BMX mechanic in the biz, so who better to run a tech section? With more and more people converting to freecoaster hubs by the day we though that shedding a bit of light on some of the more popular options would be a great place to start... Alex Kennedy is one of the new wave of riders taking freecoasting to a whole new level. To put it simply, a freecoaster hub allows the rider to roll backwards without the drive- train engaging and making the pedals spin backwards with the wheel. Evolved from traditional coaster brake hubs, early freecoaster designs were basically coaster brake hubs with the brake pads removed. However bearing load issues, inconsistent driver/clutch engagement and overall weight often deterred riders from experiencing the freedom of which a freecoaster hub can offer. Pigeon hol...

Rowan Perkins sent this through on our Facebook page . Not much info on this but there's a good mix of park footage and some fun looking ledge and rail setups. Could be a little more creative with the title though! Thanks Rowan.

Next  Diversity Quick Six is with Australian legend  Dave Dillewaard,  one of the first Aussie riders to make it big in America. Hit read more to learn some more about Dave... Image from Demolition .

This edit of QLD rider  Dylan Lewis is a few weeks old but I feel like it flew under the radar a little. Dylan shreds the absolute shit out of a bunch of parks around QLD with some airs that make Tom Dugan look like a pussy. If you haven't watched this make sure you do so. Right now. Doin it for Nightfall Bike Co.

A new feature we're starting on the site is the Diversity Quick Six were we ask your favourite riders six questions. First up is the Brisbane street assassin with the the magic pop, Mr Jack Elkins . Hit read more...

This would have to be my favourite Australian web video in a long time. Brisbane's sussest rail destroyer Anton Ayres holding it down for Division BMX Bikes  with a bunch of NBD peg tricks. Definitely check this out!

Primary Threads posted a bunch of raw clips of Ryan Lloyd that are a little dated and didn't make the cut for any other projects. As you all know though, Ryan is an incredible rider so these are still great.

Jack Birtles and his crew spend a hell of a lot of time on the road, and a good percentage of that is spent getting loose. That's not to say they don't ride a heap, too. This new mixtape, aptly entitled Blackout captures that perfectly. Plenty of good riding, but gratuitous amounts of party funness. There's also a feature up over on Focalpoint regarding the project.

A couple of ADL transition roasters took a trip to Melbourne to sample some of the newer delights. I can't get over how fun the St Kilda park looks. melbourne bowl trip from Dempsey bmx on Vimeo .

Ryan Lloyd hung out with his dude Ryan Knight for a day, and pieced together this sweet video, encapsulating a day in the life of Ryan Knight. If the video is anything to go by, Ryan is a dude who lives life with an emphasis on fun!

I've known Kristopher Humphries for a fair while now, and not only is he a brilliant photographer and a great rider, he's passionate about his scene, and BMX as a whole. He's had a bunch of work published recently, so I hit him up with a few questions; click through to see what he has to say.

Kieran Gould lays down some real sleek lines on some fun looking spots in this short video by Jayme Timms.

Damn, this took me by surprise. Young buck Leeton Kleingeld doing some serious technical riding in this 45 second clip for Colony. A few things set this apart from your regular tech park video; hit play and I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about.

Rockhampton homie Nicko Smithson has been killing forever, and this new video for Ride On shows that nothings changed. Dude is definitely big on the roast game, as well as mixing it up with a few smooth icepick combos. This is edited to Sabbath, as if you needed any more reason to watch it.
