Ride BMX- Top Ten Of 2016 – BMX Trends

Trends come and go, but trends will always exist. Here’s what we decided were the most popular trends of 2016…in no particular order, of course (otherwise vlogging would probably be #1).

 

10. Vlogging
Never saw this one coming, did you? Video logging has taken BMX by the masses. Scotty Cranmer, Austin Augie, Billy Perry, John Hicks, and Alfredo Mancuso all found relative success in 2016. Many more have jumped on the proverbial v-train with camera pointed selfward. While I admit that I struggle to see the entertainment value in long-form, mundane (in my opinion) videos, I also understand that I have a jaded view on the subject. Vlogs are for people/kids who want to live and breath BMX. They want cool friends who do cool things. They want to be extroverted, entertaining people themselves, so they’re enamored with a life different than their own. And that’s fine with me…it just ain’t for me. And I say that knowing that we’re going to kick off an “editor’s log” series here soon, but I promise to point the camera forward as much as possible…

 

9. EXTREME VIDEO TITLING
I figured we should just get the YouTube related ones over with off the bat. While EXTREME VIDEO TITLING goes hand in hand with vlogging, it’s most definitely not limited to it. INSANE. EPIC. NO FEAR. DEATH. BMX VS (insert anything here). I CAN’T BELIEVE IT. It’s not clickbait if you meant it…right?
