Total BMX Signs Colton Walker! Our Longest Keyholder Ever at The Factory 24 Hour BMX Training Facility – The Future of BMX

Talk about a dream come true! Colton Walker has just signed for 2016 with Total BMX Bike Co, one of the biggest and most cutting edge BMX companies in the world.

Colton was the super young little kid that everyone watched grow up riding in the Minnesota BMX Scene, and when we decided that we needed our own indoor bike-only riding facility, 12 year old Colton and his father Chad were one of the first to wait in line for their 24/7 access keyholder membership.

Since day one, Colton started jumping into our brand new foam pit and padded resi ramp learning many tricks with the local pros… Just like many of you new youngsters that have been coming out to The Factory these past few years! We built nearly every possible type of ramp and training piece we could think of, box to foam, quarter pipes both directions to foam, box to resi, even quarter to resi both directions as well. Perfect for learning virtually any possible, or even impossible box jump or quarter pipe trick you could ever imagine…

Not only did Colton start learning many of the worlds biggest tricks, he also invented many “world-first” tricks that no one else has ever done… Two of which include the Twix to Barspin, and also the Twix to Tailwhip. 5 solid years of daily training with his 24/7 keyholder membership has certainly paid itself off!

The level of skill and talent that Colton has is seriously pushing BMX further than it ever has, which fits in perfectly with a spot for a new rider on the Total BMX team. From all of us here home at The Factory, huge congrats Colton Walker we look forward to watching you continue to change The Future of BMX!

TCFF Pro Rider Colton Walker and Brett “Maddog” Banasiewicz at Dew Tour – Ocean City, Maryland

15 year old shredder Colton Walker finished first in Free Flow Qualifiers contest last month in Milwaukee, and after a weekend of riding with Brett Banasiewicz “Maddog” at his skatepark in Indiana called “The Kitchen”, they both headed to Dew Tour this weekend in Ocean City for the finals !

Colton finished 9th in the Free Flow finals after taking a slam & only completing ONE run. Other competitors said if Colton would have had another solid run he would have had a good chance of placing top 3 !!

This is the second time we have had a member from TCFF in the Dew Tour Free Flow finals, back in 2007 Dustin Grice placed 2nd in Orlando, FL. Lots of local talent right here in Minnesota. Our facility is helping keep them on top, and you are always welcome to come ride with us…

Then there was Brett… If you have not heard about Brett, you have now. At 17 years old, Brett Banasiewicz (aka “Maddog”) is arguably the best BMX rider in the world. This weekend Brett place 1st in the Dew Tour Pro Park finals. Pretty cool to see him riding with some of our members too !!

Big congrats to Colton Walker this weekend, look forward to seeing him back next year !!

Mega Jump Show at Eagle Brook Church, Ground Zero Fall Retreat, White Bear Lake, Minnesota

We can’t even tell you how exciting this show was, a total of 570 kids screaming at the top of their lungs… This was a very special day, not only because every Mega Jump show is a special day, but because it was our member Tristan’s 15th birthday! Lots of Tristan’s family was in town for this show and they took some great video ! We can also do night shows now !! Our main show of the night was HUGE, everyone blasting the Mega Jump doing 360’s, tailwhips, field goal backflips, a frontflip, and Glenn even end it all with his signature 360 backflip. This is a trick that VERY FEW people in the world can do, and you just saw it right here in White Bear Lake, MN. The autograph lines were HUGE afterwards, special thanks to every single kid out there, all of the supporting parents, and especially, Eagle Brook Church.
