Banks Hovey – More than 110s

Steve Sommerfeld — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 12:58:00 +0000

This week we’ve got one of the top 110 riders in the world with us right now, but don’t go sticking him in that box. This dude is talented on anything with 2 or 4 wheels and has an engine. Keeping it old school and preferring it to be a 2 stroke!

From Motocross to Supercross, Rally, Side by Sides, 110s, BMX or whatever he can get his hands on, Banks Hovey appears to be part of the next generation of riders hellbent on having fun above all else and it shows in every video I’ve watched.

I love watching his no stuffing around approach to rolling in and just hitting any jump put in front of him.

If you haven’t heard of him yet, well you must not have been listening to any of the last 12 months of podcasts, but he’s cut his teeth riding 110s on the big stage of X Games and ended up with the Silver Medal at this years event at Axell Hodges’ house, and only beaten to the top spot by Axell himself. But very quickly we’ve seen him riding some of the biggest events like Nitro Circus Live Tours and watching him smash the Next Gen ramp or Moon Booter. Ramps that aren’t to be sneezed at. And then you get an impression of how fast he’s coming along on his progress in FMX. But like I said, there’s no Box you can put Banks in, he’s just taking on everything and having fun along the way.

Last minute invite to X Games 110’s for Banks Hovey and TSA took his moto parts! 😣

Steve Sommerfeld — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:36:46 +0000

Imagine if you receive an invite to ride at the biggest event of the year.

Even if it’s only 2 days before the event, you do everything you can to pack your parts and gear, book a flight, find some wheels at your destination and somewhere to sleep.

Jump on the plane and get to the other side, just in time to find TSA has taken all of your parts out of the bag and left you a nice little note without even a ‘Sorry’ (I’m guessing).

Banks Hovey gave us a little insight into the 110s event that he was lucky enough to ride, and despite TSA being pains in the ass… he was able to get a bike up and running and threw down his run against some of the biggest names in the Moto industry and had a whole bunch of fun along the way.

Was cool to get his thoughts on the 110s discipline, the format which could change in the future, the cross over with Pat Casey from BMX jumping in and how Tyler Bereman put his name in the hat to even get the call in the first place!

X Games 2021 110s : Review 4/6

Steve Sommerfeld — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 18:13:00 +0000

X Games unveiled an all new moto discipline this year with the 110’s or Mini Bikes, or Pit bikes.. or whatever you want to call them!

I thought it would have been pit-bike racing but it turned out to be a full freestyle run and Axell Hodges took the win on his home turf over a field of some big name Moto and BMX riders.

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t really know what to expect and… I thought it was going to get some pretty harsh reviews. But you’ll have to listen in to this episode to find out what everyone thought.

Actually we have a very special guest for this episode, one of the riders who competed in the very first 110s event at X Games with a late notice invite, Banks Hovey! Banks was pumped on the invite, but he had huge problems with trying to fly from the East to West coast of the US to even ride his bike and some issues with TSA. And he’ll go in-depth on the whole course and judging as well.

Also joining to talk about what went down are some regulars now: Antonio Navas, Javier Villegas, Andy Christie, FMX Grizz and Dani_FMX.

(correction, Javier’s episode was this year… it has felt like a long time due to Covid haha)
