DJ Using A BMX Bike With Turntable Rider

This hybrid machine turns a BMX into a musical instrument.

If you’re a fan of BMXing and DJing and you’re tortured because you have no way to combine these two activities into one, then look no further than the Turntable Rider, created by Japanese company COGOO.

The company have reformatted a DJ’s essential toolkit into different components of a BMX, so the wheels becomes jog wheels, the brake pad becomes a sound pad, and an installed gyroscopic motion sensor doubles as the fader pad. The music is fed wirelessly into the setup via an iPhone or iPod.

So now your bunny hops become a musical performance. But, if you’re as crap at BMXing as I am, then you’ll no doubt become a hate figure in your local neighbourhood. Check out making of video below.
