Dario Mix

This is a web-edit from Dario, from TCU. Gets good towards the end!

Apparently, if KHE Reverse bearings don't want to come out of your hub, they pretty much won't until you break out The Enforcer.

Big Daddy has gone up in my books even more by calling Garrett Reynolds a "Stinking jew". Good comedy. If you click down in their videos, you can also check out all their trip webvids. There's some good stuff in there...

Lastly, Simple have got some new stuff coming out.



Click here to see it. Simple's stuff is always pretty popular, and with good reason, so expect to see a lot of these parts all over the place in a few weeks/months...

32 minutes old.

So pretty new, really.

Sometimes I wonder why some people run freecoasters, but that point aside, this is a sweet vid.

Actually, the other point I wanted to make was that I'm pretty sure there are, at the present moment, more head-bands in use in BMX than pegs.

At a guess,

I'd say that this pleased Netley.

Nope, I don't know why it did that post below either. C'est la vie!

My trip is now over, I've just driven 400 miles in 7 hours (Including Red Bull and coffee stops, and the accompanying "I really need a toilet" stops), and regular updates should be starting again soon. AAAAAAAAAnyway, on with the show:

Seeing as there are quite a few park dudes who read this:


Channel 4Down BMX :: Drew Bezanson Rampworx Session from Channel 4Down on Vimeo.

Pretty. Frickin'. Sweet.

In video-related and "frickin' sweet" related news, my brother Dan informs me the 2x4 video is really good. May have to invest in a copy there!

In... well... un-related news, Chase Hawk has a bikecheck up on Odyssey, in the sense that there are pictures of his bike there:

For any of you people out there who are wielding cameras, if you're looking for inspiration, pretty-damn-awesome Austin, TX photographer Devon Hutchins has a bunch of new photos on his new site.

Laaaaastly, if you're bored, the SPRFLS Friday Quiz is up - I'd just like to draw attention to how ridiculously awesome that WTP complete is.

[Insert Generic Mark Quote e.g.: "But really, who cares? If they're on someone else's bike, apart from taking up more room on the deck of a ramp/boot of a car/bikerack, who actually cares?"]

Me me me me me.

My Federal/KHE coaster broke, so it's back to cassettes for a while. Dammit.

So yeah...

...potentially some of the worst signature model shoes made have now been 'updated', but unless the sole is one of the 'updated' parts, what's the point? Seriously. (Edit: Just saw on Defgrip that the soles are apparently 'twice as hard so they should last twice as long'. That'll be 20 rides before they're totally worn out then...)

In a similar vein, unless Tree have managed to make straight-pull spokes that aren't a total hassle to build/true/tighten, then this hub's semi-redundant even if it looks nice:



Click here for looooooads more pics/info/specs. As a quick note to Carlos - you can only lace these 5 cross according to their site. Have fun ;-)

Quick update.

In the midst of a rain-soaked, largely driving-based 'riding' roadtrip. So far the only thing that's been consistent every day are that Lloyd and Taliban have swum in the sea or a river every day of the trip. Oh, and I've also driven at least 100 miles every day. We've ridden once or twice. *sigh*

Anyway, yeah, quick news updates:

New WTP completes, these are going to be everywhere.

Horse Faced Killah won the X-Games Street comp, Van Homan got second and Sean Sexton got third. Ride had a sweet vid up of it. Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! They also have a SRS BIZNIZ edit of Nathan Williams and Shane Weston.

Orchid have a preview up of the new Vandever shoe. Not bad, not bad.

So yeah, time to go buy some food and spray my bike...
