Roy Van Kempen Bike Check

March 4, 2013

Roy Van Kempen BMX

It was announced the other day that Roy Van Kempen had parted ways with his long time sponsor, United. I had a feeling that a rider like Roy would have a new opportunity lined up when an announcement like that is made, so I decided to hit him up to see if he was working on a new bike. It turned out that he did have a new opportunity and that would be Federal Bikes. We figured since he was building up a brand new bike that it would be a good time to get the first look at that dialed new ride. Check out this full bike check along with a few bonus questions to see what’s new and what 2013 has in store for Roy!

The other week when Nick DiGeroloma sent through his latest edit from a trip he made back to his home state of Ohio, we got talking about what else was new with him. He mentioned that he was about to build up a brand new bike for the first time in a long time. There’s nothing better than a fresh bike, so I figured we better get to work on a bike check. Now you get to start your week off with a look at one real dialed ride along with some rad riding photos he put in some work for to go with this! Let’s take a closer look!

Interview and Intro by Jeremy Ball

Glenn Salyers is a unique individual. Glenn is polite, hard working, and innovative in everything he does. He is a talented machinist and ramp builder. His handy work with ramps can be seen at “The Kitchen Skatepark.” Aside form those abilities, Glenn is also one of the most talented riders in the Midwest. His mix of styles between both technical and burly puts him at a level of talent that many have the ambition of reaching, but few riders will ever attain. The best way to describe Glenn doesn’t come from the words above though. It comes from Mark Filipowicz, Redline Team Manager. In asking Flip about one of Redline’s newest riders, his response was simple, “What can’t be said about that weirdo?”
Moving on from Glenn’s personality and abilities, his bike is what really helps define him. Continue reading to see what bike set-up allows him to “monster truck” any terrain put in front of him.

Bink Seavey Bike Check

October 2, 2012

I’ve probably known Bink for nearly 10 years now. In that time, I’ve watched his riding style evolve from a racing influenced ramp rider who had tailwhips and girl pants on lock to the freecoasting street machine he has become today. With time, his setup has changed as well. I was talking to him the other day and we decided it would be a good time to check out his current unit that’s decked out with Tree Bicycle Co. parts and find out what’s new with him. Let’s take a look at his bike and find out what he had to say…
