It looks like Joe Battaglia has joined the Standard Bykes Army! Here’s a photo of him getting his first frame from Rick Moliterno to bring the news. Expect plenty more from both Joe and Standard in the future.
Jay Dalton – Riding BMX Jumps Underground
Jay Dalton dropped this new BMX video on his Youtube channel from a trip he took to Kentucky to ride the Mega Cavern park, followed up by a skatepark session. Based off this video, we kind of get the vibe that Jay wasn’t as impressed with the place as his expectations lead him to believe. Either way, he got a few laps in and it looks like they had a decent time at the skatepark they hit up after as well.
“Ricky and I made our way over to the Mega Caverns in Kentucky after the Kitchen sessions. The trails were sort of sub-par, but it was still a cool experience riding bicycles underneath a Walmart. There aren’t many clips of Ricky in here because his bike didn’t like the dirt. Sowwee.”
Daniel Sandoval Off Vans
It looks like Vans and Daniel Sandoval have parted ways. Not sure as to what lead to that decision, but based off Daniel’s post on Instagram is sounds like he might just have a new opportunity on the horizon. If he doesn’t we don’t doubt that it won’t be long before he gets a few offers. Daniel is an absolute shredder and 2016 will be a busy one between contests like the X-Games, traveling and filming.
“I am officially no longer riding for @vansbmx66. Thank you guys for everything & thanks @vansjerry. It’s been an awesome last 7 years. As one door closes another one opens. I’m excited to see what the future holds for me.” – @Daniel_SandovalBMX

Due for a new BMX Seat? Here’s a little sneak peek at the new Tripod seat that Proper Bike Co. are working with their team rider Josh James AKA Boqer123 that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Proper in about two weeks. It sounds like the seat will be available in two colors (no word on the 2nd) and it appears to be a leather seat with a stitched “BQR” logo and stitched side tag. All in all, it looks like a real clean seat to us.
