Issue 4 of Figure BMX Magazine is now online for your viewing pleasure. This magazine is in French, but even if you can’t read it like me, the photos are dialed and definitely worth a look through. Take a peek!
Ryan Guettler Ruptures Spleen
Photo: Colony
Last night, Ryan Guettler had a nasty crash and was sent to the E.R with a ruptured spleen and lacerated kidney. They had to do an emergency surgery to remove his spleen and he’s currently in recovery. Based on the different Tweets and Instagram photos that have been popping up all morning, Ryan is recovering from the surgery and everything went as well as it could have. Please keep Ryan in your thoughts! We wish him the best and know we can’t wait to see him back on his bike in no time!
Crux Division Team Mix
Jacob Hope put together this rad new mix featuring pretty much the entire Crux Division team. Check out riding from each of these guys getting down on their local spots all around the U.S. I’m really stoked on this style of video lately since it gives the video a super diverse feel. Definitely worth a watch!
Sneak Peek: Macneil X Northern Embassy Pivotal Seats
It looks like the guys at the Northern Embassy have teamed up with Macneil for a limited edition pivotal seat. No details other than that these will be available this summer. It looks like it will come in two versions; fat and slim with colors of leather and black kevlar. Expect more info closer to the release.
Product: Federal – Love and Hate Stems
Head over to The Merged to get the low down on the new Mark Love signature “Love” topload stem and the new Hate front load stem from Federal. Clean and simple. I like it.
Vital’s Best of March 2013
Best Of March 2013 – More BMX Videos
There’s a lot of videos that pop up every single day. It’s easy to forget about some damn good clips or videos that popped up. Here’s a little recap from the originals that Vital dropped this past month.
“Based on how many badass videos we release, I recently decided it makes sense to compile all of the bangers into one highlight video at the end of the month. This is about a week late, but expect to see these compilations at the end of every month. Enjoy!
The following are the videos that originally featured these clips –

Graveyard Trails 2013 Jam
Now this is what I call a good time! Dialed trails, real good riding and good times. Take a look!
“On March 31, 2013, the locals at the Graveyard Trails in San Antonio hosted their annual Jam coined “April Fools Jam.” Red Bull came out to the event and companies such as S&M, Fit, and S-One Helmets contributed prizes for high-jump and best-trick. I was on hand to ride bikes and capture the event with my friends using a Panasonic GH2 and a GoPro.

Video Recap: 4/1 – 4/7
One of the craziest parts about doing this Video Recap every week just occurred to me. Every week we pull out all of these incredible videos that appear in the Daily Section that feature some amazing riding and great film work. What I didn’t really think about is all of the different countries that these videos come from. This week we’ve got videos with riding from the Ukraine, the U.K, Australia, Argentina, Estonia, France, Brazil, Poland, Canada, Russia and the U.S. which is pretty amazing if you think about it. Check out riding from Russ Barone, Adam Kun, Matthias Dandois, Chad Kerley, Jared Carter, Aaron Ross, Tom Dugan, Kevin Porter, Zac Miner, Matt Beringer, Matthias Dandois and many, many more! Let’s get into this!
