Product: TSG – VEP Pads
Sure, the chest protector really isn’t what you need unless you are blasting the Mega Ramp, but these new knee and shin pads from TSG look pretty dialed. Here’s a little info on this new VEP line they sent through…
“TSG INTRODUCES VEP
Swiss action sports protection brand TSG uses new visco-elastic material for bike soft protectors
Soft is the new hard; however, just jumping on the bandwagon would have been too easy for TSG. Instead, the Swiss protection gear brand aimed at combining the benefits of soft materials with the ones of hard materials. TSGs brand new VEP line offers a super accurate fit with supreme wearing comfort, outstanding damping capabilities and great flexibility, while providing reliable protection against penetrating objects.
TSG uses the new VEP material for its knee and elbow soft protectors of the current spring 2012 collection. Profiting from the new material technology are the Nose Dive Timo, 2nd Skins, Kneeguard Task, Kneeguard Slim, and Frag Shirt Advanced.
Soft and pre-shaped 3D protection pads adapt to the wearers body features and anatomy through body heat, and they dont slip either. This is achieved through TSGs famous horseshoe shape, which entirely wraps the upper elbows and knees.”

Chad Kerley’s Vitaminwater Invitational – The Riders
Ride BMX dropped this new video of Chad Kerley explaining how he chose the riders that he picked for the Vitaminwater Invitational going down in just under two weeks. It sounds like it’s going to get pretty nuts since there are a few more riders announced in this I had no idea were coming. Stoked.
I’ll be there shooting some photos and hanging out so expect a gallery from this and don’t forget to watch it the day of LIVE.
Pat Casey Leaves Volume For Haro
To be honest, I always saw Pat Casey as being a real good fit for Haro, so I guess I’m not all the surprised by this change. Should open a lot of opportunities for Pat up as well. Here’s a few words from Volume and Haro…
“I’m always sad to see a rider leave us but also glad that they are able to further their careers with the bigger brands out there. Ever since I met Pat, I always thought he was an extraordinary bike rider and sooner or later a bigger brand would be offering him up something big. That day has come and everyone here at Volume can’t say enough good things about Pat and his family throughout the years he rode for us. Big things are sure to come for Pat and we all can’t wait to see him ripping up the contest circuit for years to come.
Regarding the Mystery Machine: We plan on continuing with the frame and it’ll now just be Stevie’s frame w/ his sticker on them. We have a batch coming in soon with a couple new colors picked out by Stevie. – Brian Castillo / Volume
“The idea of adding an individual like Pat to our team has been floating around for some time,” said Joe Hawk, Haro’s COO. “A lot of attention has been paid to building and maintaining the right balance of talent and chemistry for Team Haro in the recent years and Pat was chosen because he has the ability to contribute to our efforts on both levels”.
Colin Mackay, Haro team rider and Team Manager agrees; “I’ve been watching Pat kill it at contests for the past couple of years. He has proven to be influential already in the game reinventing the 360 tail whip and recently landing the first double decade. Aside from the big moves, Pat is a genuine kid who is just happy to be riding his bike and is a welcome addition to the Haro Bikes family”.
Ryan Nyquist-Haro team rider for more than 14 years added, “I think it’s awesome! Pat is a young rider who is crushing it right now, and really pushing the progression of ramp riding. I think he’ll fit in nicely with the rest of the Haro family, and I can’t wait to go on some trips with him and get to know him better”.
Pat, who turned Pro in 2010 and earned the Ballpark Rookie of the Year honors during the Dew Action Sports Tour in 2011 shares his appreciation for his past bike sponsor and his enthusiasm for his future on Haro.
“First I’d like to send out a major thanks to Brian Castillo and everyone over at Volume. I’ve been with them for over 3 years and they were one of the first companies to give me a chance and for that I am extremely thankful-thanks Brian for everything!” Said Casey.
“As for my future, being a part of the Haro Team is a dream come true. I am super stoked to be invited onto the team, a team that’s amazing and I look forward to riding with everyone on it. Thanks for the opportunity, its going to be sick!!!” added Pat.
We welcome Pat as he begins his Haro career at XFest in the UK later this week. Stay tuned for more.” – Haro
