Gabe Brooks has a real good interview up on the Ride BMX site. Most importantly he talks a lot about how he turned his life around to what it is today. Go take a peek.
Pierre Blondel Bike Check
Head over to The Merged to check out a bike check with Superstar‘s Team Manager, Pierre Blondel. There’s also some extra questions in there and one answer I 100% agree with…
“What direction are BMX prouducts going? What is the future?
Trends are always changing. In recent years many brands went into too light stuff, really short rear ends, higher bars, low seat tube etc. It has already started to take over most bikes but I think that brands will all come back to “normal” bikes. I mean we don’t need to have a frame which weights 1,8kg (4lbs), 10″ bars seems a bit big, lower seat tubes a definitely too low. This is my opinion, but I think that we will find the good balance between what we had 3 or 4 years ago and what we will have in 2 or 3 years.”
Get to The Merged and check it out now.
Sneak Peek: The Set – Filming Handle
I’m surprised more companies haven’t tried to get in on the filming handle game in BMX. There’s some competition now between Chris Zeppeiri’s “Z-Handle”, Navaz’s handle he’s working on and now this one from The Set.
Freegun -Sebastian Smith Edit
I’m not sure what the hell is going on in this video with that clip stuttering over and over again, but if you can get past that there’s some solid footage of Sebastian Smith at Woodward for Freegun.
Filmed/Edited by Noa Carone
Bonus points for using a song with my future ex-wife, Ellie Goulding. So hot.
