The photo above was just quick shot of the section that had all of the BMX stuff in it. Frostbike is about 1/15th the size of Interbike so it wasn’t completely overwhelming trying to check out everything. I actually made it around the whole place during a single phone call, so that’s about how small it is. However, the event is just for shop owners to get a chance to meet with the company owners and employees, and check out what’s going on at Quality. I was lucky to even get in.

So, lets get some photos going… Check out the photos and then I will explain what each company is up to, at least from what I can remember.

Jim is going to kill me for that first photo. I did the sneak a photo game on him. Sunday! had a booth set up showing off all of the usual gear. They really haven’t changed up too much since Interbike so you get the 22″, Model C, then the colorways of the bars, forks, and frames of course. The biggest news was that Jim got half of the trailer for the Sunday video today. Yes, half… I don’t know either. He said the video should be dropping in the next month though! That should be a killer video for sure. Other than that, and Jim doing aligator wrestlers on the 22″, it’s business as usual. Oh, if you didn’t know Minnesota’s Reed Stark, and Seth Peterson are on Sunday flow now too. They both were around today to hang out so that was cool. I’m working on getting Reed his interview after I post this article so get stoked to see that.

Nuno was enjoying going from the California sun to Minnesota’s fresh couple of inches of snow. Along with him came a few of the new Flatware products from Odyssey. If you look at the photos closely you can see the prototype flatware forks, plegs, and bars from that new line for Terry Adams. Chase Hawk will have some signature grips coming out also. Other than that, the other news was the G-Spokes finally should be that much closer to going into production and becoming available. I forgot to grab one of those posters from the Electronical team shot. That probably has to be one of my favorite photos of all time for some reason. I can’t say there was too much other big things going on outside of that.

Charlie was holding down the Profile booth today. Profile has been kicking a lot of ass lately getting together a bunch of colorways going for their products for sure. If I remember right they have 9 different colors available now. Not too bad option wise for somebody who is into having a bike that looks good. There should be a little special interview about Profile up sometime next week. It’s going to be good! Make sure you check back for that.

The Fly had a booth similar to the one they had at Interbike. The biggest changes were the Kevin Porter signature Tierra with the grande back end, some new colorways, and all that fun stuff. I didn’t actually get the chance to talk to anybody representing Fly. Since that happened, I don’t really have any special news about that for you.

Alienation had a few new products to show off today. They are now making tires, and offer the Skylark rim. The Skylark is a beefier version of the Deviant rim which was designed for racing. They also have a new version of the pivitol seat post in the works that will allow for forward and back adjustment. That will be interesting to see how that works out after they get a few prototypes together.

There was a few new things from UGP. Obviously, their clothing is all recent and pretty new. They also had a few new seats including the new more flatland specific models. It was cool to talk to Chad DeGroot for a while too, that guy always has a good story to hear.

I won’t lie, I really didn’t talk to anyone from Stolen. It seemed like everytime I walked by there was a Quality employee running it for them, similar to that of Jay who is in the photo above. It looked like basically all of their usual stuff. They had a Sunday all built up with their new parts kit. Basically, they got everything to build a complete and you pick the frame. That was pretty cool. I was still a little confused why they used the Sunday frame and not their own to show it off but what do I know?

So, that would be Frost bike for you. It was a real chill event that lead to finding out some fresh info for some of you. A big ups to Todd Johnson for getting me on the list so I could get in there today. Below is just a video of all the product, so if the photos didn’t do enough for you, check that thing out.

From Chris: Here’s the final rider list for my contest too. Catfish and Micah are MC’ing. Kevin Robinson, Mark Flipowitz and Jimmy Rathbun are guest judges. Kink video premier. Big afterparty with a band, Go Go dancers and lots and lots of beer. Should be a shitload of fun.
I’m gonna forward you the Red Bull artist renditions of 2 of the halloween oriented obstacles from my other email. This will be the 1st time anyone has seen them because i’ve kept it under wraps till now. Only change is that on the RIP wallride it has a giant quarter in the front instead of a wedge.
The coffin box in the 2nd pic is 4 feet tall, 22 feet long and 16 feet wide to put that into some perspective. The quarters are 8 feet wide on the top and bottom. On the sides the upper wedges are 8 feet wide and the lowers are 12 feet wide. 26 pieces total and 2 moving trucks to move that ramp alone. HOLY FUCK!!!!!
We’re trying to buy a Hearse to build off but everyone on craiglist is a dick and wants a ton for them.
Edit: I got another email from Chris and this is all it said “I just bought a Hearse”. How many times can you say that in your life?

Hope you can make it out.
