Here’s some news we didn’t see coming. It looks like Kevin Kalkoff has decided to part ways with Subrosa and The Shadow Conspiracy and is now riding for Federal Bikes! No word on what sprung the decision, but Kevin mentioned on Instagram that he’s happy to be riding for Federal, so that’s good. We will be interested to see if Kevin will be able to start filming for the new “FTS” video the Federal team have been working on for a little over a year or so now, in time to get something together for the final video. Either way, Kevin shreds so we’re excited to see what this new opportunity brings for him.
Sneak Peek: The Shadow Conspiracy – Matt Ray Signature VVS Stem
Here’s a little sneak peek The Shadow Conspiracy released giving you a closer look at the new Matt Ray signature VVS Stem that will be dropping in Marh! Not much for details on this front load stem, but based on the photo it looks like it appears to be cast with some additional machining with the Shadow crow logo on the front plate, a BBS logo up top, a recessed top for a flush fork cap and a rounded back for the knees. This is also a sneak peek look at what appears to be a new Copper color that they will be releasing as well.
We’ll keep you posted once we get the full specs, details and more when it drops in March!
Scotty Cranmer – Back On The Bike Again Street Mission
It’s always a good day when Scotty Cranmer gets back on the bike! Here’s a fresh video from a street session that Scotty, Trey Jones and Big Boy got in. They hit up a few spots, get kicked out and take a few spills, and Scotty gets some time on his bike, too! Overall it looks like it was a solid session. Take a look!
“A beautiful day in Florida so we took the BMX bikes to go ride some street and find some spots to get some tricks on! We got kicked out of the first spot by an aggressive guy and Big Boy fell on a 180 at the second spot. Trey almost fell into a confirmed alligator dwelling river at spot number three and I jumped a ramp at the final spot, it was a good day!” – Scotty Cranmer
Lip Lords BMX Jam 2018 – Part One
Last summer Brant Moore and Sponge threw a jam at the park they’ve been filming all of the Lip Lords videos at to get a ton of riders together for a day filled with riding and good times. We’re not quite sure why the footage took this long to get online, but we’re stoked to see it. Here’s part one giving you a look at the riding that went down from a ton of different riders!
“The first ever Lip Lords Jam went down in 2018 and was an absolutely amazing day. There was so much footage from this jam that I thought splitting it into parts would be best.
Let us know what you think and if you’re excited for the upcoming parts!” – Brant Moore
Sunday Bikes – Trent Lutzke Welcome to Flow
Here’s some news for you! Sunday Bikes have added Trent Lutzke to their Flow team, and here’s a video filled with some great riding to bring the news. Trent has been on it for the past few years now and it’s safe to say this is a deserved one that we could see turn into more down the road. Until then, enjoy grind after grind of pure goodness!
Don’t forget to check out his section in the The Daily Grind “ReRouting” DVD that popped up online yesterday.
“Welcome Trent Lutzke to Sunday! I haven’t met Trent, but based on his welcome video he is full send and high energy. Trent hails from Michigan’s upper peninsula, where he knows all the gnarly spots and ain’t skeered to use them to their maximum potential. Trent’s first bike was a Sunday, and we’re hyped he’s back on board and all looking forward to watching him send it in person…” – Sunday Bikes
