Subrosa – OM Fork

June 22, 2018

Get a look at the new Joris Coulomb signature OM Fork from Subrosa!

Is it time for a new BMX Fork? Here’s a look at the new Joris Coulomb signature OM Fork! This fork is made from 100% post-weld Deathproof heat-treated 4130 chromoly tubing with a 1-piece CNC machined steerer tube with a welded nut and compression cap, an increased fork leg radius for extra tire clearance, and 22mm offset dropouts. The OM Forks come in Black and Chrome with a weight of 32.3 oz. and can be picked up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Subrosa worldwide now, or from the SUBROSA WEBSTORE for $141.99 now.

“Building off the success of the Joris Coulomb signature Om frame we’ve added forks to complete the kit. To match the responsiveness of the Om frame these new forks utilize a steeper 22mm offset, are lightweight, and are fully heat treated.” – Subrosa

Chris Doyle – Feeble Talk

June 22, 2018

Chris Doyle sits down for the latest round of Feeble Talk…

It’s been a while since Ride BMX has done one of these Feeble Talk interviews, but they’ve decided to bring it back and kick it back off with the one and only Chris Doyle. This one is a wild one since Chris talks in-depth about going into Cardiac Arrest and almost dying, which gave everyone in BMX a scare. After that, he talks about a handful of other tops from favorite riders to the X Games and a bunch of questions from the Kink team! This is a real good listen and watch, so check it out! So stoked on this.

“Well, that “short break” we took was a bit excessive, eh?

It’s nice to have Feeble Talk back and we wanted to do something a bit special by inviting Chris Doyle. Plainly put, Chris is an amazing dude to have on the show in general, but his recent and ultra-scary brush with death makes having him in the studio extra special. When I approached Chris about flying in to film the show, he requested that Calvin Kosovich join him, as he played a key role in Chris being with us today.

This episode of Feeble Talk is obviously a heavy one, but I didn’t want to solely focus on Chris’ recent “incident.” After a few tears were shed, we moved onto the more typical stuff…

Thanks again to both Chris and Calvin for making the trek out and being so forthcoming about what went down on that faithful day in Albuquerque.

0:50 – Being on every episode of Feeble Talk

Fit Bike Co. – Tom Dugan Video Bike Check

June 22, 2018

Tom Dugan sits down to talk about his current setup!

The crew at Fit Bike Co. sat Tom Dugan at Empire to have Tom give us a proper run through on what he’s running for a setup these days! After he gives the run through, he blasts the Empire mini ramp! Hit play and take a look at this dialed rig!

“We don’t often worry about doing Bike Checks with Dugan… ’cause your main man is under contract to run everything but frame and bars wit dem Odyssey boys… but we just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know, that we gots the Dugan bar in two sizes – 8.75″ and 9.25″ A N D D D D D D D D that there’s a new DUGAN frame on the drawing board!

So… we’re taking this one to the streets, what sort of geo, colors et. al. would Dugan fans like to see in the next incarnation of this maniac’s frame? Sound off, and if we like your ideas, shit… we might just run downstairs to the machine shop and make you a frame when we run his sample (you know, ’cause that’s how we do it at Fit/S&M HQ). #mericanmade
