Mark Burnett Is No Longer Riding For Sunday Bikes

March 20, 2018

Mark Burnett has parted ways with the Sunday Bikes team…

Here’s some surprising news we did NOT see coming! Mark Burnett is no longer riding for Sunday Bikes! It sounds like Mark had a new opportunity come up that he decided to pursue, but ended things on a positive note with Sunday. Above is a quick farewell video Sunday put together and below you can find a few words from Sunday’s Team Manager, Walter Pieringer, and some words from Mark about the news!

–

“Sad news, Mark Burnett is moving on to new opportunities. Mark is one of the most talented and determined riders I’ve met, and it’s been a treat seeing him come into his own over the past five years and establish himself as a true force in modern-day BMX. Mark’s been a big part of Sunday for a long time, and we’re bummed to lose him but excited everyone will still get to watch him be just so ridiculously dialed over at his new spot, which he’ll be telling you about soon. Everybody at Sunday wishes Mark nothing but the best.” – Walter Pieringer, Sunday TM

–

“This hasn’t been an easy decision, but ultimately it was a move I have decided to make. As of today I will no longer be riding for @sundaybikes. This is absolutely not a move of hate, but a move of love. I want to personally thank @thejakeseeley and @walterpieringer as well as everybody else I have shared this experience with. It is the reason why I am who I am, why I’ve seen the things I’ve seen, and why I’ve been able to accomplish the things I have. With that said however, I couldn’t be more excited for the future. Every year is the best year of my life…” – Mark Burnett

Any guesses where you think Mark is going? I personally, 100% guessing right now, could see him rolling over to Subrosa since he’s already a part of The Shadow Conspiracy and it seems like they’ve been making some changes to their Pro team as of late, like the addition of Trey Jones, so that’s a possibility. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens!

Colony BMX – Camo Anodized Contour Rim

March 20, 2018

Colony BMX have released their new Camo Anodized Countour rim colorway…

Are you thinking about picking up a new set of BMX rims, but you want something that’ll stand out and is unique? The new Camo Anodized rims from Colony might just be what you are looking for. This double wall rim is made from 6000 series alloy with a welded joint, an engraved logo and weight saving holes inside the rim. . The 36-hole rim has an ERD of 388mm, weighs in at 1.16 lbs. (529 grams) and comes with a Colony rim strip. These Camo Anodized rims are geared toward brakeless riders because brakes can and will rub this anodization off the sidewalls. So, just know that you can’t warranty these if you rub off the color with brakes. If you aren’t feeling the color, but like the rim details, you can also find in it Black, Red, Blue, Purple, Polished, Chrome along with a few other special limited edition colors through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Colony worldwide now.

What do you think of that Camo Ano color? Are you feeling it or not so much? Let us know in the comments below!

The Search For Mt. Baldy

March 20, 2018

Johann Chan sent through a video from a trip to the legendary Baldy Loop he took with a few friends!

Over the years we’ve seen footage from Mt. Baldy and the Baldy Loop quite a few times. It’s one of those legendary spots that riders from all over the world have travelled to, and for obvious reasons. The trek to the spot is a bit tricky, but once you find the place, the session is not one that will be forgotten. Check out what Johann Chan, Chico Hooke and Alex Leech got into during their recent trip.

“After decades of seeing this legendary spot in Skate / BMX media, we never thought we would get to ride Mt Baldy.

When Alex Leech first mentioned an opportunity to visit MT baldy, I naively thought, ‘oh right that will be fun for like half an hour’, but of course I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Looking back now- we couldn’t have hoped for a more memorable travel adventure.

We made a short edit from our bits of phone footage and some of Chico’s Go Pro footage. Hope you enjoy it.
