Did You Know Santa Claus Rides BMX?

November 16, 2017

It looks like all the laps that Santa Claus has been getting in during the offseason has paid off!

Did you know Santa Claus rides BMX? Well, it looks like he’s been taking it pretty serious this past year because he’s really cut the pounds off big time! The Back Bone BMX crew caught up with Santa during one of his last sessions down in Australia before he had to head back up to the North Pole to get ready for the Holidays. Check out what he cooked up for clips as he flowed through the lines! It’s safe to say he can shred more than a sleigh with reindeer.

Also, just incase you didn’t know… Santa Claus also rides ramps, too!

“BMX is too fun, even Santa is in on the action this Christmas. For BMX gift ideas head to:

John Buultjens “Ride: BMX Glory, Against All the Odds” Book Out Now

November 16, 2017

The book telling the story of Haro Brand manager, John Buultjens, has just been released as a book, ahead of the full-length feature film…

Anyone who has spent some time with John Buultjens knows he has one hell of a story and it’s an absolutely incredible one. What you might not know about the Haro Bikes Brand Manager is that he had a hell of a life growing up, leading him down the path to where he is today. There’s a full on movie about his story coming, but they just released the book to tell the story as well and it’s available NOW! Get the details below.

“Ride lays bare the harrowing beginnings and the tough life lessons learned by John Buultjens on his rise to BMX Glory, Against All the Odds. Raised by his poor family on Glasgow’s Drumchapel estate, he slept rough to escape his violent father’s beatings. Placed in a children’s home by his mother, he was then adopted by a bi-racial couple. After conquering his own racism, his life turned around, and the blockbuster movie E.T. inspired a love of BMX. Although spurred by bitterness, John’s emigration to Australia saw him take his sporting enthusiasm to new levels. Then came the call from California to lead Haro BMX. As their global brand manager, he now backs and sponsors riders across the globe. Hollywood has since turned his unbelievable journey into a movie, set for release in March 2018. Here, John reveals inner secrets including family murders, hatred, sexual abuse – and how his white-knuckle ride has taken him to the top against all the odds.”

The book is available now for $19.99 right here!

Kelly Green

White

Polar Pop Blue

Livid Purple

“The pedal is a key contact point between you and your bike, so we made the new Shadow Surface Pedal with performance and function in mind. We started with a wider and longer, slim platform. The wide 105mm x100mm platform is specifically shaped to be thin and stiff while still offering an overall concave shape. We added advanced micro knurling and 12 pins per side for a maximum grip that still allows foot adjustments mid-shred. Made with the same proven nylon composite material as the Ravager pedal, with a heat treated chromoly axle that includes a 6mm broach for ease of installation and high end looks.” – The Shadow Conspiracy
