“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

Scotty Cranmer decided it was time for the guys to learn how to play the Tranny Ball game…

If you’re a fan of all the games Scotty Cranmer has the guys play on the channel, you are in for a treat because he decided to pull out a new one called Tranny Ball that mixes dodgeball, tag and riding all into one game. This is an interesting one and it actually looks like a pretty good time. Take a look at what went down and who took the win!

“Back in the day I used to play a game called tranny ball, a lot of you may know it as spud which is a game I’m sure a lot of us played when we were younger. It’s a mix of dodgeball and tag but there is a twist on our game when you get out you have to do a trick that the crew picks for you!” – Scotty Cranmer

Hit play and take in plenty of style from both of these guys. Amazing riding, location and film work in this BMX video!

“ The search for pure flow for a BMXer is never-ending, as is the hunt for new locations and zones to ride. That search to find something new took BMX pros Sergio Layos and Arif Gül to the agricultural heartlands of Rize province in the eastern part of Turkey, an area known for its tea production. Watch Layos and Gül blend into their leafy surroundings with a dirt-jumping masterclass in the video above.” – Red Bull
