Focalpoint – “Alive & Well” Split Section

August 16, 2017

It’s time for another section from the Focalpoint “Alive & Well” DVD for your viewing pleasure. This time around we get the split section featuring James Pease, Marius Dietsche and Cooper Brownlee (who pulled double duty filming and editing the whole DVD) putting in work on the streets. All three of these guys put their pegs to heavy use on everything they touched, so hit that play button and take it all in!

“The Three way split of James Pease (who won the Melbourne Street Series), Cooper Brownlee and Marius Dietsche. The three guys hold their own with James giving you some raw street style, Cooper with some classic ledge combo’s and Marius does some of the biggest backwards grinds you probably seen.” – DIG

Fit Bike Co. – Beige Hornet Hartbreaker Frame

August 16, 2017

The Hartbreaker frame has a fresh coat of paint!

The crew over at Fit Bike Co. have just released Chris Harti‘s signature Hartbreaker frame in this new “Beige Hornet” colorway that turned out real good. This tan color has always had a soft spot in our heart since the days of Gary Young’s signature Dirt Bro’s frame that came in a similar color years ago.

The Hartbreaker frame is trails riders dream. This full 4130 chromoly frame has a 74.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.35″ bottom bracket height, 9.15″ standover height and a 13.8″ – 14.5″ chainstay length. You can find an integrated head tube with an engraved Fit Key Logo, gussets on the top and down tubes, a butted Supertherm top tube, a straight gauge Supertherm down tube, double butted seat tube, slightly tapered seat stays and slightly tapered single bend chainstays with clearance for 2.40″ tires, welded on chain stay brake mounts with welded on guides and cable routing through the seat tube and longer dropouts for more adjustability.

There is an engraved Key logo on the integrated head tube that looks real good.

The frame features top and down tube gussets with Fit logos for extra strength, a Supertherm Butted top tube for weight reduction and a Supertherm Straight gauge down tube to resist denting.

The frame has welded on cable guides and cable routing that goes straight through the seat tube to give you a direct route to the brakes for improved braking.

The Hartbreaker frame comes in 21″, 21.125″, 21.25″ and 21.50″ top tube lengths. The frame is made right here in the U.S.A with a price tag of $369.99! If you aren’t feeling the Beige Hornet, the frame is also available in Clear Raw, Matte Black and Translucent Black color options. You can view photos of the other colors on the Fit Bike Co. Website.

Krusty Klips From Krusty Krew

August 16, 2017

Here’s a video Curtis Cantwell sent through featuring the Krusty Krew going to work on street spots. The riding is solid, the film work is rough around the edges and there’s plenty of laughs in this one. Overall, it’s worth a peek. Check it out!

“Remember that time there was a Krusty Krew edit? Here are old clips from that video, and others, re-edited to spongebob music and my lovely accordion skills. You’re gonna like this video, or your money back guaranteed!” – Krusty Krew

Skate Bike vs. Skatepark Security

August 15, 2017

This is brilliant. Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy and Cory Berglar decided to see if they could ride a skatepark that doesn’t allow bikes with the Bicycle Skateboard without getting kicked out. Technically it’s a bike, but the way it’s setup it rides the same way a skateboard would on rails and ledges. Hit that play button to see what went down on the setup before security showed up… Do they allow it or did they get the boot? Hit play to find out!

“Skate bike is back, it is a very weird contraption made by a very weird individual! That being said it is technically a skateboard with handle bars. So we decided to see if we could get it to pass as a skateboard. Long Branch skatepark is a park that we always get kicked out of. So we put the bike board to the test! Find out wether big boys invention gets shot down or is a success!” – Scotty Cranmer

For the final stop of the Vans BMX Pro Cup, Jason Watts dialed in a fresh new Haro Sport setup decked out with Haro and Shadow Conspiracy parts! Below you can check out a video where Jason gives you a run through his setup, along with a few riding clips! Check it!

“Everything about Jason Watts is wild and his bike matches his life. Though he wasn’t even alive at the time the original Haro Sport hit the market, he’s taken this brand new Lineage version and made it his own. Watch him run through his setup and put it to work!” – Vital BMX

Common Crew – Chris Eiland 2017 Video

August 15, 2017

It’s always rad seeing the guys who are primarily behind the scenes shooting photos and filming put out a full edit. The Common Crew just dropped this new one featuring photographer Chris Eiland going to work on his bike and skatepark on southern California street spots. It’s safe to say Chris crushes it on both sides of the lens after watching this one. Hit play and enjoy!

“Chris Eiland is usually behind the lens handling most of the Common Crew photo work. He’s got us in multiple magazines and even created our own book ( thecommondays vol.1 ) based around Monster Mash. Today however, Chris proves he can handle himself extremely well in front of the lens. I can’t think of another photographer ever slaying the crank-hard game so well.
