FloriDeah – Riding The New Skatepark

August 1, 2017

If you have been keeping up with the FloriDeah videos, you have seen a few looks at a skatepark Trey Jones and Jabe Jones have been helping to build called Swampwood Skatepark in Longwood, Florida. Here’s a video where Trey and Jabe get some time in riding what is built so far. It sounds like they have plans for a few more ramps before it opens and they have setup a GoFundMe page to help finish it up. Check out the video and the link to the fundraiser below!

Game of B-I-K-E: Big Boy VS Matty Cranmer

August 1, 2017

You can’t go wrong with a good old fashioned game of B-I-K-E! Big Boy and Matty Cranmer caught a session at the Incline CLub, so they decided to play a game to see if they could teach each other a trick or two… But it mostly ended up being trash talking and getting heckled by the scooter kids. Take a look!

“I had physical therapy the day before we left so Big Boy found out my little brother was at the skatepark and raced over there to challenge him to a friendly game of bike. Big Boy claims that he is training my little brother for the vans contest. I hope you guys enjoy this epic trash talk battle and remember to like comment and subscribe!” – Scotty Cranmer

Subrosa Brand UTB Bikes Available Now

August 1, 2017

Part of Subrosa Brand‘s mission is to create bikes that are made for any BMX rider from young children to the older crowd that are looking for more options beyond just a 20″ bike built for shredding. They decided to introduce the UTB line of bikes, the Erro and the Rixa, to their line up for the people that want a commuter style bike, but have a BMX heart. Both bikes are available now with three different color options for each bike. Below you can learn more about each bike and view a few photos. Take a look!

Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you buy one of these bikes. We wouldn’t tell you about a product unless we were completely stoked on it and would ride it ourselves!

Subrosa Erro UTB Bike

“There is something special about exploring a city on a BMX bike. Looking at each curb cut, rail and crack in the sidewalk. Not as an inconvenience but as a jump, a place to grind, or something to gap over. But sometimes you simply do not have time to take it slow and you need to get from point A to point B fast!

Introducing the Subrosa Erro, a new style of bike that blends the feeling of BMX with the ability to travel farther and faster in comfort, ripping over all terrain, takin’ shortcuts and cuttin’ corners to get there fast and smooth.”

The Subrosa Erro UTB bike is available for $469.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Subrosa, or on the Subrosa webstore now. You can view more photos and get full details on the bike right here!

Subrosa Rixa UTB Bike

“The Subrosa Rixa is where we really blur the lines between BMX and road cycling. A cross between both bikes creates a ride that has the strength and agility of a BMX bike with the speed and comfort of a road bike to get across town fast.

With BMX style 4pc handlebars, chromoly 3 pc cranks and wider tires, the Rixa has a more upright position when in the saddle, and the stability to hit up dirt paths, sidewalks and gravel roads. This gives you the ability to take that shortcut on your next commute.”

The Subrosa Rixa UTB Bike is available for $499.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Subrosa, or from the Subrosa Webstore. You can view more photos and learn more about the bike on the Subrosa Brand Website.

Sneak Peek: Eclat – Onyx Sprocket

August 1, 2017

The crew over at Eclat have released a sneak preview of their new Onyx Sprocket that’ll be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders some time in September / October. This cold forged sprocket will not only be affordable, but it’s double sided with two unique looks, so you can run it either direction. Below you can find an Instagram post showing you the sprocket from both sides (use the little arrows on the photo to switch between the two). Since this is a cold forged sprocket, it should be pretty affordable. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more!

Here's a first look at our new #ONYX forged sprocket which will be available later this year. Thanks to the cold forging process, we were able to produce an insanely strong and durable sprocket which is not only much more affordable than a traditional CNC machined sprocket, but also features a different design on each side allowing you to pick the side which you're feeling the most, and then change the look of your bike at a later date without needing to spend any money. SWIPE right to see both sides ?????? #eclatbmx
