August 16, 2017

The BSD team decided it was time to spend some time exploring the streets of San Francisco and San Jose in Northern California. Here’s a super dialed video featuring the crew going to work on all of the amazing spots they came across from rails and ledges to huge curved wallrides and more. Everything about this video from the riding to the spots and film work is amazing, so hit that play button because this is a MUST SEE!

“Join the BSD team in the streets of San Francisco and San Jose.

Alex Donnachie, Liam Zingbergs, Dan Paley, David Grant and Nick Castillo head up to the bay area to cruise the NorCal streets.

Let’s Help Out Ty Morrow

August 16, 2017

It’s always a bummer hearing about somebody getting some of their prize possessions stolen from them. In this case, Ty Morrow had all of his camera gear jacked over this past weekend. As many of you know, Ty pulls double duty as a pro rider and is constantly filming for projects like the “Trip Tape” that we know a ton of you have been enjoying. Ty also uses all that camera gear to shoot product photos and more for The Trip and a few other things like Fiend, so not having the gear is a huge problem. Ty has setup a GOFUNDME PAGE to help raise some of the funds to get his gear replaced. If you’ve ever enjoyed one of his videos, a small donation might just help him out! If you can’t afford to make a donation, at least give this a share so more people can check it out! Anything helps. Get the full story right here.

“This past Saturday night (8/12/17), nearly $7,000 worth of camera gear was stolen out of my car in SF while I was eating dinner after riding. We were inside the restaurant for no more than 45 minutes before returning back to our cars.

Upon walking up to my car, I was instantly filled with fear as I thought my window was left open by mistake. When I got closer, my heart dropped as I realized what had happened- my car window was smashed in and I got robbed.”

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.

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!

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
