August 3, 2017

The Common Crew and Sunday Bikes teaming up to bring you this new Julian Arteaga video that is packed with gold from street spots to roof tops. Julian is no stranger to putting his pegs and freecoaster to good use on everything he comes across and this is just this. Dialed riding, chill vibe, clean film work. Can’t go wrong with a combo like that! Hit play and enjoy!

“Julian and Sauce took their time on this one stacking only the best of the best clips for this project over the past two years. These tricks didn’t come easy but after hundreds of battles, meltdowns and injuries the final product is here and it is nothing short of a masterpiece. It’s not everyday someone delivers a six minute video part but that is exactly what we have here. Big thanks to his frame sponsor Sunday Bikes for supporting him through it all and being down to host the video on the Common Crew YouTube channel! Subscribe for more video parts dropping soon! ” – Common Crew

Shadow Conspiracy – Ravager Plastic Pedals

August 3, 2017

Let’s take a look at one of The Shadow Conspiracy’s classics… The Ravager Plastic Pedals.

Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you were to buy a pair of these pedals. Don’t worry! We wouldn’t be talking about them if we weren’t stoked on them and would run them ourselves. In fact, we have!

Anyone who has rode plastic pedals know that it can be tricky finding something you really like. The Shadow Conspiracy have had their Ravager plastic pedals apart of their line up for years without much for changes beyond color options because it’s a BMX pedal that so many people have become fans of. The Ravager pedals are made from an injection molded composite with 10 round molded pins per side. The pedal has a low profile body with additional knurling all over the pedal for additional traction. Inside you can find a 4140 heat-treated chromoly spindle with loose ball bearings, giving you a strong, but affordable setup. There’s a reason these pedals have been a popular choice for BMX riders from around the world all these years.
