Macneil X Inflow – Gabe Truax Video

November 29, 2016

Gabe Truax coming through with a new video for his sponsors Macneil and the Inflow Skatepark for your viewing pleasure. Although we went into this one expecting footage from the skatepark, it ended up being an all street video, which is just fine. There’s no doubt that Gabe was busy trying to put a hurting in on the streets while it was still warm out in Canada before he’s stuck inside thanks to all the snow and cold weather. Hit play to watch Gabe get his street fix!

“Was gonna wait a little bit to put this thing out but I decided to give it to you all early…
Here is my edit that i filmed for over the course of the summer. Ended up turning out better than I thought it was going to thats forsure…
Enjoy!

Shadow Conspiracy – Invisa-Lite Pro Insoles

November 29, 2016

The Shadow Conspiracy have spent the past few years developing a new range of protective gear to help your stay on your bike longer, safer and more comfortably. The Invisa-Lite series features a number of products from shin, knee and elbow pads, ankle and wrist wraps, and now insoles for your shoes. When you ride BMX, you’re putting A LOT of abuse on your feet as they absorb a lot of the impact that is disbursed by your bike as you land. The Shadow Conspiracy took that knowledge and used it to develop these insoles that absorb that impact better than traditional insoles found in shoes. Above is a video showing you the details and a little bit of the science behind these, and below you can get more details and a better look at the insoles.

“Shadow is proud to introduce to the world our new Invisa-Lite Pro Insoles. Designed to keep your foot secure and stable while providing support and impact defense, the Shadow Invisa-Lite Pro Insoles are the FIRST insole made just for BMX.

Engineered with an ergonomic shape featuring a deep heel cup and mid arch that evenly distributes weight, alleviating joint stress during the heaviest impacts. The Invisa-Lite Pro Insole come equipped with Stabalite and ShockFoam Impact Proof Protection materials Shockfoam ensures that the force of the impact is ABSORBED, not rebounded while molding to the shape of your foot. Stabalite cushions and stabilizes. Layered together with a moisture wicking upper fabric, all three materials work together to guarantee high performance, protection, durability and ultimate comfort.

Need evidence? Watch the video and get knowledgable then head to your local Shadow dealer or the Shadow Web Store and pick up a pair for yourself today.”
