November 28, 2016

Here’s one we spotted at Interbike 2016 back in September. Here’s a look at the brand new Message frame from Wethepeople that has an interesting paint job that should have caught your attention by now. The Message frame is made from seamless 4130 Japanese chromoly tubing with a 75.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.5″ bottom bracket height, 8″ standover height and a 13.2″ chainstay length (13″ slammed). This frame features butted tubing, integrated and heat-treated head tube, gussets on the top and down tubes, extruded top tube with integrated removable brake cable guides, an integrated seat post clamp, heat-treated, CNC machined Mid bottom bracket, a wide rear triangle for 2.40″ tires, removable brake mounts (Note: Brake mounts NOT included) and 6mm thick, laser cut and heat-treated dropouts with removable chain tensioners,

The Message frame comes in Holomatic Spectral Silver and Gloss Black for those of you who prefer something a little less flashy, 20.3″ and 20.6″ top tube lengths and a weight of 5.08 lbs. (20.6″). This frame is designed for the technical ramp rider and is hitting BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Wethepeople worldwide for $296.99 – $319.95 depending on your color choice.

November 28, 2016

Vans have released their second part of The Palmistry Guide series featuring the Vans France team.

Wethepeople – Dillon Lloyd’s “Real” Video Bike Check

November 28, 2016

It’s always super awkward when a pro rider doesn’t even know the dimensions on his own signature products, but Wethepeople embrace it in this new “real” video Bike Check with Dillon Lloyd where he tries to give you the details on his signature Buck frame and the other parts on his bike… Hit play to watch him battle his way through this one. It’s a good thing Dillon is an absolute shredder on a bike…

Dan Foley – Should We Just Post This On Instagram?

November 28, 2016

It’s pretty safe to say Dan Foley has had a really productive year despite a number of changes and a busy schedule. Dan has kept a steady flow of BMX videos popping up for a while now, You can check those out right here — Dan Foley videos, but not every video went exactly to plan. Here’s one that started out strong, but unfortunately didn’t get the attention it needed. Luckily, there were still plenty of amazing clips for the project to make a short but sweet one that you don’t want to pass up watching. Check it!

“This past spring, Will Stroud and I began working on a project for DIG. When we started, it was clear that Will and I both would have busy summer schedules and that the project wouldn’t necessarily be a quick one. However, my schedule ended up being busier than expected and it never seemed to line up with Will’s.

Over the passing months, I quit my bike sponsor and surprised even myself by switching to a freecoaster. These changes made me want to get these clips out sooner rather than later. Will was super understanding, gave me the clips, and here we are with about a minute of old footy. Maybe I should’ve just posted it on Instagram.” – Dan Foley

Billy Perry and Anthony Panza Ride a Massive Waterpark

November 27, 2016

Woah… Billy Perry, Anthony Panza and crew ride a massive water park. This video has lead to 20 MILLION views and a serious lawsuit that cost these guys around $150,000 (according to rumors we heard) for “damages”. Pretty crazy. Check it out before it has to be taken down due to legal reasons.

Not one, but TWO videos from the crazy water park that Billy Perry, Anthony Panza and crew snuck into to ride on Thanksgiving. These videos are both pretty similar, but you get different perspectives from what they got into during the session that eventually got shut down by security. Either way, it looks like they had a good time!

“We talked about sneaking in and riding this waterpark for years. Thanksgiving day came and it was finally time to head out at 6 AM in hopes of riding the waterpark and not getting arrested. The day was absolutely insane and then we got spotted by Security.”

“IT FINALLY HAPPENED! After years of chatter, a group of riders including myself finally got to ride a local water park. As a kid I use to visit this place all the time throughout the summers. Being able to experience it in a completely different manner was so EPIC. Due to a rush, this video was filmed very quick with both an iPhone and a GoPro session. DO NOT DO WHAT WE DO.”
