Sparky’s Distribution Halloween Jam 2016

November 4, 2016

The crew at Sparky’s Distribution love Halloween and they love throwing a jam… So when those two things come together, you know it’s going to be a good time! Check out highlights from their Halloween jam that went down the other weekend with a ton riding from the Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa Pro team riders, and a bunch of the locals that came out for the session!

“The scene in Longwood, Florida is a strong one, and it’s obvious that Sparky’s Distribution is a large part of holding it all together. I had the chance to join the festivities and the day was nothing short of exhilarating. These kids were sending it! And the overall friendly / positive attitudes of everyone really made things that much more enjoyable. Shoutout to Trey Jones for putting in work behind the scenes, Ron Bonner for doing the same, and being the backbone of all of this, and to the locals for coming out, buying product, riding the ramps, and having a good time. Till next year!

Riding from Trey Jones, Mark Burnett, Kyle Hart, Joris Coloumb, Lahsaan Kobza, Simone Barraco, Johnny Atencio, and many more.” – Ride BMX

Shadow Conspiracy – Optimized Freecoaster

November 4, 2016

Let’s take a closer look at the Optimized Freecoaster from The Shadow Conspiracy!

On the hunt for a new freecoaster hub? The crew over at The Shadow Conspiracy have released their new and improved Optimized freecoaster for you to get your fakie on with. The Optimized hub starts out with a 36-hole, CNC machined 6061 alloy hub shell with a small Crow logo. Inside you can find a 14mm solid chromoly male axle with 2 sealed cartridge bearings and 2 sealed cartridge hub shell bearings and an a 9-tooth CNC machined chromoly driver. Their past freecoaster ran into a few engagement issues from riding, so to resolve it they have moved to a bushing resistance system to completely fix the problem.

The Optimized freecoaster also features a smaller hub flange on the non-drive side to allow for a smaller plastic hub guard that comes stock with the hub. You’re not only ready to go backwards, but you won’t have to worry about grinding either.

This hub comes in left or right side drive, colors of black, polished, anodized red, Polar Blue, Arsenic and Ignite weighs in at 25.85 oz. and costs $164.99. You can pick the Optimized freecoaster up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide now or in The Shadow Conspiracy webstore.

Can’t go wrong with the classic black color.

Here’s a look at the Polished color.

The new Arsenic color.

The Ignite color is pretty wild.

Livid Purple is another new color option!

The Polar Blue to keep you cool.

Scotty Cranmer – Taking Calls Now

November 4, 2016

NOTE: This video was filmed way before Scotty’s crash! Sorry for the disappointment if you were hoping for a new video from Scotty… This title was a little deceiving.

It’s crazy how much footage Scotty Cranmer was sitting on before the crash. Here’s a video that finally made its way online from a while back when they gave out a phone number for everyone to call in and literally Call The Shots for the crew during a session. The phone line blew up from callers all over the place! Check out what went down… We cannot wait to see Scotty back to pumping videos out like this..

“Road 2 Recovery SCOTTY CRANMER LINK BELOW!

Boost gave us two phones that had there unlimited and unhooked plan already pre loaded up. One for me and one for Scotty, Scotty came up with the idea that we should do an interactive video with the viewers. It was such a fun time and I was so glad we could get you guys involved. Go check out the boost commercial again RIGHT HERE.

Here’s some news coming from the old Instagram feed. Chris Childs has decided to part ways with Merritt. No word on exactly why, but it sounds like it was Chris’ decision. We’re not sure if he has a new opportunity lined up, but we wouldn’t doubt it for a minute since he’s always crushing it and we’re sure he will have a wild part in the new Sunday Bikes “Grow Up” video!

“I would like to send my thanks out to Merritt BMX for the past few years of their time and working with me on their team. I recently made a decision to step down from riding for them. Best of luck to those guys. Here’s to the first Merritt Tazers trip I was a part of!”
