Eclat – Seeker Pedal

November 8, 2016

Is it time for a new set of BMX Pedals? The crew over at Eclat have released their new Seeker Pedals for those of you who prefer a plastic pedal. These pedals start out with an injection molded nylon and fiberglass body with a wider body than most other pedals that is also thinner than the average pedal. You can find 14 molded pins and knurling on both sides of the pedal, along with a few Eclat logos for good measure. One thing you might also notice is the pedal is flat from side to side with a small concave, where most pedals feature a bulkier center to accommodate for the axle and bearings.

Inside you can find a chromoly axle and a dual bearing and bushing combination that allows the pedal to maintain strength without having too much bulk.

The Seeker pedal comes in colors of black and Army green with a weight of 15.97 oz. Available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Eclat worldwide now.

Knurling + 14 molded pins = plenty of traction.

These pedals feature a slimmer profile than most plastic pedals on the market. You can also see how the pedal is flat from end to end with a slight concave to give a little more grab on the pedal.

Available in black and Army green colors now.

“Jake “Dizzy” Deering makes the most of a 10 day trip to California.. soaking in the sun and riding “cali spots” with his good friend Jack Kelly and the rest of the Division Brand / Colony squad. Keep your eyes peeled for a HEAVY Colony section dropping from Jack in a few days.

Behind the Scenes of “Ride” The Movie

November 8, 2016

If you have been on Instagram lately, there’s a good chance you might have caught some glimpses into a new movie that’s in the works that is based around BMX. More specifically, it’s based around the incredible life of Haro‘s brand manager, John Buultjens, and how a new family and BMX completely changed his outlook on life and his future completely. This movie has a pretty interesting cast from a number of pro riders to guys like rapper / actor Ludacris and more! Hit play to check out a news story on the movie that gives you some details. We’re really looking forward to this one. John’s story is absolutely amazing and unless you have crossed paths with him, you probably haven’t heard it. This movie should really open up a lot of peoples eyes well beyond BMX riders.

“Chris “Ludachris” Bridges, Sasha Alexander, Ali Afshar and John Buultjens are interviewed about their upcoming project “Ride” – KTVU CBS 2 News”

Let’s Help Out Shawn Real

November 8, 2016

It’s always a bummer hearing about a rider that has had a nasty fall and landed a spot in the hospital. This time around Shawn Real took a bad crash after his fork snapped (photo below) clean off, sending him tumbling and breaking a couple of vertebrae’s in his back. You can get the full details and donate over on the GoFundMe page that has been setup. If you can afford to pitch in a few bucks, that’s great. If not, at least help spread the word since that can go a long way, too.

Below you can find a feature on Shawn that DIG ran a little while back to give you some more insight into just what kind of a guy he is.

“After his years in Greenville Shawn found himself moving up to Long Island for work for six months or so, and he coincidentally moved to the same town where myself and Russ Barone live. After meeting Russ and the other dudes he continued to ride with all them, but mainly stuck to street and park. Thinking he wouldn’t be interested, It wasn’t until a year or so later that Russ told him about the trails… but little did he know that Shawn grew up racing and riding jumps. Since he’s been coming down to the trails and since I met him, I’ve learned a lot about this individual who I can now call a true friend. Shawn is a stand up human and one hell of a fucking ripper. I wanted to put this edit together of him cause i hate when i see people of this talent get little or no recognition from the BMX world. So sit back, enjoy, and recognize.
