#StandWithScotty Halloween Jam at 5050 Skatepark

November 4, 2016

We have had a few videos pop up from the 5050 Skatepark Halloween Jam, but the crew at 5050 just sent through their own edit giving you a look at the action that went down throughout the day. This event was also a fundraiser for Scotty Cranmer and it looks like the park was able to donate over $700 to help Scotty out with his medical expenses. Not bad at all! Hit play and check this out!

We are proud to announce together we raised $735 on behalf of everyone that attended our annual Halloween jam tonight. The love and support for Scotty is amazing. There were not only BMX riders, but scooter riders and skateboarders excited to donate and tell their story about how Scotty Cranmer is so inspirational to them.

Thanks to everyone that came out tonight! It’s no surprise after being the only able to land the “Loop of Horrors” Dominick Simoncini walked away with the free week to Woodward East courtesy of Red Bull.

WeMakeThings Now Distributed By Snap Distribution In UK

November 4, 2016

It looks like there will be a change in where BMX shops are getting their supply of Eclat, Salt, Salt Plus and Fuse Protection products in the U.K. Some of the brands under the WeMakeThings blanket have made the move over to Snap Distribution. However, you will still find Wethepeople still being taken care of by Cycling Sports Group for UK Distribution. Get the full press-release below.

“OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE FROM WE MAKE THINGS Gmbh:

As of November 1st 2016, we have moved our UK distribution operations of our BMX brands Éclat, Fuse Protection, and Salt / SaltPlus from Cycling Sports Group UK to Snap Distribution.

We would like to thank Cycling Sports Group UK for everything it has done to grow and cultivate Éclat, Fuse Protection and Salt / SaltPlus for many years in the United Kingdom. At a time when CSG are applying more focus on its complete bike brands like WETHEPEOPLE we feel that moving P&A brands like Éclat and Salt / SaltPlus to Snap will help expand our growth with a more distinct and direct way. All parties have dealt with this move in a mutual agreement and we look forward to working hard in the future with both Snap Distribution and Cycling Sports Group UK.

Harry Schmid CEO of We Make Things Gmbh said “We are really excited to end 2016 and move into 2017 with a brand new U.K distributor for Éclat, Fuse & Salt / SaltPlus but not without mentioning the hard work of Cycling Sports Group UK who have helped build these brands into what they are today in the U.K”.

All our Éclat, Fuse Protection, and Salt / SaltPlus products are now available through Snap Distribution.

November 3, 2016

Here’s some really rad news for you! FBM are doing a limited edition re-issue of the old Derrick Girard signature Deployer frame! The frame will stick to a similar look, but have a few modern updates.

You can find a FBM head tube badge on the integrated head tube, a gusset on the down tube, double butted top and down tubes, an internally butted seat tube, Mid bottom bracket, single bend chain stays and heat-treated 14mm dropouts.

Since these Deployer frames will be made on a pre-order basis, you can choose either seat or chain stay mounted brake mounts and guides, welded or removable mounts, or go completely brakeless.

The Deployer Re-Issue frame will come in flat army green with top tube lengths of 20.75″, 21″, 21.25″ and 21.50″ and a weight of 5 lbs.. The frame is available for pre-order direct from the Last Call Distribution website or by calling 607-257-3480. Get on this now since it’s only available for a short time.

If that isn’t awesome enough, for $50, you can get the frame with a Limited Edition FBM X DRG Quadsaw sprocket. These sprockets are CNC machined in Maine by Derrick Girard himself. They’re made from 7075-T6 aluminum, come in sizes of 28, 30 or 33-tooth with a 19mm or 22mm heat-treated 4140 chromoly adaptor and come in colors of anodized black or polished.

The frame and sprocket will set you back $419.99.
