It was announced last week that Colony had surprised Jayden Fuller on his 21st birthday with the news that he had been added to the Colony team. Now, we have a short but riding packed edit that he put together from a few skateparks he has caught since the news broke. Expect to see plenty more of Jayden in the future! Until then, enjoy this one!

Jayden Fuller has just turned 21 and scored a spot on the team over at COLONY bmx.

Sneak Peek: GT Bicycles – LP-5 Color Changing Tire

July 19, 2016

Here’s a little sneak peek we caught over the weekend that some of you might be interested to see! Not only are GT Bicycles bringing their classic logo tire back, but they’ve also got a little surprise inside as well. The LP-5 tire was made so that once the top layer of black rubber wears away, a yellow rubber is exposed. So, in short, over time as you ride, the tire will change colors where the most wear is occurring. That could be from rolling, grinding, skidding or whatever.

What do you think? Would you run that? What color combo would you want?
