September 5, 2016

Animal Bikes dropped this raw cut that Colin Varanyak put together from a night and morning of cruising around the streets of Japan with Nobuhiro “Pegy” Masuda and a few others. This has a good amount of cruising around, riding and chilling. There’s some solid riding clips mixed throughout this, though. Check it!

“Colin Varanyak was in Japan for a few weeks and on his last night he hooked up with 4 Pegy and his crew for some night riding. They were in a town just outside of Tokyo. Follow Colin and Pegy as they hit sick spots a pedal till the break of dawn.”

Larry Edgar On Fuse Protection

September 5, 2016

Here’s some news we spotted while scrolling through good old Facebook. It looks like Larry Edgar will be blasting to the moon with a little extra protection now that he’s riding for Fuse Protection. His team page is up on the Fuse website, but we would imagine he’s been busy working on a welcome to the team video. Good to see Larry picking up plenty of well deserved support these days!

Sneak Peek: Flybikes – Volcano Fork

September 5, 2016

It looks like Fly Bikes have started to unveil their new 2017 product range. Over the course of the past few days, we’ve been getting a look at their brand new Volcano fork that will be dropping toward the end of October / Early November. Based off the photos, it looks like the fork is made from heat-treated 4130 chromoly with a triple butted, CNC machined ovalized steerer tube, an integrated cone race, tapered legs and 30mm offset Investment Cast dropouts.

If you were reading that, the Ovalized Steerer tube should have caught your attention. Based off the photo, it looks like the steerer tube starts out round at the top and then becomes ovalized as it meets the legs. The crown race is still round to accommodate the headset. This helps to spread the legs out a little further to give more clearance for 2.40″ tires and more welding surface. Expect full details closer to its release!

Rest In Peace, Smillin’ Steve Kennedy

September 5, 2016

It’s always a bummer hearing about BMX losing a great rider. We just found out that last month Smillin’ Steve Kennedy had lost his life when he was struck by a vehicle walking. Not sure on the exact details, but it’s definitely a sad situation. It has been a little while since we’ve heard or seen anything from Steve, but he was still out riding and crushing it like he had been back in 2007 when we interviewed him on the site. Andy Maguire was sitting on some footage that he had and decided to edit up one last video of Steve for everyone to check out. Rest In Peace, Steve!

Here’s an interesting thread on Reddit where there’s a few stories about Steve, there’s also another website setup dedicated to him right here with some stories about him as well.

“On August 7th of this year, the riders in Santa Cruz lost a dear friend. Steve had a contagious smile and could pretty much do anything on a bicycle. We are all going to miss you, friend, ride in peace.”

Scotty Cranmer – Riding BMX On The Court

September 4, 2016

Scotty Cramer keeping his tradition of going to skateparks to find out they’re locked up and closed. This time Scotty, Big Boy and Cory Berglar decided to cruise around the outside of the skatepark to see what they could ride. After they get bored, they decided to have a little skid contest that gets pretty heated! Check out what they got into.

“We drove over to Freehold Skatepark in an attempt to see if after many years of being closed to BMX to see if the times have changed at all and maybe we could ride or if we aren’t aloud then hopefully we could get someone to give us a reason why BMX isn’t allowed. We were really surprised to roll up to the skatepark and see that it is completely closed for the day on a perfectly beautiful summer day.. insane. Instead of sitting and complaining we decided to see what we could ride around the park and Cory Berglar and Big Boy and myself actually found some really fun stuff to ride! Me and Cory did this bench ride train to tail whip! Big Boy crashed multiple times and finally after wondering around the whole park for a while someone came up to us to tell us that we weren’t allowed. The guy was cool but he didn’t really have any answers for us and told us that we should go to a town meeting in attempt to get bikes in the skatepark. After that we went back to my bike shop to have a skid challenge! We all started out with brand new tires and did as many skids as possible in attempt to see who could pop their tire first! Another awesome day spent riding BMX!”
