Isaac Lesser – Build It

January 13, 2016

On it’s own, ROM Skatepark might be a little bit dated, but if you mix in different ramps all over the place… You have one hell of a spot with endless opportunities. Watch as Isaac Lesser shows us how he gets down on his home turf with the help of a few power tools and wood. Excellent riding in this!

“Isaac Lesser has been riding ROM Skatepark for almost 15 years. Being the oldest skatepark in the UK, the classic, concrete haven boasts endless lines and haunting transitions.
However Isaac decided it was time to think outside the box, and with the addition of a few wooden extras, was able to open up gaps, lines and transfers that nobody would’ve thought possible.”

How Knurling On Bars Is Done

January 13, 2016

A video posted by Chris Moeller (@moeller_chris) on Jan 12, 2016 at 1:02pm PST

Have you ever wondered how knurling on the bars or really any other part on your bike that might utilize this technique to keep your shit from slipping? Well, Chris Moeller posted this quick video clip of them getting the process done on a set of S&M Bikes or Fit Bike Co. bars in their warehouse in California. If you’re a product nerd like us, this stuff is awesome to see.

“Totally knurly bro! One of the most difficult parts of making the best handlebars in BMX! So many little tricks in equipment, tools, cutting fluid and materials to get this seemingly simple diamond knurl right. We’ve been at it non-stop since 1999 and I think it shows.” – Chris Moeller

Sneak Peek: Shadow Conspiracy – Flamingo Blood Colorway

January 13, 2016

Here’s one we got a sneak peek look at back in September at Interbike 2015. Sometimes mistakes can end up being a good thing. When The Shadow Conspiracy originally planned this colorway, the pink was supposed to be red… But when they got the sample it ended up being pink. They weren’t sure if they were going to roll with it, but after getting a bunch of positive feedback during Interbike and from the team, it looks like they’re going to run with it. The Flamingo Blood colorway will be available on a handful of different products that The Shadow Conspiracy offer. Based off the photo it looks like hubs, stem, seat post and bar ends will have the color. So get stoked.

DIY Winter Spot 2015

January 13, 2016

The Australian winter has passed and the warmer temps have been treating them nice down there. Kym Grosser had a bunch of footage from the DIY spot him and a handful of others called home when things were cold and wet. So, instead of letting it go to waste, he put together this rad BMX video for you to check out. It’s pretty awesome seeing what a couple rails, ledges and other setups built out of scrap materials can lead to. Take a peek!

“Had a bunch of clips of the boys from the indoor spot sitting on my computer so I threw this together , we rode the spot all winter in 2015 and had a heap of fun there .. riders are Sean Falkenstein , Mick Bayzand, Brad ‘Ando’ Anderson, Ash Simmons, Jaxon Andrawartha, Kym Grosser, Nick Harris ..”

Bruce Crisman “Shola” Section

January 13, 2016

Stoked to see this one surface finally! Snakebite just uploaded Bruce Crisman‘s section from his “Shola” video he produced back in 2008. This section has a mix of footage from the X-Games he crushed to street spots he brought his amazing freecoaster riding to. This is one BMX video you won’t want to pass up on!

“Bruce Crisman’s Shola part just feels so fluid to me. In the same way that Bruce made the move from X-games champion to a ground breaking street rider seem fluid. He has done it all with him just riding his bike the way he feels good about. Bruce makes things that are so hard look so smooth and that’s why he will be remembered for changing the game” – Shad Johnson / Snakebite
