Ride 4 Ray – Ray Malinga Memorial Jam Flyer

November 20, 2015

Last month, BMX tragically lost Ray Malinga in a car accident. It’s always a bummer when BMX loses a rider and it’s especially hard when an influential and positive rider like Ray, who was a huge part of the scene in South Africa, is lost. There has been a street jam scheduled for December 6th in Johannesburg to remember Ray. Everyone is meeting up at the Library Gardens at noon and then everyone will roll out from there. It sounds like they’re also collecting bike parts and BMX goods that will be used to raise funds, so if you have anything to spare, make sure you bring it along. This is bound to be a real good day, so if you’re in the area… Make sure you’re hitting this one up! Rest in Peace, Ray!

Product: Madera – Celestial Protocol HT Cranks

November 19, 2015

Would you look at that?! Would you just look at that!? (I hope some of you got that)… Madera have decided to expand their Celestial Colorway to their American made Protocol HT BMX Cranks! This now means you can make your hubs, stem, sprocket and cranks match this wild colorway from a galaxy far, far away. But in all seriousness, the new Celestial Protocol HT cranks are available now through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Madera worldwide now. If not, you can pick yourself up a set direct from the Madera Webstore for $164.95!

Celestial not your thing? They also offer chrome Protocol HT cranks now as well!

We have a feeling these will be selling out just as fast as the other Celestial parts did when they were first introduced, so act fast if you’re trying to get a set!

Red Bull – Behind the Scenes of Kaleidoscope: The Cinematography

November 19, 2015

The behind the scenes footage from Red Bull Kaleidoscope video keep on coming! Today, we were given a behind the scenes look at what went into the filming of the project and how they took rough ideas and drawings of ramps and made them a reality. It also gives us some insight into the camera equipment that was used during the filming process… There were definitely no VX1000’s used during the making of this one… In fact, we’re sure you could probably buy a hundred VX1000’s with the gear these guys rolled in with. All in all, it’s pretty crazy to see the level this project as a whole was on… It’s also good to see Matty Lambert was behind one of the main cameras filming this project. BMX riders tend to know a thing or two about filming BMX riders than somebody that has never rode before, haha. Hit play and take it all in already!

“Kriss Kyle and the production crew take us behind the scenes to show us how they achieved the impressive optical illusions and cinematography in his riding film, Kaleidoscope.”
