Sneak Peek: Eclat – Cortex Freecoaster

September 15, 2015

The product sneak peeks are starting to flow heavily with Interbike just one day away. Today we popped open Facebook to see a preview of the new Cortex freecoaster that Eclat are working on. No set details on just what is inside, but we would bet that it’s not your typical stock KHE Internals. We would assume since the Blind freecoaster has freecoaster and cassette abilities and can be switch from right or left side drive that the Cortex is going to be a more “standard” freecoaster that is more affordable than the Blind hub. We’ll just have to pick the Eclat guys brains when we see them…

September 15, 2015

We started our day with an email from Steve Crandall that contained a fresh FBM video featuring Seamus McKeon going to work on street spots, pools and skateparks. As always, Seamus brings plenty of style and a very unique approach to riding from hucking backflip 180’s to big alleyoop 360 fakies to some INSANE gaps. This is one BMX video you won’t want to pass on.

The End of BMX Plus!

September 14, 2015

Well, here’s some unfortunate news to be announcing. After 37 years, BMX Plus! have decided to call it quits. They have made the announcement via Twitter and it sounds like their final issue will be the November 2015 issue. For those of you keeping track, that really only leaves Ride BMX as a major publication for BMX magazines now that DIG, Ride UK and BMX Plus! have discontinued print. There are still a few smaller publications that do print, but seeing a magazine like BMX Plus! go under is pretty rough. I’d be willing to bet the first magazine a lot of you saw were a BMX Plus! in your school.

Here’s an edit we had sent through featuring Mark Freeman getting down at his local skatepark. Mark brings a bag of tricks filled with flips, tailwips and more that is mixed between regular shots and plenty of helmet cam footage. Mark’s turndowns and lookbacks are pretty rough, but the rest of the BMX video is solid. Take a peek!
