Cinzas X Role Crew – Rodrigo Oliveira Video
Looking to start your week off with some freecoaster and grind action? Rodrigo Oliveira has this dialed new video for you to check out that he has been spending the past few months stacking clips for. Rodrigo knows a thing or two about grind combos and how to properly assault a flat rail and ledge with all four pegs. Take a look at this BMX video, because it’s just under 5 minutes of pure street goodness.

DC Shoes – Robbie Maddison “Pipe Dream”
No, this has nothing to do with BMX, but we know for a fact you have probably never seen somebody ride a dirt bike on a wave before! Holy… crap.
“DC presents Robbie “Maddo” Maddison’s “Pipe Dream,” giving the world a chance to witness history being made as Maddo rides his dirt bike on the powerful and iconic waves of Tahiti. From his helmet to motocross boots, Maddo was dressed for FMX when he took his dirt bike into the unchartered saltwater terrain of the Pacific Ocean in French Polynesia.
For nearly two years Robbie has been focused on making surfing on his motorbike a reality. His efforts paid off in Tahiti, where he rode the world famous waves at Teahupoo and Papara.”

Product: Profile Racing – Z-Coaster Hub
The Profile Racing Z-Coaster has been out for a few weeks now and we’re curious as to what people that are running it thinks! We haven’t really heard much feedback beyond Adam LZ’s video review and the positive response from the team riders. So, if you’re running this hub, let us know in the comments what you think? Pros / Cons, issues you had, things you really love about it, etc…
This hub is made right here in the U.S.A and starts off with the the same Elite hub shell, which is made from CNC machined aluminum hub shell with laser etched logos. Inside, you can find a 14mm hollow chromoly axle, two sealed bearings and a larger sealed bearing behind the driver on Profile Racing’s new patented freecoaster design that uses 3 unique Z shaped cassette pawls which feature 48 points of engagement and all of the pawls engage simultaneously on it’s 1-piece chromoly driver that allows the hub to disengage and work as a freecoaster.
The patented freecoaster design uses slack cam rings that allow you to set the amount of slack you want from 20-degrees all the way up to 90-degrees. You can watch the video on how to change the slack cam rings below.
This hub sounds like a cassette hub when it’s engaged and then goes completely silent when you are disengaged and good to coast backwards. The Z-Coaster is available in black only with a weight 20.6 oz.. This hub is available with 14mm chromoly male axle, 14mm titanium male axle and Titanium driver, 3/8″ chromoly bolts with a female axle and chromoly driver and 3/8″ Titanium bolts with a female axle and Titanium driver.
The Z-Coaster is available now through all BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Profile Racing and comes in colors of black, polished, gold, red and blue (UPDATE: Now there’s a bunch of colors) with a weight of 20.6oz (full chromoly setup). The price tag is higher than other hubs, starting at $357.99, due to it being made here in the USA and being a new product with years of time put into the design and a patent behind it. You can also customize your own direct from the Profile Racing webstore.
So, who runs one? We want to hear from you in the comments!
4Down – The French Connexion: La Ville Rose
Now this is what we call a MUST SEE BMX video! A few weeks back it was announced that 4Down Distribution was setting up a second distribution point in France with Alex Valentino as the man in charge. Since then, Alex has been doing a little restructuring and getting a team of France’s finest setup. Today, we get a look at the first video from 4Down’s new crew, The French Connexion, which consists of Alex, Nico Badet (Now repping Fit Bike Co.), Antoine Nau (Now repping S&M Bikes), Nico Terrez (United Bike Co.) and Tom Deville (United Bike Co.). They have kicked things off with an amazing video filled with some dialed riding (and ROUGH crashes) on street spots they found in the city of Rose. Everything from the riding and spots to the filming and editing, which was handled by Alex Valentino, is so good. Get on that play button and enjoy. This is just the start of what appears to be a real good thing.
