Here’s a rad one we spotted on Facebook of our friend, young gun Jake Whitney, getting some time in at 4Seasons Skatepark in Milwaukee! You might not be able to see it under the full face, but that kid is always smiling and having a good time! Stoked on this one!
Product: Cinema Wheel Co. – VX2 Cassette Hub
Is it time for a new back hub? Have you given the VX2 Cassette from Cinema Wheel Co. a look yet?

Fit Bike Co. – Begin, Hango, Long and Spriet Welcome to the Pro Team
Well, here’s some news that I don’t think anyone saw coming like this! Fit Bike Co. have all been bumped Brandon Begin, Jordan Hango, Morgan Long and Justin Spriet up to the Pro team! Each of these guys have been kicking a lot of ass for quite some time and if you saw their footage in the “Holy Fit” DVD it is pretty clear as to why these guys have all been moved up! Now, check out their Welcome edit that also provides plenty of evidence as to why as well!
“Well, it’s official, Brandon Begin, Jordan Hango, Morgan Long and Justin Spriet have been bumped and the Fit Pro Team just got a little “heavier.”
Hango and Spriet’s standout sections in Holy Fit, Begin’s brand of tech/Toro street and Long’s dedication and originality are just a few reasons why the foursome have earned spots alongside our established pros.
We sent the squad to Arizona a couple weeks ago to film a “Welcome to the Team” edit and here you have it! Good dudes, good moves, good times.

The History of Basic Bikes – Part 1
Now this is awesome! The guys over at Snakebite are doing a series on the history of Canada’s Basic Bikes! I’d imagine a good number of you probably haven’t heard of the brand, but they were on it during the 90’s and produced some badass frames. Check out part one where they go through the history of their frames and the changes they had over nearly 10 years right here.
Lifestyle Ikonic – The Boro
Some of the Lifestyle Ikonic crew caught a session at their local park on what looks to be a cold, wet day in Canada! Even though the temps were low and the park had water all over it, they seemed to have no problem stacking clips! Take a look!
“We all met up at the dirt jaaaaamps for a bit and chilled em all but got bored and headed to the park. Sessions ensued while obstacles dried. Backwoods were rolled and beer was consumed. Good times were had.

Although the New England area has been getting pounded with snow this winter, the sessions at Skaters Edge have been going strong to pass the months! Here’s a real solid mix of riding from a bunch of different riders bringing a lot of different styles and tricks to the session. Well worth a look!
“I stacked clips of my friends the past few sessions at skaters edge skatepark and this was the result! There are some heavy clips in here that I’m psyched on. Enjoy!” – Joe Nelson
