Here’s one I’m sure a few of you have been waiting for. Profile Racing have just released this 3/8″ to 14mm chromoly peg bolt with a 17mm hex head to their line of bolts for their Build Your Own Hub program! You can find out more by clicking here!
Product: Fit Bike Co. – FK Fork
It looks like the guys over at Fit Bike Co. have been busy cooking up a new fork for you guys. The FK fork is made from 100% 4Q Baked heat-treated chromoly right here in the U.S. This 320mm long fork features a 162mm 1-piece CNC machined steerer tube with with double butted and tapered legs that fit 2.40″ tires and laser cut 3/8″ drop outs with plenty of peg clearance. The FK fork comes in two versions; 1.0 which features a 25mm offset or 1.3 which features a 33mm offset with black for the color and 2.26 lbs. for the weight! I’d imagine these will also be available in chrome sooner than later as well.

Jim Cielencki Leaves Sunday Bikes
Well here’s some news we didn’t expect. Jim Cielencki has announced that he will be leaving Sunday Bikes after 9 years of being the co-owner and brand manager. We’re not sure exactly why he chose to step away, but you can find out more below! Really caught off guard by this one, that’s for sure.
“This day was bound to come eventually. As of mid-May I will be leaving Sunday Bikes. This was obviously a difficult decision for me since I co-founded Sunday with Odyssey back in 2005 and I’ve been working on it every day for the last 9 years. It’s truly been an amazing experience learning the bike industry, traveling with the team and most important of all, meeting so many BMXers from around the world.
My main goal with Sunday was to do interesting things with every aspect of the company and if you’ve been paying attention since we’ve started then you know that we’ve done that many times over. Sunday has always been in great hands with everyone at Odyssey/Full Factory standing behind it, and that’s where it is going to continue to grow, with lots of exciting projects already in development for 2015.
So, now I’m off to new creative adventures. I just want to say that I’m truly honored by all the people that supported and rode a Sunday during my time with the company. Even after all these years, I’m completely stoked when I see a person riding one. BMX as a whole has never seemed brighter when you consider how amazing riders are today and when you look at the progress of the younger riders it’s clear that things are going to only get crazier. I’m very excited to cheer it all on from the sidelines.
Thank you” – Jim Cielencki

Beastmode
It’s pretty crazy what you can do with editing and motion graphics. Check out this video Henry Cakebread did to simulate a video game! Pretty rad.
“Recently I’ve been playing around with different effects in After Effects and I have wanted to create a video that uses some of these new techniques. So, I thought the best way could be to create a video inspired by Tony American Wastelands and the Matrix and use my GoPro chest piece on BMX riders to capture a BEASTMODE run!” – Henry Cakebread
Rick Thorne on Fire
I’m pretty sure the last person I saw ride a BMX bike on fire was Mike Escamilla… But it looks like Rick Throne decided he wanted to give it a go. Although, he didn’t ride like Mike did, he did give the Glory Hole a few carves. Take a peek.
