If you open up the newest issue of Dig, you’ll find this shot of Mike Saavedra cranking a turndown to promote Profile’s new 22mm cranks. Sweet.
Getting Awesome with Ryan Nyquist – Remote Control Barspins
For years people have made jokes that Ryan must have a barspin button on his bike because he does so many of them. Inspired by that, he and his brother decided to make it a reality. It took a few tries to get the system done, and the button is in his brother’s hand and not on the bike, but they make it happen, and even get a double in!
In Focus – VX1000 Filming Tips with Beagle
Yeah it’s a skateboarding dude teaching you, but plenty of BMX guys are still pumped on filming with this 18 year old classic, so I figured it was worth posting.

Corey Foster Bike Check
Over the past few months, we’ve been seeing bits and pieces from the Freed Bikes crew between their team trips, riders and products. The team is one thing that’s been catching my eye from the start since it’s a lot of guys I’ve personally never really heard much about or know much about. But that’s one of the best parts about doing this site, I have the chance to get to know and introduce these guys to you. We came across a couple photos of Corey’s bike recently, so we figured it would be a good chance to catch up with him to find out what he’s riding and a little bit about himself. Take a look!
Name: Corey Foster

Deluxe – “Part Deux” – Mark Potoczny and Jeremy Ball in PA
I’ve been itching to show everyone who hasn’t seen the Deluxe “Part Deux” DVD more since they started uploading parts a few weeks back. Slowly but surely you’ll get to enjoy this whole video as much as I did! This week we’ve got Mark Potoczny and Jeremy Ball’s section getting loose in Pennsylvania! Hit that play button and enjoy the trails goodness!
“For this full part, Patrick travelled to Mark’s house in PA with Jeremy to spend some time there filming in Mark’s own backyard. Dialled lines, trains, good times.
Music: B52s / Rock Lobster
Music Disclaimer: Before anyone screams “SONGJACK!!!”, of course this same soundtrack was used for Tom Dugan’s section in the epic Bad Idea video from Empire BMX. The Part Deux DVD came out a couple weeks before Bad Idea, and it’s highly unlikely Dave Parrick saw the Deluxe DVD before its release, and we hadn’t seen Bad Idea before we made this part – so this is a simple case of massive co-incidence. That is all!

For our second full-length film, we decided to mix things around from Welcome To Deluxe. This time out we ventured to some choice spots that our team riders created and nurture on a daily basis – from Southern California to Pennsylvania, from the Midlands of England to Southern France. We also took the team on tour to discover new spots, cook up some lines, throw some shovel-loads, and have a good time. Because that’s what we’re all about… enjoy.
