The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Nigel Sylvester really put it down, but any haters or doubters will be put to rest with this one! Not only is he as good as ever, but he adds in some new stuff that I don’t recall having ever seen him do before. This really rekindles my curiosity about the bike brand he is suppose to have been working on since he left Mirraco too… hopefully we get news on that really soon!

Tim Güntner has a new edit almost wrapped up, so he decided to put out the clips that didn’t make the cut first to get us excited. How that last clip didn’t make the cut is beyond me, it was so fresh!

Kevin Ouimet is the latest guy to rep La Cribs and has a raw street style, no matter where he’s at.
Troy Merkle is one rider whose riding has always stood out to me. There’s something about the way he puts all four of his pegs and freecoaster to proper use that really looks good. When his part from The Daily Grind DVD dropped online the other week, I started thinking it would be a good idea to get ahold of him to take a closer look at his bike. It just so happens that he currently has two setups that he’s running these days; one for street and one for flatland. So we decided to do a bike check for both of his bikes! Let’s take a closer look at this freecoasting, double tire riding wizards setups!

Take a look at this new promo video from Eclat featuring their new Sniper lever and the one and only, Darryl Tocco, showing you how to put it to proper use! Dialed lever and some dialed tricks. Can’t go wrong. Take a look then take a closer look at the lever RIGHT HERE!
“The Sniper lever was designed from the very beginning to be the ultimate brake lever in all senses. The shape of the lever itself was sculpted for the perfect reach, with a slimmer centre section and then wider at the end where the finger pulls. This improves the ergonomic feeling of the lever and therefore the force you can comfortably apply on it. The backside of the lever is flat, so that when the lever is pulled tight, there is still maximum clearance to the knuckles of the other fingers. We used a cold forging process for the lever part as this offers increased strength characteristics over casting.
The clamp is hinged to allow easier positioning on the handlebar, and particular focus was made on making this fixing as strong as possible, as this is often the area of weakness on other brake levers, with threads stripping out. We used a crmo bolt and barrel set up as it is a stronger material and in using the barrel rather than a fixed thread the bolt can align itself into the perfect clamping position. Ultimately, this means when you tighten this lever on your handlebar, it’s going to stay put! The main part of the clamp is die cast 6061 alloy and the lower hinged section is cold forged for increased strength. The pivot pin is also made from crmo to ensure the hinge is as strong as possible.
To keep the lever pivoting smoothly we use a high quality two piece brass bushing which is machined to the perfect tolerance so that the lever clamps firmly but at the same time can hinge easily. We felt this was very important, as it is the feeling you get through your finger which reassures you how strong your brake is, and that you can trust it to hold when you need it.
We felt the lever deserved similar attention on the barrel adjuster, so we designed our own shape that blended perfectly with the lever, and used a CNC finish to ensure a precise fit and function. The final details were added with laser etched éclat logos to the clamp lever end.” – Eclat
