Cult just posted a quick update about Dakota’s recovery from knee surgery. It sounds like everything is going as well as it can.
Chris “Nails” Schuster Edit
[video_widget]
Some of you may have taken notice the past few days that we’ve had a new contributor in the Daily Section. We’ve brought long time friend of the site, Brett Rohlfing, on to help us keep up with all the latest videos, news, products and more along with doing some original features for us. We figured we might as well start things off right to welcome him in with a fresh video he put together of his good friend Chris “Nails” Schuster! Check out Chris killing it with the help of a few other Dude Bird guys in the edit and then hit the Daily Section since we’re on it even more than before!
“Chris and I never set out to film for an edit. He’s not stressing about getting coverage, and these days I’m not too concerned with pumping out edits at any particular rate. I see him do (or attempt) something that I think should be documented, so I pull out the camera and snatch it up. Just recently I took notice of how many clips he had, so I decided to get it out to the public. The simplicity of the whole thing really reflects Nails’ outlook on riding and life in general. He goes with the flow, doesn’t let much bother him, and just wants to enjoy life. That’s why everyone that meets Nails, likes Nails.”

Proper – Sam Cunningham Welcome Edit
Sam Cunningham has been on Proper for a while now, but he hasn’t had a official welcome edit since he’s been fighting injuries since he got picked up. It might have slowed him down, but it didn’t stop him from producing this rad new edit. Check it!
“Sam started filming for this edit last Summer but he’s been suffering from a back problem that’s seen him sidelined through most of the last 6 months. We know Sam had a ton of clips in mind that never got to happen but that’s how it goes with BMX. Snakes and ladders!
Needless to say we’re stoked on what Sam produced and wish him well recovering. Some day soon you’ll see what Sam is capable of when he’s 100% healthy.

Sneak Peek: Cult – Investment Cast Sect Fork
Spotted this over on The Merged. The other day, Chase DeHart dropped a little sneak peek on Instagram of the new investment cast Sect fork he’s testing out from Cult. Based on the photo, it looks like they have butted legs along with the cast drop outs that almost appear to be a little oversized for extra strength in the photo. I may be wrong and these are just prototypes, but if it has a logo on it, there’s a good chance these are super close to being done. Start saving your money.
Product: Proper Bike Co. – Acala Front and Top Load Stems
The guys at Proper Bike Co. have been working on a bunch of new products and it sounds like we’ll be seeing them starting to pop up now. Above we have the Acala top load stem which is made from 6061-T6 alloy with a 52mm reach, 20mm rise and a recessed top for your compression cap to fit in clean.
