Diogo Santos – Street View

February 8, 2013

Diogo Santos has been on absolute fire lately… It’s hard not to be with a mustache like his though. Check out this new video of him killing it on the streets!

“Around mid summer 2012 talked to Diogo to film some street riding with him, we worked together building a skatepark away from home witch gave us some time to film and with two weekends spent in Lisbon here’s what we got.
during the time we filmed this Mr. santos changed his shoe sponsor to VANS, and got his colorway Corvo frame from mutant bikes .

Barchus Forever

February 8, 2013

Javaun Crane-Bonnell sent through this rad new edit that he put together featuring Matt Barchus that’s damn good. I can’t believe some of this footage is a couple years old. Definitely take a peek.

“Matt Barchus was my idol even before I even got to meet him. Matt has become one of my really good friends and is one of the best dudes on a bmx bike. Barchus was CT’s pride but he moved to North Carolina to go back to school. This is a collection of footage that I got from the first day that I met Matt till when he left. Some of this footage is two to three years old. Set to some OG Dipset, barchus murders everything in sight!

“Our Socket Drive interface system has been in use on our FLATWARE CRANKS since their inception, and it was only a matter of time before the system was adapted into our THUNDERBOLT cranks. The time has come.

In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. The interface is solid and reliable, so we are now offer the KILLINGTON sprocket to match.
