Mutiny‘s connect over in the Czech Republic through TBB-Bike, Tomas Carda, recently built up a fresh Rune setup. Check out his dialed new ride along with some riding clips for good measure in this new video bike check.
Product: Fly Bikes – Stainless Colorway
Fly Bikes posted up word about their new Stainless colorway that I’d imagine will be hitting shops around the world shortly. This color is available on all of their bars, the Dolmen cranks and Agua fork.
We got a look at this color back in September during Interbike. You can check out more photos of this colorway right here.
Zeb Dennis Summer Edit
Drew Bezanson tweeted the link to this video of Zeb Dennis, so I had a feeling it was going to be awesome before I even hit the play button. Zeb Dennis coming through with an awesome edit featuring him getting down on a few street spots and skateparks around Toronto this past summer. Definitely worth a look.

Sneak Peek: Kink – Translucent Death Blue Solace Frame
Kink posted a few photos of Tony Hamlin’s new setup that he just built up. This is a look at the new translucent Death Blue colorway that Tony’s signature Solace frame that I imagine will be available shortly. How good does that look?
Shok Mou Edit
14 year old Shok Mou should change his name to Shock You because his riding abilities is pretty shocking. Definitely a ton of goodness in this for such a young ripper. Take a peek.
Print Ad: Volume – Eric Bahlman
Volume Bikes posted up their recent print ad featuring Eric Bahlman doing what he does best…. How the hell he can invert out of anything like that is beyond me.
Oh wait, yeah I do.
X-Games Brings Back Dirt
Spotted this press release up on the Fat BMX explaining what the X-Games will be including in their expansion for all of the different stops for 2013. One of those key items would be that they are bringing dirt back. It doesn’t specify at which stops, but I’d imagine any or all of the stops including BMX Freestyle will have a dirt contest. Looks like X-Games are finally starting to listen to the BMX community, so that’s awesome news.
“ESPN, the leading action sports content provider and creator of the X Games, kicks off a new era with the 2013 global expansion’s six-event schedule – featuring eight sports, 26 disciplines and new iconic venues from inaugural host cities Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil; Barcelona, Spain; and Munich, Germany. Joining the existing world-class events in Aspen, Colo.; Los Angeles, Calif.; and Tignes, France, the three new cities will combine to offer the most wide-ranging program of sports and disciplines in X Games history, including the addition of Mountain Bike Slopestyle, Women’s Skateboard Park and the return of BMX Freestyle Dirt.
With the disciplines set, event planning and course designs underway, this expansion will be the first of its kind for the franchise in terms of size, scope and scale – setting a global stage to spotlight the world’s best action sports athletes in BMX, Skateboard, Moto X, Rally Car, Ski, Snowboard and Snowmobile – while also highlighting new and unique lifestyle, cultural and digital elements around the world.
“ESPN is giving athletes a tremendous opportunity to succeed and gain more exposure in their respective sports,” said action sports icon and 17-time X Games medalist Travis Pastrana. “It is awesome to see X Games not only take these sports to more cities globally, but I love seeing new sports added and the return of past, popular events.”
Tim Reed, senior director, X Games content strategy said, “We’re very excited to embark on this new chapter of X Games global expansion and to offer such a wide array of locations and amazing backdrops for the sport disciplines in 2013. Showcasing the world’s best action sports athletes in six world-class host cities will enable fans to experience premier competition and the unique culture synonymous with the new world of X Games.”
