The Union contributing photographer, Aaron Zwaal, caught some sunshine so he decided to pull out his camera to film a few clips for you guys to check out. It’s always good to see the guys who are stuck behind the lens more than their bars at times dropping some clips. Take a peek, it has a real good vibe!
Product: United – Grey Colorway
The guys over at United have added a new colorway to their line. They’ve gone with a clean and simple grey finish for their Metro sprocket, Squad alloy posts, nylon posts, hub guards, and seat clamps. They’ve also got Nathan Williams’ signature cranks in a raw finish that goes well with the kit. You can check out more photos and info by clicking here.
Victor Galindo on Volume Bikes
Looks like Victor Galindo is getting that flow from Volume Bikes.
“We’d like to officially welcome our latest team addition to the B squad, none other than 17 year old ripper Victor Galindo from Nipomo California. I first heard of Victor from Raban and Mastroni and those crazy decades he does on street. Later I saw some gnarly pics that J.Cobbs shot of him up in the Bay Area that were insane. You’ll be seeing a lot of him from our trip and other updates real soon, be on the lookout!“

Facetime with Simon Tabron
ESPN BMX caught up with Simon Tabron to talk some history of spinning with him. Take a peek!
“U.K. to U.S. BMX Vert transplant Simon Tabron may not have been the first rider to claim the 900 (Mat Hoffman pulled it first in 1989), but there is no doubt that Tabron is the owner of the most consistent 900 spin in all of BMX, as well as the one and only back-to-back 900 in all of vert.
In the above video, Tabron recounts his early days learning 540s (where he mistakenly over-rotated a 360 to fakie), his dalliances with early 900s (where he over-rotated a 540) and the obsession that stirred inside of him after successfully getting the rotation down. But the 900 air isn’t something vert riders can toy around with though. As Simon recounts above, he had to choose his battles of when and where to throw the trick. Sometimes it worked out (at the Worlds in 1991) and sometimes he went eight years without landing them. Video by Justin Kosman” – ESPN BMX
The BMX Box – Southsea Tour
The BMX Box’s Raymond Inskipp, Karl Southern, Sean Kelly, Ben Marvin, Paul Fletcher and Pat loaded up for a trip to the Southsea area to check out a bunch of different parks. While they were there, they stopped at the 4Down and Seventies warehouses to get some time in on their ramps as well. This is the video they came home with. Real good.
