Eclat – Shane Weston “Moon Grip” Promo
Eclat dropped this new promo video featuring Shane Weston and his signature grip. I normally hate dropping hints of what’s in the edit, but that fricken bunny hop cannonball blew my mind! And that’s just one of the wild tricks in the video…
“A while ago we started working on a different kind of grip, but we wanted to make something a little more special than the standard flange design. We were experimenting with rubber compounds and grip patterns when Shane got involved and told us he’d be really into a flangeless grip with a symmetrical shape that had a bigger, chunky grip pattern. The circular grip design was underway, but everything dropped into place when we added a sand-blasted texture to the grip. Suddenly they weren’t circles any more, but craters on the surface of the moon! Shane was really into it and so the Moon grip was born.
As this grip had such a unique look there was no way we could use our normal bar end with it. So, with Shane we worked up a design which blended perfectly into the style and shape of the grip and the rest is history.
The final compound is a really soft 23° durameter, high quality Kraton rubber. It’s both soft and comfy but at the same time feels sticky with loads of grip. At 150mm long it looks awesome on a wider bar, and the tighter 19mm internal diameter means there’s plenty of life in them too!
This is the first product in the Shane Weston series, expect something really special in 2012.

S&M – Bevan Cowan Welcome Edit
Rough start for Bevan Cowan but looking forward to seeing more from the dude!
“Bevan Cowan is the newest addition to our New Zealand team through Triple Six distribution. Bevan teamed up with filmer Ryan McCrae to put in some serious work for his introductory edit, but he unfortunately broke his wrist on a gnarly rail 180 gone wrong. He’s a tough dude, so expect to see a lot more of him soon!” – S&M

Stay Strong Trails Jam – More BMX Videos
Here’s a little more footage from the Stephen Murray Stay Strong jam that went down the other day.
“Stephen Murray hosted a huge dirt jam on his recently renovated jumps in Riverside, California and the turnout was insane. Watch inside as Corey Bohan, Anthony Napolitan, Brandon Dosch, Hucker, Colton Satterfield, Dylan Stark, Big Daddy, Kris Fox, and a whole bunch of others throw down amazing riding in one of the wildest dirt sessions of all time.
