A Full Titanium Brand – Viking BMX

January 27, 2021

A brand entirely focused on making Titanium BMX products. Introducing Viking BMX.

Here’s some news that popped up in the inbox this morning that will get the titanium lovers out there excited. Over the past few years we’ve seen interest in Titanium products start to come back around. Although expensive, it seems like more riders have been willing to pay the extra money to save the precious ounces. Laird Frame has been doing custom titanium frames, bars and forks for a few years now, RNC made an unexpected return last year introducing a bunch of new products like full titanium cranks. Now, there’s a new brand called Viking BMX coming out of Barcelona, Spain that is focused on titanium products as well! The brand is lead by David Palau-Costa, who has an engineering background and has been working on developing titanium BMX products for the past 7 years. The brand officially launched on January 21st. They sent over a press release, along with a look at some of their products, geared toward park and flatland riding, that you can check out below. As expected, the prices are up there, but that is expected with full titanium. They have launched their website, which includes a webstore with a mix of their products, RNC products, and a few other non-titanium items from brands like Profile Racing.

It looks like Viki Gomez is on board, and has a new video that you can find down below as well!

Although we’ve seen titanium in BMX, it seems like lately there has been an increase in options, which is pretty cool to see!

Check out the full press release below!

Rad Girls Flatland 2020

January 27, 2021

It has been awesome seeing more and more women getting into BMX. One group we don’t always see a lot of, but seems to be thriving, is the flatland ladies! Here’s a new 10 minute compilation featuring a bunch of the ladies from around the world putting in work during their flatland sessions last year! It’s awesome to see the level of progression all across the board! Hit play and take a look!

“2020 was a tough year to say the least. But, in the chaos and fallout that we are still experiencing we have a lot to be grateful for. Just stop for a moment, each day, and give pause. Be mindful of your surroundings, and of yourself. Mindfulness has many times been proven to be effective in over all wellbeing. It’s benefits preached and practiced for millenniums now. So if you’re having a hard time, don’t forget it’s ok to just stop and pause in the moment to breath. Or go ride. Many riders will tell you riding is a form of meditation. You must clear your mind of all distractions and focus your attention to the moment. We are all grateful for the riding that we did in 2020, and we are all grateful for every moment afterwards that we have. Here are some of our favourite Rad Girls of 2020.” – Paulatrix
