Dak’s shoe is available now in this clean Black and White color combo with an embossed logo on the top and graphics on the insole inspired by Dakota. These shoes are simple, and will be able to hold up to any session!

Florent Soulas – Stay Flow

February 1, 2021

It’s always a good day when Florent Soulas has a new BMX video to check out! Here’s his latest filmed over the course of the past 2 years over in France! Dialed riding from street spots with no shortage of style, bike control and speed. Nobody does it quite like Florent and the spots he rides are crazy. This all makes for such a good watch! Take a look because this is just shy of 6 minutes o pure gold.

“Long time FIT International team member Florent Soulas is a remarkable bike rider, especially when you consider he lives a family life with 3 kids, works a full-time job as an organic gardener and then goes out and slays it on his bike like this. Our man Antoine Sabourin spent the last two years working on this with Florent, filming on the French Atlantic coast whenever they had some spare time, and damn did it turn out good! We can never get enough of watching this dude.” – DIG

Brian Tunney – January 2021 Clips

February 1, 2021

Brian Tunney has been keeping his monthly videos going strong for two years now, and we’re really stoked to see he’s keeping it going! Here’s his latest kicking 2021 off with some laid back flatland riding (while battling the pickle ball people for his spot) and some new music you probably haven’t heard, but will likely be stoked on! Hit play and enjoy!

“Apologies in advance: no scooter tricks. January is customarily, a slow riding month for me because work gets crazy. This year, despite the pandemic and the near collapse of democrazy, I was still really busy with work so this is basically three weekends of riding crammed into one awkward January video.

Anyone remember the band Karate? Neither does iTunes. They were a three-piece slow core band from the Boston area that evolved into a loose jazz outfit over time and released a handful of really influential records through Southern Records, none of which are still in print or available for digital purchase. The song used here is a Karate cover done by New Idea Society. I didn’t ask Mike Law if he was cool with me using it, but I can safely assume that he is.

Buy the tribute album here, it’s really great, and look around on YouTube if you’re curious about the original band. Their albums are all still available for listening here, but it’s just not the same as buying and owning it.

Anyways, buy this music here.” — Brian Tunney
