Flybikes – Larry Edgar 2020 Aire 2 Promo
Flybikes coming through with a fresh video featuring Larry Edgar putting his signature Aire 2 frame to work at a park out in California! This one is short, but very sweet. As always, Larry delivers with some real dialed riding with plenty of speed, style and boost! Hit play and take it all in.
“When Larry Edgar drops in, you know you’re going to see something wild. Larry’s ability to go insanely high, along with a ton of style, always makes for a good watch! When you go that big all the time, you need a frame that can hold up to the riding! The Larry Edgar signature Aire 2 frame was designed to let him blast without having to worry that his setup can handle it!
To help reduce the weight of the frame, we’ve gone with new tubing specs and a new 6mm. dropouts to help reduce the overall weight without sacrificing any of the strength. We’ve also made a few changes to give more riders options. The 2020 Aire 2 frame comes in a smaller 20.8” size that also utilizes a shorter 13” chainstay length to go along with the original 21” and 21.8” sizes that have a 13.8” chainstay length. Also, Larry requested that we change things up from the M8 style mounts to the EBS style mounts to make it easier to switch between brakes and brakeless riding.
The Aire 2 frame features internal and external gussets, multi-butted and tapered tubing, an Investment Cast seat post clamp with the Horizontal Cut System, removable EBS style brake mounts and Investment Cast Dropouts with integrated chain tensioners!
We’re not sure where Larry got the boost button installed, though.
Available through Flybikes dealers worldwide and online in Deep Blue and Gloss Black!

Mark Webb – Welcome To The Dream
Mark Webb has been back on it full speed ahead the past few months with his Youtube channel. Most of his videos are longer vlog style videos, but he just dropped this new edit from mini ramp sessions at the Southsea Skatepark! Mark banged out a ton of dialed lip tricks that you won’t want to miss. Also, it would appear that Mark is riding for Red Bull in the video since they don’t just go handing those helmets out to people, but unfortunately it was just part of the theme of the video being a dream. We’re not sure where he got the helmet, but it had us thinking maybe it was his announcement for a new sponsor until we read the description of the video below.
Either way, we hope Mark keeps putting out edits like this. Maybe we can get another one of The Webbie Show videos?
“I filmed an edit based on a dream of mine that never became reality, so I made it some what closer to reality as I could. This was a fun little concept and the locals at my skatepark did think I had scored a new drink sponsor, but I had to let them down this video/concept is all positive vibes about a dream that I never wanted to wake up from
TO ALL MY SUBSCRIBERS.. whatever it is you are doing, Keep it fun and don’t do anything to anyone that you wouldn’t like to happen to you. Positive vibes all-round. oh and btw Southsea Skatepark, it is open for business so book you’re sessions over the phone get down there and have some fun keep everything fun.” – Mark Webb
Drifter Dave Memorial Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGmkzoEyx5s
Last year BMX lost Drifter Dave. Today would have been his 50th birthday, so Chris Silva dug into his archives and put together a ton of great footage of Dave going to work on spots up in the Toronto area. Although Dave was pretty heavily focused on Drifter Snow Bikes the last few years of his life, he was a key leader in the BMX scene around Toronto for decades, and was a shredder. Take a look! BMX definitely lost a good one way too early.
“Ride In Peace Drifter Dave Stewart
In memory of the Godfather of Toronto BMX Street riding
August 7th 1970 – May 8th 2019
Happy 50th Birthday!” – Chris Silva
