Sunday Bikes – 2021 Complete Bikes Preview

May 1, 2020

It’s that time of the year when we start seeing some new products start popping up! Sunday Bikes got a jump on their next year models of complete bikes and have released a full preview of their 2021 Complete Bikes that will be landing here in the near future (no word on the exact release date yet). Above is a look at Broc Raiford‘s first signature complete with Sunday, and a few words about the new line below! You can check out ALL of the bikes over on the Sunday Bikes Website giving you a look at every bike in their line up from entry level to top of the line, along with the latest versions of their big bikes as well. As always, they delivered with some great looking bikes! It’s rad to see gyros and brakes making a comeback!

“We are proud to introduce our 2021 Sunday complete bikes. You’ll quickly find that our new line is full of improvements once again this year. We are excited to introduce “Park” models in both the Primer and Forecaster categories. With a model-specific geometry that features accents like a lower standover height and an Odyssey Gyro kit with dual cables top and bottom, both the Primer and Forecaster Park models are built to shred right out of the box.

We are also happy to announce that Broc Raiford recently joined the Sunday Pro Team and we were able to include his signature Forecaster complete bike in the 2021 line. Additional improvements can also be found on our popular High-C 29er bikes. This year’s model features V-brakes, an Avid brake lever, a quick release seat post clamp for 27.2 posts, a revised gear ratio and an all-new handlebar design.

From our entry level 16” Blueprints to our 100% aftermarket Soundwave Special, the entire 2021 line features the vibrant colors and finishes that Sunday is known for and, as always, you can count on the durability, manufacturing quality and modern spec that has made Sunday the go-to brand for riders shopping for a new complete bike. We hope that you’ll enjoy checking out the new Sundays as much as we enjoyed making them. Thank you for your continued support!” – Sunday Bikes

Haro – Dennis Enarson “Continuous”

May 1, 2020

As many of you know, Dennis Enarson‘s backyard was recently completely revamped and it turned out AMAZING. There are sooooo many lines possible and you can literally just keep flowing back and forth non-stop. Here’s a video from Haro where Dennis does one continuous and very long line all over the ramp. Needless to say, Dennis throws down some great riding and puts every inch of this ramp setup to good use.

If you want to see more from this ramp, check out the new Vans “Homestead” video featuring Dennis, Corey Walsh and Jason Watts on the ramp!

“Come along for the ride on this insanely glorious line with Dennis Enarson that seems to just keep going and going forever! Consider this a tour by Dennis of his brand new ramp set up that is sure to leave you drooling!

GT – Quarantine Shreds With Mad Mike

May 1, 2020

With shutdowns and quarantine orders keeping everyone from being able to ride their local parks and spots, sometimes you need to get creative to keep the sessions goin. Here’s a video where Mad Mike gets creative on a ton of unique setups in his driveway. They might not be the ideal setups, this definitely lead to some dialed moves.

“Despite a gravel driveway, fatherly duties, and a blustery snowstorm, nothing can stop Mad Mike from #ridingthisout. With Mike’s DIY spot closed due to quarantine, he decided to make the most of some found objects around his house and still managed to have an awesome session.” – GT Bicycles

A Long Shot In Barcelona

May 1, 2020

It’s pretty wild how fast life can go by. It’s also crazy how complicated life can get with responsibilities the older you get, so sometimes the best thing to do is make those last minute, spur of the moment decisions when you’re young and aren’t tied down. Bevan Cowan was getting burned out at home, and doesn’t have a ton responsibilities right now, so he decided to book a trip with some friends from Australia to Barcelona, Spain to get a proper trip in exploring a new place for him, riding amazing spots and just having a good time! Here’s an edit from the trip that undoubtedly lead to memories that’ll last a lifetime. Check it out!

“Every now and again, life can give you a real kick in the ass (for better or for worse). It’s what you take and make from it that counts. I firmly believe that life will keep advancing at an increasingly rapid pace and it doesn’t give a fuck about your permission to do so.

I have no intention of rushing into the next 40 years of my life. Don’t get me wrong, I am terribly excited about the day I buy a house, have a family and pour myself into them, but life for me isn’t quite there yet, so I intend to see and experience all I can. And for that reason when I received a message out of the blue from Jax about the possibility of going to BCN, I was going to exhaust every resource possible to make this happen. I was dead broke, working a shit grave shift job and was still adjusting to the passing of my father from the previous year. It was going to be a long shot, but it was needed.

All in all, this experience (while admittedly, an emotional time for me) was a god-send. Good times, good dudes, good weather, beers and bikes. Nothing ground-breaking happened riding wise on this trip but it ticked all the boxes we needing ticking got ticked and we created a series of life-long memories with the true essence of BMX.

Riders:
Bevan Cowan (Pegless Raw Bike)
Jax Anderson (Gold Bike)
Adrian Barling (Blue Bike)
Gareth Kelly (Old Black Stricker)

Music
Song 1: Grant Green – Mr Jukes
Song 2: Jellybean’s Graduation Song – Club Sport” – Bevan Cowan

Morgan Wade – Least Favorite / Most Favorite

April 30, 2020

These Least Favorite / Most Favorite videos are always pretty interesting since you get a lot of insight and stories that you would never really know about. This time around Morgan Wade sits down to talk about his Least Favorite video part and his Most Favorite video part. Both of these videos are awesome, so it’s pretty interesting to get Morgan’s perspective on what he liked and what he didn’t like. What’s really crazy is there is actually another version of his “Drop The Hammer” part that Morgan liked a lot better with a different song. Check this out.

“The basic concept here is that we’re going to sit down riders who have had a plethora of video parts and have them discuss their least favorite (not to be confused with not liking) and most favorite. Jog the ol’ memory box and talk about a different period of their life and what went into making those parts…

I actually filmed this Least/Most with Morgan back in 2019 shortly after we started Our BMX (hence a couple of Ride references), but totally spaced on putting it together. Morgan recently posted his DTH section and it sparked me to get this done. If you’d like to watch the parts he discusses without commentary, click below…
