Poiss Barbier – Morning Tai-Chi in Taipei

August 5, 2019

Poiss Barbier hit us with a link to his latest video that he put together from some time he spent cruising around Taipei during a recent trip checking out street spots galore and some of the parks in the area! This was all self-filmed and he managed to come up with a bunch of rad clips with his laidback, pegless style. This ended up being a real good watch, so hit play and take a look!

“I went to visit Taipei for 13 days, and got a serious jetlag.

Since my friend did not bring his bike, I woke up super early most of the time and decided to go for solo cruise around the city.
And found myself really exited to film little bullshits here and there.

Here is a compilation of the insta video I did, some clips are not great, it was just to show the spot to my friends.

You can also find some skatepark riding with the locals.

Enjoy.” – Poiss Barbier

Inside Look At The Free Night Planetary Freecoaster Hub

August 3, 2019

There has been some buzz about the new Free Night Planetary Freecoaster hub that is a new design that combines a freecoaster and a cassette hub into one hub so you can freecoast backward, but still get the same feel as a cassette when you’re pedaling forward without the slack and need to engage / disengage the hub. Brant Moore got his hands on one of the hubs to get an in-depth look at the hub and do some riding with it. Here’s a video where Brant disassembles the hub to give you an inside look at the hub. If you’re on the hunt for a new back hub and want to try something different, check this video out for a look at this guy.

You can also learn more about the hub on the Free Night website!

“This hub could change BMX freecoaster hubs FOREVER!
The internals of the Planetary Freecoaster from Free Night are similar to hubs weve seen before, but have one giant difference; planetary gearing.
This allows the hub to be a cassette when moving forward, then immediately go into freecoaster mode with NO disengagement.
This is completely unlike and other freecoaster hub available.” – Brant Moore
