Fit Bike Co. – Plastic VS Concrete: The PVC Peg

April 26, 2019

The other day we took a look at the new Fit Bike Co. PVC Pegs, now today we get a look at Ben Silver picking up a set to help him beat a concrete ledge that he wasn’t able to take care of with his metal pegs. You won’t be able to find these at Home Depot, but they will help you grind.

“Our new PVC peg features a strong yet lightweight 4130 alloy steel core inserted into a fast-grinding, injection molded, plastic polymer sleeve. Included with each peg is a hardened steel 14mm/10mm reduction sleeve for use with a 3/8″ / 10mm axles. Unlike smaller diameter pegs that only accept some 17mm sockets, this peg accepts 17mm and 19mm sockets for installation/removal.

One Dude One Weekend – Marcel Gans

April 25, 2019

Freedom BMX coming through with an awesome video featuring Marcel Gans crushing it during some indoor park sessions over the course of a weekend over in Germany. Marcel put his deep bag of tricks to work and ended up stacking a ton of great clips! Hit play and check it out! Also, the description below from Freedom is a little weird due to the translation.

“Boy, boy, Marcel Gans was really rock hard for his “One Dude One Weekend” -Edit! That at the end “only” two minutes of footage have come around, some may wonder at this point, but it is only logical. Finally, Marcel had made the daring plan to film Banger for this project.

Such an approach, of course, has its price, because Banger are by nature not only particularly demanding tricks, but usually not completely harmless. Correspondingly, Marcel often had to move his residence to study in Trier in the cathedral city in the P5 skate hall at Bremen Central Station, the skating hall Oldenburg and in Hall 59 in Cologne, where the German Colony rider is in the rest of Local has, on the boards. Many a trick in the video above was only after a long fight in the box, some associated with great pain and / or near-death experiences and many a simply should not be because Marcel pushed the limits of his resilience. After three days of filming, he was accordingly both physically and psychologically at the end of his powers. Complained or even intended to give up, he still has not a second while filming. Instead, Marcel has passionately done his best and despite various impacts always had a smile on his lips.

Here is the result of a weekend full of blood, sweat and incredibly large bruises, but also with one, two canned beer too much, good sessions among friends and the occasional adrenaline rush. In short, a weekend that included everything that belongs to a decent BMX weekend. Many thanks to Fun4u, Colonys Deutschlandvertrieb, who provided us with a first-class equipped van, as well as to Michael Hanfler and Arne Knattert for the hospitality and the organizing of the Nightsession in Bremen. BMX is tight!” – Freedom BMX
