The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
If you have ever had the chance to meet Bryan Bird or Mike Corley, you would know they are super funny dudes from Eastern. I cruised on over to their booth to get the latest from Eastern, Nitrous, and Gran Royale along with some things that might not be completely.. accurate. Take a peek.

Alright, so here’s the deal. I’ll be posting up photos from each booth in separate posts to keep this similar to the way I deal with Interbike.
Upon getting to Quality for Frostbike, the first person I was looking for was the Oz. Brian Osborne has been doing some real good things with DuFFS since his return and he gave me a look at their new line when he wasn’t playing with Cobra’s…

Today is the first day of Frost Bike up at Quality Distribution. I’ll be heading up there here in a few minutes to see what brands like Odyssey, DuFFS and Fly has setup. Expect photos and maybe a video or something later today, or tomorrow due to how interesting tonight gets.

had a bunch of industry dudes in town. this past weekend to check out our annual open house at QBP called Frostbike. We all had a good time. a lot of units were moved and it wasn’t all that cold out, compared to years past. A little riding went down last Friday. We got the green light to crash a skate only session at 3rd Lair. There was a lot of skaters there, but we still managed to shred a bit.
this is a small post letting you know about the bigger post I will post tomorrow…….
Check out the new Hucker grips from ODI!
Here’s one we’ve been waiting to drop since we got a sneak peek look back in February at Frostbike. The Mike “Hucker” Clark signature BMX Grips from ODI Grips have arrived! The Hucker Grips use a unique two material design that helps improve adhesion to your bars and reduce slipping. The inside features a harder rubber and the outer rubber is softer with a Southern California beach theme with a palm tree and waves. The horizontal ribs give you more traction and the vertical ribs give you extra padding. Since these grips utilize two layers of rubber, they are able to do some unique color combos. The Hucker grips are available in Black with Blue, Black with Green, Orange with White and Slate with Orange color options, have an extra long 160mm length and come with matching plug bar ends.
You can pick up the ODI Hucker Grips for $12.99 through BMX Shops and mail-orders that carry ODI Grips worldwide now. Check out more color options below…
Black with Green on the inside.
Orange with White on the inside.
Slate with Orange on the inside.

Let’s take a closer look at the new Featherweight In-Mold Helmet from The Shadow Conspiracy…
Note: This post contains affiliate links and we could receive a commission if you purchase this helmet. We would never tell you about a product we weren’t completely stoked on and actually think is worth you using.
Whether you prefer to wear a helmet or not, you undoubtedly know that having one on when you ride is a good idea. Wearing helmets while riding BMX have always been one of those weird “it’s your choice” things that riders go back and forth with. Whether you want to have something on all the time just incase, or for the times you’re “forced” to wear one during a session at a skatepark, it’s a good idea to have one.
Riders who aren’t big fans of wearing helmets always have reasons for not wearing one. We’ve heard that they don’t look cool, they get too hot, they are uncomfortable and that they’re too heavy in the past. All things we have battled with ourselves over the years, so it isn’t something we don’t understand. But we also know the importance of helmets and with so many Pro riders going down with head injuries the past few years, it’s becoming more and more important that riders are keeping their heads safe. That’s why The Shadow Conspiracy decided to go to the drawing board and take all those complaints and create a helmet that riders would enjoy wearing, or at the very least be able to bear it for the sessions they have to wear one.
The Shadow Conspiracy have just released their new Featheweight In-Mold Helmet that is cool looking, lightweight, comfortable and keeps you cool during a heated session, and it didn’t cut any corners on safety — This helmet meets CPSC and EN 1078 standards.
The Featherweight In-Mold helmet starts out with a thinner plastic outer shell with In-Mold technology that uses a custom shape and fit with high density EPS foam that is apart of that outer shell completely, not just a few patches of velcro or glue holding it together so it stays in place. This allows the helmet to have a low profile fit that has that classic look (very similar to the Bucky Lasek Pro-Tec helmet in our opinion) with 10 vented slots to ensure plenty of airflow. If you look closely, those vented holes are the shape of coffins to go along with the Shadow Conspiracy look, which was a nice touch. The helmet is all held in place with a fully adjustable strap that will allow a perfect fit. If you struggle to find a perfect fit, the helmet also comes with two sets of padding to get that custom fit that’s just right for you.
With everything we just talked about above, the helmet’s overall weight was kept down to 273 grams or 9.63 ounces for their Large / XL size. That’s just over a half a pound in weight, which is not a lot; especially when it comes to helmets. That’s nearly half the weight of a ProTec Classic helmet for a comparison. We were blown away when we picked this helmet up for the first time back at Frostbike 2017 because of the surprising weight.
The Shadow Conspiracy Featherweight In-Mold Helmet comes in two sizes; Small / Medium (50-56 cm), Large / Extra Large (58-61cm), colors of matte black and white and a price tag of $69.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide or direct from The Shadow Conspiracy Webstore now!
