The Profile Racing Z-Coaster – Everything You Need To Know

July 4, 2015

Considering buying the Profile Racing Z-Coaster freecoaster hub? Here’s a video from Adam LZ giving you some insight into the hub that he has been running for a little over a month now. Adam takes you though all the details about the hub, pros, cons and some of his personal experiences with it. Despite the price tag, it sounds like he’s real psyched on it. Check out the video above!

“Is this mysterious BMX hub worth the insane $358 price tag?
In this video we will explore pros & cons of the hub, in addition to how it works.

As soon as the hub came out everyone wondered if I was going to ride it or not… I saw it as a pretty cool opportunity to try out something new and to make a review about. I really want to start doing more reviews, and this was perfect because there isn’t any videos about this hub that aren’t made by profile themselves. As with all my reviews, I try to touch on the positives and negatives instead of just addressing one side of the topic. I’m very happy with my hub thus far, but will you be? It’s DEFINITELY expensive, whether it is worth it or not is up to you. As I said in the video, you’re more than welcome to try out mine before you order one- just hopefully I’m in your area some time soon!

I tried using my new wide angle lens for this review. Not really the best use for it, but it was cool to switch things up. In case you were wondering, I was NOT paid by Profile for making this video. I would never make a commissioned review without specifically telling you guys in the video. Your trust means more than a few dollars to me any day.

Thanks for watching, I hope this helps clear some things up!”

Believe it or not, this was the first day Caleb and I met. I wish we met earlier because he is super fun to ride with and kills it as well. This park (Alondra) was super fun, this day in general was super fun.”

Calling The Shots with Adam LZ at Rye Airfield

January 13, 2015

Adam LZ spent some time at Rye Airfield where he let the local kids heckle him and dictate what he had to do in this round of Calling The Shots! Needless to say, Adam prevailed with some dialed riding in the end!

“A few friends call out some pretty difficult tricks for me to do at Rye Airfield Skatepark. The last trick is a first for me and I’m pumped on it!

—-(continued)—-
We took the 3 hour drive to Rye to get some riding in while I was up north for the holidays. We wanted to film something longer, but we ended up running out of time and made this video really fast. I’m back in school now, so I won’t be uploading as frequently, but I’m still going to try to stick to at least one video per week! Huge thanks to all you guys who watch these videos and interact with us through comments or on any of our social media. You guys are the best, and 2015 is going to be sick!”

The Art of the Head Tube Badge

January 8, 2015

Do you have a love for the classic Head Tube Badge? Here’s a look at a few we really like…

In a world like BMX, there’s a lot of details that can make a world of difference from a riders style to products. When it comes to products, there’s no denying that we have seen quality of BMX frames greatly improve for instance. With that being said, a lot of the biggest changes have come to the aesthetics of the frame. Smaller tubing, cleaner welds, integrated pieces like seat post clamps and brake mounts, investment casting for cleaner and stronger joints, tapering, butting, CNC machining and more all make a world of difference. However, there is one piece that we don’t see all too often these days that, personally, we feel can really give a frame that little extra look that can remind you that frame building is an art; the head tube badge. We started digging around to see where we could find the classic head tube badge these days and compiled a few for you to check out! Let’s do this!

Initially, what got us thinking about this was a photo we came across of FBM‘s badge that’s found on their Steadfast and Hardway frames. The photo below is another version of the badge that, if I remember right, they ran on the original Steadfast frame a few years back. FBM are known for being one of the few brands that still make their frames here in the U.S.A out of their warehouse in New York. They have always taken pride in the quality of their work and I think, even though the head tube badge cuts into margins and can raise the overall price of their frames, is a nice touch to remind people that time and effort went into making that frame.

Another perspective of the head tube badge, is that it seems to appeal to trails riders more than anyone else. Is it because they understand and appreciate the value of putting in work to create something? …Maybe! You can find the head tube badge on Kink‘s trails inspired Mudrunner frame that features the Kink logo, two pick axes and a spade shovel. Badass to say the least.

Although none of the S&M frames don’t come with the head tube badge standard, they still make a badass one that you can drill and tap yourself. This badge, similar to the FBM badge, reminds us that their frames are made right here in U.S.A out in their warehouse in California! Can’t go wrong with quality! That’s for sure. By the way, you can pick this badge up for $15.99 in the S&M Bikes webstore.

Back in 2013, to celebrate Source BMX’s 10 year anniversary, S&M collaborated with them on a signature ATF frame for The Fids that had these crazy pirate head tube badges. The Fids is a badass, so we would have been pretty bummed if it didn’t have a head tube badge! More on this frame can be found on The Merged.

We haven’t heard much from Skavenger in a little while and in all honesty, I’m starting to wonder if they are still producing new products? Anyone with any info on that one should drop us a line in the comments! Either way, Tom White’s signature El Blanco Loco frame featured a rad head tube badge that paid tribute to the famous Love Park statue in Philadelphia. This frame is a good example of how good a head tube badge can make a frame look.

For 2015, the majority of Stolen‘s complete bikes feature a few different versions of head tube badges that use their crest. Above is a look at Sean Morr’s signature complete. You can actually pick the badge up for $5.99 on Dan’s Comp in three different colors and two styles.

Subrosa are another brand that feature a head tube badge on their 2015 complete bikes! This is a more basic badge that features Subrosa’s inverted rose logo. Still a nice touch!

Canadia’s BMXfu crew produced a limited run of these FuMan head tube badges that turned out real good. Not sure if these were ever for sale or if it was just something you had to be apart of the crew to get, but I have a feeling they could have sold a lot of these.

Everyones favorite Youtube sensation, Adam LZ makes these BMX head tube badges that look like BMW logos. Although these aren’t as fancy and just stick on, it’s a pretty cool touch.

So, that about wraps it up! We want to see more head tube badges. If you can think of some classic old school ones or maybe some more current ones we missed, post up a photo or link in the comments! Are you digging this? Hit that “Share” button up top or pass the link along!
