Monster – The Ramp II: Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff

December 21, 2017

The final video from “The Ramp” series has arrived and Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff put it to work!

It’s been a while since Monster Energy has released a “The Ramp” video, so we were pretty surprised to see this video being released. We’re not quite sure why the video has been sitting for over a year, but that’s okay since Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff absolute CRUSHED IT! Get on that play button and enjoy this!

““The Ramp” finale…finally. Shot in the middle of 2016, various obstacles and periods of nothingness have let this video sleep dormant for far too long. But, I think it shows how timeless The Ramp can be, as the riding from Kevin and Alex still stand up to the level of riding today. I know it’s only been a year and a half, but progression happens fast these days.

Sit back, relax, and watch as Monster’s Alex Donnachie and Kevin Kalkoff put the final touches to this project.” – Monster Energy

Unit 23 Skatepark – Jingle Buels Jam 2017

December 21, 2017

Check out what went down at the Jingle Buels Jam at Unit 23 Skatepark in Glasgow!

Whenever Unit 23 Skatepark throws a jam, you know it’s going to be a wild one! Here’s some highlights from the Jingle Buels Jam that went down the other weekend. As expected, it was a packed house and a ton of great riding went down from locals to the Pros like Kriss Kyle. Hit play and take it all in!

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen a jam at our local Unit 23 skatepark in Glasgow, Scotland but Chaz Mailey and the crew there thought it was about time to get everyone together again. The invites were sent, Bucky put on ice and the big bowl in Hall 1 was the venue. Sit back and enjoy a whole load of roasting from the likes of Kriss Kyle, Chaz and Connor Mailey, young Kieran Reilly and more.

“Having not put on a BMX event at Unit23 for a minute or two, we decided to have a bowl jam to end the year. What started as a little ‘friends only’ bowl session, soon turned into a bit of a jam, with speakers, flyers, prizes and Bucky. It’s cool to see the BMX world come together and make things like this happen, even north of the north. We’d like to thank our sponsors for helping us put this little jam together, BSD, Source, DIG, Endless & Seventies. A special thanks goes out to Jimmy’s Iced Coffee for being so down to help out, and a massive thanks to everyone that showed up and made it such a rad time! Here’s to next year! Here we go.” – Chaz Mailey / Unit 23

BSD – White Donnasqueak and Donnastreet Tires

November 22, 2017

Looking to freshen your bike up with some white tires? BSD have you covered with their Donnasqueak and Donnastreet tires.

The crew at BSD decided with the winter ready to hit, they might as well make some white tires for you to get your hands on. We’re sure that’s not the actual reason, but let’s just pretend it is. They have released the Alex Donnachie signature Donnasqueak and Donnastreet tires in this new white with black wall color option to freshen your bike up with.

Above is the Donnastreet tire. Both tires are made from the same great rubber compound that gives you plenty of grip and the right amount of squeak. The difference between the two tires are the tread patterns. The original Donnasqueak tire has a more aggressive tread pattern that is ideal for street, ramps, even a little dirt. The newer Donnastreet has a smoother pattern with a similar look, but is more ideal for street riding.

Both tires are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide starting this week! The Donnastreet comes in 2.30″ and 2.40″ sizes and the original Donnasqueak comes in 2.25″ and 2.40″ sizes.

Doing this has made the tire lighter with a weight of 22.50 oz. for the 2.30″ size and 23.63 oz. for the 2.40″ version.

The Donnastreet Folding Tire is available in black only, sizes of 2.30″ and 2.40″ and can be picked up through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide starting now. If you’re not a fan of the folding Kevlar bead, you can still pick the tire up in the Wire Bead Donnastreet Tire!
