Quicky: Alex Raban

Alex Raban is one of those guys who I’ve been a big fan of for years from all of his DVDs and videos he has put out to the crazy costumes he’s always popping up in. Alex has always been one of the people I thought deserved the chance to be a pro rider and as of lately, that’s definitely been happening. With his signature colorway on the Volume Bermuda frame and new signature Iron Chachi bars being out, two video parts he’s stacking clips for and a bunch of miles being clocked on the road, we figured it would be a good time to catch up with the guy to find out what’s new. Let’s see what he had to say!

Product: Volume – Iron Chachi Bars

Alex Raban Volume Bikes BMX bars

Did you know Alex Raban was getting a set of signature bars from Volume? I didn’t… But they dropped today! The Iron Chachi bars are made from 13-butted heat-treated 4130 chromoly and feature a rise of 8.3″, width of 29″, 12-degrees of backsweep, 2-degrees of upsweep, a crossbar height of 6.2″ and a crossbar width of 10.4″. These bars feature thicker butting on all of the stress points to increase the overall strength throughout. The Iron Chachi bars weigh in at 29.4 oz. and come in chrome and flat black.

The Daily Grind – Alex Raban DVD Section

Leave a Comment

If you don’t know that Alex Raban kills it by now, you’re completely blowing it! Check out his section from The Daily Grind DVD for a good time. Grind Wizard.

“The Daily Grind DVD was released 6 months ago, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to see it. Alex is a killer as you all know from his latest Volume edits, he filmed most of this part in 6 days, AMAZING! Last week was Scott Steele’s part and Tony Cherry the week before that, which are still available @ thedailygrindbmx.com. Next week is Gremlin’s part.“

Kyle Walker Spring 2013 Edit

Always good to see some fresh footage from Cult connect, Kyle Walker. I’ve watched this dude progress so much over the years and it doesn’t look like he has slowed down one bit. Check this out because it’s loaded with heat.

“Well if your friends with Kyle you know his character. Wild, loud, excited,laughter,crazy always with a story or discovery that he can’t help but share. He would point out set ups where I would not know what to think. Is he serious? But one thing is for sure he is quite the individual. Whether it is drifting a 240 or caveman bombing off roofs. Too me there’s a little something that drives us, to keep us going and to keep us sane, Kyle is doing just that.
