If you haven’t noticed by now that Radio Bikes have been on it as of late with a stacked team along with a dialed range of products, you’re slacking. The brand has been making some moves and we have definitely taken notice. Last week we got a look at their Great North Tour video and we took notice of one of their German connects who has been apart of the team for a couple years now, Christoph Werner, and figured it would be rad to get a look at his current setup and find out a little more about the guy. So, here’s a fresh bike check for you guys to get a look at! Let’s do this!

Almond Footwear – Daniel Benson in London

August 14, 2015

Here’s a good flashback Friday for you guys. Almond Footwear re-released this video featuring Daniel Benson talking about his recent move to London and why he loves the city so much. It’s pretty crazy how much can change in five years, but how much can stay the same at the very same time. Check it!

“5 years ago when we started Almond we sat Daniel Benson down and talked to him about his recent move to the big city. Benson went on to produce and edit the legendary Albion Magazine and still lives and rides in London, keeping to his word.

The reason this never aired was because we didn’t really know what we were doing with cameras and editing. We just threw stuff together and consequently it was sitting on the chopping room floor for half a decade.” – Almond Footwear

Head over to the Almond Footwear website to check out an interview with Van Homan that was supposed to run in the UK’s Front Magazine before it went bankrupt and fell through! It’s kind of an interview for a non-BMX riders perspective, but it’s still a good read! Van rules!

Tanner Easterla Bike Check

Tanner Easterla BMX Bike Check

Tanner Easterla is a name that has been popping up more and more over the past few years and gaining a reputation from some of his gnarly web videos that have dropped in that time. Today, we are stoked to announce that Tanner was recently given a well deserved spot on the Radio Bikes team as their newest U.S rider! As you would imagine with a new sponsor like Radio, that means he is rolling around on a brand new bike! We were curious to see what he was riding, so we got ahold of him for a closer look at his fresh Radio Toren setup decked out with Radio and Eclat parts and then figured we would toss him some extra questions to see what he has been up to these days! Let’s take a closer look!

“PRODUCT DESIGN INTERN (F/M)

Position for Product Design Intern at We Make Things, Cologne, Germany

Our company is one of the leaders in the BMX industry with involvement extending over 15 years. The core of the business is still based around BMX bicycles, this includes complete bikes and high-end aftermarket components that are sold around the world.

The projects are varied with us owning many brands that have organically grown from BMX, all requiring product design and management. These brands include fixed gear bikes and parts, footwear, clothing/accessories and impact protection all of which is designed here in Cologne.

Above all we’re looking for someone who possesses true creative thinking, and has a passion for technology and progressive design. You must have a critical eye for detail, and a natural feeling for what ‘looks good’. Although not crucial to the role, a keen interest in BMX/Cycling and the action sports sector is definitely a bonus. With so many brands and products the workflow is varied and fast, so you need to be able to flick between tasks easily. You will work in a close team of graphic and product designers so a friendly and open personality is a must.
