Daniel Penafiel Bike Check

April 26, 2016

It’s been a little while since we’ve caught up with Daniel Penafiel, so we figured it would be a good time to hit him up and see what was new. It turns out that he just built up a brand new bike decked out with a ton of prototype parts from Mutant Bikes including the latest version of his signature Tizona frame and bars. We figured that was a perfect excuse to do a brand new Bike Check to take a closer look at his current bike and find out what else is new with him! Ready? Let’s do this!

Quicky: Brian Kachinsky

If there’s one thing that I know, it’s that if there is one guy who deserves every good thing that happens to him, it is Brian Kachinsky. After what seemed like a rough patch for Brian that we will call “2013” that involved losing sponsors, having new deals fall through, moving The Bakery to a new location and then being forced to rip it all out two months later, injuries and more. It would appear that things are finally starting to look better with the start of the new year for him. It was just announced yesterday that Brian had been added to the Vans team and this news couldn’t get any better. We figured it would be a good time to get ahold of him and catch up to find out what else is new. Let’s see what he had to say!

Daniel Penafiel Bike Check

July 10, 2012

After a few months of being on Mutant Bikes, word slipped out that Daniel “Naran” Penafiel had a signature frame and bars in the works. If you haven’t noticed, the guys at Mutant are always doing some unique things with their products, so this definitely caught my attention. Daniel has been testing prototypes of the frame, bars and a few other items so we figured it would be a perfect time to take a closer look at his setup and find out what we can expect from the Tizona line that’s due out early next year. Check it!

Arnette – Rob Darden Edit

June 17, 2012

I always get real hyped on some fresh Rob Darden footage. This new edit for Arnette is definitely worth a look!

“Arnette sent Rob down to Texas to get some sun filled days of riding and filming before the heat of summer kicked in. From the streets of Austin to the trails of San Antonio it’s easy to see why Rob is considered one of the best all around riders in BMX.
Filming/Editing: Terrell Gordy
Additional Filming: Dan Foley”

There’s been a lot of talk about one of the newest brands on the market called Guerra. After a rough year of sponsors dropping Rob due to him needing time to heal up from surgeries and everything, he has found a place on the new Guerra team. That means it’s a perfect time to take a closer look at his brand new setup that he’s riding these days. Let’s take a look…

Arnette Fire Drill – Limited Edition Colors

December 8, 2010

Arnette Fire Drill

Arnette sent over an early Christmas present that happened to include a pair of their new limited edition neon colorways for their Fire Drill shades. I’m pretty psyched on them, so I figured I’d make a quick post with a few photos of them incase you guys might be looking for some ideas for presents you want your parents to buy you. Big thanks to Arnette for giving me a fighting chance at looking like I have any fashion sense at all. Anything to cover up my ugly mug can only help, right?
