The Thrill BMX crew recently loaded up and took a trip to Luxembourg to get some time in at the skatepark and street spots the place had to offer! The good vibes were high and the riding was flowing. Check out what they stacked for clips in this new edit!
Drew Bezanson’s Street Style
Drew Bezanson has been on absolute FIRE lately. Check out this new one of him putting in some time on street spots out in California in preparation for the Dew Tour Street Style contests coming to Portland and Brooklyn these next few weeks. So good!
“You can ride street all your life, but once someone like Drew Bezanson puts out a couple of amazing park edits and win more than a few contests, the average rider no longer considers the fact he can ride street. But the fact is that Drew rides everything and his style fits in just perfectly with the Dew Tour Street Style event hitting Portland this weekend. I went ahead and caught up with Drew for a day and we cruised some spots in San Diego and he absolutely destroyed it. Check the video and be sure to catch the live webcast of the Street Style event on http://dewtour.com this Sunday, August 17th, at noon PST.” – Ride BMX

Deluxe Has New Ownership
There had been some rumors floating around for a few weeks now that Deluxe was being sold, but there wasn’t anything concrete. It turns out the rumors were true and as of today one of the new owners is the legendary Kris Bennett! Get the details below from the trails brand’s creator, Mark Noble.
“I’ve got some big news regarding Deluxe today, which we can finally announce: as some of you in the industry may already know, I have a relatively new job at CSG UK as their BMX category manager, which is a big deal and is going extremely well – working with great people, on great brands, with plenty of varied challenges to do there. However it’s impossible to work on CSG BMX and work on Deluxe at the same time, to really give Deluxe the attention and love it deserves. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, after three months working on a plan and talking to various people and options, I have found safe hands for Deluxe – people who want to develop the products, work with all the existing team riders, help evolve the company, and really invest quality time and care into it.
Three American riders are going to be taking Deluxe to the next level – and namely they are: Justin Desko and Roth Desko, and Kris Bennett. Justin rides with Jeremy Ball all the time and has ridden a Deluxe frame for years, Roth resides in CA and rides there, and of course Kris Bennett should really need no introduction. They’re also sound businessmen and so from that aspect, they’re keen to make Deluxe a real success.
Deluxe is truly in safe hands, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
I’d like to thank everyone who’s helped get us to this point – the team riders past and present, the designers, the graphic designers, photographers, artists and videographers, the manufacturers of our parts and frames, the distributors worldwide, the bike shops out there, and anyone who has bought a Deluxe product and ridden it.
The brand new era for Deluxe starts now, with Justin Desko, Roth Desko, and Kris Bennett taking the reigns.” – Mark Noble

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – 2015 Manual Springhanger Brakes
Today Flybikes dropped a preview of their new Manual brakes using the “Springhanger” system which essentially removes the springs from the arms and puts it on the bridge cable for easy installation and adjustment. This is one item I personally cannot wait to be able to get my hands on…
“The next item in our 2015 preview is something we have been working on for a few years now and we’re very excited to finally release it! The new Manual Springhanger brakes use our new brake system which eliminates the springs on the brake mounts with an oversized spring as the cable hanger that also creates the tension on the arms.
This concept is very simple. We have removed the copper inserts and springs on the arms with kevlar washers and use the spring to adjust the tension by simply bending the spring inward or outward to your preferred tension. By doing this, we have simplified installation, made adjusting the tension more simplistic and given the brakes a cleaner look.
The Manual Springhanger brakes come with the hanger, spring, arms, brake pads and two sets of bolts; one for welded on and Easy Brake System mounts and another for removable brake mounts.
These will be available in October through all shops and mail-orders that carry Flybikes worldwide!”
