Traveling with Dennis Enarson
All photos by Mark Losey / Nike BMX
If there’s one huge perk to BMX, it’s the option and freedom to ride anywhere you want in the world. Everywhere you go there are new spots, new people, new experiences just waiting for you and you have your bike to give you all the reasons in the world to hit the road. Dennis Enarson is a traveling machine with more miles logged in a year than most traveling businessmen, so we figured we would hit him up with a few questions to find out some of his favorite and least favorite parts of traveling are! Let’s see what he had to say!

Here’s some awesome news. Matt Ray has been added to the Subrosa Skeleton Crew. Matt has been killing it for quite a while now and this is definitely a well deserved opportunity! It sounds like his welcome edit will be dropping next week and based off this teaser it should be a banger! Until then, go check out his BIKE CHECK to see his new setup!
“We are very happy to announce the addition of New England based shredder and all around good dude Matt Ray to the Subrosa Skeleton Crew! Matt’s skill and talent on a bike are pretty obvious, and he has been a strong Subrosa supporter for a long time. After a few interactions with him, riding a Subrosa Park Party together, and meeting some of the crew, we knew Matt was going to be a great fit!
Look for a lot more from matt soon, including a wild “Welcome to the Skeleton Crew” edit that we’ll be releasing this Thursday January 29.”
Wethepeople – 2015 Volta Complete
Wethepeople sent through this quick video giving us a closer look at their 2015 Volta complete bike with a few clips from Pete Sawyer mixed in for good measure! Looks like a dialed unit to us!
“The Volta is made for the true PRO rider out there. It’s built with strength in mind, fully equipped for the PRO life. That’s why we equipped the Volta with a set of the Wethepeople Royal cranks; a true force to be reckoned with. We also threw in some Salt plus Magic forks with invest cast dropouts and a set of Éclat Dynamic front and rear hubs with all new rear 14 mm female axle. Finish it off with a high set of 9” bars and a Wethepeople Seize front-loading stem and this really is ready for anything.”
Sneak Peek: Eclat – Overguard
Yesterday we got a sneak peek of Mutant’s External Hub Guard… Then today we woke up to an interesting message from Eclat that included photos of a similar hub guard they coincidentally are also working on one called the Overguard! Turns out we might just have a few options for these external hub guards in the near future which is a good thing. Here’s the direct word from Eclat about their guard… Check out more photos after the jump!
“In today’s world of peg trickery and heavy street riding, hub guards are simply a necessity for any rider. For 2015 we have been hard at work on a whole series of groundbreaking new products, designed with the modern street rider in mind. Here is a look at our new Overguard we’ve had in development for a while now. The Overguard is a universal drive-side hub guard. Fully CNC machined out of heat treated 4140 chromoly, this guard is not only totally indestructible but also highly functional. The idea came about when we realised how much hassle most riders have when trying to get a driver side hub guard that will be compatible with their rear hub and not be susceptible to damage. We went to the drawing board and what we came up with was a unique design that allowed the guard to fit to pretty much every hub/frame/peg on the market.
The advantage of using Chromoly for the Overguard is that it’s super strong, slides like butter and wont break the bank either. The two threaded bolts keep the guard in place and prevent it from moving. The guard is thin enough to sit between the peg and the dropout and then over your chain, simply bolt it on and you’re ready to give this thing some serious damage. The Overguard will also happily sit on your non-drive side too, so you can actually run two of these puppies and never worry about missing a grind again. The Overguard will be available later this year, look out for more info on this and other new Eclat products coming soon…”
