Colin Varanyak has been collecting some GoPro clips while out in Shanghai, China with the Fiend crew. The other day we caught a Day 1 video, but it looks like there was more to see but it couldn’t all get uploaded thanks to some sketchy WiFi. Here’s the rest of day 1 featuring Colin, Garrett Reynolds, Kevin Conners, Tony Ennis and Big Kane all cruising around. We cannot wait to see what they’re filming for on this trip.

Clint Reynolds Welcome to Relic
Not going to lie, we got real excited hoping for a 3 minute long video from Clint Reynolds when we saw the title, but this shorter clip works, too! It looks like Clint is now doing it for Ashley Charles‘ parts brand, Relic! Hit play to take in a few clips to bring the news packed full of style!
“Personally, I feel that the team riders that make up your brand are at the core of what gives your brand structure and identity. The riders should represent what the brand is about and the products should reflect those riders styles. Our team is small and that is for this exact reason, we are growing slowly and although we started out with a strong sense of what we stand for, Relic’s identity also needs time for itself to flourish. After moving to Austin over a year ago, getting to know Clint and riding with him regularly, it was a no brainer that the master of DIY’s riding and personality fit what Relic is about and vice versa. Welcome to the team mate!” – Ashley Charles

Red Bull – Drew Bezanson: Learning Curve Episode 1
We caught the trailer for Drew Bezanson‘s new series from Red Bull called “Learning Curve” which gives us some insight into Drew’s decision to add mountain bikes into his already packed BMX schedule the other day and have been curious what it’s all about since. Today Red Bull released this first episode giving us a little insight into what sparked Drew’s attention with mountain bikes and gets the wheels rolling so to speak. Expect 4 or 5 more episodes to really get into this one. It’s definitely good to see get some insight into this since we’ve seen a number of guys like Drew, Ryan Nyquist and more dabbling in big bikes lately. So expect more soon!
“In episode one of The Learning Curve, we catch up with Drew Bezanson a few months after his release of Uncontainable.
Still riding the high from the success of the film and his own sense of accomplishment, Drew begins looking towards the next challenge – slopestyle mountain biking – and coming to terms with the uphill battle he’ll face if he wants to shred slopestyle with the best of them.
Watch the first episode of The Learning Curve in the player above.”
Chad Kerley – Havasu Summer Break
It looks like Chad Kerley has decided to start up a Youtube channel giving some insight into his life. Here is the first episode where Chad and a few friends make their way to Lake Havasu for some partying and fun, along with a few riding clips. If you were hoping for a bunch of fresh riding footage from Chad, this one isn’t giving you that, but there’s plenty to see from the trip. Take a look.

Shadow Conspiracy – The Best BMX Chains Ever Made
There’s no denying that when it comes to BMX chains, the crew at The Shadow Conspiracy have been innovators when it comes to the half-link chain, which has become increasingly popular with a number of brands also offering their own version. Today they released two videos to give you some insight into the strength and design process of their popular Interlock V2 and their Interlock Supreme chains that you have undoubtably seen during one of your sessions with friends or have owned or currently own. Above is the stress test video and below is a video showing how they make the chain, which is real interesting to see.
Even better? The Shadow Conspiracy have enough confidence in their new Interlock Supreme chain, that they are now offering a LIFETIME WARRANTY to the original owner against all defects in materials and workmanship as well as bending, cracking, or breaking while under normal riding conditions. Learn more right here.
“From the original Interlock half-link chain that changed BMX drivetrains forever in 2003, Shadow has always had one goal, to create the best BMX chains ever made. 13 years later and we can confidently say we have done that.
The custom, interlocking plate design of the Shadow Interlock system, coupled with heat treated, mushroomed pins allow our chains to test highest of any chain on the market. Need proof? Check out the video above and see how the Interlock Supreme and Interlock V2 crush the competition in machine testing.

“Want to know why Shadow’s Interlock chains are the strongest? Watch our Form and Function video giving you the run down of the technology found within each of our Interlock chains. From the omni-directional design that prevents your chain plates from getting caught on missed grinds to the cold forged, 3D offset plates of the Interlock Supreme chain for extra protection, our years of research and development will make sure you keep riding without issue.
