Urban Noise – BMX Street Riding In Tokyo

October 17, 2016

We’re pretty sure you could drop Devon Smillie, Tyler Fernengel, Bruno Hoffmann, Ollie Shields, Fernando Laczko, and Alex Donnachie just about anywhere and end up with a video packed with dialed riding. A few months back they were in Japan for the G-Shock Real Toughness contest, which we oddly enough haven’t seen much footage from, that left them with plenty of time to go out and cruise the street spots in Tokyo. Here’s a look at a bunch of raw clips. So good.

“With Devon Smillie, Tyler Fernengel, Bruno Hoffman, Ollie Shields, Fernando Laczko, and Alex Donnachie in Tokyo, Japan, for the G-Shock Real Toughness contest a few months back, it would’ve been foolish to squander the opportunity to ride street in one of biggest cites in the world with such an epic crew. So we arranged some local contacts, found a cheap hotel, and stuck around for a few extra days after the contest. Tokyo is so vast, insanely crowded, and security is on it, so riding street is not easy. Fortunately, as far as riding and filming were concerned, there were no sponsor obligations or clip counts to stress—and the sessions that ensued reflected that. The locals fed us a steady diet of predominantly ledge spots—and that was fine with us. The next couple days were super chill, consisting of fun spots, strange food, and more than a few street beers. The only sore spot on the trip was when Alex rolled his ankle on the first day at the first spot. After he did one of the cleanest and lofty uprail-to-hard 360s any of us had ever seen, we knew he was warming up for the hard 540, but he took his ankle out on the next try. Alex had to sit on the sideline for the rest of the trip, but he managed to hobble out every day and kick it with the crew, help film, and consume plenty of Kit Kats and other assorted candies. Meanwhile, local 13-year old Japanese prodigy, Rim Nakamura, subbed-in for a few of the sessions and totally killed it. Which was awesome to see—literally, a kid, just roll right into the session with some of the most bad-ass pros and just start shredding. Thanks to G-Shock, Hiroshi Uehara, Ken Jungnickel, Rim Nakamura, and all the other locals we met along the way.” – Ride BMX

The other day we took a look at Devon Smillie‘s new signature 2017 Fuego frame in the matte semi-translucent dark blue color, now we get a look at the Fuego bars, his signature Devon grips and his new signature Fuego tire in matching colors! The grips are made from a translucent dark blue rubber to make the color on the frame and bars, too. We’re really digging that color, what about you?

Flybikes – “Destination London” featuring Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar

October 7, 2016

A little while back, Flybikes‘ Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar spent some time over in the U.K bouncing around to shops. While they were there they spent a bunch of time exploring spots! As you can imagine, these two had no problem stacking some amazing clips! Check out what went down!

“We had the pleasure of joining Fly Bikes’ Devon Smillie and Larry Edgar a few months back on a week long trip through the UK, hitting up some shops along the way. In between those stops we got some time to ride in the Big Smoke as well as a day in Bristol and those two unleashed their full arsenal. As you’d expect with Devon he did some crazy shit and put his spot usage bar to full while we got to see Larry show us he ain’t just a transition god. Don’t worry though, we took him to Dean Lane park for a NASA launch. Supreme camera work from Tonash and Spooky Black handles the noises. If you’re anything like us you’ll be watching this over and over. Look out for an episode of ‘In The Cut’ next week to find out what’s it’s like to be around the caffeine fuelled mind of Larry Edgar for a week!” – DIG

“Another trip, a new country, foreign surfaces beneath your wheels, that feeling of discovery, it’s the never ending pursuit we crave as BMXer’s. So, when Larry and Devon headed across the pond for a Flybikes retail tour, it was another amazing opportunity to get away and hit new spots, capture what England had to offer and bring it to you. Filmed in multiple cities, it was the final “Destination London”, England’s spot-gem capital that captured the guy’s imagination and was always the final goal.

Flybikes – 2017 Fuego Frame

October 6, 2016

Flybikes dropped a look at the new 2017 Devon Smillie signature Fuego frame in the new matte semi-translucent dark blue color. For this year, it sounds like other than the new color, the only other change to the frame is that it now features a shorter 13″ chainstay length and an additional 20.5″ top tube length.

The Fuego frame is made from full 4130 chromoly tubing with a 75.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.75″ bottom bracket height, 9.25″ standover height and a 13″ chainstay length. You can find an offset thickness integrated head tube with dual internal and external gussets on the top and down tubes, multi-butted and tapered top and down tubes, a multi-butted seat tube, Investment Cast seat post clamp with the horizontal cut system, a Mid bottom bracket, Investment Cast seat and chain stay bridges, removable Dylan style brake mounts and Investment Cast dropouts with the removable chain tensioner.

The 2017 Fuego frame comes in this matte semi-translucent dark blue color and matte black in top tube sizes of 20.5″ and 21″. The frame is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Flybikes worlwide and direct from the Flybikes website.

Offset thickness Integrated head tube with dual gussets (internal and external) on the top and down tubes.

The Investment Cast seat stay bridge and the Investment Cast seat post clamp with the Horizontal Cut System which is designed to reduce the amount of torque and pressure put on the frame to hold the seat post in place.
