ABQ DNV – Ryan Pipkin Video
The ABQ DNV crew just sent through this fresh video from Federal Bikes‘ connect here in the U.S, Ryan Pipkin, going to work on street spots around Albuquerque! This is loaded with some great riding, rad spots and clean film work. Enjoy!
“Ryan has been an ABQ killer for sometime now. This video showcases his skills around town while paying to homage to some old ABQ spots and past killers. He has a hook up with Federal and Stacked BMX as well so we hope for nothing but good things from this. Here are some words from one of his Filmers/Friends in ABQ.
“Ryan is a very motivated influential rider out in abq he pushes himself to learn new tricks everyday I recall how he used to tell me when he first started off everyone said he’d never get any where while riding a bike, the type of person Ryan is this motivated him to prove everyone wrong and has done so. He never has expectations for what happens he just goes and has fun. This video is just the beginning and a little teaser for what Ryan really has in him keep an eye out for his future videos for he is bound to blow your mind. This video was very fun to go film almost every day and to just continue to see how Ryan progresses. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as we enjoyed filming it!” – Hunter Lodwick
‘We started getting clips for Ryan’s video back before everyone broke their New Years resolutions. However, spring in Albuquerque is windy, and unpredictable. I think it even snowed once in May if I remember correctly. But the sun came out, we were back at it. Since Ryan is the type of the riders that can get something done at any spot. We kinda just had to pedal around, the clips gradually filled the SD card, and the completed video happen naturally. Ryan has a come a long way since I met him at my local park wearing red pants, and a purple shirt that happen to match his terrible purple paint job on his red line with bent forks. I feel like the kid gets better every day and I’m exited to see where he goes from here.” – Matt Gutierrez

Product: Federal Bikes- Stance XL Rim
There’s no denying that BMX wheels have been getting bigger lately thanks to the larger 2.40″ tire size taking dominance with its benefits of increased traction and ability to take heavy impacts better. With the bigger tires, we have also seen a number of changes in BMX rims which have always been evolving to keep up with the crazier riding that is going on these days. To accommodate for those larger tires and demand for stronger rims, Federal Bikes have released their new Stance XL rim.
The Stance XL rim is made from 6066 aluminum which is 30% stronger than 6061 aluminum found on most rims and features a new contemporary design that utilizes a triple box section, a wide 40mm profile (Traditional rims are around 34mm) and lower 15mm sidewall (20mm is a common height on other rims) height. The wider design helps to maintain tire profile for larger tires and it makes the rim stonger and stiffer overall. Federal have also increased the thickness in the center of the rim by 22% too reduce spokes pulling through. Since the rim is wider, it makes it easier to lace and tighten spokes as well. The overall diameter of the rim is 394mm.
The Stance XL rim is available in matte black and polished silver with a weight of 18.5oz through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Federal Bikes worldwide now.
