Head over to The Merged to get the low down on the new Mark Love signature “Love” topload stem and the new Hate front load stem from Federal. Clean and simple. I like it.
Sneak Peek: Federal – Plastic Pegs
You might have caught a glimpse of these back in September during Interbike, but it looks like the new Federal plastic pegs are about to drop. These pegs use an alloy core that sticks out just beyond the plastic sleeve to help resist premature cracking and breaking of the plastic and will be available April 24th!
La Costa Norte – A Monday with Federal in Barcelona
Fernando from La Costa Norte spent some time with the Federal Bikes team while they were in Barcelona. This video gives you a look at what they got into during one of the days they were there. Not much is given away for riding clips, but based on this, the actual edit from the trip should be amazing.
“FEDERAL BIKES was in Barcelona filming for an upcoming web edit and we spend a Monday with them …
Starring Dan Lacey, Bruno Hoffman, Stevie Churchill, Jason Eustathiou, Michael Smelko, Roy Van Kempen, Medhi Vivens, Charly Reed ( TM ), Will Evans ( filmer ), George Marshall ( photographer ) and Ema Scutella ( Tattoo artist ).

Through The Lens: Catching Up with Stevie Churchill
Anyone who follows BMX closely knows that Stevie Churchill is a kid from the East Coast that absolutely kills it. He is known for doing ridiculously difficult tricks that some pros would hold onto for enders in legit video parts, only he does them in everyday web edits. There is something about his riding that is crazy to watch because he makes everything look so effortless. There isn’t a single rider out there that could disagree with the fact that Stevie is changing the street game as we speak. Not only does he kill it with how technical his riding is but he also mixes in the big moves that would make anyone’s ankles and wrists cringe. He is humble, doesn’t let his talent get to his head and has the skills to be on top of the podium at any street contest out there. I got the chance to chill with him for the day before he headed back East and took some time to fire some questions his way to fill everyone in on what’s going on. Enjoy.
Roy Van Kempen Bike Check
It was announced the other day that Roy Van Kempen had parted ways with his long time sponsor, United. I had a feeling that a rider like Roy would have a new opportunity lined up when an announcement like that is made, so I decided to hit him up to see if he was working on a new bike. It turned out that he did have a new opportunity and that would be Federal Bikes. We figured since he was building up a brand new bike that it would be a good time to get the first look at that dialed new ride. Check out this full bike check along with a few bonus questions to see what’s new and what 2013 has in store for Roy!
Name: Roy van Kempen
Roy Van Kempen on Federal Bikes
I’ve been waiting to announce this one for a few days now. Roy Van Kempen is now doing it for Federal Bikes. Roy and I are working on a bike check for his new setup so expect that in the next few days!
“I’m very proud to announce that I am now a part of the Federal Bikes family.
I’m really looking forward to meet up with all the Federal homies!
The weather is finally getting better here in Amsterdam so I’ll start filming for my ‘welcome to the family’ video anytime soon.
Nothin’ but Good Times Ahead!” – Roy Van Kempen
