Last month during Frostbike, Jeremy Ball and myself were introduced to a brand neither of us had heard of that are more focused on racing in BMX called Promax. Going over the products, we were seeing some real quality stuff, but obviously due to it being for racing, neither of us really knew much about it. That’s when the ERK brakes caught our eyes. We were really interested in these super clean looking U-Brakes they made. After Frostbike was over, Jeremy picked up a pair for his new setup he built thanks to Deluxe to try out. After giving it a go, he decided to do a quick review for you guys to get a closer look and find out how well they worked. Let’s see what he had to say! – Kurt

Glenn Salyers Bike Check

Interview and Intro by Jeremy Ball

Glenn Salyers is a unique individual. Glenn is polite, hard working, and innovative in everything he does. He is a talented machinist and ramp builder. His handy work with ramps can be seen at “The Kitchen Skatepark.” Aside form those abilities, Glenn is also one of the most talented riders in the Midwest. His mix of styles between both technical and burly puts him at a level of talent that many have the ambition of reaching, but few riders will ever attain. The best way to describe Glenn doesn’t come from the words above though. It comes from Mark Filipowicz, Redline Team Manager. In asking Flip about one of Redline’s newest riders, his response was simple, “What can’t be said about that weirdo?”
Moving on from Glenn’s personality and abilities, his bike is what really helps define him. Continue reading to see what bike set-up allows him to “monster truck” any terrain put in front of him.

Keith Miller and Ray’s MTB Interview

December 11, 2012

Interview and Intro by Jeremy Ball

One of the best parts about living in the Midwestern part of the United States is the summers. Just as summers are amazing, winters make riding a challenge for everyone, from the weekend warriors to the most dedicated of riders. Some lucky people are able to migrate south for winter, while others do not have that opportunity.
Fortunately for those that stay in the Midwest, Ray’s MTB in Cleveland is there to help fix the winter time blues. Recently I took the opportunity to sit down with Ray’s Cleveland manager and rider, Keith Miller, to help give some background information on himself, the new ownership of Ray’s, and the park as a whole. Continue reading and see why Ray’s Cleveland is a must visit for riders of all levels and abilities. (Don’t forget to check out the Photogallery that goes along with this after the interview.)
