DIG posted up the bike check with Joe Rich that ran in issue 90, which was the Legends issue, on their website! This is the definition of a “proper unit”. Check it out right here.
DIG – Issue 90 Video Teaser
If you haven’t got your hands on issue 90 of DIG. I highly suggest you do. This should seal the deal if you weren’t sure.
“Issue 90 of our newly revamped and redesigned DIG is now available and our very own Peter Adam put together this video trailer with some actual excerpts from their magazine interviews and some photos past and present. In this issue we’re bringing you some of the people, places, and events that have inspired and shaped BMX and our magazine since our first issue in 1993. To mark this occasion we’ve produced four collectable covers featuring Brian Foster, Ruben Alcantara, Joe Rich, and Van Homan; all legends of the modern era.” – DIG
Product: DIG – Issue 90
As some of you may recall, DIG announced a few weeks back that they would be making some changes to the format of the magazine along with making it available for free in shops in the U.S and U.K. Well, the first issue of the new format is OUT NOW and it’s looking awesome. They’ve got 4 collectors edition covers featuring Ruben Alcantara, Brian Foster, Van Homan and Joe Rich for this issue. You can check out all the info by clicking here.
Terrible One – South Korea Slide Show
Joe Rich put together this awesome slideshow from the trip him and Joseph Frans took to South Korea recently. Check this out!
“South Korea . . . what a treat. I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I virtually knew nothing about SK before going there 2 weeks ago. Though that doesn’t make me particularly happy, I can honestly say that I love going places that I have no idea what to expect. Well, fellow T1er, Joseph Frans, and myself made the Trans-Pacific journey on the 23rd of August, only to arrive in a place that we will never forget. Always impossible to put this all into words, so I thought a nice little slide show would be a good representation of our visit. I got hurt riding vert on the 3rd day, so riding was cut short, as well as my ability to get “out and about”. But . . . we had a blast to none the less. Thank you so much to Boosung, Ross, Jin, Randolph, and David from ISAW. We will be back for Round 2 one day. Enjoy ! – joe
* The music used for the slide show, is traditional Korean music. The 3rd to last picture shows about 12 older women sitting on the ground with drums. You guessed it, they are the ones responsible for the tune. SO GOOD !” – Joe Rich
On The Horizon: Terrible One
I can’t remember exactly when I saw a Barcode frame for the first time. It had to be about ten years ago when I was just starting to get to know some of the older guys riding in the scene around where I grew up. I remember that everyone was jealous of the guy with this bomb proof frame by Terrible One. At that time, pretty much all the older guys were riding Standard, DK, S&M or Volume frames. There were even a few guys who were on Gack’s. The thing was, it seemed like everyone still wanted that Barcode frame.
Since then, the reputation for Terrible One has held strong over all these years. They’ve been through a lot of ups and downs in that time too. Throughout it all, they were still producing high quality products. I mean there’s a reason I’m riding a T1 frame today. Because it’s a brand I trust.
Over the last year or two, things have definitely started picking back up for the brand with updated products becoming available and that elusive Cyclops stem that has been up for speculation for the better part of the last 5 years or so getting real close to its release. I figured it would be a good time to get ahold of Joe Rich to see what’s cooking these days. So let’s check out what he had to say!
