Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Roey 2 Tripod Seat

September 30, 2015

Fly Bikes have released a preview of the latest version of Matt Roe‘s signature Tripod seat. This seat will be available in just under a month. Full details below!

“Today we’re excited to give you a preview of the 2nd version of Matt Roe’s signature Roey Tripod seat that will be available soon! For this version, we’ve gone with a new Tripod base that is wider and longer, and given it bumpers to help resist wear and tear. We have also added thicker foam, but due to the wider and longer base, it still has the slim profile.

The Roey 2 Tripod seat will be available in black and brown leather at the end of October through Flybikes dealers worldwide!”

Mutiny Bikes – Lime Street

August 4, 2015

You know when there is a new Mutiny Bikes video featuring Matt Roe and Tom “Robbo” Robinson that you’re going to be in for a BMX video packed with pure style! As expected, Lime Street is just that… Pure street and park goodness from Liverpool for you to enjoy. Everything from the riding to the filming and editing makes this a must see video you can’t pass up!

“Liverpool, England has always been a staple for some of the UK’s more interesting spots. Armed with no pegs, one pair of brakes and Ben Lewis’ serving as spot guide, Roey and Robbo tackle the streets of Liverpool with their creative style and flow.
Filmed & Edited by Rich Forne”

2015 Van Doren Invitational Practice – Day 1

July 30, 2015

What happens when you drop a ton of guys like Chase Hawk, Greg Illingworth, Dean Cueson, Dan Foley, Maxime Charveron, Matt Roe, Larry Edgar, Kris Fox, Tom Dugan, Scotty Cranmer and a handful more of BMX’s best bowl riders (and let’s be real, most stylish) in for a session together? Amazing riding goes down. Take a look at what went down during the first day of practice for this years Van Doren Invitational in California! This contest is going to be nuts!

“Being on the deck at the 2015 Van Doren Invitational is a bit nuts… It’s essentially the most stacked bowl session of the century (with 30 of the best bowl riders in the world), and everyone has just a single hour heat to figure shit out. They somehow do figure shit out, and the result is a mixture of flowy speed, style, and tricks… Major shoutout to Larry Edgar and the triple tabletop in here, more to come tomorrow.

Red Bull – The Big Rig Holiday

July 28, 2015

Here’s one from Red Bull that we have been waiting for all week! They recently piled a unique crew of riders together in an RV for a trip around the Northwest to hit up street spots. Watch as Nathan Williams, Reed Stark, Alex Kennedy, Corey Martinez, David Grant, Christian Rigal and Matt Roe all go to work on spots with their different styles making some some amazing riding. That rail that Reed Stark does is absolutely UNREAL. It looks like he took a serious beating but didn’t let the rail win! Hell yeah, Reed!

“The great outdoors… and I’m not talking about the leafy industrial estate out of town with the awesome rails that you don’t get kicked out of. I’m going on about forests, waterfalls and one hell of a big rig ploughing its way through the great Pacific Northwest!

The great outdoors… and I’m not talking about the leafy industrial estate out of town with the awesome rails that you don’t get kicked out of. I’m going on about forests, waterfalls and one hell of a big rig ploughing its way through the great Pacific Northwest!

The plan was simple, well, to be honest it was non-existent; take eight friends, both old and new, meet up in Portland, Oregon. Then pile everyone into a 40-foot-long RV and see what happens!

The heavily-laden RV consisted of a pretty eclectic list of names, including Nathan Williams, Reed Stark, Alex Kennedy, Corey Martinez, David Grant, Christian Rigal, and Matt Roe.

The ‘plan’ was so loose that we hadn’t even decided on which direction to take.
After some deliberation and many blank faces we set the compass for south and headed for Salem and Eugene and possibly some of the smaller towns along the way. We soon realised this was probably the worst idea we could have come up with…

Driving an enormous recreational vehicle into small peaceful towns with eight dudes hanging out of every window obviously didn’t go down too well, let alone help with finding spots and being able to ride them long enough to film a clip! Needless to say, we encountered our fair share of small town cop mentalities and bafflingly idiotic reasoning. But despite that we got some pretty amazing bike riding documented in between our troubles, and Reed got his crazy 180-degree curved rail in Eugene, so it wasn’t all in vain.”

Goodwood Festival of Speed 2015

July 3, 2015

Here’s a short but sweet one from this years Goodwood Festival over in the UK! Get a look at Chris Doyle, Mike ‘Hucker’ Clark, Ben Wallace, Matt Roe, Kye Forte, Leo Forte, Corey Bohan, Tom Justice and Harry Main spending some time jumping the dirt jumps and riding the wood quarter. Based off the footage, this was more of a good time since the trains and doubles action look to be pretty far from serious. Still some great riding in this, as you would expect from a crew like this!

Sneak Peek: Fly Bikes – Mat Roe Signature “Roey” Grip

June 26, 2015

Fly Bikes just released a sneak peek look at Matt Roe‘s new “Roey” signature grip that will be available later this year. This grip has a similar look as the A’me Tri grip that was super popular in the ’80’s and is still available today, but with a few more modern touches. Looks good to us!

“This week are excited to give you guys a few sneak peek photos of the new Mat Roe signature Roey grip that will be available later this year. We were working with Mat on grip designs and we started talking about the A´me Tri grip and how much we loved that design. In the end, we decided to do a more modern version of the grip with a few slight changes as a bit of a tribute to one of the great grip designs.

The A´me Tri grip is still available for those of you looking for the original, but we will be offering our version in black, Military green, orange and one other special colorway that we will be announcing closer to the release of our 2016 line later this year.”

Check out two more close up shots after the jump!
