The other day, our friend Kris Kim hit us up talking about how the Strangeways Vol. 2 DVD didn’t quite get the attention he felt it deserved. After picking up a copy and watching it over and over again, he decided maybe it would be cool to put together a review so more people can find out just how good the video really is. We gave Kris the chance to put his thoughts together and he came through with a real solid review that I think might make you think twice about this video from the U.K that you might not have seen yet. Let’s see what he had to say…

Baco – “Push It To 11: The Bits of Baco” Trailer
The other week, I got a little sneak preview of the new BACO “Push It To 11: The Bits of Baco” documentary and it was hands down one of the best BMX films I’ve ever watched. This video lets you in on everything that went on creating the 10 legendary videos that riders from around the world were influenced and shocked by. The box set is dropping August 5th and I HIGHLY, HIGHLY advise you pre-order a copy now. You will NOT be disappointed!

“Push It To 11: the Bits of Baco” is a new 80 minute documentary movie about the history of the BacoVision video series and its wild group of BMX founders from Wisconsin.”
Darryl Tocco Bike Check

I don’t know if it’s obvious or not, but I’m a super big Darryl Tocco fan. Everything about his riding gets me so stoked from the beyond perfect barspins to the smoothest hurricanes in the business — It’s all so good. We recently caught wind that he would have a new signature colorway coming out for the Kink Titan frame and figured he would be building up a new bike soon. So we hit him up and sure enough he just built up a fresh ride not too long ago that was looking too damn good not to do a bike check. Let’s take a closer look at this bike, find out what else is new with the guy and then watch his brand new Kink edit!
Name: Darryl Tocco

Evolutions: BMX Seats and Posts
After we dropped that Evolutions of the Seat Post Clamp post the other week, we heard a lot of really positive feedback from people that were just psyched to see all the changes and be reminded of their past. We also got a pretty good discussion going on BIKEGUIDE that lead to us talking about other parts that would be cool to look back on.
I kept thinking about all the changes we have seen and I think one of the easiest (well, they’re all pretty easy to see) things to see a huge change in are the seats and posts on our bikes. Not only because of the different technology, but also just how trends have affected the way BMX seats have been designed over the years.
Before I get into this, I want to say this is NOT supposed to be an exact history and more or less a nostalgic look at the past and how far we’ve come (or stepped back) over the past 10 years or so. Alright, let’s do this!
