Mat Hoffman Bamboo Bike Check

March 20, 2014

If you follow Mat on Instagram ( @CondorBMX ), there’s a good chance you have been seeing some photos of his latest creation that he has been working on… again… popping up. If you haven’t caught on by the title or the photo above, Mat has been experimenting of the possibility of using bamboo as a feasible material for BMX. The bike itself looks pretty crazy, but based on what we’ve been hearing it sounds like this isn’t as crazy as it looks. If there’s one thing we know, Mat isn’t scared to try new things and BMX is in a much better place product and riding wise because of it.
With each photo we saw on Instagram, we started getting super curious as to just what Mat was working on. We were able to catch up with him to find out just what started this whole bamboo bike idea and learn a little bit about the results that Mat has seen so far! Let’s take a peek!

Product: Profile Racing – 14mm Elite Hubs – Out Now

March 20, 2014

Here it is! We got our first look at these 14mm Elite hubs from Profile Racing last month at Frostbike, and now they’re available for everyone! The Elite hub is CNC machined right here in the U.S out of aluminum and features a ratchet ring with a one-piece chromoly 9 or 10 tooth driver with 6 pawls creating 204 points of engagement and sounds like a swarm of bees when you are riding and 5 sealed bearings to keep you rolling smooth. Now they have added the option of running a 14mm male axle for those of you who want to run the hub, but would also like to grind without the fear of wrecking the female axles.

You can pick this hub up in right or left side drive with colors of black, polished, matte black, red, blue, gold, green, purple, white and aqua for right side drive or in black and polished with only a 9-tooth driver option for left side drive (for now) or for existing Elite hub owners, a 14mm conversion kit has been made available that includes the axle, cones and jam nuts.

You can find out more about these hubs by clicking here or you can have your local shop hit up Profile Racing directly to get you one ordered up today!

Subrosa‘s Mark Mulville wanted to do something special for the release of his Silva II frame. So they teamed up with his sponsor, Emmitt BMX to do a special colorway and sticker kit that turned out so rad.

This frame has a heat treated head tube, bottom bracket and drop outs, double butted top and down tubes, a gusset on the down tube, curved seat and chain stay bridges for bigger tire clearance, flattened stays at the drop outs for hub guard clearance, removable brake mounts and an integrated seat post clamp. You can pick this frame up in 20.5″, 20.75″ and 21″ top tube sizes with the limited edition translucent black colorway with special graphics. More photos RIGHT HERE.

Paul Shariff 2014 Edit

March 20, 2014

Hooooooly hell… I knew Paul Shariff was good, but DAMN is this video out of control. This video progressively gets gnarlier and gnarlier, so I would advise you watch the whole thing to prepare yourself for the hammers at the end. This kid kills it on a BMX bike!

“Fifteen year old Paul Shariff has been putting in hard work for the past few months in order to put out this edit. From huge roof drops to super clean smooth riding, this kid can do it all. Aside from a few clips in Texas, this whole edit was filmed in Northern California.

Juanje Trujillo – Born to BMX

March 19, 2014

Going into this video, I had no idea who Juanje Trujillo was… But I quickly realized there is something very special about his riding. Juanje is out there riding with one arm! Check him out putting in work on street spots and his local parks! I am willing to bet you will forget he is working at a disadvantage pretty quick when you see what he’s able to do! Hell yeah, Juanje! So stoked to see him out there not letting it keep him off a bike!

Sneak Peek: Shape Bicycles – Seat Post Clamp

March 18, 2014

SHAPE_BICYCLES_SEATCLAMP

It’s been a while since we’ve seen any sort of special focus on the seat post clamp on a bike. It’s a very basic part, but there are plenty of things that can be done to make it unique. Shape Bicycles over in France have been working on their new clamp for a little while now and decided it would be cool to show you what they’re working on. This clamp is made from AG3 aluminum and is cut using a water jet, which believe it or not is less expensive than actual CNC machining. After that, they gave it some chemical engraving for both styles of logos on the front, and the Shape logo on the top in the back. Finally, they sand and polish each clamp by hand giving it that clean look and slide in the M5 stainless steel bolt to keep that post of yours tight.

This clamp is still in prototype stages, so it currently is unavailable, but I would assume they will be out soon.
Until then, you can find out more about Shape Bicycles and their products by visiting their website
