Dan’s Comp Pro Team: Devon Smillie Pre-Surgery – More BMX Videos

It sucks that Devon Smillie had to get some knee surgery and he will be out for a while, but at least we have this damn good video that dropped before to enjoy! This is one you won’t want to miss!

“Devon recently went under the knife to get his knee repaired, but stacked a bunch of amazing street clips beforehand. Watch this, get stoked, buy Devon’s new signature stuff, and wish him a speedy recovery.

Sneak Peek: Subrosa – Villicus Prime II Frame

January 17, 2014

Here’s a little sneak peek for you guys! Hoang Tran’s signature Villicus Prime frame from Subrosa got some changes for the new year! Check out a few words about the changes from them below and then start saving since this will be out in MARCH!

“The longest running frame in the Subrosa line up just got better; again. Spec wise Hoang wanted more pop out of his bike, so we shortened the rear end to 13.5, 13.25 fully slammed. We also added our new custom Subrosa cast seat stay bridge so you can rock the Subrosa logo loud and proud! We added thicker chain stays to resist denting and increase strength, and removed some of the features that didn’t help with the function of the bike to reduce cost, making this the strongest most affordable Villicus to date. Available mid-March.”

Subrosa – More Noster II Frame Sneak Peeks

January 16, 2014

Subrosa gave us our first look at the Noster II last week, and now today they have revealed more details of the frame:

“Subrosa pro rider Simone Barraco did some fine tuning of his wildly popular Subrosa Noster frame to create the Noster II. This frame caters to the tech street riding that he is known for, but is strong enough to handle big drops and gaps. Simone wanted a slightly steeper headtube so we adjusted it to 75.5° and we made the dropouts smaller to fit flush with small diameter pegs so the won’t bend or hang up during grinds. We also made this frame in a brakeless version only, providing a super clean look, and that also allowed us to widen the rear end to fit the widest tires available.
The Subrosa Noster II will be available in April. Stay tuned to the site for more info soon.”

Through The Lens: Last Days in California with Brandon Dosch

January 15, 2014

Well here it is… The one I have been waiting for. I have been talking about this column for months and months now. Every time I mention to someone that I write a weekly column and tell them how many weeks that I’ve been doing it for it reminds me how crazy it is. I can’t recall anything that I’ve done specifically and routinely for 100 weeks in a row and I think that goes for most people. That is why this column is one to remember. For this week I had the chance to catch up with Brandon Dosch and interview him before he starts on his next chapter in life in a new State. Brandon is an amazing rider and has been killing it for years. He has the drive and determination to progress and continue to push his riding forward for a long time to come. He wants to give back to BMX, and understands the importance of making riding look appealing to the younger generation. Take a few minutes to see what he had to say and thank you to everyone who has been down with TTL since this column started. Here’s to 100!
