Through The Lens: 2013 Year In Review
Another year in the books and another 52 TTL features in 2013. I’ve found myself all over the place at times up late on Tuesday nights from California, to Pennsylvania and wherever else I’ve been this year writing and dialing in the week’s TTL. It’s crazy to look back after that many and see which ones got the most feedback and which ones stood out the most to me. I decided that since I am putting this one together on the last day of the year in 2013 that it only makes sense to a top ten list (in no particular order) of my favorite features of the year and give a little insight as to why. I guess in the meantime though, I would like to thank each and every person out there that has ever read a single column and anyone out there that has been down to work with me on these it really means a lot. Thank you; here’s to the New Year and the mystery of what it may bring.
Jon “Gremlin” Betchtold Bike Check
When you think about all of the gnarly shit that a BMX bike gets put through these days, it’s easy to get worried about parts snapping, cracking and popping. One dude, who I know has been putting parts through hell and back for years is The Daily Grind‘s owner, Jon “Gremlin” Betchtold, who has heard and seen all of those things happen and that’s why he went into business to create some products that are built to withstand the hell you can put them through.
We figured it was a good time to catch up with Gremlin to take a closer look at his setup that he is currently working with these days! She might be a little rough around the edges with scratches and dents, but that’s nothing but character and proof that it’s been put to the test. Let’s take a closer look!

Tyler Gilliard – Profile Freecoaster Testing
Profile Freecoaster Testing from Tyler Gilliard on Vimeo.
Tyler Gilliard is back with another video of him testing the Profile freecoaster that he designed. His last video caused concern that backpedaling would be needed to disengage the hub, but this new video shows that the issue has been corrected. That’s what testing is all about, right? The level of riding in this test video has also improved right with the hub. Impressive stuff all around.
