The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
As promised, every Saturday, we’re back at it again with another round of Products: that is loaded with BMX goodness for you to check out! This week we’ll be taking a closer look at the new Inceptiv fork from The Shadow Conspiracy, the Flip hub from Stolen Bike Co., the Tractor chain from Fly Bikes, the DeHart X Native pivotal seat from Cult and then we’ll wrap things up with Mark Mulville’s Silva II frame from Subrosa. Ready? Let’s do this!
The Shadow Conspiracy puts a lot of time and effort into supporting good things for BMX… I mean, they are a big supporter of The Union! One thing they have been doing lately is supporting parks and shops through their Keep It Local tours and in the process have been sponsoring a few parks that are doing things right. They recently started supporting The Wheel Mill out in Pittsburgh! Check out more about this right here to see just why!
There has been a lot of talk about tires lately. I don’t know what has lead to it, but it has, for the most part, been a good thing. Over the years, tires have changed quite a bit thanks to trends, riding styles and the use of different materials that stepped away from the traditional tires we saw for years. After 4 years, The Shadow Conspiracy decided it was time to take their popular Undertaker tire to the drawing board and give it a modern revamp. After a lot of research, design and testing… The Valor tire was released.
The Shadow Conspiracy caught up with Simone Barraco to talk about his new signature Strada tire and to stack some damn good clips for this new video! They even tossed in a few extra clips from the team for good measure. This is one video you do NOT want to skip!
“Watch and listen as Shadow pro Simone Barraco gives you the run down on the development of his signature Shadow Strada tires coupled with some amazing riding.

One of the biggest perks to working in the BMX industry is that there’s a good chance you will be riding a dialed bike with all the latest and greatest from the brands you represent. One of the perks of running your own brand is that you can ride a dialed bike with all the parts you spent months and months working on developing from idea to the final product. Ryan Sher has been riding some real nice bikes over his career and you better believe as brand manager for Subrosa he is keeping his bike running smooth with all the latest parts they’re cooking up down in Florida. Ryan just built himself up a brand new Villicus Prime II, so we figured it was more than a perfect chance to catch up and get a look at this unit he’s running these days! Let’s get to it!

Bike Check at Candyland Skatepark from Francisco Jimenez on Vimeo.
Francisco Jimenez is an Orlando local that has been getting some support from Sparkys for a while. Take a look at his well ridden rig comprised of all Shadow and Subrosa goods. The riding clips in here are pretty chill by his standards, but be on the lookout for more from him in the future.
