Albert Mercado – ToasterVision Edit from Shadow Conspiracy on Vimeo.
I don’t get the Toaster Vision thing, but here Albert Mercado puts his own spin on spots all over San Diego for his latest Shadow edit. There is some real creative stuff in here, I’m really digging it!
It’s that time of the year already when brands are starting to drop their back to school apparel for you to get fresh with! The Shadow Conspiracy just dropped this brand new flipbook giving you a look at all of their new stuff from t-shirts to flannels, pants, jackets, hoodies, tank tops, backpacks, hats and more! Take a flip through this because I know you’re going to want a bunch of this stuff like me!
Hit up the Frenchy’s Distribution website to check out a fresh bike check with Mutiny Bikes and The Shadow Conspiracy‘s Adrien Lecomte! Such a dialed ride!
It’s a bummer that Seth Kimbrough didn’t make it out on this trip to Ecuador, but it looks like Simone Barraco and Ryan Chadwick held their own. Take a look at the riding that Simone got in along with the surprising big BMX scene down there in this new video from The Shadow Conspiracy
“After a freak accident sidelined Seth Kimbrough the day before his flight, it was up to Simone Barraco and TM Ryan Chadwick to make the most of Quito, Ecuador on their own. Battling altitude sickness, highly unpredictable weather, and a travel schedule that would wear anyone out, the crew powered through and came away with this brand new Shadow edit.
A huge thanks go out to all the Ecuador locals, Marco and his family from Zona Extrema, Fernando De La Torre and Carolina Donoso, and the Ministerio del Deporte!

Over the last couple of years, forks have changed a fair amount. Heat-treating started becoming more and more popular, drop out sizes became smaller in size while allowing plenty of peg clearance for improved grinding, steeper offsets have become increasingly popular thanks to nose manuals, hang fives and more front end tricks getting popular, legs have been tapered and butted, made wider to fit fat 20×2.35″ tires and plenty of other small changes to make them better.
One fork in particular has been standing out to me for a little over a year now, and that’s the Captive fork from The Shadow Conspiracy that not only features a lot of those things I listed above, but a one of a kind enclosed drop out with inserts allowing for multiple offsets being the biggest thing that makes this one stand out.
This design has really been on my check list for quite a while of things to find out about, so I decided it was time I get ahold of Ronnie Bonner to find out just what this fork is all about, what went into the design and how they got it done! Take a look at the full interview below!
The Shadow Conspiracy have a real good deal for you to keep the summer going strong for you! Hit up their WEB STORE for a grab bag with 2 shirts, a snap back, 5 stickers and a poster for $29.99! This will only be available for a limited time so get on it now!
Ride BMX caught up with Subrosa and The Shadow Conspiracy‘s Scott Ditchburn to get the low down on crooked grinds! Take a peek at what he had to say along with plenty of examples then go strap on another peg and send one!
Seth Kimbrough – Noctis Cranks from Shadow Conspiracy on Vimeo.
Shadow has been making Seth Kimbrough’s signature Noctis cranks for a while now, but if you’ve wanted to know why you should consider these aluminum cranks over the sea of chromoly cranks on the market, Seth will let you know what’s up. Seth doesn’t just talk about them, he also puts them to use in some riding clips as well. Eric Bahlman, Caleb Quanbeck, and Albert Mercado are fans of the cranks too, so they jumped in and contributed some clips also.
