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!

Shadow Conspiracy – Simone Barraco’s Ecuador Adventure Edit
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!

Insight: Shadow Conspiracy – Captive Fork
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!
