ESPN’s behind the scenes series on The Shadow Conspiracy comes to a conclusion today. I’ve loved the whole thing and I think it does a great job representing what Ronnie and all of the guys are about. Even if you missed the others, this can stand alone and make sense by itself.
Shadow – Caleb Quanbeck Cali Bound Edit

It seems that Caleb Quanbeck is taking his time getting from his old home of Portland to his new home in California, and in that time he’s already collected enough clips for a new Shadow edit. Imagine how fast the edits will come once he makes it to Cali!
Insight: The Shadow Conspiracy – Turn It Up To 11 Complete Bike
This past year, The Shadow Conspiracy celebrated their 10 year anniversary. They did things big by having their entire team out for the Banned Jam and threw a massive party along with that… But how to you celebrate 11 years? That’s where the Turn It Up to 11 limited edition bike came into the picture. Over the years, Shadow has grown and developed their products line to cover every part on your bike. We’re not talking about some cheap knock off stuff either, we’re talking about the good stuff… Things like the Interlock chain that has changed BMX for the better.
Shadow figured it would be rad to put together a complete bike decked out with all their top end aftermarket parts (and even a few limited to this bike alone!) on a custom Subrosa Noster frame creating one hell of a masterpiece that shows off just what they’re producing after all these years of hard work.
We’ve seen photos of the Turn It Up To 11 bike floating around for a little while now, but really nothing super in-depth as to what it has on it. I’ve been wanting to find out more about the bike for a bit now, so I decided to get ahold of the guys over at Shadow to get a closer look at just what makes this bike special just in time for its release. Let’s get into it!
Behind The Scenes – The Shadow Conspiracy: Part 3
Ronnie B and the whole Sparky’s crew are the real deal. In this part of the BTS series, the team talks about Mr. Bonner’s insane around the clock work ethic and the sense of family amongst the team riders.
Mark Burnett Interview

Mark is one of those young guns who has been popping up for the past year or so in the Daily Section. We’ve seen a handful of edits out of him and in that time his riding has really progressed a substantial amount… So much that he was able to get the attention of Sunday and Shadow, who he was recently added to the flow team for both brands. We figured by now there’s gotta be a few people out there wondering just who this kid is, so we caught up with him to find out all about him! Get familiar because I have a feeling we will be seeing plenty more of Mark in the future!
Name: Mark Burnett

Products: Vol. 60
After 60 of these columns, it’s getting a little tricky to come up with a unique intro for this. There’s a few things that remain the same after all this time though… It’s Saturday morning, I’m drinking coffee and, like all of you, I’m looking to get out and ride! So let’s get into this weeks round of Products: so we can take a closer look at a few fresh must have items and then get out and cruise. Ready? Alright!
This week we’re going to take a look the new softgoods from Cult, the Stream fork from Eclat, the new Shadow Conspiracy X Pro-Tec collaboration helmet, Profile Racing‘s 22MM Galaxy Spline Drive sprocket and the Orto bottom bracket from 34R. Let’s get into this!
Product: Shadow Conspiracy X Pro-Tec Helmet
Let’s face it… By now if you don’t know the benefits of wearing a helmet while riding, you should probably be slapped. I know, I know… It’s not “cool” or whatever. Well, it just got a little cooler… The Shadow Conspiracy have teamed up with Pro-Tec for a collaboration helmet that I think you will be stoked on. Below you can find out a little bit about the helmet and where you can pick one up…
“We’re super stoked with the new Shadow x Pro-tec collaboration helmet design. We set out to make a helmet inspired by how the Shadow pro team rocks the decals on their helmets and added some cool subtle details to make it truly Shadow. Printed blood splatter on the inside of the straps, red foam padding, and tone on tone gloss splatter crow head on outside of helmet make this helmet look awesome without being over the top. These are available now at your favorite local dealer world wide or on the interwebs at Dan’s Competition.”
Behind The Scenes – The Shadow Conspiracy: Part 2
Part two of ESPN BMX‘s Behind The Scenes series with The Shadow Conspiracy continues. This time they talk more about the image of the brand along with the products like the classic Interlock chain and more! This is part 2 of 4 so expect more soon!
