Eclat – Shane Weston “Moon Grip” Promo
Eclat dropped this new promo video featuring Shane Weston and his signature grip. I normally hate dropping hints of what’s in the edit, but that fricken bunny hop cannonball blew my mind! And that’s just one of the wild tricks in the video…
“A while ago we started working on a different kind of grip, but we wanted to make something a little more special than the standard flange design. We were experimenting with rubber compounds and grip patterns when Shane got involved and told us he’d be really into a flangeless grip with a symmetrical shape that had a bigger, chunky grip pattern. The circular grip design was underway, but everything dropped into place when we added a sand-blasted texture to the grip. Suddenly they weren’t circles any more, but craters on the surface of the moon! Shane was really into it and so the Moon grip was born.
As this grip had such a unique look there was no way we could use our normal bar end with it. So, with Shane we worked up a design which blended perfectly into the style and shape of the grip and the rest is history.
The final compound is a really soft 23° durameter, high quality Kraton rubber. It’s both soft and comfy but at the same time feels sticky with loads of grip. At 150mm long it looks awesome on a wider bar, and the tighter 19mm internal diameter means there’s plenty of life in them too!
This is the first product in the Shane Weston series, expect something really special in 2012.

We Have Motive – Shane Weston – Seven and Seven
The We Have Motive guys have been killing it. Check out their latest seven and seven featuring Shane Weston!
“Shane Weston is undeniably one of the most original riders on the scene today. We recently caught up with Shane at home in Tennessee and hit him up for a quick seven & seven interview just before he left for an Eclat BMX trip.
This video shows exactly why Shane does things different from most riders. He came through with a bit of a twist for his tricks in this one by making all the tricks flatland specific , making this another unique edit from an absolutely awesome person.
Big thanks to Shane for doing this interview and an even bigger “Thank You” goes to Jeremie Infelise for taking the time to film & edit this sweet vid!” – We Have Motive
