United – Fernando Laczko “Up North Down South”

It has been quite some time since we’ve seen a new video from Fernando Laczko due to him having knee surgery and taking time to recover properly. Now that he’s back, it looks like he’s feeling good on his bike and ended up taking most of the past year to film this BANGER of a video for United! Everything about this from the riding to the spots, filming and editing are on point, and you will definitely not want to miss this one! Hit play and enjoy. Hopefully this means we’ll be seeing plenty more of Fernando in 2019!

“Following on from a year long ACL and meniscus recovery, United’s Fernando Laczko was ready to go in hard on a video, and after nine months of filming it turned out to be one of his best to date. Shot throughout Spain – Fernando definitely pushed the boat out on this one. Gap to grinds galore!” – DIG

“The whole idea to film with Gonzalo was because I just came back from a recovery and wanted to take as much time as I needed to work on a video. I usually go on one week trips where the video needs to be finished after that. The last time I had the chance to take my time was for my welcome to United video.

This was filmed over a duration of 9 months and has taken us all around Spain. From me going back and forth to Madrid and Gonzalo taking trips down here, we did a 7 day trip from Vigo to Madrid stopping in different cities such as Bilbao and Pamplona.

For me it’s more than a web video. If someone asked me to film a video part for a dvd I would give them this. I had that thought in my head while filming it if you know what I mean?

It was almost like I was filming an imaginary video part for myself. My “mentality” had finally returned after one year of ACL and meniscus recovery, I could finally ride without having the worry in the back of my mind.

I picked Gonzalo cuz’ he’s the man in Spain to film with. We became friends while he was filming a homie and I knew I wanted to work on something with him ever since.” – Fernando Laczko

United – The Purge Stem

1 Comment

Is it time for a new BMX Stem? Here’s a look at the new The Purge stem from United. The stem looks like your regular topload stem, but they’ve actually designed it so the front of the top plate actually touches the bottom of the stem where normally that isn’t something you want to do. They’ve done this to improve clamping and helps ensure that your bars are even. Get the full scoop from United below!

“Everyone knows that resetting your bars is the worst possible thing. It takes forever for your mind to agree that the bars feel how they did before slipping. We wanted to design a stem that clamped tight and evenly at that. We had seen stem bolts snap from a rocky plate and uneven tightening. With the PURGE stem we wanted strength and durability so we went with a fully CNC 6061 Ali block including a CNC’d United graphic on the side. You will notice the clamping system clamps completely shut up front. This is to stop the uneven tightening. Simply tighten the front bolts to lock your bars in place evenly then clamp down on the back to fully secure your bars in place.

The stem comes with a 49mm reach and a 34mm rise. Giving you the option to ditch those ugly headset spacers and tidy up the look of your bike.” – United

Color: Black or Polished.
Material: Full CNC Machined 6061 Alloy
Reach: 49mm
Rise: 34mm

NIGHT SHIFT – Emerson Morgan X Harry Mills-Wakley

Leave a Comment

Emerson Morgan and Harry Mills Wakley teamed up for some winter night sessions! Here’s a look at what they’ve been getting into while out cruising spots in this new video for United. Take a look!

“You’re in the middle of winter, it’s dark before going to work, it’s dark when you finish. The weather is consistently shit, your fingers are close to falling off due to the cold and the motivation to even leave the house is a struggle at best. Emerson Morgan and Harry Mills-Wakley on the other hand have different plans for the winter. They took on the “Night Shift” and kept things alive during the bleakest time of the year. It’s quite a task to film enough during the summer let alone the winter. Donned with the night light there was no stopping these two! Filmed on the streets of Bristol, England between November and January we give you the Night Shift.” – DIG

United BMX – Freddie Househam and the Knightsbridge

United coming through with a fresh promo for their new Knightsbridge frame featuring Freddie Househam…

The crew over at United released this short but sweet promo featuring Freddie Househam putting the new Knightsbridge frame to good use in the woods! This video gives you a good look at the frame, and some great riding. After you give the video a watch, scroll down and take a look at photos and full specs of the frame!

“After a surge of big air and big trails becoming a more prolific stance in BMX we thought it would make perfect sense to design up a big booster. Australian connect Tyson Jones-Peni and Epsom trail boss Freddie Househam did the numbers and came up with the dimensions for the all new KNIGHTSBRIDGE frame.

Coming in at the bigger end of the spectrum, the Knightsbridge is designed to roost! Starting at 21.125 and working its way all up to 21.625 this frame is an absolute weapon. Thickened tubing throughout to keep your mind at ease for those inevitable hang-ups, widened BB for extra sprocket clearance on those who like to run a bigger sprocket. Double S bend chain stay for added tyre clearance and a 13.9” back end. Welded brake lugs and cable guiding for the anchors. Finished off in gloss Merlot Red or gloss raw with graphics drawn by Tyson himself and to give a nod at the TRU frame we have opted to go with a head tube badge rather than sticker.

Specs:
4130 Seamless Sanko Japanese Tubing
Butted and tapered tubing throughout

TT: 21.125” 21.375” 21.625”
HT: 74.4

This is jam packed with excellent riding and spots, and Alex Valentino crushed it with the filming and editing! You won’t want to pass this one up!

“Harry Mills-Wakley, Tom Deville, Fernando Laczko, Jordan O’Kane, and Fooman travel to the French city of Toulouse to sample over eight centuries of architecture. The guys come through with some serious heat in this and with teammate Alex Valentino in tow behind the camera, needless to say, it’s a pleasure on the eyes.

“The all new Incarnate frame. Designed to have a responsive and stiffened back end with the all-new ultra slim cast wishbone. Tested extensively through CAD aided machine work software to implement extreme force and handed to team riders to give a good battering. Shallower pitched seat tube angle to move the bottom bracket forward making the feel of the bike smaller without changing the top tube length.

13” slammed back end with thickened chain stays. Top and Down tube gussets for extra strength out the front. Relatively steep head tube angle at 75.5 to keep front-end tricks responsive. Finished in flat trans brown and flat trans smoked black.” – United BMX
