Sneak Peek: United Bike Co. – Mike Escamilla Frame with Bash Guard

January 7, 2016

The other day we caught a quick glimpse of this frame and for one reason or another thought it was just a random one off frame somebody had S&M or somebody else make. Then today we noticed a blog Brian Tunney wrote about the frame and we realized this is actually a prototype signature frame that United Bike Co. is working on with Mike Escamilla that will be available sooner than later. We’ve seen the bash guard make appearances multiple times over BMX’s short history, between frames that came with them and some after market ones like the guard Fly Bikes and Ruben Alcantara worked on, to that BMX Grind Bottom Bracket Guard we haven’t heard anything about or seen anyone riding. A lot of older guys talk about how BMX trends tend to go in circles… Things that were popular fade out, then years later come back stronger than before. Maybe this will be the revival of the integrated bash guard? We’ll just have to wait and see how things go when this frame comes out. Expect more details once it’s closer to release! It sounds like there is a nylon bash plate that is attached to the tubing that goes around the bottom bracket, so you’ll be sliding smooth.

“SNEAK PEAK! United and I have been working on a signature frame for the past 8 months. Here’s the prototype frame without the nylon bashplate. Although lately you have been seeing a few one off bashguard bikes this will be full production and available soon. With all the riders running no pegs I can’t wait to see who drops in and delivers original new grinds and ideas! Stayed tuned for more info and pics!” – @MikeEscamilla

Quicky: Christian Rigal

July 31, 2015

It’s pretty rad seeing how riders are able to balance out multiple roles in BMX these days. Christian Rigal is a perfect example of that who is one hell of an amazing rider, but he’s equally as dialed on the other side of the lens as well. There’s no doubt that you’re a fan of his riding, his film work or both. With that being said, between riding and filming, Christian is constantly on the move working on projects from his section for the new United DVD “Still United” section to getting his new RED Scarlet Dragon camera dialed in. We haven’t caught up with him in a little while, so we figured now would be a perfect time to catch up with him and see what’s new! There’s some Markit news that we’re especially excited about… Check it!
