The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
The new Woodgrain parts from United Bike Co. will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders around the world any day now. We figured it would be a good time to give you a run through on the full specs and details on the Supreme Stem and Valentino Pedals that will be coming in this color! You can get full specs, details & more photos below!
The United Bike Co. team recently loaded up and took a trip on over to France to spend a few days cruising spots and stacking clips! DIG just released this raw cut of footage featuring the crew going to work on spots. As you can imagine, with a crew like the United team, they had no trouble coming up with some amazing riding on the spots they did end up coming across. Hell, they even got Ian Morris to slide a big rail to get his heart racing. Hit that play button and take it all in! This is a BMX video that’s well worth watching from start to finish.
“Loading up a van with bikes and hitting the road with a (very) loose plan has been a staple in BMX since the beginning. For the latest United filming trip we did exactly that, driving from the South of England to the South of France with bossman Ian Morris, young guns Harry Mills-Wakley and Fernando Laczko… and picking up ‘The French Connexion’ of Alex Valentino, Tom Deville and Nico Terrez on the way and temporary Frenchman Corey Martinez. With kilometres covered, injuries sustained, new friends made, fields slept in and footage collected for their ongoing ‘Still United’ project, it had all the ups and downs of a classic BMX road trip. Le Bangers are being held back for the DVD, until then enjoy the rest of the footage collected over our week through France via our latest DIG ‘In The Cut’ video.

Earlier today, United Bike Co. released a video and flipbook giving us a look at their brand new TRU frame that is available now. We were digging it, so we figured it would be a good idea to give you guys a closer look! The TRU frame is made right here in the USA by FBM out of 4130 chromoly with a 74.4-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.5″ bottom bracket height, 9″ stand over height and a 13.36″ – 13.9″ (21″) and 13.7″ – 14.11″ (21.25″ & 21.5″) chain stay lengths.
The TRU frame features a heat-treated head tube, MID bottom bracket and drop outs, a gusset on the down tube, a custom cast Pewter head tube badge (BEAUTIFUL), bullet tipped seat and chain stays, an integrated seat post clamp and the options of removable brake mounts on the seat or chain stays or welded on brake mounts on the chain stays. This frame is designed to fit 30 – 33 tooth sprockets (and smaller) and the rear end will fit 2.30″ tires. The frame is available in 21″, 21.25″ and 21.5″ top tube lengths with a weight of 5.3 lbs. (21.5″) and comes in colors of clear coat raw, translucent black and translucent green.
The TRU frame is VERY limited edition. Only 100 of these are available worldwide, so if you’re digging this… You need to get on ordering one ASAP.

Here’s one we just spotted over on Can You Dig It! The long awaited Tru trails frame from United Bike Co. is OUT NOW. Check out this promo video featuring Tyson Jones-Peni roasting his local trails with pure style, then check out the flipbook below for a better look at the frame.
“Since the KL40 frames were retired back in 2010, we have been looking to fill the void and have a frame that is truly at home in the woods. We put the word out to our riders and by working with the fine folks at FBM, they handcrafted us this beauty in New York with options to suit even the saltiest of trail dogs. One rider that helped a ton with the input on this one was Tyson Jones-Peni and here he talks you through what trails and trail riding mean to him.

United released this video featuring Jack Birtles and Tyson Jones-Peni from a trip to a trails jam they took down in Australia. This one is more about the vibe and good times versus the riding. It’s a BMX video well worth checking out though. Plus, there’s a little street and skatepark action at the end as well.
“Our Australian United riders Jack Birtles and Tyson Jones-Peni head west on a road trip that’ll make you feel good about getting out there on your bike. These guys are doing it right.
