“YES! It’s finally (nearly) here – the ‘Still United’ DVD has been in the works for the last two years now and you can get a quick tease for what’s in store right here. We’ve been blessed to have been along for most of the ride the past few years and we can honestly say this will be incredible. With the likes of Nathan Williams, Corey Martinez, Christian Rigal and more filming for this for such a long period you can rest assured that it’s all out of hand nuts. Shout out to Peter Adam for creating this gem and Ian Morris for dedicating so much to a full-length DVD project.” – DIG

This tire in particular features a low profile, grippy tread with a U pattern along the sides and a smooth center pattern for minimal rolling resistance. The sidewalls are smooth to help keep you from catching on grinds as well. The U-Slick has a 110 Max PSI rating, comes in sizes of 2.20″ and 2.35″ with colors of Military green, grey, white with black wall and all black and a weight of 22.5 oz. (2.20″)

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
