Product: United X Bicycle Union Frame

June 10, 2011

No, not a collaboration with the site. United teamed up with the actual brand Bicycle Union over in the U.K for this collaboration frame. There are no details on the specs, but it will be available in this pearl black and Rushmore red. The frame will be available in the U.K soon and worldwide shortly after that. Looks real good.

EDIT: Update
“So a few of you have been asking about frame specs, here they are-we went for classic geometry here, heres the brass!

Jed Mildon: World’s First Triple Backflip Story

May 31, 2011

“unitriders.com

On 28 May 2011 Unit BMX rider Jed Mildon attempted and successfully landed the first-ever Triple Backflip on a bike in his hometown of Taupo, New Zealand. In just three days the videos of Jed’s incredible achievement have reached almost 4 million views online, cementing his name into action-sports folklore.

This new video takes you behind the scenes of the whole project to give you an idea of the commitment it’s taken Jed to accomplish the Triple Backflip. Jed might’ve made the final successful jump look easy, but what it has taken him to reach that point is far from it. NZ rider Jake Prebble joins Jed at the main event, and throws down some massive front flip tricks as well.
