KVLT Klips 10!
Lots of good stuff goin on in here from everyone. I never get tired of watching this style of riding and im real excited that Matt made it to number 10 of this series. Antonyos got crazy style, even his sliders look sick.
D.J. Mull in Portland
DJ is out in Portland, Oregon for vacation and you know he’s making the most of it. Living it up and killing local spots. From what he has told me, he’s loving every minute there and has shown great interest in the place. Will Portland have a new resident shredder? Stay posted.
SPIKE HI BAR
Breakbrake17 / Spike put together a mini edit with Wonder at their local park to promote their Hi Bar. Keep your eyes peeled on this crew, lots of new things in the works for 2012!
The entire team has been riding these bars for quite a while without any hiccups or complaints. They come in blue, black, and flashy chrome. They are plenty wide and have a comfortable backsweep as well. For the time being, I can’t see myself riding any bars but these.
WE LOVE SPIKE HI BAR part 1 from breakbrake17 on Vimeo.
Bike Check – Radio Bombtrack
Radio Bikes is a company based out of Cologne, Germany. They currently have a large selection of BMX bikes and components in their line, and in the last couple years have been busting into the Fixed Gear Freestyle market (Mainly in Europe). I have been in touch with the folks who are spearheading the Bombtrack project and I find they are very knowledgeable and excited about the future of Fixed Freestyle; not something I expected from a company with a rich BMX history. It turns out the people behind this particular frame are fixed riders. Their sponsored rider, Simon “Gomok” Andraca has played a big part in development and it really shows.
The Bombtrack is in-line with all of the current necessities of a modern fixed freestyle bike. It features a negative bb drop, sloping top tube, 14mm dropouts, it comfortably fits 2.3 inch tires and 26″ wheels. I have been able to feel a positive difference when it comes to 180’s, full cabs, and hops in general. I am loving the S&M 5″ rise bars. They are super wide, high, and strong. Thanks to Shad at GOODS BMX for helping me find the right bar/stem combo! Another new component that I need to mention is the Zontrac straps; they hold their shape amazing and are the thickest, stiffest straps I have ridden thus far.

Drop Bars Not Bombs – The Video
One summer afternoon, riding in downtown Seattle with good friends. We had just finished up a Zlog photo shoot and all decided to rip through the city on fast bikes while wearing Drop Bars Not Bombs shirts. I hope to get more fast bike edits together in the future.

Leader Says Farewell to Montoya
I was over at the Leader website today and Matt Montoya’s into video was posted with this message.
Here you see Matt Montoya in his Welcome Edit as we wish him a fond farewell today. Matt rode for us for a long period of time and we did a lot together but it has come time for Matt to leave. All of us here at Leader Bike would like to say “goodbye” to Matt and extend this handshake to our friend.
When hung out with Matt and the Leader crew in L.A. for Summer Fix Matt was really hyped on Leader and the new Pharaoh 26 inch frame, but it seems like he has moved on. I can’t say where he is off to, but I am sure it will be good.
Onward for pics!
