SPIKE HI BAR

Jacob Ruff — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:23:11 +0000

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.

Bike Check – Radio Bombtrack

Zach Bossington — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:59:27 +0000

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.

Freaker Fine Bottle Sweaters

Zach Bossington — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:25:48 +0000

Freaker sent over a little care package with some of their fine bottle koozies, known as Freakers. They are super stretchy and fit on pretty much anything. There are several different (and crazy) options to choose from. I had to snag the flannel one to match my wardrobe (NW pride) as well as the American flag version.

For $8 you can get your own Freaker, which is made in the USA.
More styles are available at Freakerusa.com

Tarmo Luisk created this typography inspired bike rack system to convey a message about a place or company while adding a useful feature to the environment. I wouldn’t mind seeing some of these around town.

I sent some of the Kansas City dudes a care package recently. I am really hyped on the progress of the BBG crew within the last year and I felt they deserved a little bit of swag.

Product Review – Ignoble Cora Classic Rucksack

Zach Bossington — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:24:51 +0000

I have been sporting the Ignoble Cora Rucksack for the better part of two months now and it is definitely a step-up from other rucksacks. It is a very light-weight (624 g) nylon bag and is structured quite well. The straps on the side expand and compress depending on how much is being carried. The zip pockets on the top flap and exterior have nice leather pull straps and the side pockets make nice water bottle/u-lock holsters. The inside has a small pouch for small items, and there is even a slot that fits a laptop or books. The straps are well cushioned and it offers a cross-strap that helps keep it stable when riding.

The Cora Classic Rucksack is a good mid-sized bag that can fit quite a bit of stuff, but it works best as a day to day pack. Did I mention that it is made in the U.S.A. with military-grade materials?

A little over a year ago, Ignoble bags came onto the scene with their Mona Cocoon backpack, which was their only bag at the time. They now carry 5 different styles on their web store, each of which have their own unique look.

You can get the Cora Classic Rucksack over at Ignoble Bags for $164.99.

Wow, Dew really brings the heat. I watched this vid over and over. I am glad he healed up from his injury, hopefully we will see a lot more from him.
