... to the American nation who have finally elected a worthy president. I guess they learned their lesson after electing the biggest idiot of all time twice. I truly believe that this is a change in the right direction for the US. More »

Kert Petersel of the Simple Bikes team in Estonia has got an interview up on the BMX Union blog. Interesting read for sure. He's a nice guy and he seems to have his head on straight. He's also a bad ass rider if any of you guys have missed that fact. Another Simple teamrider and good friend, Adrian Malmberg, has got a new web edit online courtesy of filmer/editor Samuel Segawa. Adrian is a really amazing ...More »

Focalpoint has got a new promo video for their new clothing line up on their index page featuring the FP crew doing some nice street stunts. The new flat peak caps look great, so does the new tee designs. Also, I've added a new link to an aussie bike company, Nightfall Bike Co., based in Cairns. They've got some nice products out and more on the way. I really like the sprocket (see the pic that ...More »

I've added some more photos to the gallery page. All of them are rather old ones from my archives, but maybe some people will enjoy them anyway. I'll add more recent photos once I get off my ass and start picking up the camera some more... More »

I just saw these two cool looking custom completes built around Simple frames. These two bikes are available from Hell On Wheels in Sydney. I spotted (and snagged) the photos from their blog. The white and black one looks Ace! More »

Did a pretty cool thing with a photo and a 3D rendering of the latest stem sample. Didn't get the angle and projection exactly right, but it's pretty close. More »

A couple of days ago I received a nice little package of things to be tested. It's the new "Symmetric stem" and the yet to be named cassette hub from Simple Bikes. The stem is short (49mm reach) and works about the same as the previous frontload stem, the "System". It's got an internal wedge/piston that transfers clamping force from the four front bolts via the handlebars to the streerer tube of the forks. It's called ...More »

I just noticed that Cooper has put up the latest Focalpoint web edit on Vimeo. It's a park only edit and the riding is top notch. The FP dudes are real shredders on their bikes. Towards the end there's even a little clip of me, whohoo! Troy Jackson's banger clip is epic. More »

...what a disappointment! Interbike is over. I've been scanning bmx news sites and forums for interesting new parts and products from other brands then the one(s) I'm involved with. But there was seriously nothing new or really cool. Unless you think 20+ new pivotal seat graphics (on the same seat shape), or new limited edition colorways are groundbreaking. The most interesting thing for me was that the G-Sport Ratchet hub finally seems to be ready for release ...More »

I was pretty impressed when I saw this bike. I totally like the finish and worksmanship, might not agree with all the parts selected for the complete, but whatever. Just one thing that I noticed with the photo, hence the "oops". Maybe it would be a good idea to have a professional wheelbuilder build the wheels for the show bike... More »
