The Radavist

The latest issue of Cykeln magazine is now available for free online, featuring the Red Hook Crit, Dosnoventa and more.

People ask why I give FBM so much love here on the site. My answer is simple: they continue to push American production. This video from ESPN shows how Crandall and the boys keep this steel ship afloat. Head over to ESPN to check it out.

Best quote: “FBM started out as a bunch of friends hanging out… traveling and trying to do cool shit”

I love the South and FBM brings some 20″ love to it for Tioga. Also, Kenny Horton velodrome shreddddd! Don’t miss this one.

I love seeing local companies working together. Great job Mash!

“A few weeks ago Dylan, Cubby, Gabe and myself helped Eleven Inc move their  website. Here is the finished piece!”

FBM!

Founder of the Albion, bad ass rider, photographer and generally all around good dude, George Marshall just interviewed “Super” Ted James over at Redbull’s UK site. Ted has started making BMX frames from Reynolds 853 and seems to be living the dream.

Head over to Redbull for the scoop!

“Grown ass men” having fun is right! Joe Simon’s a local here in Austin and I’ve shared many drinks with him. Talk about an inspirational individual!

Check out more about what it means to Grow Backwards with Joe Simon at Story and Heart.

Here’s the sixth installment of the Animal Bikes QSS series. Including some footage from the Japan trip!

When people ask me where I want to go in 2014, the answer is simple: I want to go back to Japan. Why? See above. Animal‘s 2013 trip to Japan looks like one hell of a time!

This one’s too good to not share! Morgan Wade is a beast, but a controlled beast. Check it out as he rips for Empire BMX.

… and the photos are just as good as the video.

We reached the winter solstice. That means summer’s almost here. Right?

Here it is, FBM and Make Your Bones‘ Beat Ass. A celebration of the Lords of Fun!

This looks so damn good!

Last weekend, here in Austin, the land of the perpetual music festival, crowds descended upon Zilker park for Fun Fun Fun Fest. I steered clear of the crowds, but some of my friends dove right in. One of which being Cody Nutter, who managed to get some rad photos at the vert ramp. Check a few more out here!

With cover art by one of my favorite artists, French, the Albion’s unluckiest issue ever is online. Check out the full magazine for free at the Albion!

Hell yes! Ever feel like you’re too old, too cold to ride? Steve Crandall from FBM proves that even men with grey beards can rip on a bike.

Defgrip and Poler got together for a little road trip and made a video. A bunch of dudes, riding bikes, in a van, camping. I think that’s called “living the dream”.
