The Radavist

First of all: WTF with the preview shot. Second of all: there are some insane bails in this one. Third of all: it’s the weekend. Time to get rad. Thanks to FBM, this is all the motivation you need. This is a must watch…

Kenny Horton is just one of many rippers who shred for FBM. Here’s living proof as he field tests his new signature frame, the Orphan.

Is it too early in the morning for BMX? I don’t think so! Especially from FBM.

One of my favorite magazines, the Albion has just uploaded their 11th issue online for free. Check it out!

I was at the premiere of Cult’s Talk is Cheap DVD here in Austin and could not believe my eyes for most of it. The crowd’s response was very much the same. After I got the DVD, I watched it multiple times and now, the full video is online, thanks to Cult. Check it out above.

The Albion’s 15th issue is now available at good BMX shops in the UK and select shops in he States. Find your local stockist here and if you’d like to order a subscription, do so here.

Those Florida boys at Profile linked up with Mark Mulville, Chad Degroot, Mike Meister, and Wade Lajlar to pull together a summer mix. Shot across the state of Florida in a few sessions, here’s a nice mix of street styles.

FBM and Neil Hise kick it into tech-mode in the streets of Richmond. Seriously love this dude’s creative style and that half cab… Damn.

Now, I’m guessing the two newest rides that popped up on the BAUM Flickr today are going to the same owner. This Cubano and Bandit are identical. Both meant for speed at a different scale and both are dream bikes to their respective audience. Wow. The Bandit frame ( 2lb 15oz ) is the only one like it in the world. A true one-of-a-kind race machine. You can read about it here and by now, we all know the Cubano…

Oh man, this new project from Vans looks RAD!

“Vans joins forces with renowned BMX brand Haro to commemorate a history of classic BMX design and originality. The fated partnership between the two brands brings forth a memorable collection of Vans x Haro footwear, apparel and accessories influenced by the early days of BMX style and the birth of the first freestyle BMX frame, the Haro Freestyler.

With more than 30 years of innovation, Haro Bikes champions an iconic heritage in BMX product design. With the introduction of its first top-of-the-line Freestyle BMX bike in early 1984, Haro ignited a revolution in the growing sport of Freestyle, paving the way for radical tricks and inventive style. The partnership between Vans and Haro celebrates a strong dedication to BMX.

The original Haro Freestyler Master informs the Vans capsule with vintage Haro accents and signature color schemes straight from the bike frame. Once worn by freestyle BMX riders in the 80s, the original Vans Era and Sk8-Hi Reissue boasts Vans’ classic checkerboard print popular among BMX athletes, along with Haro’s signature green and blue colors taken directly from theFreestyler Master.The collection also includes a retro long sleeve t-shirt and racing pant emblazoned with the unforgettable blue, green, and white racing stripes. Two custom Vans x Haro logo tees and a poison green snapback finish off the collection.

To celebrate this master collaboration, Vans and Haro teamed up to recreate the Freestyler Master in a limited run that will only be available in Vans.com, Vans Facebook and Vans retail store giveaways. Visit vans.com and facebook.com/vans through the month of July for more information.

The entire Vans x Haro collection hits stores July 1, 2013 and will be available at vans.com/haro.”

It’d been a while since we’ve seen anything from the Collard Shirt Krew… Here’s the latest from the Seattle homies! The last two clips are nutty!

This is no game… of Throne saddles. It’s FBM’s new pivotal with their embossed logo. Check out more details at FBM.

Wow. FBM knows how to party.

I don’t post a whole lot of BMX content here on the site, but usually when I do, it’s from FBM. Why? Because Steve and his riders are living the dream and part of that is dealing with the struggles of being a company that still believes in American production.

Over on Collateral BMX, JPR interviewed Crandall and even though a lot of it is cryptic and weird, there are some gems in there:

What kinds of new products do you have coming out? Anything exciting?
Yeah, we have U.S. made in-house 8.75” and 9” FBM handlebars, Bellwitch’s are getting worked on right now, Erbles just pieced together a 650b women’s city commuter bike and Kenny’s testing a prototype frame called the Orphan, which later this summer if all things fall into place will be manufactured in-house. Then we’ll be trying to get people to buy them.

That’s the key, getting people to buy your stuff.
Seems like we could fart like ten years ago and people would pay attention and now it’s like I gotta drive a black school bus around with muppets on acid to try and get people to even notice us.

Check out the full interview at Collateral BMX!

This is rad. If you’ve checked out the Albion Issue 9, this video is supplemental to the article found on page 77 called Live Free or Die.

“Clint Reynolds and his friends, Brian Yeagle, James P. Nutter, Matty ‘Anal’ Aquizap and their dog Raja drive across America in Betty – an old Mercedes van that runs purely on used Vegetable Oil taken from restaurant bins.”

Such rad vibes going on here. Thanks for sharing George!

Bombing hills on any bike is fun. Even a BMX!

“For the fourth year in a row, we have successfully completed a Bolinas day trip for Cubby’s birthday. Every year he’s added more friends to the adventure, but the itinerary has stayed the same. Drive out from the city as early possible, get to the top of Mt. Tam, jump on the bikes to ride 6 miles down a twisty one lane back road (this time we bombed two hills, one into Alpine Dam the second into Bolinas). From there we ride the skate park in Bolinas for a few hours and then head to bass lake.”
