Right now, the X-Games has a few choices for their next host city and the BMX / skate community in Austin wants your vote. I don’t have to tell you that Austin is a great city to ride or skate in, because Aaron Ross from Odyssey and Sunday! does a damn fine job…
FBM knows how to deliver! Here’s the second episode of Bustin’ Loose.
The Albion continues to amaze me with their cover art. Issue 14’s was illustrated by Taj Mihelich and you can now pick up a copy in select BMX shops.
Just watch…
Dudes being dudes that are stoked on bikes with some Slaughterama background noise and other randomness. Solid vibes from FBM once again!
I may not be a BMX lifer but the Dig BMX Logo has always been visually engaging to me. Growing up in the metal, punk and hardcore scenes, I always found it relevant. Four fists and a chainring (sorry, sprocket), how simple. But what’s the meaning behind it?
Head over to Defgrip to see what Dig’s editor-in-chief, Will Smyth has to say…
One of the best cycling magazines is slowly uploading its catalog online for your viewing pleasure. Did I mention it’s free? Check out the Albion Issue 8 above!
I don’t have a kid but part of me wants to buy this frame anyway, just so when I do have a kid, they’ll have a piece of American steel to ride around on. If you have a son or a daughter that could fit on this 12″ BMX from FBM, I suggest you pick it up!

Mikey Luplow is one of the most metal motherfuckers in BMX right now. His signature Mutiny frame, the Doom Wizard is out in August and in prep for the summoning, he and Cody Nutter have been working on the right incantations. Which, at the moment seems to be absolutely crushing the streets of Austin, Texas. I can’t wait to see what these two cook up…
Check out more at Mutiny.
BMXFU is one of those series in BMX that continuously delivers and their newest trailer for the forthcoming DVD FU666 shows how.

It’s Wednesday and I know everyone’s craving some stoke time. Here’s the latest from FBM!
It’s so nice to be able to check out vimeo now and what a video to lead into the week.
“Vagabond Ritual is an FBM feature film, with some of the most colorful characters in BMX traveling to and riding some of the best spots; Kona, Philly, NYC, Little Rock, Austin, Tucson, Sasquatch Canyon and Beyond! Get in the van and see what happens when Ruel Smith, Kenny Horton, the Ginch Bros, Jackson Allen, Eric Hennessey and the FBM crew and friends let loose on America’s freeways…”
Over the years, I’ve established what many would consider a “relationship” with Steve Crandall from FBM. Sure, some of it has to do with his latest videos, or products but most of it boils down to our mutual, vested, stokedness on bikes. FBM is one of those brands that never will, nor have ever had it easy. They’re not all driving sports cars, or hanging with SoCal bikini babes in hot tubs in their condos but they’re still living the life that many of us would consider meaningful and honest. And I don’t know that they would even want that lifestyle.
While I’m not as into BMX as the next guy, I can appreciate good company and that’s what I always get from Steve. Well, that and a bunch of crushed beer cans and leather jackets. I shot these two photos at House Park one day, before we rode to get cupcakes and I like to think that both of us are happy with how they turned out.
You look great ripping that bowl, brother!

I saw this on the Cult blog and had to repost to give Dak and the photographer some love. Read his interview with Dig here.
It was great seeing you in Austin, Steve. Amen, brother.
