The Radavist

… while I sort through a week’s worth of emails, Tweets, Facebook messages and other content. I love being on the road but playing catch up is no fun! We’ll start off with a RideNStyle video from Zlog. Check out more below.

Matt Rice has been shooting video for Snow over the past few months and I gotta say, I really, really enjoyed this. It’s creative, ballsy and a lot different than a lot of the FGFS videos I watch. Snow makes damn good use of the environment and his smooth, 29’r style is fast and precise. Good job dude, I’m diggin’ it!

Both completely different but they kept me watching. Ramon Antonio puts in work in the LBC (land that footplant bar dude!) and Shinya throws down some speedy flatland action in Meriken Park.

I haven’t seen anything from Swoo in ages. Raw Mind Movement put this together from older footage.

LDG just posted up some sick photos of Joe McKeag riding at Woodward West. Check out the rest here! Matt, did you shoot these?

Profile has just listed up a bunch of close-outs on their newly-designed website. Head over and pick up some parts for your BMX or fixed here. I wanna see some of these finishes in the new Elite Road Hubs.

This one comes from way back when we were all riding 23c or 28c tires, grinding on Milwaukee Bicycle Co Stout chainring guards and riding square taper cranks. It was that awkward and yet nostalgic time period where fixed gears and fixed freestyle bikes looks very similar. This was the second size large Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta’ produced and at the time, I was grinning ear to ear when I got my hands on it. While there wasn’t really a fixed freestyle “team” for BMW, Joe had some great people riding and thrashing these bikes.

I dug these photos up while cleaning out a hard drive and thought I’d share. Credit goes to Sasha E for the shots because I was still firing away with a Casio pocket camera at the time….

Greg Falski’s Stoked on Fixed Bikes has a new issue out for free! Check it out above and don’t forget to go full screen.

After years of fixed freestyle riders demanding a micro drive, splined hub, Bombtrack pushes forward in the race to release its product first. Their fully-patented, 9t and 10t splined driver hub will hit the shelves this August. Don’t worry about availability in the USA, they’ve licensed the product to several manufacturers Stateside as well. Am I the only one that would love a 14t driver?

Specs:
Rear Female 10t: 515g
Rear Regular Axle 10t: 501g
Rear Hubguard: 109g

Where is Tom LaMarche? He’s still ripping FGFS in the Northeast for Specialized. Tony showed me some of this while he was in town. All of which was filmed in about two days. Damn. That statue garden drop is serious. Glad to see my boy’s still got it.

Zane just dropped the second teaser to Can’t Fool the Youth on me. I can’t wait to see this at MWM 3! Hey Gus, have I mentioned how much I love you?

Long Beach, Cinco de Mayo, you know what’s good. I love how Joe is wearing a 700c shirt.

iMinusD rider Alex Blanco breaks down the parts on his Breakbrake17 Charmer v2. You can pre-order the frame at iMinusD here.

Military service put a damper on the Planet Hops crew but they’re back to show us what they’ve been working on.

Hell yeah Corey! Matt Spencer just put up Corey’s edit for All-City. I’m way into this.

Here’s the official video from Red Bull from the 2012 RideNStyle competition and as expected, it’s pro as hell! So many good clips in here, especially Addison’s gap on his Giant track bike and all the freestyle bangers.

I promise, there is basketball playing to be had in this edit from CSK. But first, some dialed FGFS from the Seattle boys!

I was just thinking that it’d been a while since the last Phillip Williams edit. Here’s his newest, Resurgence. That ditch spot looks mad fun.
