Here’s a new video from RideBMX.com showing off some of the stuff we brought to Interbike this year.

Dave Thompson is one of the recent additions to the GSport team and he has some wild moves up his sleeve. He has a full bio in the latest Props and this teaser will give you an idea of what to expect.

Above is our latest ad running in Ride BMX and it’s also available as a wallpaper download.

Looks like this might turn into G-Sport week. Here’s another G-Sport ad that slipped through the cracks as far as internet postings go. Dakota Roche bangs one out and checks off all the necessities: tall rail, hangover tooth and a big drop to boot. In the words of Aaron Ross’ twitter, BOOM!

Here’s a G-Sport print ad we ran a while back but haven’t posted yet. Everything you see in the photo is available now, including the 3/8″ aluminum axle, 3/8″ volcano bolts and the Ratchet Hub guard!

Gary Young has a bike check up over at the Sunday site. We noticed some kids happened to spy that he’s not running his own grips right now and that’s mainly because he’s in the process of updating his signature grip so he’s trying out some other ones to see what changes he wants. Also, the Gary Young bar will also be getting a fresh update soon so keep an eye out for that as well!

Check out the pics above and then play Pong when you’re done!
Oh and you might as well watch his Tunnel edit again, too.

The G-Sport Ratchet Hub Guard has a product spotlight on RideBMX.com. Stephen Campbell (formerly known as The Viking) talks you through the specs and ease of installation.

Our most complete parts kit ever is here and available now. Hit up your local shops and mail-orders to turn your bike red. Check out the Fire Engine Red flipbook for a complete parts list and more pics!

Keep up with Adam via twitter.com/adambanton!

Oh and if you want to learn how to Luc-E grind, watch Adam’s how-to video.

Just caught this on G-Sport’s Twitter. It’s Chase Hawk flowing around all over Empire’s new ramp!

This was their first day ever riding a sidehack and attempt number 2 on the ramp. Their warm up to this basically consisted of riding around in circles at the bottom.

Odyssey BMX is proud to announce that we will now be available through Full Factory Distribution in the states.

In addition to Seattle Bike Supply, Quality Bicycle Products, Custom Cycle and J&B, Full Factory will be available to further assist dealers with Odyssey, G-Sport and Flatware product lines.

Please visit Full Factory for more info.

Check out Dakota’s bike and watch him shred some spots. He definitely has one of the largest hops in BMX. The rail he slides and hops over in this is tall!

If Godzilla was to attack San Diego, what front brake related trick would you want to do on his face in order to save the city? Either an ET nosepick dremel to the groin or a top side cancan nosepick karate kick to the dome.

Do you and Dirt Ron have front brake battles? We actually unite our powers like wonder twins, but it’s more of a holy experience, like that scene in karate kid (pick any one of them).

You put together a video for us a while ago, how’s the editing board been treating you? It was super fun to play around with Final Cut. That was my first stab at it on my own, with some scrap clips i had from the past few months of riding… I’m looking forward to working with it again, but that requires more clips to be filmed and logged… in progress!

What parts do you go through the most? Grips and pedals for sure, though I’ve eased up on the pedal grinders and these Olastic grips seem to be staying in shape.

Is there anything you’re particular about on your bike as far as setup? Basically everything, but I really like to experiment with different setups (2 pegs, 1 peg, 1 brake front, 1 brake back, stem lengths, seat heights, etc). My bike is basically a transformer with an identity crisis, but in the end, I always seem to come back to a brakeless ballerina bike.

I’ve been told your alias is Ohio, which leads me to believe you’re from there. When did you move to sunny SD? Do your friends back home call you Diego? I’ve lived in San Diego for a few months shy of 2 years now and it’s been an adventure. I am originally from Cincinnati OH where a number of people call me a number of things, but I don’t think I’m spanish looking enough to have heard Diego.

Tell us a little more about Awkward Words. A few years ago I started a blog that was essentially an outlet for me to doodle and share my weirdness with whoever might be curious or bored, so of course I put it on the Internet. Speaking of which, it could use some more attention these days, too busy riding!

What’s going on here: tumblr_kv6d1gEQH91qaaocio1_500.jpg This is actually pretty out of character for me, since i usually draw more basic, cute stuff, but this is one of Ron’s monsters that I drew my own version of because I thought it was so insane and I was extremely hung over after a night at his place and in need of a distraction for my bruised brain. As for what is actually going on, it’s a magician monster stranded on an island puking all over his own eyeball while solving a rubics cube and conjuring a rain storm

If the Red Power Ranger walked up to you and asked, “Yo Tom, how you do them manual lines so well?” How would you respond? I would probably slap him in the face and ask him where the green ranger was. The green ranger was Tommy, definitely the most badass. He had his own power zord, which was a dinosaur. Plus he was the mysterious loner, so bonus wolf points… or i would just give him some spare change: 1h9jxd.jpg

Are there any projects that we should keep an eye out for? San Diego BMX is reuniting in a furious blaze of glory so watch out for revival of America’s finest city in the bmx scene… other than that I’ve been getting more into shooting photos lately, so hit up tomisthinking.tumblr.com if you’re ever bored online. That and awkwardwords.tumblr.com are my two blogs at the moment, so I’ll have to get that stuff some more updates soon. Peace, love and 69.

Check out this new edit from Cult featuring Dakota Roche shredding the Fullerton Park!

This is rather amazing. Fat Tony from Ride BMX walks you through Terry Adams’ crib to give you a very thorough tour of his dialed house. The dance moves alone makes this video worth watching and there’s plenty of additional insightful clips and flatland links thrown in for good measure. Hit the full screen button and turn the HD on, you’re in for a treat. It’s kinda like a mix between a cloud and a muffin.

Also, keep checking back ’cause there’ll be a new video of Jimmy popping up soon!

While a lot of kids these days are going out and trying on the tallest, largest bars, you actually trim yours down. What’s the width on your bars and have they gotten wider at all throughout the years or are they still partying like it’s 1999?
My bars are cut down about an inch on each side. So yeah, they are narrow for the N.W. However, I must admit, they are wider than they were when I moved here 5 years ago.

Aside from trimming the bars, are there any other things about your setup that you’re particular about?
Just that it’s running solid. I’ve been riding too long to have a slapping chain or loose… anything running shitty.

You’re known to have done some of the biggest gaps in BMX. When it comes to jumping long distances and dropping from great heights, is there a specific geometry you’ve grown to prefer?
I’ve always been a 74% or 74.5% head tube guy. My rear end is 13.75″ and works great. I think landing those gaps you mentioned is just knowing the balance of your rig. You have to know when to drop your back wheel to land, as well as a steady trust on your frame and parts knowing that nothing is going to explode.

Ride BMX just put a bike check up with one of our favorite riders, Dakota Roche. He’s rocking the new Cult frame and fully stocked on G-Sport and Odyssey components.

Greyboy and Truly have a bike check up on the Ride site, along with an interview about Impakt Sidehacks and an online version of their Sidehack Love article from earlier this year. Constantly carrying 315lbs plus the force of landings and grinds, these 3 wheeled cousins can take and handle a lot of abuse. Check out the bike check to see what type of parts they’re running on it!
