» Chris Cole lacing up some G's
Check out this video Q&A with skateboarder extraordinaire, Chris Cole. You can get to know him a little better through some reader questions from ActiveRideShop.com. While watching, you may recognize those wheels he’s lacing up and playing around with!
» New Threads!
We have a new batch of t-shirts floating around out there in retail land! They’re not in our online store yet but they will be soon. In the mean time, hit up your local shops or mail orders to get some new threads!
» 3/8 Axle for the Ratchet Hub
You may have noticed on Adam Banton’s last bike check that he has a 3/8″ axle listed for his Ratchet hub and JC has one on his bike too. These aluminum axle kits are available now and come with spacers which helps fit the hub to most 14mm dropouts. If you’re looking to shave some weight or maybe even just clean up the look of your bike with our Volcano Bolts, this kit would be a great upgrade for your Ratchet. Hit up the mail-orders or your local bike shop to get your bike on one.

» Show Bike: Fire Engine Red
We have a couple show bikes lingering around our booth and one of them is completely decked out in the Fire Engine Red parts kit we posted a couple days ago. Aside from having the full kit, this bike also has our prototype seat post, which works for both pivotal and railed seats.
» (Tall) Bike Check
You may have seen some photos of this tall bike floating around the internet these past few days and we decided to put together a little bike check featuring all of the parts we ended up using to make it happen. The hardest part to make this bike a reality was having a solid steering mechanism (we ended up having to use 4 headsets) and getting the right sprocket size combos to get the chain tension right through out the whole drive-terrain. The end result is a ridiculously tall bike with a lot of parts and a top wheel that rolls backwards when the bike is rolling forwards.
A huge thanks goes out to Rob at CM Speed for doing the welding for us!
» Fire Engine Red
