» Freeeeeeestyle

Adam Banton just sent us some new pics of his bike. The theme is freestyle and the white tanwall rims are in full effect. If the fist of post rule looks like it’s being violated, that’s because Morgan Wade dropped his seat for him so could learn decades and opposite whips. Lowering it has helped a lot and it doesn’t look like it’ll be coming up again any time soon; “You don’t mess with someone who looped Mt. Baldy.”

Click around the flipbook above to get fresh.
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.

» 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.

» MJ all Day

Alex Bermudez of Give D! sent us some saucy pics of his latest rig recently. Word on the streets is he has an Odyssey edit coming up for us soon, so you can watch him stunt it up ala motion picture. In the mean time, here are some stills of him from a ditch in sunny San Diego.

All photos taken by Josh Hayes.
MJ all day and Billy Mays forever…

It’s not really a full bike check but it is a close-up look at a CUSTOM wheelset Ben Ward built up for Steve Blackey of Gravity Powered Vehicles and The Bicycle Source. Though you can’t buy it as a complete wheelset, all parts are available separately:

» The gold wheels belong to...

…Taj Mihelich. He sent over a handful of pics and you can check them out in the flipbook above.

Some people also guessed they belonged to b_dubbs and they would’ve been correct as well. Click HERE for a gold compilation he put together prior to us sending out the wheels.

» Front and rear stoppies

The last guessing game was a bit of a curve ball with most people guessing Aaron Ross or Terry Adams. If you were to look into a crystal orb (in this case, our Twitter account would be an adequate substitute), you’ll discover they actually belong to Mr. Adam Banton. We sent him a really bright parts kit and he’s done well with them. The black makes the colors pop like crazy and his new bike is looking dope. Check it out above (photos by Jeff Hall).

If you’re interested in stalking Adam, follow him on the Twitter and le Flickr.
The read more teleporter will take you to Adam’s 2003 Odyssey video part.
His Electronical part is on the way.
