Chase Hawk Bike Check

Francis — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 19:00:58 +0000

It’s been a while since we last did a bike check with Chase Hawk. His bike is orange these days and loaded with our latest stuff, including his new signature sprocket! One other cool thing to note about Chase’s bike is his drive-train is manly! 180mm Twombolts, 30t C-512 sprocket and a 9t cog on his V3 Cassette. His bike is setup for speed and blasting high.

Gary Young Bike Check!!!

Gary Young has a bike check up on ESPN. It’s the bike he rode in the X Games and it’s all chrome! Click HERE to check it out.

Hoang’s Shred Sled

Hoang Tran has a bike check up on Ride BMX. Click the photo to get the parts break down and a little Q&A.

Gary Young Bike Check!

Francis — Tue, 25 May 2010 17:25:42 +0000

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.

Dakota Roche Bike Check

Francis — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:57:36 +0000

A Dakota Roche G-Sport edit is currently in progress. We met up with him last week to get some clips and he basically cranked out over half of the edit in one day, a few bangers included. If you’re wondering what he’s riding these days, it’s basically all Cult, Odyssey and G-Sport goods. Click around the flipbook above to get the parts list.

Jimmy Levan Bike Check

Francis — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:51:10 +0000

In case you were wondering what Jimmy’s riding these days, here a flipbook for you to look through! It’s an all metal bike for the guy who runs Metal Bikes. Read more for a brief Q&A about his setup and a few extra photos.

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.

Kyle Hart Bike Check. Photos by Ryan Fudger.

Kyle Hart has a bike check up at RideBMX.com. The product list is a little wacky but that paint job he’s rockin’ is looking good.

Kyle’s of the 3-peg persuasion and out of curiosity, how many pegs are you guys running these days? Leave your peg count in the comments.

Triple Gold G’s

Francis — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:48:14 +0000

As one of the main dudes behind our R&D, you can bet that Ben’s bike is dialed (and blinging gold). A complete parts list can be found in the flipbook above and a couple things to note are the new Four:four bars and the gold rims, spokes, nipples and hubs he’s running are now available.

Aaron Ross grip and bike check

Francis — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:30:08 +0000

A couple bits of Aaron related news. There’s a bike check up over at DigBMX.com and as always, you can count on it being one of the most colorful bikes in BMX. Ocean Blue and Fluorescent Pink in full effect.

His signature grip is also available in white now. If you want to treat your palms to some luxurious softness, these grips are the way to go.

Matt Beringer bmx overhaul

Francis — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:04:13 +0000

Matt Beringer e-mailed us a bike check today along with a couple of photos. With winter coming to an end, it looks like he’s getting his bicycle dialed for the warmer days ahead. Aside from a couple parts here and there, he’s pretty much taken apart his whole bike, for one thorough overhaul. Click the pics to make ‘em big.
