ESPN did a pretty rad BMX Artifacts feature on Mike Ardelean recently. It’s a two part video interview where he talks about his history in BMX and the trials and tribulations of being a pro. You can watch part one above and part two’s below!

We helped Mike Ardelean put together this bike recently. It’s custom built for UNIV and it turned out amazing. It’s not very often you see a rusty looking bike that looks classy as well. Mike did a real great job piecing it all together. Make sure to check out UNIV’s website for some bonus action shots of Mike, Jim Bauer and Gary Young taking the bike for a spin.

Along with the bike check, we also have a quick blurb from Mike:

Well I’ve been pretty much living the good life in Venice. If people want to know what I’ve been up to, they can check out my calendar.

Here’s another pic of Ardelean’s bike, not in a bush.

We just got a couple of new magazines in the mail and inside of the Ride UK, you’ll find the two ads above. To get a sneak peek of what’s inside, hit up the jump. There are a couple “Guess Who” photos in there too.

When you’re done, head over to the magazine stands and flip through them in real life.
