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.”

The laziest pro in BMX sent us a bike check recently and it’s looking pretty dope. Hit up the flipbook above to check out his ride and read more for a little Q&A about his bike, what he’s been up to lately and how it feels to be on the cover of the latest Dig!

Oh and follow him on Twitter if you haven’t done so already!

Dec 23, 2009 • Product The Thumb Tack grip

We have a new flatland specific grip available known as the Thumb Tack. It utilizes the same olastic rubber compound as the Adam Banton 2 grip so they’re soft to the touch and still very durable. Just like most of our other grips, the Thumb Tack comes with a pair of Par Ends! Available now in Black, White and Ocean Blue.

Dec 16, 2009 • Product Banton 2:
Olastic Rubber

Adam Banton has a new grip that’s designed with a speaker mesh pattern and guitar flanges. It also features our new Olastic Rubber compound which allows the grip to be softer without sacrificing durability. The thickness is about average but the harder you grip, the thinner it feels. Just like most of our other grips, if you don’t like the flange, you can just snip it at the slit. Our Par Ends come with it for freeeeee!!!

To get your hands on a pair, ask for ADAM BANTON 2 grips at your local shop or mail-orders.
