NEW TEMPERED STEM

2010-03-08T06:51:00.002+11:00

I spotted this over at TemperedBikes.. looks clean, and with the jagged edge clamp design its definitely something different that I dont think has been done before. This should be available in NZ sometime this coming winter.

NEW EDH PARTS

2010-03-05T08:18:00.002+11:00

Here is a few snap shots sent in by Travis from EDH BMX of all the new gear that has just arrived.

All the parts are looking killer, Travis has been working super hard on getting this stuff done. It's rad to see how EDH has grown over the last 4 years. Travis has a lot more in works too.. pedals, BB's, h/sets, a couple of new stems, frames and more. He has also been working on a new version of his web page, so keep an eye out for that. Also keep an eye out for a feature on EDH coming up soon on Zombie.

A little late but here is a few photos from the comp at Rampage last Sunday. It was a pretty chill event and a nice fun way to spend a Sunday.

Highlights:
Brian Anzellotti's 360 Tables are always fun to watch.
Alam Montefiore's Flip Fakie on the roll in.. pretty gnarly!
Cant remember his name.. but the kid from Tauranga who did a massive tuck no hander flip.

Massive thanks to Gavin from Rampage for putting on the event.

Derek Blaikie who is a super good flatland BMXer from Auckland had his bike stolen a few nights ago from his car in Manukau.

The Specs are:
Small (18.8tt) matte gray flatland bike - Inertia Unit Elite, green bars with no backsweep, black wheels, gray suelo pegs, brown wtp sprocket. got a crack on one of the rear dropouts and few spokes broken. Thompson elite seatpost, no brakes.

This bike should stick out from the crowd as it's a pretty unique bike, if anyone can help contact Derek at.. easy853@gmail.com... Lets help him get his bike back!

WEB VIDZ..

2010-02-20T21:10:00.005+11:00

Time for some Web Vidz..

This video popped up on TCU the other day and thought it would be worth post seen as it's 100% filmed in NZ, not to mention it's Ruben.. one of the best, if not the best rider in the world.

Hemi Mildon sent in this nice little web edit of his friend from Taupo Miki.. Thanks Hemi!

THE FUTURE...

2010-02-19T09:03:00.005+11:00

I spotted this over on the Forums.. is this suppose to be the future of BMX? It must be light weight and easy for travel.. I guess there isn't going to be a lot of grinds going on in the future?

If I was going to predict the future of BMX I hope it would look a little more like this..

The Melm 24's are hand built in the USA.. they are some what ugly, but you have to admire the craftsmanship behind them. And some of the features I hope we will see in the future of BMX, like the flush head set cap, the covered axle nuts, internal cables and hidden internal seat post clamps... I'm not saying these features look great on the Melm's.. but they are pretty trick and hopefully give some inspiration to push BMX design in a more creative direction with out going in stupid direction like the concept above or products like the KHE 1pce stem & bar (hate).

My rant for today!
