Luana Oliveira rides the Roam AWD System B to Win #3 in Fontana

Congratulations to Luana Oliveira, who after missing last week’s Southridge USA Winter Series race because she was in Brazil, made her return in a big way. Luana crushed her closest competitor, former world champion Anneke Beerten by almost 15 seconds on her way to her 3rd win in a row aboard the Roam AWD System B. 
 Top spot again for Luana Oliveira

Can you feel that Specialized???

KNS.LO Quickie

One solid clip from Yushi who rides his Edit One with the KNS.Lo crew out of Japan. Check out a pic of his new build below…

BMX The Game

Downtime due to bad weather or injury is a fact of life for bike riders. In the distant past we had Dave Mirra 2 to help pass the time. But that was a while ago. Now a company out of Spain is working on a new BMX video game. Because if you can’t go actually ride you might as well pretend to. Wonder if we could get a Contraband or an Edit One in the game?

Airbag Sui at Progresh

This is a cool shot of Matt Swenson throwing a suicide into the airbag on his Edit One at a new training park in Colorado called Progresh. Check it out at Progresh.com.  We will post up some pics of Matt’s Edit One build soon. Pic by Rich Vossler.

Bombing a Riot

Nic Muller may want a new BLK MRKT Roam but he seems to be doing fine bombing some trails on his Riot. It so much fun to bomb trails on a hard tail. If you haven’t done it before go do it now!!!

Epic Taka…

Japan’s Uchida Takafumi A.K.A. “Taka” moved here a few years ago from Japan to study english, fish, ride bikes and make the best damn Japanese pastries in OC… and we love him for all of it!!!
From the Land of the Rising Sun to the So. Cal. setting sun… Taka is always stoked and shredding!!!
 If you’re in Tustin… make sure to stop by Cream Pan and try it yourself. 
Taka might have made these…

May the Schwarz be with You

So pumped on this (almost) Spring edit from BLK MRKT FGFS rider Payton Schwarz on board his 26″ Street Fiend. Great riding to a sick soundtrack. Shot and edited by Ronnie Garcia.

Kevin’s New Edit One

Looks like Kevin Sorichetti just got a brand new Edit One built up for the up-coming season. Such a killer Rat Rod look to this build. The raw frame with a bit of chrome and white looks sick! Look for a full bike check at PlusSizeBMX.com and watch for Kevin at slopestyle events all year.
