Radio silence.

Man, 3 months feels like forever when all you really want to do is just go out riding with some friends. Life doesn't always work out the way you'd maybe want it to, I suppose.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but hopefully I'll be able to get some more coherent updates on here some time soon. Fully trying to sort out a net connection at home, but it's taking a while. Incredibly out of the loop with virtually everything at the moment, scrabbling to try and know what's going on simply from looking at issues of Ride (the brand new, just-come-out one's a banger, by the way).

In any case, this video is awesome and I'll say no more...

Stay Fit Premier - Southampton

Join us on Monday 16th November at the Orange Rooms for the Premier of the new Stay Fit video! Entry is free. The video starts at 9pm. Come have a drink and watch some stunts. Can you think of a better way to spend a Monday evening?

Have a look here on Facebook to see who's coming!

Note: Entry for over 18s only.

Wooden Pedals

Remember when Mosh was making stems that looked like they were made out of wood? That was like 2-3 years ago? They never made it to the UK...

Now Outland are bringing out pedals with the "wood" effect. They look pretty cool, but other than that, they're just rebranded Wellgo pedals. £40 a pair.



Also out soon will be one for the weight freaks. I'm not even sure if they have a name yet, but they're a small, slim profile pedal, not really a standard shape for BMX riding... so I guess we'll have to see if they're any good when they finally come out. Should be around £55...

Finally.

You know when someone tells you a secret, and you're not allowed to tell anyone about it? You know how horrible that feeling is? Well, whoooooosh. There's a lot more to it as well, but I'm sure that'll come out eventually. Right now, I'm busy as hell at work so I can't really type any more.

Plenty of good stuff's happened at Interbike which I'm sure you'll have all read about elsewhere, but I'm pretty into the new S&M stuff. Pretty sweet. Again, super pushed for time and still no net at home, so no dice on other updates. Sorry everyone!

EDIT: This wins.

404...

No net connection = no updates. Normal service will be resumed in about a week or so? Maybe... Not ideal.

Sweet.

Having a job is surprisingly awesome!

Anyway, been away for 3 days - catchup time.

Couple of web-vids that are most excellent:

Other news:

Kyle Hart has a sweet bike.

Holeshot.

Holeshot rules. This is Holeshot's September video. Coleman Lopes also rules...



A new Barcode?

Head tube angle : 74.5 degrees
Seat tube angle : 71 degrees
Rear end length : 14"
BB height : 11 & 15/16 inches
Toptube : 21.25", 21" and maybe a 20.75" or a 20.6" version depending on demand
Stand over height : 20 & 7/16 inches
Gussets : top tube and down tube
With or without brake mounts (the production ones will have slightly lower brake mounts than the prototype shown)
Weight : 5.0 pounds flat
Price : TBA

I have received a lot of emails regarding the height of the BB on the Garrett frame being 12", and I'm probably going to have more coming regarding the BB height on this one as well. Our BB height has always been the same. They used to measure 11.75" from the ground, to the center of the crank spindle. And although the Garrett frame now has one at 12", and this one at 11 & 15/16, the frames have not changed one bit. This is due to running larger tires. I used to never run 2.25" tires. I think I used to run a Primo Dirt-Monster in the front that was 2.1" and a V-Monster in the back that was a 1.95". As the width of a tires increases, so does the outside diameter of it. Therefore, raising the BB as well. I hope this clears some of the questions up.

We are taking pre-orders for the first batch of these Barcodes. Send an email to : info@terribleone.com and put BARCODE in the subject space. First run of Barcodes will be done Flat Black.

Ought to keep everyone quiet for the next few days while I'm away in Preston...

Chris Lee

The Count is one of a kind. Nuts dude, friendly as hell, incredibly good at riding. He is fully not scared. I've seen some of his clips for the up-coming Make DVD, and he's dropped some nuts stuff up in Newcastle. This is his section from Dry Spell - I really hope that Newrick uploads Charlie Don't Surf some time soon (Seeing as he's sold out of copies of it anyway), purely 'cos the Count has some insane clips in there too. The world needs to know how good Chris Lee is.

:eltiT

Usually, the standard "WEED WEED WEED 4:20 BLAZE BLAZE BLAZE" kinda web-vids are pretty tedious, and seem to have to feature at least 15seconds of footage of people just smoking, but fortunately, this video doesn't. I went to the Bristol P5 street jam yesterday (Which, since you're asking, was awesome), and like after most jams, web-videos just bore me. They never really get that 'feel' of riding after seeing plenty of nuts stuff in the flesh, but this video broke through that and is really good. Good tune, awesome riding, good filming. Winners.



I've actually got a set of bolts heading across the Atlantic from this guy (I hate the imperial bolts on my Profile stem. They're getting dangerously tweaked out already. 6mm bolts on everything rule.), so it's good to hear a bit more about the man himself. Click here for an interview with the dude who runs BlueSix.

This is the Brighton Ain't Ready mix section, that has so many different people in it that I'm reasonably sure the only people who aren't in this video are you and me. No joke.



Plenty of deeecent stuff in here, straight from Dig.



Josh Betley has a frighteningly unpleasant looking bike. No joke.

Josh Betley @ Brown Skatepark - More BMX Videos

That's all for now. They tweaked the prescription for my lenses in my glasses, and I have a beast of a headache coming on...

Vids, yo?

Not the first time I've used that title, that's for sure. But, videos is what we're dealing with here. First up, one from Dave King about 'Stoney's Wood'? Some guy's trails in any case - techidy tech.



Stay Fit is almost at an end. "Get Fat" soon?
