Once again we’ve made it into the top 3 posts viewed on a BMX site for 2012. This time it was Jim C’s Model C photos, Jon Faure’s Mega Ramp jump and the Two Four Flat Crew’s flatland videos that put us at the top of Cruiser Revolution. Check out the full post at this LINK.
Let’s start 2013 off right with this badass turndown by Alex Magallan. This is how it’s done on a quarterpipe. Fully clicked and the front wheel is further out from the coping than the back wheel. Photo Derek Derose at Sixth Aveune Skatepark in Nashville. Check out Alex’s signature EX complete bike after the break.
It is so great to see young kids like Ryan Slusher absolutely shredding on 16″ bikes. He is pushing the limits of what kids are doing on these bikes. He’s riding our Sunday Primer Jr. which is specifically tailored for kids between the ages of 5-10 years old. The bike has proper fitting bars, 28 spoke wheels and a very short chainstay length which makes it easier to spin, whip and backflip. Learn more about the Primer Jr after the break.
Do you know how hard it is to do an over-icepick in 1/6th the gravity compared to the Earth? Somehow Gary Young is able to adapt to the lower gravity and lack of oxygen to get the trick done. Unfortunately, Gary’s not on the moon, but he is somewhere in the middle of nowhere Argentina riding what could easily be the moon. Looks like the trip of a lifetime if you ask me. What would the PSI rating of a tire be on the moon? Photo stolen from Aaron Ross’ Instagram page. Follow him and Gary at @theaaronross and @garybyoung.
Will Blount wasn’t playing it safe in Austin’s Death Ditch yesterday afternoon. This column is very narrow with a sketchy run up, but Will rode this thing with ease. Photo Jim Cielencki.
Have you ridden this thing at House Park in Austin? You have to take off early and pull out far enough to clear the bars on either side. It also narrows and goes over-vert. Our 24″ bikes aren’t just for cruising, you can actually take it to tough places like this. Model C complete bikes and Wave C frame sets available now! Jim Cielencki on the bike and Mike Gonzalez behind the lens.
Everyone wish Trails Squad member, Aaron Day, a happy birthday! It’s the rainy season in Northern California right now, so maybe for his birthday he will get a rain free day as a present. Either way we hope you have a good birthday Aaron! No handed Rooster roasting during Texas Toast. Photo Timothy Burkhart.
The Rooster frame has seen a lot of shredding as of late. Mike Gonzalez’s bike check documents him riding his Rooster over the last month in Austin. Notice the leaves changing in the 9th St photos.
This frame is the only trails frame using the proven 41Thermal Heat-Treating process developed by Odyssey. The geometry is designed for high speeds with a 13.75″ – 14″ chainstay length to prevent looping out, a 74˚ HT angle to slow the steering and a lower BB to keep the bike stable at higher speeds. If you’re looking to hit some jumps then this is the frame for you. Rooster is for roasting!

Scot Draper, the Sunday team’s official pool shark, hustling a 360 over some dubs at Vercoe Trails in his hometown. Watch Scott’s North by Northwest video that we recently released after the break. Photo shot by Buck. The Rooster frame that Scot is riding is NOW available everywhere.
