Chris Orbell sent over some wintry Forecaster bike check ph0tos. Hopefully, everyone will be done with winter very soon, so we can all get to riding. Chris’ bike looks amazing! He’s always had a dialed bike and I believe he might be BMXFU’s unofficial bike mechanic. Nice job Chris! Photos Brad Hill
We just arrived back from Props Megatour 10 the other day. The trip was a lot of fun and for once we didn’t do too much driving. Our “tour” took us in and around the Dallas/Ft Worth area with stops at a few of the skateparks, the Desoto race track and both downtowns. We eventually made our way over to Tyler to ride Morgan Wade’s warehouse ramps and shoot some guns. Good times with good people! Thanks to Props for inviting us!
This is one bright episode of CLOSE UP! The 2011 Aaron Ross PRO complete is definitely one of the brightest bikes we’ve ever done. It’s colorway is themed after one of Aaron’s personal bikes from years back. Odyssey, Sunday and KMC make up it’s amazing 14 piece aftermarket parts package. Check out the specs below for the complete list. This might be the best bike for the money out there today! Still the most complete completes.
Jake Seeley has a brief bike check up on the Props Megatour site. Go check it out HERE.
Here we are in all our Megatour 10 Day 1 glory! From left to right, Aaron Ross, Gary Young, Eric Lichtenberger, Jake Seeley, Garrett Reeves, Mike Gonzalez, Alex Magallan and Jim Cielencki. We will be riding the Dallas/ Ft Worth area this week, so be on the look out. For even more updates, check out www.propsbmx.tv.
Guess what? Sunday frames come in black! Actually we’ve had black frames for a long time now, but they are often overshadowed by the bright colors we also do. From left to right, Forecaster, Funday (yes even a black Funday), Third Wave, Conductor and Wave-C all come in black and are available right now!
Mike Gonazalez is running the new Triumph XL bars on his freshly spray painted Conductor. These bars keep the classic Triumph bar dimensions except the rise goes from 8″ to 8.5″. So, you still have the 28″ wide, 12 degrees backsweep and 1 degree of upsweep, but now you can get them in an 8.5″ rise. Look for these to be available this spring!
Mike Gonzalez turndowns right HERE.
Mike Gonzalez shreds if you didn’t know! Here he is clicking this turndown in north Austin on his Conductor. He will be joining the rest of the Sunday team on the Props Megatour starting March 1st in Dallas.

Thought we could show you this spy shot of some of the new 24umph XL bars that we are riding. We’ve added a half inch to the original 24umph bar height. The dimensions will be 7.75″ rise and 28″ wide with 12 degrees backsweep and 4 degrees upsweep. I put them on my Wave-C for a test run the other day, I could bunnyhop easier and pop into nosewheelies much better. Not sure if it made doubles runs easier, but TJ Henderson and I filmed this clip that day. The testing is going well so far. Arrival dates should be later this spring and yes 990 mount 24.1 forks will be here in March. More updates to come!
Make sure you look for the Alex Magallan ‘Scouting for Spots’ article in Dig BMX issue 81 that will be out very soon! Alex is always looking for very unique set ups and this article captures this perfectly. Just watch the last clip of his Emerald Video and you’ll see what I mean.
