Now that spring is finally starting to arrive, check out a bunch of new shirts that we have available at your local bike shop, mail order or our webstore.  We’ve brought back the 2005 shirt with a new green color, the Conductor frame gets it’s own t-shirt, there’s a traditonal Logo shirt and an Aaron Ross Good Vibrations shirt.  We decided to do the Feeler shirt after hearing people say our frames feel stiffer than the other frame they had been riding.  Spring is almost here and summer is not too far away!

Big things are going on with Jake.  He’s currently traveling his way across the USA on his way over to Portland, Oregon.  He’s planning on spending the spring and summer there riding street and eating Chipotle.  In the above photo, he is yanking off the bumpy tree over to a concrete pad on the right. Look for more from Jake soon.  Photo Bobby Parker.

Watch Jake’s amazing OSS video part HERE.

Gary Young will be guest coaching the Vans Pro BMX Camp at The Block in Orange, CA on April 22nd.  Check out the flyer for the camp after the break. Above is Gary doing a sick one handed table at the Graveyard Trails in San Antonio just before Megatour 10.  Big thanks to Josh for letting us come ride the trails.

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
