VinylBMX just posted this interview with Tom Arkus about getting hooked up with Sunday, his Model D, riding trails and the scene in Pittsburgh.  It’s filmed so well!  It’s definitely really enjoyable to watch!  Look for a full on riding edit from Tom soon!

A lot of people have been requesting this so we finally made it! The Aaron Ross Funday frame is now available in Fluorescent Yellow! If you want to put together a complete kit, you can get bars and forks in this color through his other sponsor, Odyssey.

Check out Steve Ciron‘s Black Magic Model D.  He ended up getting the last Black Magic sample that we had left.  The photo is sort of old, but I bet right now its cover in Long Island dirt!  Did it stop raining yet in Long Island?

We just got done adding sticker packs and closeouts into the store. You can now buy replacement sticker packs for just about all of our frames!

Our France distributor, Frenchy’s Distribution, is putting together a roadtrip/web-tour and a new rider has been added to our France roster. His name’s John Garcia and by the looks of this video they put together, John has some skate stunts up his sleeves as well.

If you don’t speak French but want to know what’s going on at the Frenchy’s, click HERE for a rough translation!

Tom Arkus spends most of his time behind a computer or working on the trails, but he recently sent me some photos of his adventure in this abandoned and decrepit church they explored and rode recently.  Here is what he had to say,

“We stumbled on this old abandoned Church in Gary, Indiana, the birth place of Michael Jackson and #2 murder capital of the U.S. 2 years ago. The original plan was to go shoot some profile shots for the new Vinyl website. However, we ended up filming for 3 hours riding the most random stuff you can imagine. This has to be one of the oddest places I have ever ridden my bike. Look forward to seeing some footage somewhere in the Sunday world soon!”

Have you ever heard the line in the Tupac song Old School where the chorus says “I wouldn’t be here today if the old school didn’t pave the way?”  This is so fitting for this situation.  John “Dizz” Hicks rode for CW back in the 80’s and had his own unique look and style.  He’s been the subject of Ryan Humphrey‘s art show Fast Forward.  From the wedge ramp mastering to the heavy metal hair, he easily stood out in the magazines and everyone’s memories today.  I can’t imagine BMX in the 80’s without him and I can guarantee others feel the same way.  So this is sort of my way of repaying one of the guys that paved my way into BMX and made me think of it in a completely different way.  I am psyched to have Dizz riding a Funday.  All photos by Brian Barnhart.

If you are having trouble finding a copy of Up, Up and Away then look no further then the Sunday online store!  There’s a whole bunch of other stuff in there too including t-shirts, spare parts, replacement chain tensioners, sticker kits and close out parts.  So follow this link right HERE!

Sunday‘s first ever video Up, Up and Away is now available just about everywhere Sunday stuff is sold!  If your shop doesn’t have it then have them call their Sunday distributor!  If you don’t have a good shop near you then check out one of the mail orders!  The team kills it in the video and if you haven’t heard Ian Schwartz‘s part is amazing!  Super refreshing!

Tom Arkus sent me a whole bunch of photos from him riding some pools with Brian Yeagle, Moris and Jason Willis.  Here is what he had to say:

There is probably no better way to spend 4th of July with your homies riding 3 different pools in one day. I’ve known about the pools for a while now but never got the chance to go check them out cause i had no idea where they were. 5 phone calls later we are riding them… The first pools were massive with some nice tranny’s to banks very fun to ride. One of the pools was 12ft deep, you are able to roast the crap out of that one but the water put a damper on that this time around. The pool at the foreclosed house was sick! It had the feeling that you were out in the woods and you just stumbled upon a tight tranny pool. The thing probably had 6 inch’s of tranny but it was laid back so it felt awesome carving it like a berm. Dropping in was a big deal but we got it done in the deep end. Look forward to seeing some footage very soon… Thanks to Moris for showing us around. Shout out to Yeagle for going on the mission. Thanks to Jason Willis for the sweet photographs.

Sunday introduced the Wave downtube at Interbike in 2007. This unique feature quickly became a centerpiece in our goal of bringing riders a frame that’s both strong and light. Surprisingly, a lot of people didn’t notice the Wave when we initially showed it at Interbike, and to this day some riders STILL haven’t noticed it. There are also riders out there that are unaware of how well the tube design really works. However, with that said, I have heard countless stories from Sunday frame owners about what their Wave downtubes have been through. It’s understood that the tube won’t take “everything” thrown at it (after all, it’s still just made of 4130 chromoly), but it will take a lot of the abuse that ordinary round tubes won’t, and once the downtube of a frame has been damaged, it’s only a matter of time before a new frame will be needed. At this point it’s been over two years since we began testing the original prototypes, so I figured that it was time to show some photos of what a Wave downtube looks like on the inside.
