Check out this art studio bike check of Chris Mahaffey‘s Black Magic Second Wave Kit. Don’t know Chris, well he filmed a great deal of Alex Magallan‘s upcoming video part in Up, Up and Away! He also filmed the Nashville video Nobody Special from 2007 which featured Alex, Nathan Williams, Talem Cowart and Shane Weston along with a few others. The bike check was shot by Andrew White of Nashville. Check out more of his photography HERE!
Check out this Warm Red Sunday Second Wave kit I built up recently. It has 20.75 inch tube top length and the back wheel is run at 14 inches to provide me with a little extra comfort for bunnyhops and manuals. I use Morning 2.1 forks and put Forumph bars on because the 4 degrees of upsweep feels better to me. Click on the photo to see the full view and a bunch of closeups! What do you think of the tires? I’m way into them!
Sunday Plus 4 Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars are now available at all of our distributors! You can start piecing together your Model C right now. Don’t worry the Model C is in transit to the US right now and should arrive in about 10 days! So look for it in stores by the middle of April! Check out below for complete part info!
Paul Horan sent me some photos of his new 20″ Black Magic Sunday Second Wave set up that we hooked him up with. Can’t wait to see what he does on it! I know its rare to see a street rider these days with brakes. Its sort of refreshing! Click on the photo to see more of his bike! It’s the first day of spring just so you know!
Fox has a wild video up today of Aaron Ross riding in San Diego with Chase Hawk and Sean Sexton. It was filmed over a 12 hour period and its pretty awesome what these guys do in such a short time. Video is done really well, not too kooky which you might expect from a huge company like Fox. I didn’t realize the Blackbox warehouse was as big as it is. Go check it out!

Here is the latest Up, Up and Away ad featuring Aaron Ross. Doing a whip down 7 stairs is tough, but doing into a wet landing is another thing. Check out the video in April to see the rest of Aaron’s part.

Here is our first Up, Up and Away ad of myself in Guadalajara Mexico from last summer. The setup is weird and to get in this positon is very precarious, but you’ll just have to wait for the video to drop in April.
We’ve given our 24″ parts selection a specific name, so if you start seeing Plus 4 don’t be confused. The way these bikes ride, its just a 20″ plus 4″ more. There’s not too much of a difference in feel. The term “cruiser” doesn’t describe these parts very well. Either way the Plus 4 edition of our product line will essentially be our regular products, bumped up to modern 24″ geometry. Available now are the Plus 4 editions of the Morning fork entitled Morning 24.1 and the Forumph bar called the 24ump. Model C frames are currently on the water and should be available in the US sometime around mid-April.
So we’ve had great response to the Up, Up and Away trailer! If you’d like to watch it again, but don’t feel like searching through the site then just click on the Sunday Hot Air Balloon on the upper left of the page! Or you can watch it over on youtube right here. In more news, the video is having the finishing touches done to it over the next few days then off for duplication. Look for it to be out in mid to late April!
Aaron Ross had an unfortunate incident the other day involving a tramp bike. Just messing around, he ended up having the dropout go into his knee. The wound created was so deep that air enter his knee. This caused him to have to stay in the hospital overnight to get his knee scoped and flush the air out. He can’t walk right now, but he’s feeling better. He should be back on his feet in a week and riding in two. Get well soon Aaron! Here’s a story about the incident on BMXonline!
Niklas Kobis is on flow for us in Germany through our distributor Sport Import. He did a good bike check of his Black Magic Funday kit that you can see on Freedom BMX. So go HERE and see his bike!
