Complex Magazine recently ranked the top 10 BMX bikes to buy and we had 2 bikes in the top 10. First, the Soundwave Special was selected 9th as the bike “to grind a 46 stair handrail on” and the Model C AM was selected 7th as the bike “to cruise around the park with my kid, but be able to ride hard.” Take a look at the suggestions at this LINK. Take a closer look at the bikes after the break.
Chris Childs’ Welcome to Sunday video released last Friday with much praise. His full throttle style mixes big moves with tech to make something very refreshing. Here’s his new Soundwave build for you to check out. Some things to notice on his bike are the 30t Sabretooth sprocket for achieving high speeds. The drop stem with 8.5″ Triumph XL bars for keeping the bike stable at these higher speeds. This is one very solid bike. Check out his full parts list after the break.

The Sunday team gets better and better! We are also proud to announce Oliver Jonasson is now riding for Sunday in Scandinavia through Sunshine Distribution. Couldn’t be more stoked on this one.
We are proud to announce that super stylish, all-terrain shredder, Chris Childs, has joined the Sunday team. Here are some words about how it happened from Team Manager Walter Pieringer…
I could not be more proud to welcome Chris Childs to the Sunday team.
Long story short, I’ve been working on a Ride UK magazine interview with Chris for the past few months, and he impressed me so much that I decided to put him on Sunday
Chris is an absolutely ridiculous bike rider and without a doubt one of my favorite people to both shoot and travel with, so I’m beyond excited to have the chance to do more of that with him now that he’s a part of the team.
We shot video of everything Chris did for his magazine interview, so it only made sense to put that footage out as his welcome to Sunday edit. By the way, Chris fired all this out in one week in New England and one week in Austin. I hope you enjoy.

Everyone here couldn’t be more excited to have Chris on a Sunday. If this video is any indication then things are going to be really good.

Not sure if you realize, but Gary Young is an animal. Here’s a throwback to the Baltic Triangle Tour to show you that has actually never seen the light of day. We had just finished riding the indoor skatepark when we came across this pretzel rail. A spot like this does not appear everyday, so you have to jump on it while you can. As luck would have it, the weather broke long enough for him to get it done. There’s really so much that could go wrong on this set up. Photo Jim Cielencki.
Look for this clip in an upcoming Gary Young edit, but in the meantime watch Gary in the Baltic Triangle Tour after the break.

Vasya Lukyanenko coming through with this epic photo shot by Danil Kolodin. How great would it be to come across this spot when you’re out riding one day? This is a perfect zero flat bottom halfpipe under a bridge in the Ukraine. It looks wide enough for you to be comfortable enough to ride back and forth, but it still has the death factor of a big drop on either side. The photograph does a great job capturing the perspective of the bridge.
Vasya has made it a habit of finding unique spots like the time he rode on top of the 5 story high satellite dishes. Watch the video after the break.
Come to the Full Factory Ramp Jam this Saturday June 22nd from 12pm-4pm. You’ve seen the ramps online, so now come ride them yourself. The ramps are a blast and you’ll be able to get hooked up by Vitamin Water and Etnies as well. Get directions after the break.
Cory Foust has been a BMX snowbird for the last 2 years. This year he returned to Austin, TX to escape the cold of Pennsylvania. This isn’t the only destination his wings took him to this winter. Before he flew home, he drove west to California filming all along the way. Look for this trip featured in BMX Plus. Filmed and edited by Cameron Muilenburg with addition clips by Jim Cielencki.
