New bike check today, this time it’s our Australian rider, Josh Irvine, and his brand new Black Magic Forecaster frame with chrome Tall T bars, Sabretooth sprocket and Freeze Stem. Looks like he even has a modified foam finger authorized dealer sticker too. This bike looks so solid! Check after the break to see his parts list.
Garrett Reeves did one of the wildest curved wallrides in BMX history during our Atlanta Vacation trip which ended up on the cover of Ride BMX issue 183. Check out this interview we did with him about the curved wallride and getting his first cover after the break. To see the video of this wallride then follow this LINK.

Does it Again | Welcome to Sunday | Forecaster Bike Check
We took a much needed vacation in Atlanta to ride amazing street spots, skateparks and even take in a Braves baseball game. This video features riding from Aaron Ross, Gary Young, Garrett Reeves, Eric Lichtenberger, Alex Magallan, Lee Dennis, Jake Seeley, Jim Cielencki and Chris Burden. Filmed by Francis Delapena and Jim Cielencki. Edited by Francis Delapena. Thanks to Ipath Footwear and Kind Snacks for help making this video.
You know Garrett Reeves is tough on bikes, so we wanted him to test the upcoming Soundwave frame. As you can see by his bike check on Ride BMX, the frame has been put to the test. Black Magic and Garrett’s signature Ice Green versions of the frame will be available in late August and the Soundwave Special complete bike available in early August. Choose Wisely!
We’ve been flowing some stuff to Albe’s BMX‘s Chance Garrison lately. Chance just recovered from an ankle injury and judging by this video it looks like he hasn’t lost anything. The last trick is really rad! Glad to have you back on your bike Chance.
We are the team sponsor for San Diego‘s East County BMX shop. Here is John Stafford from their team tearing up the streets with some super tech moves while riding his Forecaster. Nice video John!
Our Sabretooth sprocket now comes in 2 new colorways. They are available in the same silver and Vapor Blue that the Freeze Stem is offered in. The silver comes in 25, 28 and 33 teeth while the Vapor Blue is offered in a limited edition 28t. The Sabretooth is an aftermarket, 6mm (1/4″) thick 6061-T6 aluminum sprocket which we even use on the EX and higher levels of our 2012 and 2013 complete bikes. The USA MSRP is $29.99 and also available in black and raw.
Aaron Ross does a quick interview from the road for ESPN where he talks brakelessness, racing and traveling. Here he is joking around with a 180 rail hop while we were in Atlanta. Look at that glide-cam technique! Check out the interview HERE.
