Defgrip is now previewing our new 2013 Complete Bikes.  Aaron Ross and Gary Young have full lines while Eric Lichtenberger, Jake Seeley, Garrett Reeves and Alex Magallan all have their own signature bikes.  The new 16″ Lil Spark is scaled down exactly from a 20″ just like we did for the 24″ BMX with the Model C just the other way.  The new Soundwave frame is available first as the Soundwave Special.  Just follow this LINK to see them.  Choose Wisely!

Lee Dennis, Jake Seeley and I along with flow guys Cory Foust and Anthony Wilson took a trip down to the Ed’s Games IV last weekend. The trip down included a stop at Cranx Bike Park in Syracuse and Woodward East. These stops were the perfect way to break up and 8 hour drive. If you’ve never been to the Ed’s Games then you are missing out.  Sunday has been to 3 out of the last 4 Ed’s Games and we will be there next year too!

Recently we had our first Video Sunday Friends with Mike Elias and now here’s a good sequence of him icing across and down this rail. Thanks to Carlos Tamez-Mendez for the photo.  Check out Mike’s video HERE.

Dig Magazine stopped by our office to take some photos of the more interesting things we have on display.  Learn some of the inside stories and history of the frames shown in the photo above.  Check it out at this LINK.

This is a good way to start the Memorial Day holiday weekend.  Ride BMX just posted The Friday Interview they did with me where I talk about Sunday, tricks, street progression and some history.  There’s even some good 24″ photos in the interview as well.  Check out the interview right HERE.

Alex Magallan got to hang out with Batman aka Val Kilmer last summer during the filming of his new movie The Fourth Dimension. This film is directed by Harmony Korine who also directed Gummo. In the movie, Val plays a “bike-riding, Bermuda-shorts wearing, roller-rink preaching motivational speaker named, yes, Val Kilmer” via The Reel Breakdown.  The movie premiered at the Tribeca Film Feastival last month.  Check the trailer for the movie after the break.
