Today’s Sunday Friends comes from Cologne, Germany and it features Aurelian Olteanu’s very awesome Model C. This the original Model C frame that took some time to customize, but judging by the looks it is well worth the wait. Great looking bike Aurelian! Check after the break to see our latest Model C complete bike available right now.
Jon Faure is at it again. Remember the Mega Ramp nosewheelie photo from a few weeks ago? Well, Jon was working on the latest enstallment of his video series entitled How to Ride a Mega Ramp When You Suck! There’s not too many Mega Ramp How-To’s available, so Jon takes you through some of the steps. He’s ok and ready to go back up to Woodward West to ride again.

Jon Faure went up to Woodward West this weekend to film a few things as well as ride the Mega Ramp on his Wave C. Unfortunately, the Mega Ramp wasn’t into the idea and he landed like this. He took a hard crash, but he is feeling better now. It’s nice to know that at 47 years old, you can still take a fall. Look for one of Jon’s videos entitled “How to Jump Mega Ramp When You Suck” videos soon.
The Least Most posted a good photo of me doing a wallride on my Wave C. Rick Crossman shot the photo while we were on one of our many random searching adventures outside of Austin. We also shot this photo and this one too.
Defgrip today posted this rad Rick Crossman photo of Jim Cielencki up on their site today. Tight bank to wall on the Wave C. Follow Jim C on Instagram.

The guys over at Plus Size BMX coming through again with the third installment of the Project Model C video. In this series, they ask all types of riders to give their feedback after riding riding a Model C 24″ BMX. We’ve always said that it feels just like a 20″ just scaled up and it seems like everyone confirms this. There’s a bonus in this video. At the end, there’s the footage of Jon Faure becomes the oldest person to jump Mega Ramp. So sick Jon!
Here is a Sunday Friends coming in from France, Jean-Pierre Labaume’s brand new Black Magic Wave C with Morning 24.1 forks and 24umph bars. Whether in black or blue, the Wave C’s this year look so good. It’s tough to decide which color looks better. Thanks Jean-Pierre!
Tim Sage just sent over this photo of his brand new Vapor Blue Wave C. Not sure how many times I can say it, but this color is so amazing. His headtube has one of the best placements of an Empire crown sticker that I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks Tim for the photos.
