You still have these FBM bars for sale?

If so, I'm interested in them.

If you ever end up near Raleigh (about 2.5 hours away) let me know and I can show you some street spots.

The Bike Shop / Re: Will Odyssey ever make 10 tooth drivers for the Clutch FC?

« on: April 13, 2016, 08:23:54 PM »

I would like to 2nd this request.

I doubt Odyssey will do it, but I would love it so I can do 25/10 on my cruiser.

I'm a long toptube fan myself, so I'll keep an eye out for you, and let you know if I see anything that fits this description.

We should all just trade our Series1 stories...  I really want to go searching for my old pictures of mine.  Bitch was bad.

I traded a dented to shit T1 Progression for a Series 1 outside of what was then called X-Games Skatepark on the north side of Atlanta, and I rode that thing for a long ass time.  It was right when the Series 1's had come out, and I loved the dirty ass raw color that it had.

The Bike Shop / Re: is anyone still making 7075 stems?

« on: March 14, 2016, 01:04:14 PM »

Tree may do their collet stem in 7075 (if they still make it?)

I heard a rumor that it was discontinued due to problems with the bolt holes stripping out... but don't know how much truth there is to that since it was just a rumor.

They still have them on their website, and they are currently on sale on their webstore, though.

Pretty sure the Eclat Burns stem is 7075.

The Lounge / Re: anyone in XXX part of the country trying to ride with me?

« on: March 04, 2016, 12:44:37 PM »

Too bad Bobby (skateparkrider) doesn't live in Austin anymore.

He hooked me up multiple times riding there.  Even lent me a bike and gave me some shoes one time.

If you make your way over towards Raleigh NC anytime, I've got a bed open a lot of the time (buddy stays in my spare room about a week every other month), and I've got a couch you could crash on too.  I've got a decent collection of street spots I've found now that we could ride.

« on: February 18, 2016, 10:06:29 AM »

Is it weird that I kind of like the fact that Bikeguide is kind of becoming the hidden secret of bmx again.

We need some more shit talking like the good ol days.  Where's Philip and Jasper when we need them?

Had to take an updated picture for work for a bigass RFP response...  I really wish I had gotten a haircut beforehand.

The Lounge / Re: Besides the T1 dudes, what riders are you guys stoked on lately?

« on: February 05, 2016, 11:39:36 AM »

I'm really pumped on Kyle Hart lately. https://youtu.be/IR-BMgY11II

Dude is pretty stylish for a street jibber.  I loved the wallride up to tuck-no and the 360 lookback to fakie on that quarter.

Seamus mckeon
Dan foley

Seamus is always doing rad stuff, and I get the feeling he's the kind of guy that doesn't get too caught up in industry bullshit and would probably continue riding his bike exactly the same even if the industry imploded.  I hit him up a couple years ago when he lived in Charlotte because my girlfriend was there for a week for work training.  He showed me the best damn ghetto DIY spot I've probably ever ridden and was a super nice dude.

Dan Foley is just super smooth.

Demarcus Paul http://youtu.be/f_p33-lyWaA

I know I've probably said this too much before, but Demarcus is probably the nicest guy in bmx and is just stupidly good.  He used to ride such a POS bike and still killed it.  I remember saying to Blue on here years ago that if I started a bmx company that Demo would be the first guy I'd try and pick up.  Not long after that, he got on Freed, and now look at him.  He's doing ice's up kinked rails. 


I'd have to say, even though I'm more of a street peg jibber, that Richard Forne is one of my favorites to watch.  I'm not even sure why, but I love watching his stuff.
