Sofus Francisco: Last Week's Edit

Nothing too crazy here but I still really enjoyed it. The one thing I don't understand is the bmx section in the end. What does that have to do with the straps at all? Also, the rider is riding in Omar Salazar Nike Sbs and I have a pair of those. I don't use them for riding but I think they'd be really good for riding do to the Flywire.

VIMBY: Retired Belts

This has been a little DIY bike project for a long time. Its a great idea and I'm glad that Dylan Bigby is taking advantage of it. Although his are probably better than anything I could make, I enjoy making my own things. It just makes everything more fun.

Introducing - Gremlins

It amazes me how much I liked my Volume Cutter. Every time I see a Cutter in an edit, I miss my old bike, Pearl. She was quite the beauty and she rode amazingly. Definitely one of my favorite frames of all time. This video ha some pretty solid riding. I wanna try some of this stuff but I've been sick so I haven't ridden since Friday. Riders include Rifaie Taufik, Najib Aziz, Meel Lao, Afiq Yusof, Hazim Razman, Shafiq Karim, and Wellen Chai

Wonka Bike Check

This is a really informative little video. I'm sure I was not the only one wondering the Grime crew's set-ups and stuff. One thing I was really interested in was that gear ratio. Wonka's running 36/12 on 26" which is around 76.5 gear inches. A lot of riders are riding ratios with the low 60s and in my opinion thats way too spiny. I'm riding 36/14 right now which is around 70 gear inches and I kind of want to go lower to pull off faster tricks without spinning out.

Just 4 ~@kiCks

That stair is nuts. Like I have said before, I think Brad is one of the best riders at grinds. This video shows exactly why. Hes got the balls to hit something so massive. I also believe that he landed that set. Hes probably just saving it for a bigger edit.

Tony 9 Secs

I'm diggin this slow motion. Tony should really come out with a longer edit, I'd be stoked to see more from him!

Thomas Bike Shop ~@JAM!!!

This looks like a good time! I have a spot like that bank near my house, makes me wanna ride it. There alwasy seems to be a dumpster in front of it though. Also, that roof drop was nuts!!! If Santos landed that wrong bad things could have happened.

PEONFX x DEVISE - Faz Adhili

The Trek T1 has been one of my favorite frames ever since I began riding. I remember one of the guys at my school having one and thinking that it was just a beauty. This is a pretty dope video with some good ol' riding.
