Electronical:
Gary Young

The first rider section in Electronical belongs to Gary Young and it’s packed with some highly ridiculous moves, smooth style and a couple wild gaps mixed in for good measure. Watch his part above and discover that everything looks better with a Gary Young table thrown in.

When you’re done watching, check out his sweet BMW M Coupe in a BMX vs. Cars feature that Fudger put together over at the Ride website. He’s somewhere in the middle.

Terry Adams and Taj Mihelich

Terry Adams and Taj Mihelich

We check Terry Adam’s website and Taj’s blog on the regular so we figured we might as well give each of them some room on our Daily Word. If you look at our sidebar on the right, underneath the “Recent Comments” section, you’ll see the latest 5 updates from each of their blogs.

Electronical:
Intro

Over the course of the following weeks, Electronical will be making its official internet debut! Sections will be loaded into our TV and HD downloads will be available on our site. The first one up is the intro section and since it’s short, we’ll be putting another section up later this week.

As always, you can take these videos to your internet abode and this time around, you can even choose the size of the player to fit your blog, website or profile! Select the “LATEST” embed option to get a player that’s automatically updated latest video.

Another Taj Mihelich interview!

Give D! edit

The Give D! crew uploaded a new San Diego edit a couple days ago. As always, there’s plenty of mustaches and good times to go around. Watch it above.

G-Sport Rollcage

The new G-Sport Rollcage rim is shipping now. What’s a Rollcage? It’s a more affordable version of the Ribcage. How’d we get a lower price? Well, the Rollcage uses standard 6061-T6 aluminum instead of the Ribcage’s proprietary grade, and the Rollcage also goes without the Ribcage’s outermost reinforcing ribs for the spoke nipples – a feature that requires greater precision when it comes to drilling the spoke holes.

The Rollcage makes use of the Ribcage’s proven cross-lacing for improved durability and stronger wheel builds, and also incorporates a similar cross-sectional design that has been narrowed down to 34mm’s. Additionally, this section-shape utilizes thick 2.1mm sidewalls for impact resistance. You’ll be able to tell the Rollcage “by eye” because it has a groove that runs along the center of the rim.

The Rollcage is available now in hard-anodized black or chrome, 36 or 48-H, with a weight of approximately 455g. The rim’s ERD is 390.

We’ve had test riders on the Rollcage rim exclusively for over a year now, and it has proven itself time and again. We’re confident that you’ll appreciate it as much as we have.
