I think it’s official. Terry has ridden on just about everything imaginable. While most riders would stay away from riding on any sort of wet surface, Terry decides to fire out some moves instead. Click HERE to see what this is all about.

Sean is pretty new to the freecoaster game, but he’s dominating that thing. 180 bar to quick halfcab.

Mat tried this 180 onto the bank to halfcab manual 180 bar for a really long time. He was pretty frustrated by the end, but he made it happen.

Grant and a long, artsy nose manual — there’s water, there’s fountains, there’s even a structure. What more could you ask for?

Eric has to be, without a doubt, one of the most entertaining humans on the planet. In between making us laugh nonstop and losing his wallet, phone, and backpack every five minutes, he fired out this skinny ledge ride to barspin to the street.

Remember what I said about Sean dominating the freecoaster? 180 bar up the bank to halfcab downside whip back in.

Eric Lichtenberger, Sean Sexton, Mat Houck and Grant Germain took a field trip out to Phoenix recently. In case you didn’t already know, Phoenix has spots and our dudes have moves. Put the two together and you’re pretty much guaranteed to end up with some action. The video drops this Friday (May 3rd) but in the meantime, here’s a photo gallery put together by Walter Pieringer.

It was a big weekend for our Flatware team. Terry Adams won the second stop of the TransJam contest series in Athens, GA and Matthias Dandois won the Astrolabe contest in France. JF Boulianne got on the podium too! Congrats dudes!!!

DANG! Photos of Dugan roasting quarters will never get old. Hit up Ride BMX for more pics and a fun interview with one of BMX’s most beloved riders.

Side note: I happened to be in the car with Tom when he swooped a random car full of dudes next to us at a stop light. They originally thought he was a chick and we originally thought the light was about to turn green. We were all wrong.

For 2013, we are introducing Hunter Green and Bronze products to our lineup. As you can see from the picture, these anodize finishes look great and will add a nice touch to your ride.

The kits include the following items:

• Chase Hawk C-512 sprocket
  25t, 27t, 28t, 30t or 31t sizes
  7075-T6 aluminum
   
• Tom Dugan TDFL stem
  45mm or 53mm reach
  7.5mm rise or 24mm when flipped
  6061-T6 aluminum
   
• Sean Sexton SXTN stem
  48mm reach
  33mm rise or -1.5mm when flipped
  6061-T6 aluminum
   
• Evo 2 brakes
  Front or rear brake compatible
  Cable hanger, straddle cable and an array of hardware included
   
• Monolever
  Hinged clamp
  medium lever size
   
• Antigram hub
  36-hole
  2014-T6 aluminum shell
  14mm or 3/8″ inbound axle
  9-T Driver
  Left or right hand drive
  Compatible Hub Guard (Optional)
   
• Antigram front hub (not pictured, coming soon)

Bronze originally came about as a color option that Tom Dugan picked for his signature TDFL stem late last year, and we thought is was sweet enough to carry over to other parts. As for Hunter Green, that just looks sweet too.

Hit up your local bike shop or favorite mailorder and ask for Hunter Green or Bronze Odyssey awesomeness!

When not blasting into the stratosphere, Tom Dugan is fine tuning his signature parts. Tom’s grip features a timeless coil pattern, along with a feather design across the heavy wear areas. By using two molds you’ll notice feather angle symmetry once they’re installed. Par Ends included.

Go HERE to check them all out. Available now in Black, Gum, Red and Turquoise.

Contact your local bike shops or favorite mail orders to get a pair.
