The Antipodes trip is officially over but the crew decided to stay a bit longer to explore Tasmania and go to Ayers Rock. It was a crazy 70 hour drive filled with semi-trucks tipping over and kangaroos running across the road. They found some spots along the way and collected extra footage.

Below is a funny video from their trip. I actually caught myself saying, “ooohhhh noooo” when the Koala fell. Haha, enjoy!

Every week, Max and I had to realise a challenge for the internet fans. The last one was to ride with a kangaroo. We didn’t find a Kangaroo that was keen to ride with us but we sorted a way out (watch the video above)…

Also, Hadrien Picard made a post on his website with the best Instagram shots of the trip.

I still have a week to go in Australia. A french TV production is coming over to follow us in the last week so it should be good!

After that I fly to San Diego! Yeeew!

Have a good day!

Our Socket Drive interface system has been in use on our Flatware cranks since their inception, and it was only a matter of time before the system was adapted into our Thunderbolt cranks. The time has come.

In a nutshell, the Socket Drive™ system is a 9 sided interface which eliminates the need for a sprocket bolt. The sprocket itself is machined so there is no need for a sprocket insert of any kind. The two work great together. The interface is solid and reliable, so we are now offer the Killington sprocket to match.

Thunderbolt cranks with Socket Drive™

• 175mm only
• RHD only
• Black only

Killington sprocket with Socket Drive™

• 25t or 28t
• 7075 aluminum
• Black only

Thunderbolt and Killington sold separately. Hit up your local bike shops or favorite mail-orders to upgrade your drive train today.

Socket Drive™ is a royalty-free interface. Please download the spec sheet for dimensions and tolerancing specifications here to produce your own Socket Drive™ sprockets.

Tom Dugan and our homie Jared Swafford went on a trip with Fit this past month to Glendale, Arizona. Jared unleashes some ninja combos on ledges while Dugan 360s his way to the moon.

First, this is hands down the best front flip ever done on a bike. Matt was one of the first dudes ever doing this trick and it took years for everybody else to catch on. These days, it has become a staple trick at any big contest but despite how many of them are done in one air or how many whips are thrown in or whatever other variation you can concoct, this frontie off the trampoline will trump them all.

Second, if you were to ask every diehard BMXer what their dream house would be like, there’s a good chance that Matt’s house is what they’ll end up describing. To learn more about it and read a very in-depth interview with Matt, make sure to hit up Ride BMX.

Head over to Collateral BMX for a very in-depth interview with Chris Cotsonas regarding the design and manufacturing process of our Key Chain. Though it’s taken a decade to get to this point from the initial concept, we’re proud of the results and can’t wait for you guys to try it out.

When the hell did Matthias start spinning threes down stairs?! Watch him and Maxime fire out some radness in this new video from G-Shock.
