The Daily Rotter has a review up of our Ratchet Hub guard. It’s not available in stores yet but it is on its way. Give it a few months and you’ll be able to battle Steven Seagal with confidence. Check the review for more pics and a larger version of the image above.
Check out this video Q&A with skateboarder extraordinaire, Chris Cole. You can get to know him a little better through some reader questions from ActiveRideShop.com. While watching, you may recognize those wheels he’s lacing up and playing around with!
BMXUnion has a review up for our JCPC pedal and it’s even coupled with the video above. There was a very limited quantity released earlier but we’re expecting to have more by the end of the year. If you’re interested and haven’t done so already, make sure to check out the JCPC booklet.
Also, if you’re wondering what Jim Cielencki‘s been up to, he’s been flipping boxes and dropping 360 ETs on his well-equipped Funday PRO.
We have a new batch of t-shirts floating around out there in retail land! They’re not in our online store yet but they will be soon. In the mean time, hit up your local shops or mail orders to get some new threads!
DiversionTV just hooked up Gary Young’s old Props Bio from issue 65 and you can now watch it online. The bio came out a long time ago but the riding in it is timeless and there are still plenty of memorable quotes in there. For example, next time you find yourself frustrated and angry about not pulling a trick, just think to yourself, “Wait… I’m riding a kid’s bike. How could you really be that upset when you’re riding a kid’s bike?”

Jeff Z. just put up a bike check of Aaron Ross. The Fluorescent Yellow and Ocean Blue parts are in full effect and you can also catch a little backstory about the Date Bike while you’re there. Click the photo to view the bike check.
You may have noticed on Adam Banton’s last bike check that he has a 3/8″ axle listed for his Ratchet hub and JC has one on his bike too. These aluminum axle kits are available now and come with spacers which helps fit the hub to most 14mm dropouts. If you’re looking to shave some weight or maybe even just clean up the look of your bike with our Volcano Bolts, this kit would be a great upgrade for your Ratchet. Hit up the mail-orders or your local bike shop to get your bike on one.
We’ll be doing a Jimmy Levan Q&A soon and want to gather up some questions from you guys. If there’s a question you’ve been pondering lately that you’re just dying to have answered, now’s your chance. Just Ask Jimmy and he’ll share with you decades of experience and BMX awesomeness.

Terry Adams propped up his laptop in his backyard recently and used the webcam on it to film some new lines and links. The result is Terry’s foray into video editing and it turned out pretty good!
Here’s the last full part in Electronical and it deservedly belongs to Mr. Aaron Ross. This part is nearing a couple years old now but there’s still a handful of absurd combos in it that have yet to be replicated.
Aaron Ross has a Rapid Response up on the Dig site. Click the photo to read it!
Terry Adam‘s film, Dreams, will be playing at the Canal Place Theatre in New Orleans on November 14th at 10pm. It’ll be part of the Big Easy Film Festival so if you’re in the area, make sure to swing by and check it out. Full flyer after the link!
