Yep, we have another Twitter contest going on.

Details about our location and how to spot us will be revealed via our Twitter Account. To win, all you have to do is catch us on the road and say hello!

Terry’s Demo Schedule
Voodoo Pre-jam 2009
Terry’s going to be traveling around the country over the next 2 months and he has some Red Bull demos lined up on his schedule. Most of the demos are on college campuses so if you live in any of the following cities, keep an eye out for the Red Bull crew and Terry.
It Only Takes Once
Some of the clips in this are pretty hard to watch but it’s good seeing it though since it really puts into perspective how just one crash can really affect your life. Mikey’s been through a lot this past year and this video takes you through his highs and lows. His road to recovery continues to progress and you can trail along at MikeAitken.com. While there, make sure to hit up the Vigilantia section. It’s a great way to rock some cool threads while showing support for one of BMX’s largest inspiration and influence.
Chase Gouin: Part 1 of 2
Chase Gouin sent us a DVD a few weeks ago and it was filled with enough clips for a couple edits. What you see above is part one and part two will be hitting the internet sometime next week. Below is a little message from Chase regarding the clips:
Here are just a few little combos to give an example of what I’ve been up to lately at my local practice spot. They are obviously much older style tricks/variations, with brakes and kicking and scuffing and all that crap… haha. Basically early-mid 90’s type stuff that I was messing around with. I hope you enjoy it for what it’s worth. Either way, I was on my bike and putting in a bit of effort, making some small progress. All the best to everyone in your personal riding sessions. This footage was filmed by my friend Dave Todon, who was cool enough to give me three days of his time to help me out. -Chase Gouin
Flatware “Socket Drive”
Here’s the latest product to come out of Flatware line. This new flatland-specific Twombolt crank and Rhode Island sprocket are available now, so hit up your shops and mail-orders to get a set. Click around the flipbook above for pics and read below for details.
New “Socket Drive” Interface
This 9-sided sprocket interface has been designed as a new standard for sprocket fitting. It can be built into the spindle on 2-piece cranks like the Twombolt, or it can be incorporated into the arm on 3-piece cranks.
A new interface seemed to be a necessary development because sprockets have become smaller across the board. On anything less than a 25-T there starts to be a heavy concentration of stress around the drive bolt and the sprocket teeth. Switching to a closer spaced sprocket bolt is one solution, but that also increases the stress on the sprocket as the same torque applied at a closer radius results in a much larger contact force.
