It should be common knowledge by now that Justin Simpson is a beast on a bike. These photos were shot shortly after a heavy session went down on that rainbow rail behind him. Click around the flipbook to see how his Mutiny Loosefer is setup.

We’re dropping our latest ODSY Vision tomorrow, so start guessing in the comments on what went down at this spot!

Tom Perry’s bike is all chrome these days and he hooked us up with some pics to check out the shine.

Here’s Mike Aitken‘s current bike, loaded with our latest goods.
Click around the gallery to check it out.

Jim C has a pretty sweet bike check and photo gallery up over at ESPN. In it, he talks about his 24″ Model C and what it’s like riding it and switch back and forth between the 20″.

I know you ride your Sunday cruiser more than a regular 20″ bike nowadays. Is there a specific reason for this? To be honest, I go back and forth between the 20″ and 24″ throughout the year. I run a BMX bike company, so I should have experience in both bikes. Before I started riding this bike in October, I rode my 20″ for a whole year straight. For me, it’s difficult to switch between the two just because the 24″ makes the 20″ feel small. The main reason why I ride the 24″ is that I like the idea of taking something you already know how to do and making it different. It’s like riding bigger stair sets or steeper rails, you want the challenge of taking something you already know and making it different or more difficult.

Click HERE to check it out.

If you own a cruiser and want to upgrade your wheelset, make sure to check out our Hazard Lite 24″ complete wheels, spokes, rims and tires!

Here’s Justin Simpson’s latest ride. As an added bonus, there’s even some riding footage thrown in at the end!

Watch the vid and then say hi to him on Twitter @JShemidragon!

It’s been a while since we last did a bike check with Chase Hawk. His bike is orange these days and loaded with our latest stuff, including his new signature sprocket! One other cool thing to note about Chase’s bike is his drive-train is manly! 180mm Twombolts, 30t C-512 sprocket and a 9t cog on his V3 Cassette. His bike is setup for speed and blasting high.

I watched Anthem 2 last night and was blown away with Aitken’s part (and the whole video for that matter). It’s unreal how much style and power than man has. Literally not a minute or two after, a text from him comes in completing the parts list for the bike check you see above.

Anyway, he’s been making some progress in his road to recovery and though he’s not back to 100% yet, he was firing out some style over the dubs in Beringer’s yard when we hung out with him last month! He even clocked some clips for an edit we have in the works.

He likes his bikes long and low with a little harder gearing (28/9) right off the bat. Here’s his most current bike, which happens to match our latest semi-matte teal color kit.

Follow him on Twitter.com/nightwolfSLC.

If you live in the upper regions of the northern hemisphere, you either already have or will soon feel the wrath of this year’s winter snow. If you happen to find your town blanketed with inches of that white stuff, don’t fret, here’s a little how-to from the dudes at Ride UK to help keep you shredding. With the help of an Aitken tire and a box full of screws, you and your friends can get a grip of winter in no time.

Just try to stay away from tire grabs…

MODS: Sharpied the hubs on the lathe downstairs. Grinded my rear dropouts to make it 13.65″ or so. Cut and grinded my inside sprocket guard so it’s only using the three nuts and bolts on the down side of where the sprocket is for left foot forward. Replaced the barrel adjuster nuts on the Gyro cables with the presta valve tube things they use to keep valves through the rims on ten speeds with. Cut my bars a little bit (25.5″ Wide). Shuffled some pedal pins around. I replaced the brake shoe allen heads with old school round head brake shoe nuts cause the allen head things sometimes meet my ankles.

There are still a couple things I want to do to this bike that I’ve been slacking on. I mostly just wanted to get a new bike that wasn’t as shiny as my chrome and gold bike that I was riding for a long time before I crashed this summer and had to take a couple months off. I’ve been having a lot of good times riding this bike in the last couple months… it’s sweet.

This is Matt Beringer’s latest ride. There are still some little mods he wants to do to it here and there but for the most part, this is it. We shot the bike check when we were filming in SLC earlier this month and Matt’s currently on his way to San Francisco to get some more clips. Jimmy Levan will be in attendance as well so Bay Area, watch out!
