Micheal Beran ended up 7th at Simpel Sesion finals, not bad! He also got several really good looking pictures from Dan Vojtech in Lovebmx online mag last issue . Looking forward to his (and Joris) Partners in Crime 6.0 video section that'll be up on Soul website on the 10th of March.
Steven Ortega sent through this photo of a table three somewhere in Spain. We're headed to the North (Bilbao) next month. It looks as if there's a ton of concrete bowls and some decent street to explore.
We're not giving much away here but....Joris is headed to Simpel Session on a prototype street frame that he helped design while on work experience at Proper a year ago. Simpel Session is media overload so I guess there's no point trying to keep it under wraps now. We've dubbed the frame the B.S.H. 'cos it's built like a brick sh.....you get the idea. Although apparently this is a compliment paid to women in the US? so I guess the frame is un-named for now.
Our Scandinavian distributor Childstore got a fresh new website, so clean that you will probably notice that hes got better looking Proper parts pictures than us. Might be the reason why Proper was biggest demand on the first day of the his website. Proper = Popular? YES.
It's that time again....actually it's past that time this year. Simpel Session is back and Joris, Miller, Berry, and Janis are headed to Estonia. Click here to watch the action this weekend. Here's Janis;
Proper has decided to move in an exciting new direction for 2010. The good news is that Proper will now be available through Full Factory Distribution in the US. Full Factory will carry Sunday, Proper, Odyssey, GSport, and Flatware. We couldn't be happier about working with Jim Cielencki's team and alongside some of the best brands in BMX. Proper product may be hard to find in the US right now but that's likely to change for the better over the coming months.
Miller was on a short trip to Portugal with Carhartt team mates for a Visit My Town trip due to feature in some printed media. Rumors are that he killed that really deep concrete bowl on the otherside of Lisboa city. Until you get a chancet to see Miller captured in the next Carhartt ad, you'll be pleased to know that the boy will enter Estonia Simpel Session street and party courses. Check Carhartt uk blog by the way, lots of interesting stuff.
Nike's Partners In Crime website is live. There's a bunch of content about Michael and Joris for you to take a look at, and an interview with Dave, which is a good read.
Since Michael Beran and Joris are both on Proper and Nike 6.0 they've been filming for a new project called 'Partners in Crime'. I guess the edits are going to be dropping pretty soon now but here's the trailer. I'm not entirely sure which other teams are involved but there's definately some shredders like Bengo, Farren, Bookworm, and Harold in the mix.
Miller filmed a few clips for Dig's website last week while we were all knee deep in snow.
Despite the name, its not the Reunion island but a 6.0 french team meeting video with joco aka Joris Coulomb whos shredding an indoor park with his mates from the french Nike6.0 team. Dope riding and some killa moves in that Nike 6.0 Soul magazine.
Dennis Kicza who rides Proper via GandS distribution has a bikecheck on Freedom website, the german magazine, Wunderbar!
Tonash is snowed in with a bunch of footage and going off. He made this edit out of the footage he filmed of construction for the Nike Tunnel Jam.
The new issue of Dig is on the shelves.......with all the snow it's about the only thing left to buy in Nobbs of Haslemere! This might be the best issue since the legendary 'Trails Issue'. Pick up a copy and see exactly what is going on with Gavin falling from the skies of Brighton and numerous guest appearances from 'friends of the show'!!
I'm sure this is under the radar of interest for 95% of people that ride a bike but.......the latest generation of our female hubs have a hollow 14mm axle (that sits just proud enough to fill a 14mm drop out) and 10mm bolts. You'll also note the cone nuts are now one piece, allowing easier access for maintenance of your hub. Out now!
Yes, this trip happened last summer and it took a little while to get those pictures of Gav, Max and Miller in Soul magazine but it was definitely worth the wait. Both Gav and Max full page pictures easily sum up how good riders they are. I usually dont post magazine pictures (they belong to paper not web) but this Soul issue was out a while ago and the trip is even older (check video section). So respect the bread from now.
Nothing revolutionary. It's a screw on hubguard that fits quite a few hubs including Proper and comes in a bunch of cool colours. Small enough not to stick out under the drop out on frames where they're pretty small (like a TTL). 7075. No need to spread the chainstays etc.
Shane. Along way from the desert. Channel 4 run it's show about the Tunnel Jam. If you managed to work out when this was going to be on telly you're too clever to be riding a BMX. Click here to watch the show.
Our Brazilian distristributor got that mix edit done with their local Proper rider Felipe Esquito, if your in South America, get in touch with Paco bikes to order ProperBikeCo products.
Joris sent through this picture from a feature in the latest issue of Soul magazine from France.
Miller sent over this picture from Dave Mirra's Animal House Jam......pretty suave.
It seems as if the internet has been providing live BMX coverage for years and that ultra fast edits of contests were around for years before that.....
