Now if you would ask what the new trends are in BMX after visiting the Eurobike show in Germany I'd have to say the following: Big Fat tires on the street bikes. Front and rear. Even up to 2.3 in the back but that Eastern tire looked even bigger. Heat treating is out, the frames won't last forever. Colours? Sure there are some but most companies go by a solid frame, with colour coordinated parts. It's the last year for purple to be cool. Saw a lot of orange (yes!). Brakeless bikes for street almost everywhere. Companies are still saving on weight left and right and in general the bikes are getting better and better. Check 'em:

#10 of ONLY 100 made , 1 Year Only !!

My very first classic BMX re-build.

Sunday 2nd wave and Sunday forks.

I've always wanted on of these.

My "Silver Rider". Got most of the parts from BMX Museum, this site rocks!! Just about all silver/gray scheme. First time to also lace my own wheels. Rear took me about 6 hour since I accidnetally off

Here is my 1999 Mongoose Californian and it is a 25th Aniversary model from 1999. It is all stock except for the GT Rythem System wheels.
I will type up a longer description soon.

Totally custom Dyno Slammer to my taste!

My first oldschool bike. In pretty good shape.

1994 Performer shines good got off CL

This was a Craigslist find, and I couldn't pass it up!

Another member found this bike, I asked him if he ever decided to part with it to hit me up, 5 months later it was mine.

The youngest Master in my collection......

Great find

Race-trim '79 Roger Decoster with '79 Tange fork

The Pioneers of Custom Paint Jobs Straight From the factory, the CycleCraft Frames were Innovative in Design & Superb on The Eye.

'Bad to the Bone'

Couple of BMX-related ways to help Haiti

Jared Souney Mt Baldy shirt.

Good news - Rick got his bike back. It was found in an apartment across the street from the D’port skatepark. Missing its brakes, but otherwise intact. Read about it here: http://www.standardbyke.com/blog/?p=2479

If you’re in the midwest, particularly around Davenport, IA/The Quad Cities, keep your eyes open, for Rick Moliterno’s bike. It was stolen earlier today from the Davenport skatepark. All of you outside of the area, lookout for it on craigslist or ebay. It is a pretty custom ride, with features and parts that only Rick [...]

Looks like Mark Eaton of Bang! Pictures and of course the “Dorkin in York” series of videos, is at it again. Following-up on the BMX documentary, “Joe Kid on a Stingray”, Eaton is releasing “Stompin’ Stu, the Story of BMX Legend, Stu Thomsen”. Looks like it will be similar in style to Joe Kid, with [...]

Man, it is a FBM weekend around here at the Roots. Here’s my latest build. Yep, its single speed, 39/16 gearing in the back. So smooth and fun to roll on, and built with a BMX flair and BMX parts I had around. FBM Sword 58cm frame Giant fork  Swobo seat Swobo post Profile seatpost clamp Easton low rise mtb bars Fly Ruben [...]

Too good - I noticed this on the FBM site when Crandall posted about the video shoot a few months back. You gotta watch it to see how they got Jay, Murph and Lou to “ride” in their new video for their song “I’m Over It”, from their upcoming album, Farm. Can I just say [...]

Nothing like a new term in BMX - and it is a trick that is completely over the top. Here’s a photo, courtesy of @odysseyBMX of Jim Bauer and Rooftop attempting a 1-handed backflip on a sidehack into the foam pit. They were at Woodward West for the Old School BMX Reunion. Should be a [...]

Sprocket Making Video from andy chapman on Vimeo. Nice little video of the making of the world-famous Tree sprocket at the world headquarters of Phil Wasson’s shop, Super Rat Machine Works. Damn, I miss Phil and Courtney, and my hot-pepper infused lattes (heh) from the Songbird. Found at TheComeUp.
