NEW MIKE AITKEN SEATS ARE IN

July 8th, 2008

Speaking of Aitken, the new Nightwolf and Denim Red saddles have arrived at our warehouse, and they are looking niiiiiice.

The Nightwolf saddles are available in the two colorways shown, Grey and Blue/lavander fade. The NEW Denim version is a "reverse" black denim (opposite side of regular black denim), which looks like a light greyish and has red stiching. You may have seen it on Chase Hawk's bike, as they were his idea.

Contact your local shop or mailorder for more info.

OLD MIKE AITKEN AD

July 3rd, 2008

I had to hack into Bauer's computer today to look for a photo, and came across this Aitken ad from a little while back. Basically, It's being posted because it's badass!!!

This photo was taken in our warehouse here in California during one of Mike's visits. Our sketchy ramps were setup in front of the stock shelves (you can see some of the inventory) in the best location to allow Mike some setup and runway space from outside. Jeff Z. was called in, and Mike fired out this sweet move.

If you look closely, you can see our forklift, and the extension cord which is powering the Odyssey sign.

Click on the pic to see it big.

Have a good 4th of July weekend!

The new issue features Terry Adams on the cover, as well as Matt Beringer on the back cover. On the inside, Terry has an interview, and Matt has a "day in the life" piece.

BAUER/METAL

June 30th, 2008

Our boy Jim Bauer is currently out on a trip with the Metal bikes team. Good times indeed. Be sure to pick up that Metal vid if you haven't.

If you see the crew, make sure to say whats up. Bauer is most likely the one not wearing black or leather.

RONNIE GASKA

June 30th, 2008

Lately I've been helping out my boy Ronnie Gaska with some parts, which is awesome since he's one of the people I looked up to from back in the day on Long Island. The race scene might remember G-Man, but he was always smooth at the trails too, and still is.

Above is a recent pic of Ronnie at the Trails on Long Island, shot by Dave from Panamoka.

Check out more random pics at F*CKBMX too.

The new version of terryadamsbmx.com launched today and has a fresh look along with nearly 100 photos, more than 20 videos, and a whole lot more!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to drop you a line announce that I just launched my new site. The URL is still terryadamsbmx.com, but the entire site has been redone from the ground up. I have a blog on there now so I’ll be keeping you updated on a regular basis and posting photos from my travels. I also added nearly 100 photos to the photo section and more than 20 videos to the video section. Under “coverage” you’ll find some of my best magazine coverage from the past few years, and of course my contact info is on the site in case a potential new sponsor wants to get in touch with me or book me for a demo.

Thanks to all of you and my sponsors, Odyssey, Red Bull, A Bad Thing, Lotek, and Raising Cane’s for their support. I’ll see you at the riding spot!

Sittin’ on Chrome!!!

June 13th, 2008

I took a look at the web today and it seems by bike is all over the place, and that's weird. I guess this little shout out goes to the 3 pages on BG and the name mention on SPRFLS. I am going to take a minute here to answer the questions I have seen and to straighten out all of the inaccuracies that are floating around. Hope this helps.-ben

TANWALL TIRES

June 11th, 2008

Some of you eagle-eyed the Tanwall tires in those riding pics that Jim posted from the other day, and emails/comments began.

Above is a better pic of my bike with the Tanwall tires so you can check them out (click the pic for bigger version). The front is a knobby Aitken, and the rear is a Path. The label on the tire is not right, so disregard that.

These Tanwall tires are being made to "look" like old school skinwalls, but are way more durable as the casings coincide with what we are offering now. Actual skinwalls wouldn't hold up very well these days, but the Tanwalls will.

These are a few months out. More info soon.

OS-BMX DAY

June 9th, 2008

A bunch of us were on hand at the OS-BMX meet in Long Beach, CA this weekend.

There was a bunch of amazing old school bikes and bmx legends on hand. The pic above is from a vendor who was selling old Odyssey caliper brakes, and other assorted stuff.

Check out Defgrip for a bunch of pics from the day.
