how do you recycle aluminum plates that sprockets have been cut out of? like this, courtesy of dan sieg…that’s definitely dan in the photo.

man, jonah’s bike is so awesome.

the youtube and vimeo channels are updated with a new video of ian that harry edited up. a lot of good stuff in it, so watch it.

also, drew has an interview over on bmxunion where he touches on his injury, his aardvark penis looking cast, and a lot of other stuff.

the new issue of rideuk (118) has a photo of russell mis-captioned as tony malouf.

jonah bike check and a race update sooon.

we’ve had a lot going on lately so that’s why the news has been sparse for the past week or so. today is no different either. just a quick update for now…

we have a couple new colors on some shirts. i suppose you could call them summer colors?

we also have track jackets in…and quite early too, haha. they come in black and red and are dope. i’ll get pictures up ASAP.

harry d. has edited a couple videos and i’ll be putting those up on our channels real soon.

strip bar samples will be in real soon for testing. can’t wait!

drew is back in moline and has an awesome “tattoo?” on his cast. i approve.

tulsa life.

check out this awesome edit harry made over on vital. it has some used and unused footage from STA and the music is completely original, from harry himself.

drew now has a hard cast on his arm that looks kinda like an uncircumcised penis.

first of all, go check out this INSANE VIDEO OF DREW. wowzers. drew was goin crazy, killing tulsa’s spots when this happened…

…put his hand through a windshield of an old truck trying a gap to rail. he had some serious nerve damage and the dr’s worst case scenario seems to be that he may not be able to make a fist. if you know drew, then you know he’ll be riding again. so call, text, or myspace him and give him some good words. he’s stuck in oklahoma for check-ups with the surgeon that worked on him.

also, there’s a cool AZ video over on the ride site that’s got some good riding from greg litecky…and it’s not racing.

We need a racer to test a prototype 20″ top tube race frame for us. Any riders that are interested can e-mail us at info@standardbyke.com or call 563-323-4894.

Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom Huck Jam
7/30/08 @ 6:30p
I Wireless Center

There is still time to get your tickets to see Tony Hawk and the rest of the Boom Boom Huck Jam crew. This years lineup is Tony, Kevin Staab, Jesse Fritsch, Sergie Ventura, and Neal Hendrix on the skate side. Kevin Robinson, John Parker, and Dennis McCoy head up the BMX and Drake McElroy, Gregg Garrison, and one more tba handling the Motocross. Plus Jason Ellis will be on the mic for the event.

You can pick tickets at any Ticketmaster outlet or stop by Goodtimes for a chance to win free tickets.

first up, we’ve started production on a 2008.5 250L. it has integrated, mid, and weighs in at 4.7lbs. They should be out real soon! Also, our metal working slave built our very own serial number stamper. this means that you can even customize your frame all the way down to the serial number (words, letters, or both and up to 10 characters)! I CALL 0000000069, haha!

here’s a photo of ty johnson at southpark taken by his dad, tom johnson. tom got cruiser wins at the same race. that’s awesome!

remember that custom 18″ 250L from this post? well, it belongs to ian hickman and here are some photos…

here’s an awesome video that hitcher sent with martyn shredding some super awesome and unique trails. looks so fun!

mike o’connell also has some videos online. i think i’ve posted these before, but it definitely doesn’t matter because they’re awesome…

video here

another here

more soooooon!

as mentioned in the previous post about litecky winning all his laps at rockford, here’s some more photos of the fun…

greg doing work

frank nuccio was on his new 125R. he mentioned that it was his best bike ever. not a bad compliment!

tim strange from strange motion

scott mcmahon turned pro on the sunday of rockford only to ride real fast, like he’s supposed to, and made the main.

team pro and vercoe builder, jeremy kaht. dope shirt.

benny sent me a link to flickr of his new roll-in, sans dirtjumps. he says he wants to know how much speed it’ll give before he starts building.

it’s always interesting when i get something from harry…

“I drank 2 redbull’s today & 100 rounds Of Taurine stops the Vitaliz body & mind.”

drew and i have been putting in time in front of the camera (at least when i’m not working) for a new edit to be seen either here, bnqt, or both (probably). we’re also planning a couple other fun things. keep an eye out here on the site.

first up, our boy owen getting his footplant on, kickin his 250L around.

drew’s going to be in tulsa with me (russell, if anyone didn’t know), so be on the lookout for some type of action from that. in the meantime, here’s drew’s set-up…

i texted harry delprete the other day. he was making a death ray. sweet. he sent a picture of his custom paint job.

and here’s a recent custom job. a 250L for 18″ wheels. some little guy out there has a dope ass ride.

drew bike check tomorrow or something.

you might notice that the main page is a little different. well, that’s because we’ve started to update this bitch. it’s a little old because we’ve been too busy…you know…riding and building badass bikes. you’ll notice that the front page has new photos a video player, with all the videos we’ve uploaded! it’s all sefl-contained, so you can scroll through, pick the vids you want and watch it. pretty nice! so, keep an eye out for other updates to happen in the future.

check back later tonight for a full news post.

THIS IS AN IMAGE OF A TRUE BADASS, hahaha!

so apparently, greg litecky races now…and wins. a lot. never lost a lap in his most recent race shenanigans. the awesome outfit in that photo and pro-tec helmet were his racing apparel. also, take note of his pre-race choice of hydration, an obvious choice. the bike he rode? his 250s without pegs. nice. how’s that for versatility? that frame has now official done flair 540 tailtaps and also won laps at a race. we’ll have more action photos soon. here’s the payoff…

here a couple of greg’s buddies and sbc homies, jerry and brandon panuccio. badasses by association (obviously)…

also, here’s ex sbc racer but still sbc homie nate shaffer rockin’ some sweet aviators that he probably got from rick…

upcoming jam in ohio…if you’re around, be sure to go…

The Standard race team went to the Michigan NBL race and put on a great pre race weekend clinic, showed off the tandem (double your horsepower?), raced great, and had fun camping…

Here are some pics of/from Chris Williams at the BMX World Chamionships in
China - he pulled a W4 on his cruiser and our great rider Peter Jensen
pulled a W2 on his 125r cruiser

getcha some of these!
