Here is our latest ad featuring Troy Merkle and the Stolen Roulette series of wheels, hubs and rims. The rims are light as fudge (16.1oz) with a welded seam and come in cool powder coated & CP colors. We have tested the wheels for well over a year and they are holding up awesome. We just returned from overseeing the production in Taiwan and the bulk of the wheels will arrive to distributors at the end of July but we air shipped a small amount of them so if you are one of the lucky few you will be able to buy them in about a week.

The Local Exposure Tour has their video's up on their new site featuring Stolen team rider Shawn Real. [here]

Troy shot this video of himself and we think it is the coolest video we have seen in a while. Enjoy!

Here is one of our test riders bikes. It looks like a hillbilly Sunday school picnic but don't tell him cause he is color blind and he thinks it looks good. He is testing a bunch of new '09 Stolen gear and we figured we would give you a sneak peek.

Here's a couple of clips from Troy giving his new Stolen Roulette Wheels a work out. The wheels are really light weight, and strong. They are coming in some cool colors like Troy's Gang Green samples and will be available in a cassette or free coater version. Stay tuned...

Christine "Stine" Lisnock controls all of Greasy Comb's money and is one of it's partners. She tells them what they will get paid and when we are spending to much money which is most of the time. We thought we would do something nice for her for Mothers Day so we built her this bike. We sold her bike to some Japanese BMX film crew when she was pregnant so she hasn't had a bike for a while. Stine has ridden BMX bikes longer than most, she was the #3 Pro racer in the country back in the 80's and still rides every few days except when she is broken or pregnant.

Ride UK "F'd" up and put our ad in the magazine as a .jpeg so we are posting the ad as it should have looked. Ride stepped up and didn't charge us so all is cool... This ad is for two new bikes that will be out in less than a month. We already told you about the Sinner but the Odyssey equipped Cheater has never been seen before as we have kept it under wraps until now. I will shoot some detail photos of each bike w/ specs soon.

Stolen riders Morgan Long & Ariel Greer have left LA bound for the JOMOPRO contest held at the Autumn Rapmp Park in Joplan MO. Go and check it out should be a good time.

Check out some clips of Stolen's Troy Merkle & others; Winters in Ohio can suck, this Winter in particular has seemed to drag on for a while. This video was shot during a couple sessions at a TRP, Chenga 57, The Cellar (and one clip from Rays). Good weather and sessions in the sun are just around the corner...

I found this t-shirt in the night market and I find that it is of typical Taiwan design. Lucky for us their manufacturing capabilities are much higher.
We are overseeing the current bike and part production as well as finalizing the design on our 2009 projects. We have a lot of exciting new products in the works and the 2009 bikes will for sure be our best ever! Stay tuned for news as it happens...

Here's an email from Troy: I'm out here riding in Colorado. The weather is amazing compared to Ohio. I head back home on Wednesday. Here are a couple of photos from my trip so far.

Our next door neighbor in the US office Boyd Coddington of the Discovery channels 'American Hotrod' fame died yesterday. Our condolences go out to his family and staff especially his son Greg who is our good friend and a fellow BMX'r.

Head on over to databmx.com and check out Troy's bike check.
