Apparently, times are tough and some magazines are on the ropes and it looks like Freedom is falling foul of its publishing company who is apparently running out of cashflow, which would be a huge shame as Freedom has been going for decades. Fingers crossed Kay Clauberg and the riders there pull something out of the bag to keep it going – otherwise this could be the last issue. Anyway, G&S placed a full-page ad in the latest issue featuring Mark inverting the bejeezus out of a Bar End hip, shot by Davros, designed by Chris.

The more eagle-eyed of you will spot that this ad also appeared in CASE BMX Magazine as a double pager — now there’s one magazine which is bucking the trend and just going from strength to strength: the last issue is all gone and sold out, which now makes it bigger than Dig (in the UK at least) and pretty much on equal footing with Ride UK… (I do know a thing or two about magazine sales figures). No joke — CASE is doing it. Rider-owned, independent BMX mags are where it’s really at.

Soul Magazine is rolling along well, Ben Bello and the guys there really know what’s up – and they recently put out an all-trails issue back in the Summer, complete with a free copy of Compression DVD: what a package. Obviously, we had a full-page print ad in there – here’s a slightly sketchy photo of it – best get your hands on the magazine to check out some of France’s finest trails spots / riders / scenes. Plus, Davros has a story in there too… enjoy. Soul‘s awesome.

This is a preview of our new print ad as seen in the current issue of Fastlane Magazine, which is out now… yeah, it’s a little different from our usual ad campaign print ads: it’s racer shot. I’ve always been a sucker for the gate-start photo, and this one features Daniel Longhurst who races on the UK Profile Racing Team aboard one of our limited edition V-brake frames. Dan rides trails and races on the weekends, so he’s a perfect candidate for our V-brake model if I ever saw one; it’s all about the Bicycle Motocross. So we put this rad ad together for Fastlane. Get your hands on a copy and enjoy.

Plus, here’s a video from the recent Bournemouth National (unfortunately Dan popped his shoulder out racing here).

Fresh from last weekend’s Welcome Jam at Mark‘s house, here’s a flip-book from Rob Dolecki /  Twice BMX… bloody ace. As Rob says, “A pictorial of the 2010 Welcome Jam at Potoczny‘s trails on the outskirts of Pittburgh, Pennsylvania, which featured a high jump comp and nighttime festivities with bands and bonfire wildness. Brought to you by Round Two BMX.” Flip through the pages, check it out – best viewed in Full Screen…

Lights Out @ Lav’s w/ Anthony Napolitan – More BMX Videos

Most people in the industry right now are getting set up for Interbike, which is in 2/3 weeks time – us included (see you on booth 5553, if you’re going). To whet your appetite for Vegas, here’s a quick edit of Anthony Napolitan riding TJ Lavin‘s at night… enjoy.

Dave just hit us up with a couple new photos of his Deluxe build, looks right at home here. Dialled bike too… that’s a 2010 frame, Slams, Profiles, and a Comp3 front tyre. What a set-up.

Dave Cronce, nac…

Our good friend Sylvain Taro, who helps us out all the time with product CAD work here at Deluxe, has just got himself a new Tech2 frame set-up, and it looks bloody ace… it’s built up with a bunch of great parts, there are more photos after the jump — along with a pic of what Syl gets up to on it when he’s testing and riding our parts at his trails in France.

The Tech2 front end is so dialled… here’s our new F-Lite stem which Sylvain designed (out in November).

More good stuff: Superlight seat, Superlight seatclamp, 36T F-Lite sprocket, Profiles, and that’s a custom Deluxe brake yoke as well…

New XXL size Handlebars in Cleancoat to match the frame colour, plus Shovelhands grips. This rig is set!

And this is what Sylvain does on it all day long… roastin’!
