We make a big deal about around here about the Legacy of SBC, the style, the products, the people. Sometimes things move so fast in the production phase that the steps we take forward aren’t always set out on front street for all to see. We just move forward and do what we do best, that’s Standard. So, to remove some of the mystery behind the process, we bring you the first step in prototyping a new project, The Juke. Maybe it starts with an idea, or an email, many phone calls some napkin sketches, then it

Just after the new issue of Zwanzig Zoll hit the market, the Berlin crew announced that they've got a new website up. But to get the real feeling of the magazine you have to pick up a copy at the local BMX shop or kiosk over in Germany. You'll find Brian "Brother from an other mother" Kachinsky featured in the new FATBMX.com advertisement. He didn't have to kill himself for this one, he just crossed up the handlebars and added some style.

What else is in the new issue? Here's the list:
GUINNESS RECORDS, MELLOWPARK UPDATE, MADE IN QUEENS, FRISS DRECK JAM PLAUEN, VERLETZUNGSMUSTER WITH SERGEJ GEIER, TELEKOM X-TREME PLAYGROUNDS DUISBURG, ILTISPARK FOREVER, SHUTTERSWORLD, MAXSOMENOISE, GIRLS, TELEKOM LOCAL SUPPORT BERLIN, PRODUKTPAGE, INTERVIEWS: ANDY ZEISS, CHESTER BLACKSMITH, RICH HIRSCH

Integrated seat clamps on frames are all the rage these days, but the SNAFU crew is a fan of the tried-and-true alloy clamp. Snafu's new Cerrito clamp goes one better on the standard design by using a stainless-steel insert for the threads. Over-tightening the bolt won't pull the alloy threads out of the clamp. Available in three colors and two sizes later this month.

Over the weekend we heard some shocking news. B&D Verlag, publisher of Freedom BMX magazine and also a MX, Sk8board, and MTB mag is bankrupt. What!!?? I immediately felt for the people who are working there and also thought about the history of the magazine. If you're at number 94, you do want to make it to number 100, at least. So far the insolvence company has picked up the paychecks that's why issue #94 is here. Also the next magazine (#95) is in the works. What happens after that remains to be seen. Here's the options:
1. No more Freedom
2. Another publisher picks up all the magazine titles and it's business as usual
3. Someone buys the Freedom BMX title and keeps it going one way or the other.
If you want to show your support to the mag, buy yourself a copy. It can only help keep Freedom BMX alive. #94 has the following to offer:
