How do you like the looks of the new Meybo?
Merel Smulders: Yes! I love the combination of darker colors and the Matte finish. Something totally different compared to our bright red bike last year, but I love it!
Black frame with anthracite accents, black parts and a few parts that stand out like the oil-slick pedals. Any reason for the colour of the pedals?
Awesome vintage BMX movie filmed on Schwinn Stingrays around 1976 in Southern California titled "Born to be Wild".

Антон Филиппов выпустил крутое видео из парков Питера, в котором коротко рассказал почему любит кататься на BMX, а также сделал массу самых разных трюков. Все очень четко и красиво
Riding by Brett Decker, Oscar Wong, Chu Leung, and Clean George
Gary Young runs down his fresh 2021 Sunday Soundwave that he just built up with Odyssey parts. Watch the video for a closer look at what Gary runs and why.
Aside from many epic road trips through North America over the past near 2 years this is how I spent the rest of my time in Vancouver, Canada. Sadly we left earlier than hoped due to Corona but still stoked to be able to piece this video together and to be able to get back to Australia safe.

How do you like the carbon Chase frame?
Priscilla Steveaux: I ride both bikes Aluminium (spare bike) and Carbon but I love the stiffness of my carbon Chase frame ,it feels like all the energy and power are directed forward in each crank from gate until every move at jumps or manual ,you don't lose speed sideways .
What's the biggest difference between the carbon and the aluminium frame?
Priscilla Steveaux: The stiffness , in carbon frame you can feel you use 100% power in every move, feels faster on landing too. In aluminium frame its more flexible so you feel at jump you can put your bike wherever you want, the movement is more free and you feel more steezy too as its more flexible .
Is there anything custom on your bike?
Priscilla Steveaux: Yes I have in both bikes customized by Onyx Racing .
Is it difficult to buy good BMX racing parts in Brazil?
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
