The 6.0 Tunnel event took place weeks ago but finds its coverage in the new issue. Londoners make it to Israel to ride. Sounds pretty crazy and of course makes for a good story. To be honest I'd never heard of Andy Martinez before but he gets a proper

New Era took fitted caps to the next level. Thousands of different designs have hit the market and over at Vans they've got their own models too. Once you know your size, you can start looking around. But Vans didn't stop at New Era, they allowed FlexFit into their hat program too. The 210Fitted by Flexfit has a good feel as well but the sizing is a little different. So before you have to cut your hair off to make it fit, try one on before you mailorder it.

Brian Scura invented the Gyro in the ‘80s, reinvented it as the Oryg when his Odyssey contract expired in the ‘90s, and he’s been tweaking it ever since. Odyssey tried their hand at improving the detangler seven or eight years ago, but early models were stiff, heavy and expensive. Brian has never believed his spinner needed refinement, but we did, and in 2003 we decided to fix it. The SNAFU Mobeus is the realization of that effort, and a random survey of all the pros that use brakes would prove we succeeded.
