Keeping up long-term and well-working relationships is a virtue Carhartt is really keen on in all brand facets. Especially towards BMX the collaboration with WethePeople brought out a remarkable collection of gloves, grips, a bike pump and a 24” BMX Cruiser last season. This season one decided again on a limited white BMX Cruiser that is beyond questioning. The latest Carhartt Cruiser made together with WethePeople is the perfect complement for every BMX Riders collection.

Picked this up at one of these giant supermarkets that sells everything. It’s incredible how many magazines are made in France. Found this guide to the French skateparks on the stands and gladly paid the two Euros and fifty cents for it. 100 pages of skateparks in A5 size full of info and pictures. The parks are divided in districts and damn, there are some nice parks listed in this book. Not all of them are listed as I’ve been to four on this trip that did I did not see on these pages. Downfall is that the mag is in French (I’m trying..) and that the info does not have the exact addresses listed of the parks.

DC sponsors some major players on the BMX circuit by a BMX specific shoe hasn't been on the program. A colorway or an existing model with your name on it is a way to show support to BMX, but designing a model from the ground up is really the next step. The "Tactic-Mid" has been designed with BMX in mind. The Tactic sole is a bit deeper for more grip on the pedals. Because it's a mid-top model you will have some ankle support which comes in handy when

The new Racerhead FL came to be by a round table discussion in the shop one night. Kris and Mikey ride park and trails as much as they ride the race tracks and wanted a cool front load stem to slap on to their new Passion frames.

So we sat down sketched something up, took it to the machine shop and made a sample, it was close, but we wanted it to be a little sleeker, and a little lighter, so we refined it down three more times to get what we wanted. Then we slapped them onto Kris and Mikey's personal trail bikes and let them have at it. After a few months of testing and making sure it was what they wanted we put it into production and what you see today is the final result. 

It’s out and it’s wet like Hadrien Picard who sacrifice himself to shoot this pretty rare photo of Dylan Smith doing a tyreslide on a curb. Find attached to the magazine the VANS DVD of 2 big tours : Wheels of Rock (props rocknr’oll look alike) and Let It Ride. In this issue:
-Let It Ride comp with Dylan Smith on board
-Vans Wheels of Rock tour
-Dijon local scene report
-Flatland in Osaka

You either wear gloves when you ride or you don't. There's no mix. If you're used to riding with them, you'll miss them if you did not pack them in your bag on the way to the riding session. DC has designed a pair of gloves with the help of their team riders. They feel pretty thick on the outside and I bet that helps keep your fingers warm when the weather gets colder in a few months. The palm side of the glove is skinny though for maximum feel of the grips.

Month after month, year after year, BMX Plus! has served the BMX community with coverage for a long time. Australian Chris O'Donnell scores the cover. It's always good to see an international rider make the cover of an American magazine. But again, the content list is long. The Inside Scoop shows you the latest news and who's B-day it is in September. They go over two old issues (one ten years old, one 5 years old) and bring you a few DVD reviews. Letters get answered without the people who write in getting cut to pieces. Catfish gives you four games to play while on the road. You know you'll have good times when Catfish is around and playing these games will get you on the way to have just as much fun. A double page spread with Luke Parslow tells you his story about getting to the USA and trying to stay there. BMX PLUS! brings How-to's. This time the Downside Footplant and a 540 on a wedge. Bikes that got tested were the Free Agent Hellcat and the Intense Clutch.
