Here are some words from Adam Kun on his new signature prototype frame: “Hello to all riders! A couple days ago, I received my new prototype frame from KHEbikes. Its called: A-DAMN! Simply... I love it! I don't wanted a revolutionary new frame design, nothing new and special about the main tubes, all I wanted was a clean, nice looking desing to make the frame comfortable to any tricks. I also pay attention to the weight, which is really important in today's technical

The European streetwear version of Carhartt is a bit different from the American workwear that the Americans know. The best way to find out is to visit their website and be amazed by the available choice of pants, hoodies, knits, etc. Not only that, they support a full on BMX team and have been a FATBMX supporter for a while. Here are a few items we received in the mail. For more, go to: 

"I've been playing around with the design of this stem for some time and this is what turned out, hehe. I love it. It has a nice hollow look but you can see that I didn't shave too much material off it, so it is still solid and strong. Stems are one part on your bike that you don't want ever to snap while riding, so I like to keep it nice and strong.

First Words
Editor In Chief Keith Mulligan reflects back on the serious injuries Stephen Murray and Mike Aitken have suffered and adds in his two cents about the helmet issue. Here you go…Ride has finally addressed “the helmet issue” and it has never been so personal.

The Pro-Tec Hi 5 is a slim fitting, airy glove that provides exceptional grip and bar feel. A dual layer synthetic leather palm section helps keep a grip on reality while the lightweight corded nylon upper aids in ventilation. A no hassle elastic stretch wrist closure has the right fit every time with a handy pull tab. If you purchase these gloves and something in the material or manufacturing is wrong within the first 90 days, Pro-tec will replace the gloves. To keep the gloves smell good (and white), the best way to wash them is by using cold water and some mild soap and let them air dry.
