RADDEST DAY OF DIRTY FEST BMX SHOW Pt. 2 by Rad BMX Builds

THE BEST BMX SHOW EVER | Dirty Fest 3 Pt. 1 by Rad BMX Builds.

The upcoming drop of Redline Vintage Single Pinch 401 Series Flight Cranks and Techmatic Bearing sets is likely to be the last in 2025, and availability is becoming limited. This batch, which includes the sought-after white and chrome 175 and 180 mm specifications, is right on schedule for a mid-July shipping. For those who are comfortable placing a preorder, you'll benefit from a saving of around $100 on the crank AND BB set, along with free shipping within the US. Plus, you'll secure your set before they're all gone.

The limited batch of Pinchless 48-spline Cranksets will follow in July/August.

The all-new 6069 T-6 aluminum Diesel frames are dropping Friday, 6/6 at Dirtyfest 3 — but before they hit the dirt, take a cruise with us along the California coast and see why the Diesel is the frameset built for riders who want strength, style, and speed.

We have a big summer ahead with this inbound drop of authentic Redline Vintage 48 Wheels and Flight Cranks imminent, and the launch of the RL 40 Project, celebrating and indulging the introduction of the legendary RL 20 II Prostyler in 1985. Stay tuned to our social media pages and this newsletter for the fastest access to new product and for plenty of Redline history immersion as the year unfolds.

The shoes feature Bob Haro and Bob Morales on the second national Haro tour in 1982, captured riding in a demo at a BMX race by legendary action sports journalist and photographer Dean Bradley.

Sizes run from 8 - 13 while stocks last, and USA Shipping is free.

The market for Oldschool BMX bikes and parts has gone through the roof. But asking something, and selling for that price is something else. But if there is a market, and money can be made, there will always be people interested in it. Others love it for the sake of BMX history. They prefer to trade and help a fellow collector out who is looking for that one part that would complete their bike build. Either way, BMX history is being preserved and that's a good thing.

Marcel Hurk over at Oldschool Bike Parts in Heesch puts in the effort to get the Oldskool BMX community together at his place at least once a year. His "man cave" is like a BMX museum in itself. So much to see, so many parts. Crates and boxes full of stuff and he might just have the bike part that you're looking for. Marcel and his crew had ordered three MX Mug Bobble Heads and made trophies of them. They were rad. Three categories were awarded with a trophy. Several collectors had entered their bikes in the "competition" and several of them were beauties.

Gerrit Does made it over and he was asked some questions on the history of BMX. Always good to hear it straight from the source. No one better to ask it as Gerrit is responsible for a LOT of the early BMX developments in The Netherlands, Europe and actually worldwide through the IBMXF and later the integration into the FIAC/UCI.
