Federal BMX is pleased to announce a series of limited edition collaboration seats with contemporary street artists. Both BMX street riding and graffiti share similar terrain and a desire to do something unique in an everyday environment, often expressing creativity illegally and against the constraints of time. This synergy combined with a mutual appreciation of each other’s skill and dedication meant this felt like the perfect partnership.

For the second seat in our current campaign we’ve teamed up with Aroe. If you’re not already familiar with Aroe, he’s an infamous graffiti artist from Brighton who has travelled the world creating freehand art pieces. His work can be viewed in his hardback book “Results not excuses” as well as on his Instagram @aroe_heavyartillery.

-Limited to 150
-Pivotal Stealth System only
-Custom Federal seat tag
