When you ride with ear buds in you exclude yourself from everyone else on the ramp. The beat might be pumping but you're missing out on the conversations at the park. The Vigor Audio helmets have a different solution. Basically you are in the middle of the transportable speaker that is inside your helmet. Your ears aren't covered so you can hear traffic and the cracking jokes of your mates on the platform but you still get to listen to your favourite music. The blue tooth connection with your phone or music player connects with the helmet and you just hit play and the music starts. The three buttons take care of the easy control of going to the next track, pauze, track back and turning the sound up or down. The built in USB port lets you charge the helmet for the next 6 hour session. The 14 vents keep you fresh on a hot day or when you're sweating like a pig at the indoor park.
Jakub Juza was added to the flow team just over a year ago after visiting his home town Prague while filming for 'Loose Change' video. Technical riding mixed in with some heavy bangs from the Czech Republican.
We teamed up with LUX BMX to put on the first annual Gnarcherfield Jam. The plan was pretty simple, we chose a park that was pretty basic but in a good location to be able to build some DIY setups which ended up working real well. We gave away a bunch of cash and everyone had a great time. We're already hyped for the next one!
Jonny Mackellar throwin' the mack down in this Welcome to S&M edit expertly filmed and edited by James Fox. Jonny joined the rest of the Australian Shield Squad on a trip earlier this year but thanks to a nudge from the boyz at Backbone BMX, he's now officially one of us. Without further ado... herrrrrrrrrrrre's Jonny! Rider: Jonny Mackellar @ttermite666 (high five cameo by Timmy Weekes)
Eze and I met at Woodward this summer.. and automatically we had the vibe to get stuff done. The crew mentioned a few parks we have in our local area (Fresno ca) and he was very hyped.. He made it really clear that he wanted to pump out and edit for his trip to California... boy did he make that happen with only 5 days of filming Eze got a lot of footage stacked up. And I couldn't be more pleased with the final product.--Reagan Riley

GT Bicycles Produced this Video back in 1986. GT Factory Riders: Eddie Fiola, Martin Aparijo, Brian Scura and some new guy Josh White. Combined with some cheesy music, it brings back a lot of good memories!
GT Bicycles presents 4130 1993, Eddie Roman produced/directed. Twenty eight minutes of racing (lots of Gary Ellis and Charles Townsend), flatland, halfpipes/parks and trails. Soundtrack is a bunch of indie/underground metal, punk and alternative rock. I touched up the picture a little bit in FCPX and remastered the audio as well using Soundtrack Pro. The tracking goes a bit wonky at the very end, but it's nothing catastrophic. Feel free to trainspot any riders or locations or bikes. Looks to me like some of the flatland is mostly SoCal beaches, and the racing is somewhere in Florida I think.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
