I took this picture of Christian Hamrick’s Grime G.O.A.T a few weeks ago, while I was hanging out in down town San Jose. I’ve always been a fan of RAW, unpainted frames & white wall tires, and photos taken like this of bikes.
I caught this picture of Jonah Kessel throwing a tuck no hander while we spent the day hanging out in Venice Beach. Jonah has mad bike handling for someone his age, and it’s rippers like him that are going to be the future of the sport.
Here’s a sneak peek at The Grime’s new 26″ freestyle tires. Mike has been putting em’ through the ringer for the past few weeks now, to see how they hold up. I like the tread pattern on em, doesn’t matter which direction you run em’.
I recently had a bunch of Wheel Talk Stickers made to slap around, hand out, and sell online. The image above is just of the sticker backings check out more photos HERE. Head over to our webstore to pick up some Stickers (3 for $2) and Shirts ($20 a pop). Enter the discount code “REALTALK” to get an additional 15% off all shirts.
I took this picture of Jakob Santos’ prototype Resist sprocket the last day of our trip down south. I’m digging the overall look and design of this new sprocket, finally some originality. It seems like more and more companies are beginning to drop aluminum and build solid 1-piece steel sprockets. As apposed to using high grade aluminum (7075) w/ a steel insert, which can develop play overtime. Steel is real.
While we were down in LA filming for Shredwell2, Mike, Ed, & Krillz all got matching tattoos in our hotel room, the last night we were in town. This is definitely going to be one of those trips + experiences that I’ll never forget.
I’ve been running the same pair of Sadio Swoop Cranks for the past 9 months now, and I haven’t had a single problem with them. I used to go through crank sets every few months, either from bending or twisting crank arms, but these Sadio Cranks have withstood quite the beating, and lived to talk about it. With an added pedal gusset, these guys are built to last. If you’re in the market for cranks, save yourself the trouble, and get 175’s. Screw toe clearance, it’s all about torque. Best upgrade I’ve ever made.
I made this Advertisement for iMiNUSD, of their boy Ed Wonka scoping out Hollywood High’s 12 stair handrail. While most people consider us to be, criminals, miscreants, and scoundrels, I like to think of us as architecture enthusiasts. We’re just here to admire, and make use of these beautiful architectural designs.
