Signal BMX

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 7TH 2008 12-8pm - will see the 6th year of the FREE festival, which celebrates all the cool things that are goin on in Bristol

The Saltash trails jam has been postponed due to torrential rain. That's right, the crazy UK weather has held us back yet again. The jam will now be re-scheduled for the 4th October. Do not forget that this is the Sal'tache' trails jam, this means that all participants now have an extra month to groom their mustache. See you there!

Tonight must be “good things on the internet night” because after coming across the video below, I got stuck watching this great video about Jay Z’s Reasonable Doubt album, then I stumbled across this amazing photo journal on David Lang’s site. Photographer Damion Winter has been following Obama’s campaign and presented a handful of great [...]

Two things happened to me when I watched this. One, I realized I’ll never become a good speller and two, I laughed a lot. It’s funny because even though there were only about 25 words in that first sentence, with my luck, even after I spell checked, I’ll have a miss spelled word in there… [...]

Head over to the FIT SITE to check a little vid of owain dodging the rain…

Colton and John! from John Alden on Vimeo.
Little John came through with another video, this time with Colton.  I think Colton lives in Red Deer or Medicine Hat or somewhere like that and Little John lives in Airedire, which used to be a town, but now is a suburb of Calgary. Either way, or this way and the other, this is their new vid.

October always seems to be one of the best months of the year for dirt jumping in New Hampshire, it’s cooler out and the dirt stays really good all day.  Highland Mountain is kicking off the month with a jam in the dirt jump park.

Enjoy live bands from Rock to Punk to Metal throughout the jam, bringing talent from all over New England, complete with Red Bull girls and DJ. Full cafe and finally a beer garden.
Format:
This Jam is for all rider levels; registered riders can take as many runs through the jumps as they want during the 1:00 - 4:00 PM jam session.  At the conclusion of the jam all registered riders will be given a ballet to vote for the days standout performances; best trick, best style/flow, best run, best overall shredder.  Save a little energy for the high jump contest at 4:30 PM on the last jump of the slopestyle course… freebird.  Each category will receive prizes including a 2009 Highland Mountain season pass, and various other products from our sponsors. Well also have a cash buy in, head to head, winner take all gamble if anyone wants to make some money betting a trick/run score against someone else. Choose a game of PIG or riders votes for winner.

Schedule:
Practice:  10:00-12:30
Jam 1:00pm – 4:00pm
High Jump : 4:30pm
Registration: all morning

Maybe I should just turn the whole blog over to this guy:

"Hey since you are somewhat of an important member of the industry, I thought i would let you be one of the first to know about my new company, Popcycle BMX.


Our first product will be this innovative new frame. It has pretty standard geometry, so i want bore you with any of that. What is important is what you cant see in the picture. It is actually a lugged frame similar to what you would see in high end steel road bikes. what this allows us to do is bond the tubing together with our proprietary "cold weld", fiber reinfarced, epoxy. Not only does this allow for weight savings, but it also creates a frame that has fully customizable geometry. With a torch, the rider will be ably to heat the epoxy to soften i and loosen the hold. Toptube length, headtube angle, seat tube angle, and chainstay length will be fully adjustable using this technique. AS an added bonus, each frame comes with extra epoxy, so that in the rare event of breakage, the rider will be able to do the necessary repairs in minutes with out even needing a welder!

The attached file is an image of our frame.

Although this frame is highly advanced, our target price is around 250 to 300 dollars, which is a great deal in the current market.

Keep an eye out for our seats, streetwear, and eventually a series of web edits!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best idea I've ever heard. My wallet—and my torch—are ready.

Due to the heavy rain the jam has postponed until the 4th and 5th of October.

I’ll start by admitting that a lot of people, myself included, aren’t 100% excited about the looks of the modern day Lotus. But I really want to love it, because on every other level, Lotus is killing it. Aside from being the manufacturer of the Tesla Roadster, Lotus also produce their own Elise and Exige–badass [...]
