Anthem Bike Co. 2016 Comply & FMS Framesets

Anthem sent over some of the first pictures of their new 2016 Frames including the FGFS specific “Comply” frame, and their new 26″ BMX frame titled the “FMS” (110mm rear spacing). The new models now include a top tube gusset, chainstay grind plates, and spacing for 2.5 tires as well as the same 8mm thick dropouts that accommodate up to 42mm diameter pegs. The fork will be a 405mm a2c with a 20mm rake. No details on the geometry of these frames yet, but they look killer. Stay tuned for more info and follow @anthembikeco on the gram.

Michael Penrose | Pole Hop

Myself and Penrose went out to film some street yesterday and we both ended up getting pretty hurt. We still managed to snag a few clips though including this rad pole jam hop from Penrose aka @therealbobbyhill . We got to this spot and we discovered that the main part of the spot is now capped. Penrose eyed up this weird bump jump over a pole jam though and sent it after a few goes. Watch out for the clip in his upcoming web edit we’re working on.

PRICKLY PEAR JAM 2016

A jam is going down in AZ (courtesy of Turf Bikes) this May titled the “Prickly Pear Jam”. AZ FGFS is going off right now and this jam will be as well. 100% rider supported and created. If you can make it, you need to go to this, cause it’s gonna be insanely fun. DIY spot, BBQ, camping, homies, and FGFS. What else could you ask for? Visit the Prickly Pear Jam website for more info!
