James Madarang | 14.

Been a while since anything from James dropped. Hell, anything from the 209 cogs crew has been scarce lately. But this shows young James has definitely been staying at it. Killing it with big barspin variations and very smooth flatground combos. 700c still alive. James killed this one.

NORIDAORE IV.

Devour films released the video for the Noridaore Japanese FGFS comp in Osaka, and it looked like such a fun time. Simple but fun looking course that the riders killed. 700c still going strong over there, Funny and Nasty killed it! RSK and Marco with some shred too. check it out. More events like this need to happen in the states.

Simon Gomok | 2013 Profile.

Earlier this year, Simon came out to the states to travel and ride bikes. He ended up filming most of this, went across the states for the Grime Coast to Ghost tour, placed in Red Bull Ride + Style, and broke his wrist. I’d say that’s a pretty successful trip if you ask me. This footage is really solid, Simon has such a buttery style. I was stoked when I saw this was out cause it’s been a while since we’ve seen anything from him. Doin’ it big for Bombtrack.

ALTAR TRIBE | Burial Bar Update.

Get stoked, cause the ALTAR TRIBE Burial Bars are on their way to heat treating and powder coating. After 9 months of testing (and counting) from 4 different riders, they have proven to be the strongest riser bars ever produced, with none of them bending or breaking in the slightest bit. 4 Inch rise, .083 tubing wall thickness. If you like riser bars but couldn’t find a pair that are strong enough, these are the bars for you. Check back here to stay updated, or follow @altar_tribe on Instagram for the latest updates.
