Ismael – 12/01/2023

Ismael out of France just tossed together some solid clips for his Youtube. Ender caught me super off guard, so good!

Seongmin Summer Clips 2022

Seongmin from Korea has been on my radar for a bit now. BMXer turned FGFS rider, so naturally he’s already got great bike control. Smooth stuff, I hope he sticks with it.

2 From Manila

Two from the other side of the world. Both of these start out slow but then get into some more serious tricking towards the end!

84Kick Chile Solo Edits

84kick recently dropped a trip video from his Chile visit. The video included some solo sections from some of Chile’s killer riders so he’s now uploaded them individually for us to enjoy!

NEW RESIST CRANKS OUT NOW

Something I didn’t expect to see in 2023… a Resist resurgence?! If you don’t know, Resist was the leading FGFS parts company from 2010-2013 owned by Volume Bike Co. 10 years later, it looks like they’re making a resurgence. Maybe my email from September telling them to bring Resist back actually made them think about it 😳. Either way… this is crazy. I wonder if this is a one off tribute to their dead parts company or there are plans to bring back more, we’ll reach out for further comment. For now though, snag a pair of brand new Resist Cranks here. Here’s what Volume says about em:

“The new Limited Edition Resist Cranks: We added a new heat treatment process, thicker tubing and made them with a stiffer shape.

All for those that need the security of a stress-free crank.

Heat-treated tubular chromoly arms with a forged spindle boss that is flush with the arm to reduce ankle scarring, 48 spline, 19 mm hollow chromoly spindle and flush mount spindle bolts. RHD/LHD compatible. And, they come with a manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty against cracks & breaks.
