Help Get Bikes In Skateparks

This skatepark in Portland, OR said that they would allow bikes but it was another story when opening day rolled around, now people are being ticketed for riding there. I never really understood why a skatepark wouldn't allow bikes. In fact the only remotely good argument that I've ever was that metal pegs do more damage to concrete than any part of a skateboard. This is true, however would the city rather pay the to have the extra coping on the ledges and ramps, or would they rather pay the thousands upon thousands of dollars to up-keep their city when all the BMX riders are forced to ride street because they are booted out of the parks. Check out this article on TCU and do your part.

Nike 6.0 and 3 Inches Of Blood?

I don't really know what to say about this other than it's fucking weird. Nike has teamed up with 3 Inches Of Blood to produce this shoe. It looks like Hematochezia. Check out the article on Vital.

Jimmy Le Van Is Tough As Nails

There is a pretty good Jimmy Le Van interview up on the Dig site.

There Is A Shit Storm Brewing

This is a matter of personal opinion but here's what I think about Empirebmx.com:

What a bunch of tools... My buddy tried to order a new frame and some parts off of empirebmx.com, and first of all their website doesn't work, second: their reps bitch and moan about taking orders over the phone, like their job is that fucking difficult. When they finally got around to ordering the parts my friend was told that the frame was out of stock and had to be shipped in from another distributer AND that they were going to charge him an extra shipping fee to do so, he was told the same thing about the bars that he wanted to order. That would make three shipping fees for one order, and shitty customer service, it just doesn't make sense to run a business like that.

What it all boils down to is that: Empirebmx.com = Shitty website, shitty customer service, shit for stock, and a shit load of extra fees.

Pedal Buyers Guide

Apparently a bunch of companies sent Ride their best pedals and the stats so you can compare side by side to see what's going to work out best for you. Personally I think I'll stick with the Odyssey Twisted PC pedals.

I say broads because I don't like the word "bitches" when referring to women, call me old fashioned if you want, I don't give a shit. This features Nicole Lee posing for squareonebmx.com, which no longer exists.
