It's the same bike that he's riding in the Quarterpipe article in this issue of Ride and most probably the same bike he will be riding at the Simpel Session in Estonia this weekend... 2008-01-21T08:41:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/transgression-skatepark-edinburgh/ride-123840.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/transgression-skatepark-edinburgh/ride-123840.html Dave Sowerby has designed a new skatepark thats just opened in Edinburgh..

I could talk about the weather, last night's TV, or the colour of Mike Miller's bike, but instead, let's cut to the chase. What you really want to know is, what's in the mag? Again, our Regular Pages are packed enough to make a stand-alone BMX mag on their own - UK news, USA news, an interview with Duo/Verde's Steve Buddendeck, an interview with Thecomeup's Adam Grandmaison, a ton of DVD reviews, Top Fives with Will Jackson, Firing Blanks with Owain Clegg, Six Minutes with Liverpool videographer Rich Wilson, photos from 4Down and Mutiny Premieres, 2007 Intrikat Jam, Product Reviews, Frame Reviews, an essay on Legalising Trails, a comp to win a package of Zoo York clobber, and tests on the Premium 3Ring and the new Trail Series Team from Fit Bike Co.

The place is a perfect BMX park, if you don't know what to expect and you're in range then head on down. I guarantee it'll be worth it. 2008-01-15T21:30:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/feature-the-dc-road-trip-extras/ride-123802.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/feature-the-dc-road-trip-extras/ride-123802.html My first contribution to the internet illustrated with left over* photos from this issues DC Road Trip article... 2008-01-15T17:14:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/exclusive-omar-and-the-animal-tyres/ride-123801.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/exclusive-omar-and-the-animal-tyres/ride-123801.html Animal Bike Co is keeping on top of what's what - a slew of new products are coming our way in 2008 which are generally lighter, tougher, and better than before. Ralph Sinisi knows how to run a tight ship there, and new guy Omar Elsebai is still trying to take over the world. So, we spoke to Omar to find out what makes Animal tick, what's coming out, and what's on his iPod. 2008-01-15T16:55:01+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/red-bull-down-n-dirty-extras/ride-123769.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/red-bull-down-n-dirty-extras/ride-123769.html In November Red Bull put on a contest in Asbury, New Jersey USA.

One thing that bugs the bejeezus out of me is someone who complains that ‘lack of specific equipment’ is holding them back from doing something honestly creative. Well, to be honest, unless you’re entering the Paris-Dakar Rally and only have a Reliant 3-wheeler to drive (and that would be a valid hindrance), then really you don’t have much of an excuse… just get on with it and get creative - case in point, Fremont Clothing’s amazing new web video which is continually streaming over on the worldly-respected Defgrip website. This video piece isn’t filmed on the latest Sony 3-chip HD unit and edited on a blazing Mac running Leopard and Final Cut CS3.5.5 or whatever it is. Rich Hirsch, company owner and all-round very creative bod, bought a slew of old VHS video cameras for a few dollars, lashed them together with tape, and came up with something that truly stands out. Inspired by this level of creativity, I decided to interview Rich to find out more… 2008-01-11T15:27:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/exclusive-sundays-new-ian-schwartz-frame/ride-123768.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/exclusive-sundays-new-ian-schwartz-frame/ride-123768.html Jamie at IMG Distribution gave us this exclusive info on the new Ian Schwartz frame from Sunday Bikes - and it looks dialled. It's like the Wave frame (and we have a new one of those on test in the next issue of the magazine), but this is more refined, and with a unique feature: seatposts have been getting shorter and shorter and lighter and lighter, and this new frame does away with it completely - by having a light cromo serrated Macneil Pivotal cup welded to the top of the seat-tube - just bolt your choice of Pivotal system seat to the frame - this does mean that you won't be able to adjust the height of your seat of course, but if you run your post slammed, you'll be stoked. 2008-01-10T10:56:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/new-make-clothing-trailer/ride-123766.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/new-make-clothing-trailer/ride-123766.html Heres a rad new trailer from the The Make Clothing.. Best clip is easily the curve wallride to whip by Niki Croft. Savage. 2008-01-09T06:43:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/sputnic-and-tony-neyer/ride-123762.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/sputnic-and-tony-neyer/ride-123762.html Sputnic's Tony Neyer has a couple of new things out which you should check up on... and here they are. First up, we have a web clip featuring Tony himself - pretty gnarly - thanks to Jonn Devlin at Sputnic for the heads-up on this one. Next up, a preview of his new pro model frame, which is out this season – the 2008 Tony Neyer Skyline Series frame. We have one in the office, and for the full Product Review check out the next issue of the magazine - February 08, on sale Jan 17th! 2008-01-07T14:12:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/interbmx-helps-jimmy-levan/ride-123761.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/interbmx-helps-jimmy-levan/ride-123761.html Here's more good news for Jimmy Levan - InterBMX.com, the website network run by Dustin Griess - is donating much-needed recovery dollars for every new member signing up to InterBMX. In case you haven't seen InterBMX before, it's a popular and fast-growing social-networking website which has thousands of members (all riders, no PR-hungry myspace bands need apply) which has a ton of good info on it. Sign up, and see what happens - at the very least, Dustin will give a dollar to help out Jimmy Leva, which is awesome. 2008-01-07T12:57:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/jimmy-levan-update/ride-123760.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/jimmy-levan-update/ride-123760.html After Jimmy Levan's crash last year it seemed he was in a bad way... We haven't heard much news of late but there is an update over on the Metal website written by Jimmy himself. It seems he is well on his way to being well again. 2008-01-07T07:49:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/harry-main-video/ride-123759.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/harry-main-video/ride-123759.html Harry Main footage from a couple of skateparks.

Congrats Ashley. 2008-01-04T16:15:00+00:00 http://rideukbmx.com/news/interview-feature-elwood-the-federal-website/ride-123756.html http://rideukbmx.com/news/interview-feature-elwood-the-federal-website/ride-123756.html It seemed strange that one of the finest companies in BMX had nothing more than a holding page on their website for the best part of a year. The new one took much longer to go live than expected. And it's no wonder - the new Federal site is a high quality piece of work. We exclusively speak to Elwood Ruffle, creator of the all new website, about how he's put it together, what it's like working at Seventies, and what he feels works (or not) on the world wide web. It's a great insight, behind the scenes at one of the best companies in BMX 2008-01-03T13:11:00+00:00
