About Jared's new 2011 bike

A quick word from Jared Chilko about his new ride :
-------------------------------
"Sidewall sent me a new 2011 frame. It is a 20.6." I decided I needed to downsize back to what I am used to. I got used to the 21" but am happier on a smaller frame now. I feel like it fits my riding better. It is amazing how 0.4" in the top tube and a bit shorter rear end can make the frame feel. I still like the 21" for riding trails though. Switch back and forth. haha. I am actually liking the look of the bulges on the seat stays and the down tube gusset as well. Very Tasteful.
I am a small guy, 5'9" at best and about 148lbs. I switched to a 21" with my new deal. It took a little while to get used to but after a bit I felt comfortable yet I felt that the top tube length made the bike feel slow on spins for me. I noticed right away after switching to the 20.6" I was able to do opposite 360 hops on flat with ease as well as 540 hops my regular way off of curbs. I am super happy!"
-------------------------------
That's interesting to notice that a shorter frame make moves easier. For those who wonder which top tube length is good for them... His bikecheck will come soon.

Greg Melms : metal genius...

Some people know how to use their hands ! Greg Melms is one of them. He is a metalwork creator. See his work here. As a long time BMX rider, he made his own bikes, with a great attention to details. On his 2nd bike, Greg selected a Superstar Revolte stem, which he super-polished to make it smooth, almost round. That's the most beautiful Supertar stem ever ! The last picture reminds you how the original stem looks like. Raw ! Thanks Greg and keep on working hard on BMX stuff.
Il y a des gens qui savent quoi faire de leurs mains ! Greg Melms en fait partie. Voyez ses oeuvres métalliques ici. En tant que BMXer de longue date, il se construit ses propres vélos avec d'impressionnants détails de finition. Sur son 2e vélo, Greg a choisi une potence Superstar Revolte, qu'il a super-polit pour la rendre lisse, presque ronde. Il s'agit donc de la plus belle potence Superstar ! La dernière image vous rappelle à ressemble la version originale. Brute ! Merci Greg et bon travail sur les autres produits BMX.

Broken tooth for Mitch

On saturday, october 2nd, our italian team rider Michele Virdis ended 2nd a dirt demo/contest in Bergamo, Italia. Even if there was only one jump, the Frontocean organized demo was cool. So cool that Mitch crashed and broke one tooth. The 31 other teeth still remain safe...

Samedi dernier, le 2 octobre, notre team rider italien Michele Virdis a terminé second d'un contest/démo à Bergame, Italie. Bien qu'il n'y ait qu'une seule bosse, ce contest organisé par Frontocean était cool. Tellement que Mitch est tombé et s'est cassé une dent. Les 31 autres dents sont saines et sauves...
