The second issue of Love BMX is online now. A couple of articles are available in english, too: BMX Masters History, Circle Cow 2008, Shane Badman interview.

One year and a half the production of KGB was stopped due to a manufacturer changing. Now things are good and new products have arrived in Madrid, Spain. The stock is almost sold out to the shops all over Europe but they have a small quantity of products left for direct sale. Take a look at the PDF document for more information or contact: tieto@kgbflat.com.

After giving it a professional paintjob Akira is testing his new Magicfruits signature frame. Some specs: TT 18.7", CS 12.2", HT 74.5°.

DiversionTV presents a 8 minute video of the Ticos Jam 5. You can watch it at DVD quality for free at DiversionTV or on YouTube.

Are those brakes set up with no gyro so he can just pull them off quickly when he doesn't wanna run them??

 I can't seem to find any reason it would be an advantage to run your cables like 1984 Eddie Fiola style???

He's Akira. He's weird and that's just how he rolls.

That's just magic fruit's new theft-proofing feature.  You have to pay extra for that.
