On The Low - Flatland Trailer
Check out this trailer for "On The Low". I am always impressed by good flatland riding because it takes so much more patience and mental focus then people think. The video is scheduled to come out in March 2008 but until then, peep this trailer.
--Spotted on the FATBMX.

PEG TO THE SKULL - STEPHENS STORY
"its true!
but not such a good thing,
last weekend i was riding trails (saturday arvo), i nose cased the last in the line, thankfully with noone behind me, and went OTB. From that point, everything went wrong, i hit the dirt, the bike went up over my back and i got a peg to the head, and we all know that pegs are harder than a porn star on viagra.
Basically from that point, i just got up onto all fours, chucked off my helmet, while noticing a torrent of blood pissing from my head, like seriously pissing out, so off came the shirt and it went straight to the head.
I hung round for a bit, called my dad and he came to pick me up, i was ages from home though. When he got there some white shit was on my shirt, dad joked that it was probably brains, i'll get back to that later."
Pretty gnarly. Make sure to head over to zombiebmx and read the whole story. There are more pics as well.
Aaron Ross Leaves FBM
Aaron Ross will part ways with FBM. There has been a ton of speculation about this recently but now you can read everything. Aaron and Steve Crandall have released statements.
This is straight from the official press release:
What Aaron Ross wrote:
"So three years ago was the first time I ever talked to Crandall in my life. I was a scared little kid that wanted nothing more then to ride a bike and have some fun. I was nervous as hell on the phone and the big talk was all about if I would fit in on the team since I have never drank in my life. I did not know how well I would fit in and how road trips would go. Crandall talks to me for a while and told me all about the two Tony's and how they were not drinkers and by the end of the phone call I was on FBM and ready to go. So a few months later was Road Fools 14 and that was the first time I met Crandall and the rest was a blast. We had the best of times over seas and on road trips. I never had any idea bike riding would do what it has done, but I go outside ride like I am 12. I could not ever have pick a better team then FBM to get into this whole thing. We had the sweetest team with the two Tony's , Cameron Wood, Derrick Girard and Tag. I was able to design shirt with glasses on them, a Saved by the Bell themed frame with some bright colors and loved it all. Now FBM and I are going in different directions and we both are ready to accomplish new things. It has been one of the roughest months of the past few years because I have to move from a company that I have real friends, and not only Crandall, but Big Dave who makes the most kick ass bikes, John Lee who is the best person to talk too when calling up to the shop, John Paul who is just a funny guy, and Erbs who is a guy that has helped me out more then you can imagine. It’s been a good time the last 3 years and I would not change one thing. I want to say that I came into this all with dudes I saw while I was growing up and I am leaving with these guys as some of my best friends. I love all the dudes at FBM and my family and I thank all of those guys for everything the last 3 years, letting me have some of the best times, and I wish everyone at FBM the best of luck.
Have fun everyday!
Aaron"
What Steve Crandall Wrote:
"I think it was the winter in 2005 while on a road trip through Texas. I was visiting with Tom and Tina from Empire, and their first video was about to be released. Tina had mentioned one of their riders might be a good person to consider helping out. I saw a preview of the video, and was in shock as this kid riding a blue PW Moto was doing shit I hadn't seen before, and to the upbeat tempo of some country music - "If you're going to play Texas, you got to have a fiddle in the band". His name was Aaron Ross, and he walked to the tune of a thrown bicycle with a loose hub guard. Fast forward a few months and Aaron has gone from shop supported FBM flow guy, to a rising star rookie pro. Cranking out amazing video parts, with a line of Adam Roye inspired T-shirts and a pro model frame with outrageous graphics and color ways. The next couple of years ended up being a good time with Aaron growing as a professional rider, filming for various sponsors and road trips, traveling the world for various contests, and the like. This year all of the above culminated into a whirlwind of X-games podium finishes, breakthrough video parts, and a NORA win in Las Vegas.
With all of that, the offers started rolling in, to the point where FBM couldn't realistically provide Aaron the same things that another company could potentially provide. Our relationship was good, but it was obvious that more opportunity might exist by taking a different route. After a good talk, it was agreed that Aaron should explore these other offers, and see what's out there for him. As a sponsor, our goal was to support Aaron the best we could, and right now that includes letting go of an amazing rider, so he can do what's best for him. The results from our Sponsor/rider relationship proved successful, and a strong friendship remains, and I look forward to seeing what Aaron can accomplish in his next chapter.
Thanks Aaron, and good luck
- Crandall/ FBM Bikes."

This video is hillarious and has Catfish in it doing some sort of MTV Cribs spoof in Estonia. There will be a lot of crazy shit going down this weekend at the Simpel Session and hopefully it's all caught on camera. The video is kind of NSFW so make sure your mom is not looking over your shoulder when you watch it.

Spy Shots: Mitch Yeates Signature Simple Frame
The photos of the Mitch Yeates signature Simple frame have been released.
The frame has really tiny dropouts, a smaller bottom bracket tube, a partially exposed internal headset, and weighs 4.4 pounds just to name a few things.
It's still a prototype but you can check out all the pictures on the RideUK website because they aren't even on the Simple website as of this post.

The Brokeback Cowboy Heath Ledger died yesterday at the age of 28 of an apparent sleeping pill overdose. I would joke about it but the part that is not funny is that he leaves behind a young child that will grow up without him but I'm sure that child will have a trust fund based on Heath's money and the fact that he will no longer have to pay his $26,000 per month rent. All that $money$ might help smooth out the rough spots of childhood... or not.
Speaking of trust fund babies here is a picture of Paris Hilton and Jared Leto mourning the death of their fellow celeb. Pour some Cristal out on the ground for Heath...

F15teen Magazine
F15teen Magazine just dropped and it's dope.
I'm really psyched on this web magazine because it features a different side of BMX. Let's face it, there's a reason that there are so many artists, designers, photographers and creative people in the BMX community... it's because BMX is a creative sport. This magazine aims to showcase those that have a role in the artistic side of our sport.
This first issue has interviews with Defgrip and MacNeil art director Harrison Boyce, photographer Chris Hill-Scott, and filmmaker Steve Olpin. There are opportunities to have your work displayed in the next issues and it's available as a download in PC and MAC or you can just view it online. It looks amazing and the content is great... the downloadable flash version even has embedded videos inside..SICK! I can't wait for the next issue already.
note - if you download it it will be an .exe file but don't worry it is not a program that you need to install. It just starts a Flash viewer. It's totally legit.

New Insight Ad
The latest Insight ad has come out. There are 7 total ads now and if you look back at all of them you'll see that the series has come full circle. The Latest ad looks just like the first except for the actual photo so I would think that means that this is the last of the series before the video drops.
I could be wrong though. Head over to Defgrip to see the ad fullsize and you can check all 6 of the previous ads too.
The Insight video will feature Mike Brennan, Jerad Washington, Davey Watson, Chester Blacksmith, Darryl Tocco, and Dakota Roche. Be sure to check it out.
