This new edit from Rod Ridge and Standard Bykes popped up yesterday. Mind blowing tech stuff in here. The running jump to Coke can assisted bar ride is crazy.

Cook Bros. Throwback

Around 1993 or 1994 the use of the "Aheadset"(clamp on stem and compression bolt design) started being used in the BMX bike world. A carry over from mountain and road bikes, this was possible one of the best things to happen to BMX. No more loose headsets, no more big and bulky headset wrenches. But where did this design start? Motorcycles? Mountain bikes? The automotive world(see clockspring)? I ran across this image in the May 1980 issue of BMX Plus. It looks like Cook Brothers may have been onto something. Just fourteen years too soon. Too bad it never caught on.

Birthday Wishes to the Proprietor of this Blog...

Ed Koenning was my favorite rider growing up. From the days of Homeless videos to the rock solid riding in the Poor Boy series, something about Ed's riding always drew me to his video parts and they were watched until the tapes wore out. The music was always abrasive, the rails were always long and it was a serious mix of dirt, park, and street. Riding a box jump in the parking lot of a bike shop will always hold a place in my heart that defines 90's freestyle BMX. Not only did Ed's ponytail signify the style consciousness of the time, but his sponsor list is midschool legend. King, Standard, Poor boy, Homeless, Trend, and Stray bicycles supported BMX when it was at its lowest popularity.

I would like to wish one of my greatest influences in BMX a happy 40th birthday and want him to know that he is still inspiring to this day, artistically and in riding. Good wishes to your family and I hope to buy you a beer soon enough! And also, this blog is awesome, thanks for letting me scribble all over it for a little while!

Here is a really cool video from Standard Byke of them building someone's custom frame. Very cool to see what goes into building a frame.

And here is a throw back photo from @jaredsouney that he sent me on Twitter. Funnest rail in San Antonio. Until they capped it.
