In the words of Gary Medley, “Wild, wild, wild!”. Gary had the privilege of riding in the Team Liquigas car for one stage of the 2010 Tour de Suisse this past June. Check out more of his photos after the break.
Becky is riding the Wisconsin MS150 tour in honor of her mom who has MS. She has vowed to raise $10,000 this year to support research for a cure and has entered her cause in the Pepsi Refresh Project to win $5,000–halfway toward her goal! If her cause is voted into the top 10, she gets the money. Help Becky by clicking on this link and voting for her project–voting ends July 31st!

Posted here first on BikeRumor back in January, Adam Grandmaison’s new OSS brand has announced dates and locations for the premiere of its debut DVD title ‘Football’. Two dates are planned, with the first suited to the party animals among you, while the second is more suited to those looking to roll around with and meet some of the team.
Grandmaison has confirmed Mike Mastroni shot the majority of clips, so the production quality is bound to be phenomenal. Check out the trailer here.
The above flyer has the dates and details, while OSS’s new website will carry updates and the web video to be shot on August 29th on the streets of Bushwick, NY.
Kicking off this afternoon is X Games 16 for which ESPN will be broadcasting a total of 31 hours of live coverage, a comprehensive schedule for which can be found here.
The above video, shot by RideBMX.com, shows off just some of the warm up moves being knocked out by the likes of Dakota Roche, Brian Kachinski and Sean Sexton, as well as the closing banger from Dan Lacey who won Simpel Session’s best trick earlier this year. Going by these guys standards, the moves in the above flick are part of their ‘everyday’ bag of tricks, so it’ll be interesting to see who tops the podium this year. With the likes of Garret Reynolds and Scotty Cramner competing, it’s too close to call an obvious winner, but my bet’s with Toronto Jam winner Drew Bezanson in the park and Dan Lacey on the street course…
Haro Bikes 2011 w/ Allen Cooke - More BMX Videos
In what essentially makes us journalist/blogger types kind of redundant, Haro bikes brand manager Alan Cooke gives a full run down of the 2011 Haro line up. Having been on board just over a year, Cooke seems to really pushing Haro forward with the trends, though the frame and bike line is so diverse there’s really an option for everyone. For the first time this year and in Haro’s history, there will be a brakeless specific model with a built in pivotal post on the frame.
Earlier today, BikeBiz posted that Haro is also to do away with the 650B wheel size previously featured in its mountain bike catalogue.

This item isn’t brand spanking new, Formula made it in the past, but they took a small break when SRAM redesigned their shifters and have reintroduced their integrated ‘match maker’ like brake lever mount with the ability to direct mount a SRAM shifter.

Mutiny’s Let’s Get Mystical, reviewed here on BikeRumor back in February, has now been uploaded to the web.
Being one of the first BMX titles to be filmed entirely in HD, the title was sold in the Blu Ray format, as well as standard DVD. From the start the quality of the camera work stands out and to this day Let’s Get Mystical is regarded as one of the best quality productions ever put out on a typical BMX firm’s budget. See the entire thing after the break!
BMXMDB: Scott Malyon Interview from bmxmdb.com on Vimeo.
Brit shredder Scott Malyon has a cool reflective interview over on BMX Movie Database. The Q&A itself is nothing to get excited about, though the classic clips of Malyon tearing through ROM’s world-renowned concrete are all gems, as are those shot at Scott’s own spine miniramp. Topics include riding for a living, his lack of video parts over the years and the pleasures of having your own ramp
Scott also recently scored the cover of free-to-retail BMX magazine Case, which itself is well worth a look.
For 2011, the Orbea Ordu gets only minor updates, mainly paint and spec, but there’s also a new Di2 version with internally routed wiring/cables that make it slippier than ever.
Watch the vid for the run down from Orbea USA owner Tony, then jump past the break for a few photos…

This photo is from a protest July 27th at the Beverly Hills Courthouse. Cyclists covered themselves with fake blood and met to protest the light sentencing of Celine Mahdavi, who hit a cyclist and fled the scene–she got 90 days community service and 3 years probation, the judge did not restrict her in any way from driving again. If that’s not bad enough, Celine was 18 at the time of the accident and, when pulled over later, tested positive for alcohol. The cyclist she hit, Jose Deliz Louis Deliz will be permanently disabled. Read the gory details here. Another protest is planned for this Friday. Details after the break.
Yesterday, Felt Bicycles released their 2011 bicycle lines to the media at their headquarters in semi-sunny Southern California. Self-described as “a small company that casts a large shadow,” they introduced bikes from the “four legs of their table.” Owners Jim Felt and Bill Duehring, along with product managers and engineers were on hand to discuss new models in their Mountain, Road/Tri, Lifestyle and BMX lines, although BMX was handled separately.
Their racing heritage was clear as they introduced all new top-end bikes, using unprecedented technologies. Although the flagship models come at a premium price tag, their advances were evident in all the models throughout the lines, trickling down even to the entry levels. Check out details on the new models after the break.
Photo submitted by Gary Medley, who writes, “In cycling-crazed Portland, the Tour watchers were out in force this morning at St. Honore French bakery, which shows the race on the big screen. With no place to sit inside, viewers watched outside through the window. One of them was me.”
