This is a photo of a near perfect replica of the bike Cru Jones rode in the movie RAD. Painstakingly reproduced by Jeremy Moser, curator of the website that honors the movie of our youth. Click ‘more’ to see more pics of the bike, and please check out Jeremy’s website for your RAD fix. PS, click here to see a clip of the movie (ala the Send Me An Angel video) where Lori Laughlin’s dude stunt double makes me crack up every time, and because I’ve never seen such a beautiful profession of love.

Hoffman Bikes has put out a series of vids showing their 2011 complete bikes, wheels/hubs and parts. Shown above is the reel of bicycles, and jump on past the break for the wheels/hubs and parts videos. Thanks to Jeremie at Sidewall Distribution for the links…

Joining Hollywood’s fancy for all things 3D is Stereo Bike Co.’s 2011 catalog of BMX product offerings. The pictures are pretty cool even without the 3D effects–at least the pages aren’t filled with dancers jumping out of the pages doing their coolest head bob. Stereo Bike Co. is a German company and currently distributes in Europe, no distributors in the US yet.

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.

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.

Lazer has introduced perhaps the most trick helmet buckle we’ve ever seen on their new Oasiz mountain bike helmet. Called the Magic Bucklet, it uses strong magnets to pull the clasp together and lock it into place, making one-handed, on-the-bike closure easy, and it also makes removal a super quick affair:

Check out the full specs and photos for the Oasiz and updated versions of their Tardiz triathlon/aero helmet and the all-new Cityzen commuter/urban helmet, along with some very cool, er, warm winter riding helmet accessories. All that and close up photos of the Magic Buckle right after the break…

The Cult DVD comes with a magazine detailing the riding and good times along the way

Let ‘em Talk is the Cult brand’s debut title, carrying a team that are no stranger to consistantly knocking out ground breaking video parts. The Cult team is made up of riders like Chase Hawk, Dakota Roche and Chase Dehart, so the title was never going to punch below its weight. It’s no surprise that the video kicks off with a jawdropper with that kind of talent on board. Ryan Navazio’s trained camera handles the filming.

See the trailer after the break, as well as a few words on the title.

If you’re headed to Interbike this year, S&M Bikes is again hosting the Rail Jam to show off the latest BMX move-aneuvers on their custom rail/ramp contraption. It’s indoors near the BMX Zone on Thursday, Sept. 23rd from 2p to 3p.

Why deez youngin’s don’t wear the helmets deez days is beyond me. Thanks to Jeremie at Sidewall Distributors for the link.

Scott Ditchburn “Welcome to the Pro Team” Shr-edit from Subrosa Brand on Vimeo.

It seems like Scott should have been bumped to the Subrosa Pro Team a long time ago, especially considering he’s consistantly knocking out edits packed with unique rail moves. Perhaps this recent ad, shot in the Seventies warehouse and featured on the back cover of Ride BMX UK was the catalyst for the decision to finally bump Ditchburn to pro. Check out a really well made ‘making of the ad’ video after the break.

After this competition it seems Nike is making use of having so many top-level riders abroad. This ‘competition’ seems to have skipped right by me, but if this edit qualifies in third place, what will first place be like! The riders are Dennis Enarson, Rob Wise, Ty Morrow and Shane Weston.

Ty Morrow is now riding for the Shadow Conspiracy, making use of the firm’s components, which will sit alongside the Federal frame and parts he’s been riding since the release of his introductory team edit, featured after the break. Ty’s the guy who can hop over, or up, pretty much anything…

Check out an introductory interview with the man himself over on the Shadow site, here.
