Crooks & Castles has worked with SE Racing on this dope looking PK Ripper. We have seen a handful of collaborations with SE in the past, but this one in particular is one of the cooler ones in terms of appearance and details. The frame boasts a camo print, and is set off nicely with the orange colored logo, white tires, and matching seat. The bike is currently available at Crooks’ Sunset store and their online shop.

Take a closer look of the bike in action after the jump.

“1987″ by Casio G-Shock, is an urban retro-style video shot on the streets of New York City, the home of BMX icon Nigel Sylvester. The video, titled 1987 the year Nigel was born, celebrates a collaborative timepiece between Casio G-Shock and Nigel. As an adult, Nigel looks back on his year of birth as a time of great creative freedom and experimentation. The film was created to capture that spirit.

The cinematography takes reference from classic arcade games. The sound design draws spirit from the associated 16 bit soundtracks that emanated from the computers of that time. The graphic approach pays homage to Casio.

Over the weekend Nike 6.0 released ‘The Full Story’ video from their ‘The Pool’ event, finally giving a nice round-up of what exactly went down in East London.

“The Pool was more than a BMX comp, it was one of the most extra-ordinary gatherings of the BMX community this century.

From the draining of a soon to be demolished local authority swimming pool in Dagenham, East London, into a world class park in less than two weeks was a feat in itself, but to see the diversity and level or riding on display at the launch event was truly remarkable.

40 international riders with a brand new team format saw non-comp riders, veterans, street destroyers and park animals all throw down into something far better than we could have dreamt of.”

Incredible, so make sure to check it out!

We present a nice video produced by Defgrip on a recent trip by Nigel Sylvester to Japan.

“This year, Gatorade’s theme is “Go All Day.” In celebrating that theme, Gatorade wanted to start doing research on the non-traditional sports like BMX, so they hit up Nigel Sylvester, who rides for Gatorade and asked him a pretty crazy question: If you could go anywhere in the world to ride bikes with his friends, where would you go? That’s a very heavy question to ask someone, even Nigel… so after lots of research and different ideas being thrown around, Japan was chosen as the destination! With it’s huge city, amazing architecture, and lots of un-tapped spots, Japan would be the perfect location.

To document the trip, Gatorade invited a few key BMX media outlets, including Defgrip, to go along for the ride. The video you are about to watch documents the trip from the riding and research, to the culture and adventures and to coincide with the video, we will have a photo gallery with a more detailed story going up next week!”

Enjoy!

Oakley announces the resurrection of an interesting piece from their rich BMX/cycling history: the B-1B bike grips.

When Oakley started in 1975, eyewear was not the initial offering; it was an MX grip made of a special material known as Unobtainium. The revolutionary material crossed over into components of Oakley’s eyewear pieces, but also into its BMX grips as featured in the B-1B model.

The B-1B is one of the more sophisticated grips ever engineered. Highlighted by a special tread found within and on the surface of the grip, it enabled a high level of adhesion to the handlebars and the rider’s hands. Other elements found on the B-1B, such as the neoprene/lycra flange, aid with blister prevention making it one of the most complete grips in the world of BMX.

This special and extremely limited edition remake is comprised of a newer, softer rubber compound and in order to maintain integrity of original pieces for collectors, a 2010 stamp is embossed on the end of the grips. The packaging also has seen a slight makeover in terms of the actual shape and while the original B-1B box was red and white, this one has been color matched with the grip in a blue and white.

Overall there will be 5 colors released over the next few months. Be on the lookout at select retailers.

The final video in Nigel Sylvester’s three-part series completes the story of Nigel’s day, by showing what went down that afternoon. (Episode 1 here, Episode 2 here)

After a brief encounter with hip-hop artist Teyana Taylor, Nigel sets out on a citywide mission to see the young star again. Following her taxi throughout NYC is no easy task, but Nigel manages to keep up, avoiding close calls along the way including a run-in with football star LaDainian “LT” Tomlinson.

Enjoy!
