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!

For Summer 2011, Stussy and W-Base from Shibuya, Tokyo have joined forces on the “How I Roll” 26 inch old school BMX original model bike. This cruiser type style is built after the late 1970’s/early 1980’s flavor dirt bike and is packed with details. The frame is made from 4130CR-MO, metallic blue alumite hubs, rims, break covers and neck with the classic “Ride Tough You Little Boys” Stussy phrase. From forks to frame ends, these are all custom Stussy executions. Big thanks to Oakley for supplying a limited number of their super rare and legendary back stock of 1970’s “B-1B” grips.

Check out the video that the two brands produced to go along with their collaboration here above.

After a first preview the other week, we can give you a full look at the new “How I Roll” bike by Stussy and W-Base Tokyo. Based on an old school BMX bike, the Oakley equipped Stussy version, the chrome bike will be released in Japan on April 7th. Of course all details are set in the signature blue by Stussy, that we have come across quite a few times ever since the start of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the brand.

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.

Today we are introducing Rust Heap, a multi-brand collaboration BMX bike that was over a year in the making. Brought together by longtime BMX pro Mike Ardelean and Tim Swart of UNIV, the two friends connected their network of eight other friendly brands to build a customized project bike. The entire collaborative brand roster includes Verde, UNIV, Odyssey, Duo, Defgrip, Ludwig Van, G-Sport and The Laboratory. The bike was put to the test this past weekend by pros Mike Ardelean, Jim Bauer and Gary Young.

Rust Heap features the highest quality parts from the various collaborative partners. The Verde Cartelframe/fork/bars were painted by The Laboratory to look like rust. It was given many layers of paint in different textures over a multi-week period to achieve the look of something that had been pulled from the bottom of the ocean. The custom-made UNIV head badge adds to the bike’s D.I.Y. personality.

The bike is now on display at Univ. Check out the bike in more detail, as well as some action shots, after the jump.

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!

Swedish footwear label Jim Rickey worked with Scandinavian bike makers Sson on a collaborative BMX cruiser. Having previously worked with Caliroots and Parra on custom cycles, Sson took their steel-framed 016 bike and outfitted it with gold and white Jim Rickey details. “Think of it as the biggest possible BMX that you have seen and one that will get you to the afterparty in no time at all. After the afterparty it’s the after afterparty somewhere, hosted by Jim Rickey.” Only 10 pieces were produced and will be sold starting October 15, 2009 through the top Jim Rickey shops in Europe and Asia.

More looks at the Jim Rickey x Sson 016 BMX Commuter Bike after the click.
