Pen Story

I believe this is a promotional video made for Olympus cameras and it's pretty cool and creative. Watch it.

Saris Bones

Just got one of these bike racks for my car and I like it. It's easy to install, easy to use, and fits on almost any car's trunk. It got lot's of use this weekend and proved to be a much easier alternative to stuffing bikes into the car.

Re-Sealable

Found this at the gas station today. It's Monster "Import" with a re-sealable opening. You simply remove the sticker, rotate the vent and it cracks open. Rotate the opposite direction to seal! Is this the wave of the future!? I don't know, but it's pretty neat.

Premium Carbon Post

Just spotted this Premium BMX pivotal post over here on Albe's. Seatposts are so short and lightweight these days. Why make a longer one out of a lighter and more expensive material? Nobody uses posts this long on BMX bikes anymore anyways. This seems kinda pointless to me. However, I could see kids buying these things for their fixed gear bikes and using pivotal saddles. Not that that would be a good idea either.

Volume Track Bars

Volume is now offering some bars to go along with their fixed gear frames. They have a couple riser bars and these drops coming soon. I'm not really a fan of the risers, but these drops look good.

Primo DSG

I thought I'd give the new Primo Drive Side Guard a try, so I ordered one and took it out riding today.  I've heard of people cutting FBM guards in order to ride it on the drive side, but now Primo does the work for you. 

I rode for a few hours and did a lot of grinding. Apparently it saved my chain from a few good scratches. I break a lot of chains and hopefully this will prevent that. A while ago I tried the Coalition cog guard but bent it in after only a couple days. This Primo one seems like a much stronger design and hopefully it holds up.

Overall, I'd say this is a much cheaper alternative to buying a left side drivetrain.

Dan's 360

This is pretty much the new blog for Dan's Comp. Features news, a team page, a video page and some pretty cool desktop wallpapers. Check it out here.

My 22nd B-day

So I guess I'm having a little party at my place for my 22nd birthday. Come out and drink some stouts, smoke some cigars and have some fun. Should be a good ol' time!

Corey Martinez in Chicago

Yeah, I just saw this on The Come Up and had to repost it. Corey Martinez riding all the local spots better than I ever will. That last clip is just insane. Thats all.

Sunsets And Sodas

Sunsets and Sodas is a somewhat new blog, focused mainly on BMX news and culture. I've been hearing about it often lately because of the Matt Beringer interview that just went up. It's a well designed site, with a look and feel similar to Defgrip. It's worth checking out and bookmarking.
