Sunday TA?

The 80’s are like back! Here is Full Factory’s head honcho, Bobby Parker’s brand new white Sunday Third Wave! If you didn’t know, Full Factory is Sunday’s distributor in the USA. Just throw some white mags on there and this would easily be found blasting Pipeline Skatepark back in 1986! Follow this LINK to see his full bike check! Totally gnarly!

Crankslides with Jim C.
08.13.10
So, you want to learn crankslides? Well watch this video and learn how to do them. Let me give you some major pointers first.
- Ride absolutely parallel with the rail. If you have any momentum going into the rail then chances are you will go over the bars.
- Learn to stall the trick on a low rail first. There’s no sense in trying to slide a trick that you can’t even hold.
- To land on the rail just bunnyhop and turn between 45 and 90 degrees. Put about 90% of your weight on your foot.
- Land on the pedal and crank arm.
- Don’t lean back. You’ll loop out. Just stay centered over the bike.
- Don’t pull the brakes. You won’t be able to adjust your positioning.
- To ride away just go off the end of the rail and ride away. It’s not too hard.
- Use a sprocket guard because chances are you will break a chain if you don’t. Odyssey MDS sprocket works the best.
Once you’ve figured them out, then take them to bigger rails, up rails, do them jump over, switch, barspin in it, 180, frontside, pop out early and do trick into and out of them. For more crankslide footage, go check out the I Like Crankslides video from last summer.

Tom Arkus Summertime!
08.10.10
Check out Tom Arkus‘ latest video filmed mostly at his home trails of Hazelwood. Most of the longer sequences are the actual lines at his home trails. The trails are super long, big and wooded, so you can’t just stand in one spot and film. We went a week or so ago and now I fully understand how they work. Tom makes it look easy when he should probably be scared. Look for photos of Tom riding his home trails in an upcoming issue of Case Magazine. In other Tom news, him and his wife just bought a house. Congratulations!

Here’s a photo of Gary Young’s 360 turndowning at last weekend’s Dew Tour in Chicago. He ended up getting 6th place in Park with his super fast, super smooth, unique and original lines and tricks. Gary will be taking be taking this momentum to the X-Games this weekend. Be on the lookout for a new bike, too! Thanks to Kurt Hohberger for the photo!
Aaron Ross Picnic Bike
07.26.10
Check out Aaron Ross‘ new “Picnic Bike“. As always Aaron comes up with some interesting themes for his Funday and this one is no exception. He took a watermelon green Funday, Space Bars and Director Forks then added in some of Odyssey’s Fire Engine Red kit plus white/tanwall Aitken tires. This is also the bike that he will be riding during X Games later this week. What more can you say? Photos by Devon Hutchins.
