Who are involved with Symmetric brand?

Working in the BMX industry is fun. If you want to make good money, stay in school. If BMX is your passion and it's all you think about, there are a couple of options to live the BMX life 24/7. Once you've started your own BMX gig, you are putting in long days to make ends meet. But it's your choice. A 9 to 5 regular job or working your ass off in the BMX industry and scraping by.

Japan is one of the cleanest countries on earth. We've noticed that while just walking the streets. The only thing that the cleaning crew has to pick up are the cigarette buds that do not make it to the trash on accident.

With a close eye we noticed some street art that doesn't really fit the city but it's out there. Tags, stickers, pieces, all that stuff. We took some shots of what we saw for you to check out. Tokyo is a clean city but there is some ghetto art out there. Enjoy.

New Product Release: The company known for their dynamic safety gear; PRYME, has just made available their all-new Pryme-US fullface helmet. With the same 9-vent shell as the original US, the new 2007 model has really stepped it up graphically. Now in three color-combos, with a bold race-stripe slapped on, over the top, the helmet is designed to save your brain ... or what's left of it. Whether your cycling discipline is BMX or mountain bikes, it's hard to find a vented bicycle helmet in the same $90 price-range, that not only gets the job done when it comes to protection, yet also looks cool enough to wear.
