The Prime Mover has been around the block a number of times now. With Slight revisions over time and graphic updates along with the yearly colour change. United Bike Co. thought it was time to give the Prime Mover a bit of TLC and updating. The frame's geometry is still aimed towards the traditional dimensions that can be found at home on the street, at the park and even the trails. The chain stay took a lower form allowing the new removable chain stay brake mounts space to breath, a kew feature we have been asked for for some time. With the addition to our latest invest cast dropouts and built in tensioners, the rear triangle of this frame has well and truly been looked after. United wanted to be big and bold with the look of this frame and what could be better than having a full over sized down tube graphic? With three paint options. A deep gloss OX Blood, Flat Grey and a Flat red.

The city can be a dangerous playground, with a safe TSG helmet the active urbanites’ first line of defence. The TSG Meta is an all-sport city helmet, featuring a ventilated, lightweight In-mold construction and our easy to adjust Dial Fit System for a perfect fit on the move.
-In-mold construction: In-Mold Construction is a technique that connects the shock absorbing EPS liner directly to the polycarbonate shells to create a lightweight and strong structure. In the first step, the flat PC sheet is heated and deep-drawn over the helmet mold. Then the outline of the helmet shell and the holes are milled out. This PC shell is then placed in the helmet mold and the anchors for straps and fitting systems are placed. Then the mold will be closed, and the EPS is injected. Now the polycarbonate shell bonds with the EPS and a super light, yet extremely stable helmet is created.

The wait is over! Radio's highly anticipated solar Carbon Fiber frame is here… designed and developed in Cologne, Germany over a two-year period, the solar is manufactured from the highest quality Torayca carbon and is incredibly unique with its 100% monocoque 1pc construction. By using a mono-construction compared to a 2/3pc construction which most other brands use, we were able to make the frame even stiffer and stronger and create no weak or fatigue points.
The solar frame is laboratory tested and proven to be insanely stiff and lightweight especially under high impact and stress tests. The internal cable routing allows for a super clean and stealthy setup. Tested by the Radio Raceline team the past x2 seasons and now the frame of choice for many of today’s top
The moulded TSG Kneeguard Patrol A 2.0 delivers reliable full-length protection, pro shock absorption and a secure fit for park riding. The pad, which can be put on without taking off your shoes, benefits from our brand new wrap-around ergonomic strap system, made up of three straps including a top double-closure Velcro strap to eliminate flapping straps and conform to individual rider’s leg shape for a firmer, more secure comfortable fit. Protection is delivered by a removable and flexible pierce-proof knee insert, ACF padding and side cushioning, while a moisture wicking terry cloth lining provides all-day ridability and comfort.

We've got hundreds, if not thousands of pictures hidden on the attick. From the start of BMX in The Netherlands to shoe boxes full of photos from the first trips to San Diego as well as all the European events we went to back in the day. Most pics are of poor quality, taken by the pocket-camera that seemed to fit in the fanny pack together with the passport, the wallet and some keys. Keep in mind that this was during the pre-cell-phone era and taking pics at parties wasn't common. Although a lot of the photos ended up in FAT-'Zine issues 0 - 34, it would be interesting to dive into the photo pile one day to make a book. But that probably won't happen.
Jared Souney on the other hand managed to scan thousands of his photos and filed them around to form the 'Things Seen Along the Way' book and it's amazing. 360 photos printed in a book with over 400 pages. The book weighs 5 pounds and all 250 copies were sold in no-time. Albert Moonen and Paul de Jong are now the owners of the photo book and we flipped through the pages trying to put a name with each rider. The names are listed at the end of the book and we had to peek a few times in order to
