When Nike introduced the Primo iD Shoe customization last summer we, along with the rest of the BMX media, got to design a pair of shoes ourselves. With the fresh victory of Holland against Brasil, the idea was to add a bit of an orange flavour to it. But there was no orange and the closest thing to it, according to the Nike 6.0 personnel present, was this neon pink-ish. Well, when the shoes arrived a few months back, it was pink indeed.

Kaboom, something heavy dropped on the doormat. The clear plastic wrapping gave it away, it's the new issue of Freedom BMX magazine. Yes! Good to see the mag is continueing after B&D Verlag (their former publisher) filed for bankruptcy. 5 mags, including Freedom BMX have been picked up by Factory media making them the owner of three BMX now (they publish DIG and RIDE UK as well). So instead of the mag disappearing at issue #95 (would have been sad to not make the 100 issues), the new issue arrived and it's got the following features:
-Mein Block: Frankfurt
-Vans Let It Ride tour
-Kunstform?! vs Stereo Bikes road trip
-rebeljam Portimao
-g-shock Deep BMX trip
-BMX photography part 2

The last issue for the 2010 calendar year showcases the year’s best riders as RIDE interviews all of the 2010 Ride BMX NORA Cup winners. In this issue RIDE also has a feature with Seamus Mckeon, a Failure road trip, interviews with Simon Tabron and Dan Lacey, and more.
