The best frame in BMX just got a little bit better, as we refined a few areas of the original Chase frame to take the Chase RSP 2.0 to the next level. The RSP 2.0 features a refined newly shaped intergraded head tube that directs the brake cable routing through it. The brake cable runs through the head tube, alongside the steer tube, into the top tube and the cable exits in the rear of the Top Tube- This gives the frame and ultra smooth look while hiding the cable! The RSP 2.0 frames come with brake

How excited are you about the HARO Carbon frame coming out?
Derek: Couldn’t be more psyched about the Clutch. Everyone says this about their new bike, but this is truly beyond the best bike I’ve ever ridden. Every one of the team guys (and gal) who are riding it right now are blown away. Aside from Corben, Nic,

For 2013 the Stoppelcross MX season has come to an end with the final race being held at the track in Volkel. Personally I had 2 goals going into the last round. First of all Eric Mulders. All year long we talk shit to each other who's faster and the race is Volkel was going to be the big final. I had missed the first race and Eric missed the second one so we had not lined up on the gate together yet. This was about to change when we lined up for the qualifying race. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous as Eric rides on the regular, and this was the third time this

MCS Bicycles is pleased to announce the addition of Justin Riddell to the program! Justin is 20 years old and hails from Cape Coral, Florida. We are very excited to have Justin joining the team! He is a good kid with a lot of talent. Justin will be racing in the A Pro class at USA BMX Nationals (including the 2013 USA BMX Grand National next week in Tulsa), and the Men’s Pro class in the SSA Florida Cup and State Series events.

Justin will be aboard the MCS HT20XL frame in 2014. When asked about the bike, he said “The bike feels really good and stiff I have only ridden it on the track a couple of times, but it was really easy to get used too! The MCS Torque bars felt really good too!"

With new complete bikes and products being added to the line-up,

Finally, race day was there. But it had rained all week and even on Sunday at 6am that wet stuff was coming down. It was dark, cold (6 degrees) and wet and we were on our way to have some fun at the second round of the Stoppelcross season. Rob Karsmakers, Pieter Does, Martijn van Bakel, Eric Mulders and myself met up in Beek en Donk and arrived at the corn field in Boekel 10 minutes later. We left the bikes in the vehicles/trailers and looked for the big partytent for sign ups. An empty wallet later I had signed up for the race, got myself an

Burn off your turkey, have some fun, and raise some funds for a friend this Thanksgiving Weekend at the 10th Annual Tour de Tryptophan. This years fun ride benefits BMX Superstar Eddy King, who suffered spinal injuries last month while riding Snow Summit's new mountain bike park.

WHAT: The Fullerton Loop is an 11.5 mile suburban mountain bike ride that links abandoned railways with horse trails, through neighborhoods and parks, with "extra credit" singletrack sections throughout... Mountain Bike legend Richard Cunningham mapped the loop out when he started Mantis Mountain Bikes in the early 80's. Now thousands of people ride it weekly for training and fun... Tour de Tryptophan is a fun ride where we celebrate the loop, our friends, Thanksgiving and we raise a few dollars for someone in need.

WHEN? We meet at 11am on Friday after Thanksgiving, and the ride goes from Noon Friday until Noon on Saturday. We don't care if you ride one lap, twenty laps, or no laps. Just come out and have
