A Hemi engine (from hemisphere) is an internal-combustion engine.
This is a match made in heaven! Niki just built up a
new Hemi, in fact he built up a new ride altogether. Niki claims the lifted stem is the best thing in BMX right now.
Maiden voyage!Morgan's new
training facility is still be worked on.
Josh is down in
Brighton, either getting lifted or shredding.
Weather is amazing here, enjoy the weekend. If any of you like Vampire Weekend check

Brandon finished school for the summer, to celebrate he found
this spot and
shredded. He is stoked, more from Brandon soon.
Wee man Robbo opened the
trails, I love good lookin' BMX and this is some right
here.
You can see
Niki shredding at the twenty jam

Some more sessions have been going on over at little Chris's ramp.

New Whips
Morgan and crew have been hard at work in Tyler on a new spot, this thing
looks sick! With way more to come. From Morgan:
"So we've been working on the spot for 3 days now over the past week and this is only the beginning! We haven't really even started on the
jumps yet! The pics are from Friday and Sunday. Today we poured 50 (80 lbs)
bags of cement to build that deck! We got all the concrete down in 2 hours with a wheel barrel & a shovel!!! I think it came out pretty good for 5 dudes that have never built anything out of concrete!"
In
excitement for the new spot Morgan just threw together a brand new ride, one of the new
Hemi frames.
Neil just put on the
new stem and bars, this is looking to be a hot combo for 08 if your into a nice tall front end.
Seems like all the new goodies are proving popular, here are some photos of peoples rides:

Samson gets me lifted
So the
Lifted stem is now out. Aron our graphic designer just bolted one onand sent me this review:
*** BLATANT PRODUCT ENDORSEMENT FROM SOME GUY THAT KINDA RIDES A BIKE ***
When I first put on a pair of Glam Bars I knew it was a step in the right direction. Coming off of Scenester Bars and stepping up to the Glams made quite the difference. The wider bars felt like they matched the width of my shoulders better. Simply pulling up felt amazing as it seemed there was greater control with the extra height & width.
Well, today I slapped on Mutiny's new 51mm Lifted Stem. It’s a front-loaded positive-rise stem, so no need to add new washers to offset any difference. Simply switched the old with the new and it was ‘on like Donkey Kong.’ I took her for a spin on the Empire mini-ramp and instantly knew that I could pull anything I ever wanted to, right then and there -- the Glam Bar & Lifted Stem combo is that good! I thought about doing a downside-whip-to-canadian-foot-jam and without even trying figured it is possible with this set up. I am ecstatic knowing that all of those elusive BMX tricks I can’t do are now “unlocked.” Thanks Mutiny!

Cosmotron
If your a full on surfer you may of caught
Roey's bike check over on the Ride site. This is the sample of his new sig. frame the Cosmotron, don't going getting too excited cause this won't be out till October if all goes planned, of course we will post more info nearer the time of release.
Niki said the
20 Twenty jam was amazing, he won, got in a fight and rode till 4 am. Beast. Unfortunately Roey hurt his knee on the 1st day so he was bummed. Cheer up tiny dancer.
Morgan has a nice web video up on
Vital. MoMo got some air miles in this year, he is never home.
Here is some cool random photos:
