The new issue of Vapors is out, and it looks to be a pretty good one upon quick flip through (yes, its a digital flip book).
The new mag is called the “2 wheel issue”, so there is something for everyone in this one if you’re into bikes. I flipped through real quick and noticed that Vinnie Sammon, Nigel Sylvester and Greyboy had some real estate in this issue.
You can sign up and see the mag for free, so you really have no excuses. You can also get a hard copy soon as well.
Check out the new issue HERE.

If that cover doesn’t scream “BMX”, I don’t know what does.

Ever since I learned that living indoors and eating food requires doing work (sometimes even having a J-O-B!), I’ve always gotten a bit amped on the idea of enjoying what you do and doing it with style. I figure that if you’re gonna be spending that much time doing something, you might as well embrace it. So naturally I love when publications like Wallpaper, normally known for profiling only the finer things in life and the people with the means to enjoy them, romanticize actually doing work.
The “Work” issue arrived at my door two weeks ago and highlights everything work-related–workspaces, work partners, work lunch, traveling for work, clothes and accessories for work, toolboxes and briefcases for work, coffee break from work, and so on. And this has got to be my favorite magazine cover in a long time.

Mark Noble (of Ride UK fame) shot over some info on a new project called DELUXE, which he is a part of.
Deluxe is parts line based around trail riding, and you can check it all out HERE.
Knowing I’m a Ghostface superfan, Vinnie Sammon was nice enough to gift me one of 500 Zoo York / Ghostface tees with the accompanying skate deck. This collab between Ghost and Zoo York was born of Ghostface’s longtime love affair with the Iron Man / Toney Stark story throughout his career, with Ghost using both names as two of his aliases (which are listed on the shirt).
Ghost even starred in a scene from Iron Man, which unfortunately got cut from the movie before it hit theatres, but not before a personal phone call from Favreau who apologized did his best to make up for it.

It looks like the new DC/SE bike is out, or about to come out.
If you hit up the DC Quadangle site and click “video”, you can check out Damon Way and Todd Lyons talking about the project, along with some cool history and old school stuff.
Apparently the release party was on April 2nd too, you would think that they would let someone in BMX know. And how come I only see ads for these bikes in non-bmx magazines most of the time (if not all)?
Dave from Stolen Bikes sent over this flipbook of their upcoming Stolen Cheater and Sinner bikes.

Verde has just released the entry-level Vex complete.
Having worked at a bicycle company and helped develop completes, I can definitely way that dropping a $250 bike with a 12t cassette, mid BB, brand name components (Odyssey pedals and Duo grips!), and this much attention to detail is not easy to do. Personally I’m pretty excited to see complete bikes becoming so attainable and looking this good.
Check it out here.
United just got some new parts in and they have a dope promo going on, where all their bars, forks, and frames will come with a free DVD & poster. Check out more photos and some more info after the jump!

Cory Muth, Steve Buddendeck and Ryan Barrett over at Verde have been grinding away, launching their line of completes, their site, a distribution company, and their new blog in the last few months. Cory told me today about some exciting new Verde items in the works… and stay tuned for an interview with Cory soon.
As per usual these guys are keeping it clean with plenty of attention to detail in everything they touch. Make sure you check the Team page of the Verde site for a video edit of each rider.
