Turning things up with a turndown

Hot damn!

Kory Drake with a clicked turndown.

Just a little inspiration for y’all as we head into the weekend.

Another Liquid rider at the trails

Is the Liquid Feedback the go-to 24″ for trails this year?

All signs point to yes.

Erik Hortsch puts his new Liquid through its paces in this Vimeo video edit.

Cruisers & beer: a match made in heaven?

1 06 2010

This seems like such a great idea that I’m kind of surprised that someone hadn’t come up with it sooner.

A beer for cruiser riders.

Sure, you can buy a number of craft beers with ties to mountain biking or even an S&M bikes beer koozie, but a beer just for BMX cruiser riders? Now that something that  just warms my heart.

Greg Mundy of Fireman’s Texas Cruzers teamed with Brad Farbstein at Real Ale Brewing to create Fireman’s #4 Blonde.  And as a form of cross-promotion, Greg and Fireman are offering the Brewery Bike inspired by the beer.

Will this inspire more cruiser companies to pair up with breweries?

Hard to say…but if a  “Liquid Courage  brew” comes out any time soon, I’ll be contacting Liquid Bikes for royalties.





Liquid Facebook page worth checking out

25 05 2010

If you’re thinking about buying one of the Liquid Feedback frames, you might want to check out the Liquid Bikes Facebook page. It’s filled with pics from owners showing off their new builds.

There’s also some cool rider photos…like this one of Sean Parrish at Ray’s MTB.

Love this pic (Jeremy/Sean: hope you guys are OK with me borrowing it).

And while we’re on the topic of Liquid Bikes…Jeremy sent in this pic recently of his bike and  helmet with a couple of cruiser revolution stickers freshly added to it.  Looks great.





More good stuff from Liquid Bikes

15 04 2010

Liquid Bikes has a new site up that looks great! It includes a blog and an online store to make it easy to pick up a Liquid frame or bars.

While the store appears to be set up for US shipping only right now, you can email for details and get sorted for international orders.

I like checking it out for the great trails clips that Jeremy posts from time to time.

Liquid’s Bubblegum Blue frame

4 03 2010

Sometimes the right color just gives a bike a little something extra…like Liquid’s Bubblegum Blue frame.

This bike just looks super cool.

But it’s not just a good-looking bike, it’s got a roomy front end with modern geometry that’s built for serious riding (if the pictures and videos featuring Liquid’s Jeremy Combs are any indication).

I think we’ll be hearing a lot more from (and about) Liquid Bikes in 2010.
