Van Homan is in LA right now for this year’s X-Games. While out riding the other day, we caught up with him and snapped some shots of his current wheel setup; Marmoset and Ratchet hubs laced onto Rollcage rims.
Dakota Roche has a new wallpaper up over at RideBMX.com. It’s available in Widescreen or Standard screen sizes. If it looks familiar, you can watch the clip from his July 2010 edit.
Devin Feil shared with us a couple photos of Mike Taylor. View his page to check them out!
Since we launched the Plegs back in 2007 a lot of people have given them a try. Some have found them fast some have found them slow, some have found they can grind surfaces that were previously too “sticky” for steel and some have found that they can ride parks that previously didn’t allow pegs (or even bikes). Some have loved the differences and some have hated them. But we have always said that it was a product that we wanted to continue to develop and improve.
The latest Plegs use a new formulation of polymer that is harder and longer lasting than the original grade, and of course replacement sleeves are still compatible with original cores.
You can get them in Clear or Clear Black, which is basically black except it now uses the same polymer as the clear Plegs.
After spending some time across the pond in Europe and a Verde trip up north in Canada, Dave Thompson is now back on US soil. He’s currently relaxing in Wyoming and hanging out with his family. It seems like it might be a chill month or two for Dave but come September, he’ll be going on his first ever Road Fools!

Dakota Roche has a Q&A over at ESPN talking about his video part in the new Cult video, Let ’em Talk.
Well, Dakota himself isn’t being held hostage. He’s actually on his way back home to Huntington Beach right now… probably to get another Starbucks beverage.
What is being held hostage though is his new edit. Those clips he had in the Welcome to The Team video we showed you guys earlier this week were actually left overs from this new one! There’s plenty of street lines and clips in it that’ll drop your jaw and there’s even some trail clips thrown into the mix as well.
