The Beacon Bmx

I’m a little late with this, but I’ll post anyway considering this video is still hot. Last Friday T1 hosted the premier for the Surfin’ for the Ugly Broads dvd. The Metal Bikes website said the video would kick off “around nine, or a little after dark” but it ended up starting fairly late since it looked like they were having projector issues. Despite the late start, the place was packed. It was too dark to get a good photo of but the T1 ramp resembled somewhat of a football stadium during a home game. People were seated anywhere you could think of. I even noticed a group of 8 dudes perched along the top of the coping/coping spine as if they were pigeons on a power line. They looked very comfortable. At one point it got so crowded people couldn’t slide down the ramps without plowing into someone. Just as I noticed this some dude seemingly fell from the sky, flew over people’s heads and did the old tuck and roll to get off the 8 foot deck. I thought “what an idiot” as someone told me it was Tom Dugan. I guess that guy is nuts. (continue reading…)

Terrible One posted a good bikecheck of Danny’s bike. Check it out to see all the pics.

T1 commercial 2002 from joe rich on Vimeo.

This video brings back some good memories. I remember this commercial was out before T1 ever put out a video. At the time there were rumors of one dropping so the riding in the commercial was a preview of things to come.

It’s good to see some new pics of Ruben riding.  T1 posted some good stuff from Ride and Dig.  Ruben and Danny rule!   Joe also linked a video from the Ride site.  The last clip shows that Mr. Alcantara still has style for miles.  Check it out here. (continue reading…)
