Kink
We spec'd more than two dozen seats from your favorite companies like Federal, KHE, Odyssey, Subrosa, Shadow, and more! Check out what they are made of, how much they weigh, and how they are different from the rest of the seats at the shop. Also, check the first page of this post for your chance to win a Federal prize pack!
The Kink team just spent ten days in Taiwan and with a crew of heavy hitters like that in completely new territory you know some moves went down... Darryl Tocco put together this short video as a glimpse of what their trip was like. Also, Ryan Fudger was on the trip so you will definitely see some Kink/Taiwan goodness in the magazine in the coming months.
The kink team has been traveling a lot and as a result has a ton of footage. Here's a handful of second angles, crashes, and other raw clips from California, Arizona, and France.
Road Fools: Etnies vs. Kink hits the road on April 20th for ten days of high level competition*. The crews are set and the training began months ago for this gold- medal-fest, thats right...we have turned Road Fools into multi-faceted extravaganza...
Blazing the trails, boosting a park, or shredding the streets, Sean Sexton's bike is an all-around BMX machine. We nabbed some photos of it while shooting Sean's interview for the June 2009 issue, which will be dropping mid next month. Until then, checkout the bike, and then track down the new issue next month to see it in action.
Aaron Smith and Darryl Tocco were in California for a couple of days but decided to meet the rest of the team in Arizona. There's a really good mix of riding in this video but what do you expect when you have guys like Sean Sexton, Darryl Tocco, Tony Hamlin and thee rest of the Kink crew. Hopefully this nine minute montage will impress you as much as it did myself.
Edit: New bars and a contest added to the post! We went straight to the source for this one and got a dozen companies to send us the specs on their handlebars. If you are in the market for new bars or just want to see what the latest parts are weighing in at, this buyer's guide is for you. Hit the page numbers at the bottom to click through the products.
Three years since their last video, and with almost an entirely new team, Kink's new video Safety First is finally out and was totally worth the wait. Jason Owens, Sean Sexton, Albert Mercado, and Chris Doyle all put forth a big effort for this video and here's what they had to say about filming for Safety First.
Some of the Kink guys just went down to New Hampshire to ride Rye Airfield and film this video. Is Jay Roe still the team manager for Kink or is he a full on pro rider at this point? I'm confused...
After putting together an amazing section for "Safety First" Aaron Smith is being moved up to the Kink Pro Team for 2009.
