Stumbled across this on Make. Less flexible than even the cheapest bike stand, yes, but also probably cheaper than the cheapest bike stand. Works for me! A 10 minute project (if you count the five minutes at Home Depot buying parts).
More Taintstick.
Monkeys of War…Director’s Cut. Hopefully Sean won’t have to bleach his eyes after this.
Ever have one of those weeks where you go to two funerals in three days and just need something to make you laugh?
Yeah, Ellis’s outfit was enough to do it for me.
I came across this video of Julien DuPont riding trials in Lyon. I’m pretty sure that a lot of people will scream “he’s doing BMX tricks on a motorcycle!” But the fact of the matter is, besides the trials moves, almost everything he does is something that BMX stole from skateboarding, so logically he should get a pass.

Jake “The Ripper” Barbee is my wife’s all time favorite BMXer. He is her favorite, in part, because when she first met him he was actually too short to sit in regular ol’ folding chair and had to climb into it like Everest. Of course he was four then, now he’s eight and has videos.
Found this on KrtSchmidt.com
Anyone who knows me knows that I have an extreme hatred for all things Volkswagen, but I also think that Danny Mac is the most interesting street rider out there (that he’s on a trials bike is even better as people then ignore that he’s doing insanely progressive stuff and, instead, focus on the size of his wheels making Danny Macaskill kind of a litmus test for those who appreciate riding and those who are interested in fashion). So, I’m posting this, because DM is awesome. But I still wouldn’t buy one of the products being hawked here.
Not remotely BMX related, but I laughed because it’s true.
BMXers tend to be broke, especially teenage ones. so, when $30 is put up for you to do a trick that you’re not at all comfortable on on a ramp you’ve ridden for all of 90 minutes, you step right up. Then, 20 minutes later in a fit of cockiness you “one more time it” and end up with a positively Smillian cankle as a result. Oh well.
