Old School Sundays: Jason Davies R.I.P

Last night the sad news that UK rider, Jason Davies had passed away broke online. Jason could do it all at a high level, flatland, vert, mini, dirt, skatepark riding. During the 80’s Jason excelled in flatland, and was one of the first UK riders to make the trip stateside competing in the AFA masters and came back here in the UK swinging with a bunch of new tricks and style after each visit. During the 90’s and early 2000’s, Jason later in his career made it as vert rider, and competed in the X games for many years, living stateside.

This weeks OSS is dedicated to Jason, who helped inspire me in my younger years. Such sad news, thinking of all his family, and friends and the BMX community during this difficult time.

R.I.P. Jason Davies.

IGI RiRi Stem

Yesterday we featured the IGI RiRi Stem on our instagram page, and Dub kindly hit us up with details on this new IGI creation….

– 6061 ALUMINIUM
– 29MM REACH
– 200 GRAMS
– STACK HEIGHT 43MM
– 5 MM ALLEN BOLTS

STRONG POINTS of the stem are the rounded back part with very minimal edges to bang your knee on. No bolts at the back, so the 4 outer bolts reach the back piece through slots in the middle piece.🔹️💠🔹️ On assembly or disassembly the 2 middle bolts are used to keep the right bar angle and tightened onto the stem, so you don’t lose your bar angle. Small jewel of a stem. 💎
