Blackheart Blacklist Frame
If you have seen Nowhere Fast you know who Dave Young is. If you live under a rock and haven't seen it, we'll fill you in: He's a total ripper. And, like many other Pro riders, Dave decided it was high time that bike companies started being run by the riders. He started Blackheart and is producing high-end frames and other bits. The Blacklist is built in America by Brew whom you already know for building bikes like T1 and FBM. Seatstay brake bosses allow you to run any gear combination without hanging the chain up on the brake. Dave is better than you and he designed and rides this frame. Need we say more? |

Dirt Bros. Industry Sprocket
Speaking of rider owned companies, you can't leave out Vic Murphy and Dirt Bros. Vic does the sickest table-tops this side of Brian Foster and has been the man behind Dirt Bros. for over a decade. Among the products offered is this finely machined sprocket featuring the famous handlebar wings logo. Available in all the popular sizes in black only. |

Demolition Numchuck Pegs
Brian Castillo is another Pro who's gotten into the rider-owned company thing. However, one company wasn't enough for Brian, so he started Volume and Demolition. The Numchuck peg was designed by team rider Mike Escamilla and features an aluminum inner body with a chromoly sleeve. This gives you a light-weight peg with good durability for coping and rails. For your concrete grinding needs stick with the standard Demolition pegs which are 100-percent heat-treated chromoly for a longer grind-through life. |

DK Titanium Pegs
If you are looking to shave weight and you've got some extra coin, look no further than the DK titanium peg. "But isn't titanium expensive," you ask? Weren't you paying attention, we just said it was. DK's Ti pegs come with anti-rotator pins and are surprisingly durable even on non-metal surfaces. DK is one of the oldest companies in BMX and one of their first products was a single-bolt seat clamp and a polished stem. Didn't think you'd get a history lesson with your titanium peg description did ya? |

Etnies Forward DVD
Arguably the best BMX video ever made, and not surprisingly, from the mind of BMX Videographer Dave Parrick (Nowhere Fast, Trash, Dirty Deeds). This video rules, and you should own it. Consider who is on the Etnies team if you have any doubts about buying it because you are worried it won't kick ass. Also available on VHS if you haven't stepped up and bought a DVD player yet, but the DVD has tons of extra footage on it |

Nowhere Fast Video
This was Dave Parrick's project before Forward, and a lot of people considered this the best video out there until he did Forward. Not yet available on DVD, but worth buying on VHS until the DVD comes out. If it takes Dave as long to get the video to DVD as it takes him to complete a video project (he's a perfectionist) you had better buy two VHS copies because you will wear them out watching them over and over. |

Primo Brake Lever
You know Primo makes some dope products, and this lever is no exception. A nice bend, oversized barrel adjuster, a beefy clamp (you don't have to remove your grips to install it), no sharp edges to hack up your hand, and an oversized pivot bolt to decrease the amount of play at the pivot makes this the nicest lever out there. |

Primo Wall Grips
Wall tires provide mad grip for your bike, and Wall grips provide the same amount of grip to your hands. Comfy if you ride without gloves and available in assorted colors like black, green, gray, and burgundy. |

S&M Pitchfork
Most pro riders use Pitchforks. It makes no difference who they're sponsored by, they use Pitchforks. Sometimes they put their sponsors stickers on them, and sometimes they give props to Chris Moeller and S&M Bikes by running a shield sticker. Why do guys who could get free forks from their sponsor pay for Pitchforks instead? Because forks are a pretty lousy place to skimp on quality when you are doing a gap-to-flat or over-jumping a 30-foot set of doubles, that's why. If you go big and don't want to be picking your teeth up off the ground after your cheesy fork snapped in half, get a set of Pitchforks. Think of it as dental insurance. |

SunRace/Hula Hoop Wheel
When it's time to replace your worked machine-built rear wheel 'cause you hung up one too many times, do yourself a favor and buy a nice quality wheel that was hand-built by someone who knows what's up. At Solano Avenue Cyclery we build our selection of high-end wheels using stainless steel spokes, high-quality sealed bearing SunRace hubs, and rims like the Primo Hula Hoop. This gives you a solid wheel that doesn't weigh a ton and spins for days. Also available to your liking with other hubs and rims. |

TSG Helmets
If you're sick of smacking your skull against the pavement at the local skatepark when some kid on a Razor scooter flails in front of you, replace that mesh trucker cap with a TSG helmet. Available in solid colors as well as logo and signature models from the likes of S&M, Standard, UGP, Ryan Nyquist and more, this might be the best $40 bucks you ever spent. TSG offers a much better fit than the other skate helmets and they come in way more colors. Not only that, but they meet the government safety standards which will make mom and dad happy. |
