Matt Beringer has been at it again. A new version of the very popular very strong Beringer bar is now here. Its the XLT Beringer bar which is grams lighter and is now 4Q thermal. These guys are 27" wide and 8" rise. You may ask what's the difference between these and the Slam or Slam XLT's?? They are slightly narrower across the cross bar so they don't feel as large as the Slams but are still just as comfortable. USA made of coarse and at R550 a pair.

"Lighter" than yours!

These are my new favorite part on my bike. Easy to install and very nice on the hands if you don't like to 'feel' your bar ends. Take a look at how narrow they are, just about capping the end of the bars. Beringers Bar Tabs ar R120 a pair. Click image for more.

For as long as the stocks last we giving away (yes free) BMX Direct Ghetto Jam DVD's. Better late than never they say but this is the perfect time to start hyping things up for the 2007 Ghetto Jam.
The DVD comprises of 3 main sections; 2x +-2:30 minute parts of all the action and a 4n half minute photo slide show of all the lunacy that went down on the weekend + the days leading up to it. There's plenty stuff on the bonus menu as well as a hidden feature...but that's supposed to be a secret- I think.

If you wondering if its a gangster flick or lumber jack guide then you obviously haven't seen the Ghetto Jam web page or the video previews...

No strings, no postage just good ole free. Use the contact page to send us your postal address and a few days later it'll be in your post box.
PLEASE NOTE: We are not responsible for you wanting to be at the 2007 Ghetto Jam after watching this DVD!!!

All packaged up and ready to roll.

Not sure if we ran this photo already, but what the hell its dope. Stuart Laing burning up the Petermaritzburg mini ramp in December 2006.

Before we head out to Richards Bay on a 'discovery' road trip I thought I would drop this one on you....any S&M is nice right? but a custom S&M is even nicer wouldn't you say?? Check out Justin Thompson's' custom S&M Stricker and why he chose the Stricker as his next bike. It's tight.

The look in your eye says you want one...
