Dakota Roche's Prototype Cult Frame
There have been a ton of questions as to what's going on with Cult ever since Robbie Morales, Dakota Roche, Chase Hawk, and Chase Dehart left Fit. This doesn't really answer any questions, but FBM is currently making Dakota's prototype Cult frame. We know nothing beyond this, but this prototype will for sure contain that world famous FBM quality! Click here for more on their site.Big Big BMX Show WINNER #1
Big Big BMX Show number one this season was sponsored by Volume Bikes. The lucky winner of that contest was FlowsFast184 aka Marky Thomason. It was a bitter sweet victory, Marky wasstoked on the package but broke his fibula right before he won. We are all wishing Marky a speedy recovery. Get Well and congratulations!
Marky threw together an edit of himself from footage he had right before the injury. You don't have to be a good rider to win a contest, but it's pretty cool to know he shreds!Ben Hucke off Haro
Ben Hucke has officially parted ways with longtime sponsor Haro Bikes. Here's what he had to say about this:"I want to thank everyone at Haro for the good times over the past years. They've done a lot for me and I have a lot of respect for that. However, I'm looking forward to moving on, having fun, and doing my thing. I haven't made any concrete plans; just taking it as it comes for now. Anyone want to go ride?"
Allan Cooke, Haro brand manager, had this to say about Ben's departure:
"I'm sad to see Ben go, but he's got to do whatever puts a smile on his face. Thanks for everything Ben, and let us know if you ever need anything!"
MacNeil = No More Flatland for 2010
MacNeil has announced that they will no longer be making flatland products for 2010. Here's what they had to say on their site:"...we will not be continuing to make flatland products in 2010. We had a blast creating a unique line of parts with Travis (Collier), but we feel at this time it’s best to let the flatland world move in the direction it wants to go, while we move in ours."

Ronnie Napolitan off Mankind
Ronnie Napolitan is no longer riding for Mankind. No word on future plans as of yet, but expect to be hearing something soon.
Stranger Bikes?
I'm assuming Stranger Bikes will officially be dropping very soon, but here's what we currently know. Rich Hirsch is the guy in charge. The site (http://www.strangerbmx.com) features a clip of Caleb Quanbeck doing a really long nose wheelie. That makes it safe to assume Caleb is no longer getting hooked up by Subrosa and is now riding for Stranger. Also, Shawn "Shitty' McIntosh recently verified that he is riding for Stranger. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.
