Product News: The ‘VP VARIAL’ Headset (VP-USA)
One of the latest breakthroughs in the Mtb industry is the ’VP VARIAL’ adjustable headset by VP Components - The headset allows 3 degrees of head angle adjustment – Fresh Huh!? The headset itself has been designed to allow 3 degrees of trail side adjustment! Furthermore, the stem can be adjusted within two minutes! Voila: The mountain biker now has a headset that can easily be dialled to the handling characteristics required – NICE!
Now the question… How long will it be before we see a BMX rider rocking one of these headsets??? A product like this could be very useful indeed to the modern day flatland rider – When working on front wheel tricks the headset angle could be set steeper; and vice-versa for rear wheel tricks! Obviously it could be used for street riding if could be proven to be strong enough – Again, mint when the time comes to to drop that (as Chad Degroot would say) ”Front Wheel Boogie”!
Ps. Drop us a line if your a retailer interested in ordering VP Comoponents - Chris@VS

Locations: Amsterdam Skatepark >>>
Carry on reading for further images...
Back in December I travelled over to Holland for The Rebel Jam. I was lucky enough to spend some time in Amsterdam prior to the contest in Eidenhoven – One of the highlights of my stay in Amsterdam was being granted a private session at ‘Amsterdam Skatepark‘. This was a good oppourtunity to ride an empty skatepark! And I was really impressed with the facility – The ramp quality was high and the design was fun to ride – It definetly had a ‘street’ bias due to the fact it’s primarily a skateboard park (it’s only open on a Wednesday night for BMX riders!). Also, some of the Qtr pipes are a little slacker than your typical transition. When you’re not on your bike you can chill out in the lounge/bar where you can enjoy a good range of food and drink. All in all, ace skatepark, don’t miss it! – VS

/// News: New skatepark in Newtown (Wales/UK) nears completion ///
It’s good news for residents of the Mid-Wales area – The eagerly anticipated outdoor skatepark in Newtown is nearing the final stages of construction. Judging by the photos it looks like it will be a real treat to ride. And for anyone old enough to remember their old skatepark being burnt down, lets just be greatful it’s concrete (by Acrete Skateparks). Just to clarify, it’s located in Newtown, Powys (Wales, UK)! Check the digital visalisation and construction phase photos below…
