After corresponding with A’ME Grips on several occasions, Mr Bob Rutten (Head of Marketing over at A’ME Grips) has kindly enrolled both myself & ValleySideDistro onto the A’ME Athletes Support Programme – Within the next ten days I will have received a box including fourteen different grips models (in various colours) – Subsequently, these grips will be tested by various riders on the ValleySideDistro Programme (including members of the flow team). Grips available for testing include the ‘BMX FREESTYLE ROUND GRIP, the ‘BMX CLAMP-ON TRI GRIPS’ and the ‘BMX CAM GRIPS’. If you’re not on the ValleySideDistro list, but you still want to test a set, get in contact and I may be able to get a set out to you. Thanks again to Mr Bob Rutten! – Chris@VS Continue reading “/// Link of the Month (May): A’ME GRIPS ///”

Meet The Nollie Master – The Brian Kachinsky Interview.
“I remember watching Baco 9 for the first time over a decade ago – A film which was packed with technical ramp and street riding from riders such as Dave Friemuth, Chad Degroot and Brian Vowell. Amongst these well grounded names, there was a new rider on the block. His name was Brian Kachinsky and he was instantly recognisable. It was not his style, nor his creativity that made him stand out… It was the fact he was so brave! Meet Brian Kachinsky!” – Chris@VS.
