In the ever evolving sequence of Chris Silva edits, this new one on a freecoaster may have caught some people off guard. Chris has been testing a prototype MacNeil freecoaster for the last few months, and before the snow made us all shut-ins across Ontario, he filmed enough to put this edit together. Traditionalists fear not, as he has already returned to his faithful cassette hub, but you can read an interview with him about hubs, riding, California, Toronto, and more on the RideBMX site.

With all the recent Hango-Mania I thought I would re-visit this video that we posted over three years ago. Jeremy spent a weekend with Jordan Hango and in just two short days he had enough to put this edit together. It was also the first time he even rode the Woodyard ramps. Much has changed in three years, but Hango is still pedalling really fast, and going much higher than most other riders.

Now for more current Hango offerings, may I turn your attention to the incomprehensibly scary photos below shot by Dave Scott. A terrifying ledge ride to fence hop on the left, and a wallride to anal sphincter releasing drop on the right. You can see them larger over on the Open Liquor website.
