Venture - Jack Fogelquist & Max Kauert, by Keegan Quiroz

Finally we're starting to see some really good web videos for 2013. Jack & Max put in work in a rad looking zone; really like watching these dudes ride. Riding starts sometime after 1:10, and the banger is serious business.

I got a phone call from Nukeproof product designer who told me he had the new prototype dirt jump frame and wanted to take it for a test ride at Bridges skatepark in Belfast to see how it handled, how could I say no.

Nukeproof wanted to create something that both MTB riders and BMX riders would like. I love my bmx but if I don't ride it every day I start to get a bit stiff in the lower back and I struggle to get back into the flow of things, so this bike was a welcomed treat.

Look at it and you see a mountain bike, hop on it and you notice the difference. It offers the room up front, allowing for knee clearance and making it feel a little more comfortable , but the back end is short and I thought that the wheelbase sits comfortably low. I've always been sceptical about a MTB in a park, but once riding this, I have a totally different opinion. Once you're on it you barely notice notice you're on an MTB. it handles great and is easy to whip about. It is the closest thing I've riding to a bmx, and I've tried 24" rigid bikes and different 26" variations.

It's great for anyone that wants a fun bike to ride, and its perfect if you are an older or bigger bmxer who still wants the fun tech side fo the bmx but with more height, speed and room up front. It's also perfect for the MTB rider who doesn't want to commit to a bmx for the skatepark, and wants something they can blast around a park, whip through some dirt jumps and even have the option of blasting about the street. It would even handle some light singletrack stuff, just get used to the single speed first.

It's in the development process with Nukeproof rider Jack Fogelquist who shreds the trails and slopestyle courses all over the US. the frame uses custom triple-butted steel tubing with a 44mm headtube, gold anodised alloy chain tension adjusters, an integrated gold alloy seat clamp and removable cable guides. It's designed around a 100mm travel fork and uses geometry based on Jack’s personal setup. It will be distributed by Hotlines-UK and priced at around the £350 mark. But It's not available to buy just yet, so keep your eyes peeled as they will be unveiling the full production model at this year’s Eurobike trade show in Germany.

Fogelsode Season 3 #1: Average School Day

For most of September, I found myself in a constant routine: load up my bike/gear at night, go to school in the morning, grab a burrito, and head straight over to Post Office for a little sundown sesh. Sometimes a bunch of people would be out there, other times it was just me. It never really mattered too much though, as any ride turned a stressful school day into a good day. I brought the camera out one day, and self filmed for this edit. - Fogel
