Supercross BMX “Bubba” Saddle
October 31, 2011 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors · Comments Off
When Bad Bubba Harris saddles up for battle, this is the saddle he’s using. The Bubba Harris signature saddle, by Supercross BMX is nine ounces of stability when your warming up, cooling down, or haulin the mail into the first turn, and need some leg leverage.
Smilin Bill Ryan, BMX mad scientist, and creator of the trickest BMX brick-a-brack in the known universe says this of the Bubba saddle:
When we first brought Bubba on to the Factory Team over a year ago, we wanted to offer some signature parts. The first item we did was the Saddle– it was a nice experiment to get Bubba’s design ideas out to the public quickly.
The “Pin-it” Graphic style is all Bubba’s idea, and he has wanted to use Neon Green as a signature colorway for years.
Just in: Bubba Harris Signature ENVY decal kits that also add the Neon Green into the graphics on your Envy, to match up with his Signature Saddle and the Lizard Skins Signature Grips.
More Bubba Harris Signature Products are in the works to complete the groupo, along with new Signature Line Products, from a few other key Supercross Pros such as Dani George, Nate Padilla and Jeremy Rommel.
The saddle also sports kevlar corners for shred-protection, and chromoly rails for long-haul haulin.
Available now at J&R for $39.95…but wait!

Speed Gets Traction With ABA Rollout!
April 27, 2010 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors · Comments Off
Back on March 1, BMX News reported on the newest brand to come out of the secret labs at Toby Henderson’s VSI Products (home of other marquis names such as Intense BMX, T.H.E., Sinz* Products, ITS and Vigor helmets). This week, Speed Bicycles announced they were ready for the starter to hit the cadence button and get the race started: building a brand new BMX brand from scratch.
A release said:
The Speed “M Series” frames are constructed from custom-drawn, 6061 alloy, triple-butted, hydroformed tubes, with integrated head tubes. Lightweight and strong, Speed frames offer the perfect blend of engineering and design for BMX racing.
The Speed M Series Frames will be offered in 7 sizes –Mini XL, Junior XL, Expert XL, Pro, Pro XL, Pro XXL, and Pro 24”. MSRP is $399.99 and each frame includes a headset.
Bikes will begin shipping within the next few weeks, and the web site should be up & running by the time you read this (or very soon thereafter)
As part of the rollout (to continue with our starting gate analogy), Speed is kicking its promotional machine into hyperdrive by joining as an ABA National Series Sponsor. Quoting, again, from the press release:
“As it has been for over 30 years, the American Bicycle Association is the leader in BMX Racing.” said Toby Henderson, CEO of VSI. He continued: “When we decided to launch Speed Bicycles, of course our first contact was with the ABA. They have been a key partner in marketing VSI brands for many years now, and we are very happy the relationship focuses on the growth of BMX Racing. This Team effort makes us, again, proud to be an official sponsor of the ABA with the new Speed line of bicycles.”
We assume the debut of the Speed/ABA partnership will be at this weekend’s US Nationals in Bakersfield, CA.

*You did know, of course, that Sinz is properly pronounced like “Signs,” not as in “acts forbidden by God.”
