This product was inspired by the decades of Oakley BMX frames back in the late 70′s and early 80′s. The latest design will surely, not only give you the ultimate rider look, but will definitely catch everyone else’s attention as well.
This new edition of Array is made of both a Jawbone and Radar frame. Each is paired with 3 matching lenses and an earsock to match the color of anodized parts back then which is also starting to come back as the latest fad.
In addition to this hip design, Oakley added the matte black color for the shade’s frame jaw to match those BMX tires nicely. The Oakley BMX Array comes in a custom Microclear storage bag which is also good for polishing the lenses and a case to store them in.
And when I said Array, it means this also comes with 3 lenses, one frame and multiple…

The facilities will be open to the public with major construction of the new building will begin next year at the site which will be renamed Riverwalk.

Bebop exposed new flat pedals at the 2010 Sea Otter Classic. The VP59 is the result of Bebop’s initiative to research on the basic qualities BMXers want in a pedal. Bebop found out that most riders remove the center pins of their pedals. Because of this, Bebop decided to design the VP59 without your typical webbing and with material that functions to help hold in place additional pins on the flat pedals.
Weighing 365 grams per pair, the VP59 only has five pins per side, three in front and two in the rear. It has a low stack height of 7.5mm and a full length Cro-Mo axle. The bushing is self-lubricating central/inner LSL.
The pedal has an extruded aluminum body and outer sealed cartridge bearing. It retails for $85 and comes in colors of blue, light blue, pink, purple, black, silver white, yellow, green and red.
