CW is back!


I did a double-take when I first saw this on a German BMX site. At first, I thought the Germans were doing a CW tribute. I then did some more research and found out that CW Racing had indeed been set up, by none other than Mike Miranda, their old pro! Check out the framesets above. They are made like back in the day, with some new-school influences. If you manage to get one of these, you will need a quill stem and a 1" threaded headset. Looks like Hollywood Mike Miranda is back on the gas! Check it out at cw-racing.com

My DK Legend


Somewhere in the year 2000 when I got back into BMX after a 15-year hiatus, I bought the best bike that money could buy and it was the DK Legend. Robbie Miranda had jumped over 10 cars with it and it was pretty much OK even after a bad fall. So I thought to myself, why not? If that bike could take a bail like that, it should be no problem carrying an overweight guy like me. Over the years, it has served as a wonderful companion till I sold off the frame and fork last year. It was indeed sad to lose it as we had gone through a lot together but it went to a person who would make better use of it than I would. This bike won the Vans Triple Crown in 2000. It is truly a Legend.
