Ups to front are a fun move to do, and can be pretty handy if space is at a premium (especially on natural!). However, if they go wrong then they can sometimes go very wrong, as Ali C found out on Saturday in Huddersfield. Both rider and bike were fine - albeit after a quick bit of allen key work on his steerer clamp bolts!

Monday, monday, monday!
We usually get one or two videos appear in our inbox after a weekend and here we have a couple which will hopefully liven your Monday morning up. Firstly, we have a video from a group of riders down south who were frustrated with the usual rubbish UK weather, so got together and made an indoor riding area which looks a lot of fun! Featuring a host of riders including our own Adam Bessell and Joe Maher.
We also have a new video from our team rider Adam Morewood who seems to get better with every video! This one features him riding some awesome rocks up at Higger Tor. Enjoy.

Videos and video-related products!
A couple of videos to post up today - firstly, Joe Maher has tried getting to grips with his new camera by heading to the Barrow Barn and getting some moves done. Speaking of Radical Bikes/Barrow Farm - if you'd like to help them win £1,000 to improve the facilities there, click here to vote. It's free, easy and doesn't require registering or any of that business.
Adam Morewood (who is riding in the black Jitsie Airtime clothing on his prototype Onza Genesis XS frame) invited his friend Sam Shepherd to his house to ride their practise area - amazing riding considering they're both only 10 years old! Bright futures ahead.
If you're looking for a frame similar to the Onza that Adam's riding or the Monty that Sam's riding, the new Echo Kid 2013 frame might be worth a look. At £229, it features geometry specifically aimed at younger riders, Echo's 'Spanish' BB system, their neat integrated chain tensioners and the updated Mini Bashplate. A great frame at a great price!
Lastly, if you're in the habit of making videos yourself and own a GoPro, our latest product is the SP United GoPro POV Case - a handy yet tough storage case for all models of GoPro Hero and HD Hero cameras. Click that link for more info.

New TNN Engineering Products
We've received a couple of new bits and pieces from the guys over at TNN Engineering, including the new TNN Engineering Curved Blade 26" Forks and the 2013 TNN Engineering CNC Brake Clamps.
The Curved Blade forks are available in either 26" 4-Bolt or V-Brake Only, and feature some beefy alloy legs with a tough steel steerer tube. If you're looking for some strong rim brake forks then look no further!
The 2013 TNN brake clamps are a bit chunkier than their predecessors, and that extra material combined with a larger radius for the transition from the clamp area to the bolt area means that they're up to 45% stronger than the previous model. Not bad!
