After blowing up the internet just a week ago with the OM Flyer $100 Bill Wrap, we bring you the exclusive first look at SE’s next banger: the 2010 PK Ripper Looptail Metal Plate Wrap. This all-alloy part frame comes in a unique dark gray ano color and is limited at 250 pieces for the whole US of A. Guaranteed that the $850 MSRP ends up going way higher once these hit the streets.This bike is sick. Mad looks after the jump.

SE has just released some pics of their super rad 2010 OM Flyer $100 Bill Wrap. The newest incarnation of this retro frame bike is clearly meant to stimulate your personal economy through the “mind on my money / money on my mind” philosophy it embodies, although it’s gonna cost you eight $100 bills to get one. Hey you gotta spend it to make it. A grip of detail flicks after the jump.

One thing about collabos is that even though everyone swears they are “played out” they open up new directions for the companies involved and when done right are always going to be dope. Case in point is The Brooklyn Element, the new project between Element and Brooklyn Machine Works. You’ve got coast on coast love, eco-friendliness and even some Pharrell thrown in the mix – boom that’s a collab! The Brooklyn Element will consist of a head to toe apparel pack and bike “ideal for alternative transportation, in all environments.” Take a couple looks at the apparel after the jump, we’ll have more on this soon.

A little while back we brought you some semi interesting skateboard locks which weren’t all that interesting because who the hell locks up a skateboard. Anyway, in much more interesting lock news, DecoBMX has posted an story about alternative bike locks. Just a quick note, alternative here is not in the sense of new technology, eco friendliness, or any sort of mechanical innovation, it’s in the sense of like “damn I forgot my lock but I gotta take a shit somewhere!” Genius stuff.

Hoffman Bikes team rider Brad Simms recently did a dope video bike check of his pro model B-Rad 20.875″. Check him out as he goes through all his components in detail before taking his rig out to shred the LBC. This kid is nice. Via VitalBMX.

Ride BMX recently broke the news on the official creation of Cardinal Bikes. With a team made up of Anthony “Boy” Flores, Nate Moroshan, Manuel “Eman” Cantero, and John Heaton, all ex Volume heads and all dudes that currently ride for Primo BMX, Cardinal is hanging their hat on using a semi vertical dropout in the frame. Seems dope. Read the whole interview with Nate Moroshan here. A look at the semi vertical dropout after the jump.

BMX Legend Dave Mirra has decided to go brakeless on his new bike and is talking about it on the Mirraco site. This is gonna get gnarly:

The first day was a mystery because I have always used my brakes for certain tricks like tailwhips, spin tricks and tucking the lever for nohanded 360’s. I adapted immediately and actually learned tuck 3’s without the lever. It is a totally new feeling. It’s like your parents saying go ahead and take the car alone for the first time.
