New Video!!!!


Been beating up my new signature frame "The Hurricane" Took it to some spots I wanted to be sure that this is a sturdy product worth paying for. Did some jumps and grind spots I have done before but just wanted to be sure this frame was comfortable and reliable. Very impressed with what Leader Bikes has done with this frame, I hope everyone is as pleased as I am with it. Enjoy the Video
Filmed by Rory Mcdermott and Jamil Gray

Biking all day!!













So yesterday me Jamil and Rory went out to an Elementary school and did tricks for kids thanks to one of my family members who got me to do this. The kids loved it. It was Extreme Sports week at camp so we came out and did some tricks for them, Signed some autographs and just had a great time. After we were done we went out to a new Skate Plaza in Westchester and rode for a bit. Saw one of the homies Eddie who rides BMX and wanted to get some flicks of him riding. Check it out

Leader Welcomes Matt Montoya



Met Matt a few months back in Sacramento and right away we became homies. Real chill mellow cat. Check out his newest video for Leader

Westchester Skate Plaza



There is a new Skate Plaza that just opened last week. About 10 minutes from my house and it is pretty dope. Nice little stair set kicker banks ledges everything you pretty much need to have fun. Lots of skaters but bikes are welcome im guessing since no one said anything. Check it out if you have time or are in the area.

Leader "HURRICANE"





The Leader Hurricane is a standard trick track Geometry frame just like Leaders first trick bike the 729 TRK. The frame is much more solid and does not have the signature gusset anymore. After trying all of the Fixed Gear Freestyle frames from Leader I have to say this frame is my favorite, because it still has the geometry I love but I can also ride the frame without being worried of it breaking in a short amount of time. The frame is really responsive when doing tricks. Going backwards feels great, much more stable then some frames I have ridden before. I'm really stoked on getting my own Signature "Chacon" Hurricane frame coming soon. The design work will be pretty cool. Thanks a lot to Leader for making this happen for me. Stay Tuned while I still shred this bike up. Edit coming soon.

Some Features
-Different Colors as well as my special edition RED with Flake.
-Drop Outs will be changed.
-Good enough Bar-spin Clearance
-Integrated head set
-Mid BB
-14mm Drop Outs
-Tire Clearance 45C+ (Have some RESIST 45c NOMAD tires on now and still have lots of room. Going to buy bigger and see the biggest I can fit but I love my Resist Tires)
-Old School Trick Track GEOMETRY.

Retail will be around $400 plus some change but you will not be disappointed in this frame.

Also Remember it is still a Prototype the production Model will look much cleaner.
