upcoming events

Just to run down some upcoming events we are sponsoring…

First up, this Saturday in Orlando is Rat Race 3. Winner gets a Subrosa Malum frame, that’s sick! I’ll be taking the van down to hang out so holler. Any Duvaliens want to roll, hit me up.

We’re making a custom one-off bag for Quake City Rumble, this weekend in San Francisco. Ursula did some applique and it’s looking sick. I’ll post a pic on the Tumblr as soon as it’s finished.

The Chronic Is Upon Us!

new premium pedal straps!

The latest iteration of our ever-popular foot retention system are ready to hit the streets. Built with a new tubular webbing, these straps are even stronger with a flexible feel, able to take a beating but easier to break in. We’ve lengthened the top closure and and the tapered straps for added surface area and enhanced velcro holding strength. Available in three brighter, bolder colorways (Black Gold, Orange Kush, and Grape Ape) these straps are online now and coming to retail stores soon. Check ‘em out!

The whole gang!

Video Break: Miles Mathia for Elevated Engineering

June 05 2010 posted by Jack

edit from G-ville

Miles is killing it in this edit he did with Elevated Engineering, a clothing company out of Gainesville. Miles is our most local rider and also rides for our good friend Lex’s handmade bicycle operation, Villin Cycles. We’ve been huge fans of Lex and his work for years so when we heard he was developing a trick track bike, we had to get in on the action and combine his amazing builds and attention to detail with the awesome power of Burro Pedal Straps.

EE did a nice write up of Miles with some pics of his gorgeous bike. You really need to check it out!

So watch this video of Miles tearing shit up on the sleepy streets of Alachua County and see for yourself what down-home Northeast Florida engineering can do! Man, that boy can move in some tight spaces!
