LOTS OF NEWS!!!
DK bikes set my son Kase up with a 12" General Lee and he's pretty stoked. So am I since he learned how to walk at 9 months old and manualed his first rail at 10 months.
.
It's the middle of the summer and we have been busy bees so i'm sorry we have slacked a little on the updates. Click below for tidbits about what's going on with the Albe's crew.
Dane Wild went out to NY a few weeks ago to film some stuff with the FBM guys. While he was there he was invited on an Etnies road trip with Aaron Ross, Tony Hamlin, and Stew Johnson starting in Boston Ma. In the first few days he broke a rail grinding up it and did a number on his leg. He kept riding anyways. He don't need no stinkin' doctor.
Our first international team rider Daniel Dhers is making his mark on the sport. Last month he shocked many by placing 3rd. in park at the Louisville stop of the Dew Tour. Last week at the Denver stop HE WON!!! That's right. Daniel is the top spot in points for the series and $15,000 richer. Congrats to Daniel again. If for some reason you find yourself at woodward sometime this summer you may run into him and he may tailwhip over you.

Our newest team member Chad Kagy also did well in Denver. 2nd place in vert right behind Bestwick. Flatspins are probably one of the coolest things i've ever seen anybody do on a bike. and let's not forget about our beloved Austin Coleman who made the street finals, seems as though we were very well represented in Colorado. nice job, boys.

Mike Spinner has been reppin' Albe's at Woodward most of the summer. 720 tailwhip???? Think it's real??? Guess you'll have to wait and see. Scope the one of a kind Albe's T- Mike is wearing.

We had some Albe's girl t-s made with the new Uni-bal logo. If you want one click HERE or give us a call. We have a few colors to choose from. With how hot it's been around here the past week or so it sure seems cold in this photo.
