This year at the First Annual West Coast BMX Show, sponsors are showing lots of support.
From simple prize give-aways such as bmx helmets, chains, old school seats, and t-shirts to a full build vintage BMX bike (which i'll post later on), expect to see tons of BMX related stuff given away to the public.
One of our generous sponsors, Urban Menace Bikes, located at 930 Brunette Avenue in Coquitlam BC, has put up a brand new Macneil BMX frame for give-away. Make sure you show up at this year’s Pop Culture 2012 event and attend the BMX show in order to have the chance to WIN the Macneil frame prize give-away.
3rd Prize Give-Away: Macneil BMX Frame from Urban Menace
Sponsor: http://www.urbanmenacebikes.com
Date: August 18, 2012

Re: 1st Annual WestCoast BMX Show & Swap (Metro Vancouver) August 18, 2012
If you had a Kuwahara or some other type of BMX back in the day, you were most certainly sitting on a Nitto Seat Post and steering with Nitto handlebars or stem. They made the Laser Handlebars and Laser post for Kuwahara (laidback and straight), V-Bars for Redline, seat posts and stems for Shimano and many others.
That being said, Natsukashi BMX (you can find them online and on ebay) has been generous enough to put together a Nitto Package for give-away at this year’s 1st Annual WestCoast BMX Show & Swap in Metro Vancouver, BC. The Nitto Package consists of brand new Nitto Cruiser BMX Chromoly Handlebars, a Nitto Stem, a Nitto seat post, and a Kashimax Aero Seat. The Nitto bars have a width of 28.5″ and a rise of 6.5″ making them perfect for any old school BMX 24″ or cruiser build of the 80′s. Geometry-wise these bars are identical to bars that came standard on Kuwahara 24s (with the 5 inch head tube), yet there are a few differences in which you can distinguish them.
Make sure you head down to the BMX Show at Lions Park in Port Coquitlam this August 18th, 2012 and enter the draw to WIN the Nitto Package from Natsukashi BMX.
2nd Prize Give-Away: The Nitto Package (Cruiser Bars, Stem, Seat Post, Kashimax Aero Seat) from Natsukashi BMX
Sponsor: http://www.facebook.com/NatsukashiBmx
Date: August 18, 2012
Draw Time: TBA
Location: Lions Park, Port Coquitlam, BC

Re: 1st Annual WestCoast BMX Show & Swap (Metro Vancouver) August 18, 2012
The chrome is really nice on this f/f so I didn't do much to it besides a cleaning...
The decals are in great shape! Probably repop so they look really good.
Coming together nicely...

Just when the build was coming together nicely... hand slipped and...
Some really sharp teeth on this chainring!! I swear the whole tooth jabbed right into my finger. Blood wont stop so time to call it a day plus its dark out... don't want to get my blood all over these nice parts!! ha ![]()
The build continues tomorrow... stay posted for more pictures!
