I want to get that "As One" vid from Bruce Crisman, but my traditional channels do not have it. Any recommendations for a mail order company?

empirebmx.com is also really good. Good stock, and they will get it to you in San Fran a little quicker than goods. I've never ordered from Goods, but everyone that I have talked to at Empire seems to know their stuff.

I'm lucky b/c my lbs is pretty in-touch in the bmx scene. I try to get most of my stuff from there...

Trend is gone, I don't remember why, some kind of owner BS. Anyway, the guys that made it awesome, are the ones that started Empire.

I've never ordered from any of these places, but may I ask what's wrong with danscomp?
the story goes back and has to do with dans original owner being a nut job(supposebly yelled and cursed at a bunch of young kids at a BMX race) and selling out to a series of big corperations that don't care about riding but just about taking rider's money.

empire, albes and others are rider owned and operated

Albes is great! I'm fortunate enough to live within driving distance of them. It's about an hour and I pass a lot of shops to go there. Todd, Mark, John, and Turbo are great guys!

Empire is my favorite, but I've received good service from Flatlandfuel, Albes, and Danscomp as well.

Oh yeah, 50/50's service is good, too.

Seriously, Empire kicks ass. If you order from them, be sure to pick up both of their Shop videos, "Empire BMX" and "Chill Bro."

I work at a shop that's right in between 2 fairly popular parks. I'll be damned if 95% of the runts that come in have Dan's Comp stickers plastered all over their bikes. They've also never heard of Empire. And they run 25/15 setups because they can't afford a new rear wheel but want microdrive.
