2015 Bike Check: Ben Desjardins

Going on his 2nd year with the LamaCycles/NS Bikes Freestyle Team, Ben is currently filming for a new web edit with filmer Broderick Horne. These guys are putting in a lot of work into this so make sure you don't miss it when it comes out! In the meantime, we caught up with Ben for a quick bike check. His bike always dialled and bounces like a basketball when dropped on the ground! You know how that feels!

I love the NS Capital26! I mostly ride skateparks and this geometry is perfect! The Capital26 uses BMX sized rear hubs which means I can run left hand drive! Woo! Some might think the front end is jacked up way too high but it rides like a champ. 100mm travel fork, topload stem, and NS District Bar combo probably makes it the highest front end in that style of bike. The NS Enigma rims are indestructable! I've ridden them for a year now and they are straight as an arrow.

Overall, this is by far the best bike I've ever had thanks to LamaCycles and NS Bikes!
