My G Shock DW6900CS-4 BMX collaboration

I believe most of us do have fond memories about BMX. I am lucky to get the chance to make my own collaboration here between my Casio G Shock DW6900CS-4 and BMX. Although there is no real BMX bike to relate to this collaboration just a pink round neck T-shirt should be enough for me.

This pink T-shirt is made by Anvil

It has the logo "off the wall" on the left chest

Some people especially male adult will stay away from pink related color. But for me pink is something special but you need a matching shirt to make it more appealing.

With Casio keeps introduce more color option in their line up, I would say that in some way people will accept the idea of having strange color appearance.

Most people I know still prefer black color G Shock. To make a change is not an easy task. If you stick to one color Gs then you will probably miss all the excitement. Btw, I am just a poor G Shock collector that my finance won't permit me to buy expensive limited edition G Shock. This is my attempt to make my own G Shock collaboration. Hope you like it

Police on mountain bikes are a common sight in many cities around the world, but Leicestershire Constabulary reckon they've found an even better tool for urban crime fighting – the BMX.

Changing BMX fork

I have 2 sets of Dyno bmx fork and plan to swap one of the fork with Acong GT bmx fork.

Unfortunately, the project was half way done when we learned that there are two types of forks for bmx. One is a standard 1" steer and another is 1 1/8" steer ( thread less ). So in order to use the GT fork, I need to use different headset. However, I do have a spare GT (no quill) stem that suit perfectly with the GT fork. I still learning about bmx.
