Volume Bikes
.........................................................................................................
Volume Bikes was started by Brian Castillo after he rode for S&M Bikes and Primo. Brian has always been an excellent rider who had a lot of input on the design and development of the BMX parts he was riding. Hence, Volume Bikes was born. Volume is a small rider owned company that produces high quality frames, forks, bars and bikes for street and dirt BMX riding. Brian even has some a little BMX racing roots in him and it comes through in the strength and lightness of his designs.
Soon after the success of Volume Bikes, Brian launched Demolition Parts. to make - well, you guessed it - BMX parts! Demolition makes cranks, wheels, grips, stems, pedals, pretty much everything you need for your bike. And just like Volume, it's all very high quality and designed to perform. - http://bmxwheels.com/VOLUME/index.html
// Pictured: This shot was supposed to be Volume's first advertisement (Ride BMX 1999) featuring company owner Brian Castillo doing a huge ice-pick grind on a home-made grind rail that Mike Escamilla built for this particular shoot. What replaced the ad was random magazine pictures that Brian had prior to the ad. Due to Brian having the flu, the shoot was pushed back and the photo later ended up on the cover of Ride BMX.
