BMX Video Monday

I'm back but still getting into the swing of things after Interbike, and while trying to get the new blog ready to launch. In the meantime, here's some footage of pretty much the best BMX'er on the planet.

Off To Interbike

We don't have a booth this year but I'll be around the QBP pavilion and wandering about.  If you see me say hello.

Records

Two classic country records, Willie Nelson Shotgun Willie and David Allan Coe's Long Haired Redneck, and my favorite Electric Wizard album Witchcult Today.

sMc Classic

Remember when doing tricks on a fixed gear was fun and not a "sport?"

It's good to see that these dudes do.

It's weird to see a young buck like JBall so good at it.  I never would have guessed that anyone who started riding in the last few years would have bothered to learn all the golden oldies from 2007.




All-City Annual Vol 3 and 2013 Catalog

Stoked to let you know that the new edition of the AC Annual is out along with our first product catalog.

Why am I excited?  Because I shot most of the photos in the annual, and it's really cool to see them in print form.  They're free, so go to your local shop and get one.

Favorite Things: Holdfast Daypack

IMG_5798

Last year at Interbike the boys at Holdfast were kind enough to give me one of their then pre production samples of their Daypack.  Since then both B. and I have been using it frequently, and recently they were kind enough to send over one of the production version so now we both have our own.  (cute)

While it's not the bag I use for commuting or my everyday life, it has become the go-to for trips to the dogpark, to the beach, running, or just day-tripping.  It holds all the stuff I need, and nothing else and it's super lightweight and moves well while running and jumping.

At $85 and made in the U.S.A. I can't recommend one enough.

Bandit Cross 9/23

race11 copy

Since the U.S. GP is happening in Madison, there's no cross next weekend in Minneapolis.  So let's fix that by having some Bandit CX action down at the old Hobo Camp.

I was hoping to launch the Brownie Lake course with the next race, but since I'll be at Interbike until next Saturday, there's no time to prep it.  Hobo Camp though is in prime condition, and this time we'll be able to do the big gravel hill climb.

Show up at 4pm.
