Did anyone see this photo of Jack Maddox in the latest BMX Plus? Jack is Mike Hoder's friend in Seattle and I hooked him up with 21.25" creamsicle Sunday frame a few months back. You might also remember Jack from his check out in Shook a few months back.
First off, Mike Taylor had his knee surgery the other day, I haven't heard from him, but let's hope it was successful. Have you read his interview in Dig Issue 58? It really captures his sense of humor as well as his damn good riding! Mike won't be riding for awhile, but here are a few more photos of him in the meantime, here, here and here!
In South African news, Stephen Savage flew over to the US last week. After doing the tourist thing in NYC, he is now down in NC hanging out with Chad Shack from Shook.

This is Ian Schwartz's video part from Andy Marshall's video Day Late Dollar Short. The video came out somewhere around 2001 or 2002. I was on Roadfools 9 when I first saw this video and we ended up watching it religiously on the trip. Very refreshing and interesting because everyone in the video was unknown at the time. Look closely and you can see Ian's orginality today, but in an early form. Youtube is the best!
Let's start this off by showing you a picture of Karl Poynter's new Jaguar green frame. This color will be available in the next month and is inspired by Joe Cox and Mike Taylor being from the UK. Karl also wrote a story for the come up about an Atlanta trip he went on recently. Karl went on the QBP trip which is in the latest Props, so look for that!
Speaking of Mike Taylor, he is about to go under the knife this Wednesday. Mike has had some bad luck when it comes to knees and he hurt it back in September on the Padded Cell roadtrip. He is finally able to get it taken care of this week, but he will be out of commission for the next 5 months! He had to film most of his tricks for the Sunday video over the past 2 months!
Vinnie Sammon texted me the other day about having to take on EE of the Supra Team! EE got all east LA vato when Vinnie talked to him about Terry Kennedy. EE thought he was tough and ended up getting roughed up by Vinnie and friends. Too funny! In other news, brakeless Vinnie frames will be available in about a week, so look for them!
Last year our shop released it's first video titled Hey Man Woo! The video mostly featured the shop skate team but I also had a section. Nuno from Defgrip hit me up for the part, so I sent it to him and now it is a feature on their site. Visit Defgrip to check out the video part. Enjoy!

Just trying to get it right first! In bar and fork news, they should both be restocked in the next week or so also, but they will be going quick. Congratulations to the Anaheim Ducks who won the Stanley Cup yesterday!
Well, I have been riding the toothpaste color for a long time and I was looking for a change. So here it is, one Sunday kit all in creamsicle color. In other news, I hyper-extended my knee really bad 3.5 weeks ago. The day I put this together was my first day riding again, not a bad way to come back. Also, Databmx did an interview with me, so check that out in their interview section here.
