News Time!
Okay, so I enjoyed Thanksgiving a little to much which is why I haven't updated the site lately. Here goes,
Karl Poynter has an interview over at
BMXUnion.com just click the previous interview link on the left and he has also has a Q and A thread on
thecomeupbmx.net.
This is a great picture of
Ian Schwartz, we've all been there. This is from the tail end of an east coast trip we did in the freezing cold around the beginning of November. Up until this point, Ian was staying in New Jersey with Vinnie Sammon and Mike Brennan. He's currently back home in Ohio looking for a warmer place to be, so chances are you will see him in Texas after the holidays.
I have been so busy lately, one of the things I have been doing is putting this whole in the side of my house. A couple friends helped me put a window in my kitchen or what will become my kitchen. I've eaten out pretty much every day for a month and I'm over it, so I need to get this done quick.
The big news around here is that my cat ran away in early November, but she returned last night. Don't know how she survived the cold, but she was smart coming in last night because it is snowing in Buffalo today!
Stephen Savage on BMXonline!
Steven Savage came from South Africa and visited the US for almost 7 months. While he was here he quickly became a shop favorite, the only person to get stitches from the warehouse, got free health care in the USA and 360ed his way onto
BMXonline. So go check out his 360 or almost 360
here. He went back home to
Joburg last week which is a smart move because the weather just turned crappy
here. Either way we were bummed he couldn't visit Buffalo before he left.
All sorts of check outs!
Over at
Red BMX Magazine, you can see
Lee Dennis do a tailwhip up some steps on an original Sunday frame, but also see his complete
Second Wave frame bike check with
Morning 2.1 and
Triumph bars in the new blue. This is an older photo of Lee over icing a roof some where on the
Niagara Peninsula.
Check out some photos of
Steve Kennedy and
Eric Lichtenberger over at
Defgrip. Toothpicks and Nosepicks are what there doing at the D's Giving Fest this weekend which was put on by
Give D clothing. Special appearance by
Ben Ward.
History lesson!
Currently, I'm on an east coast rain trip. The weather's been horrible, but I've been able to reflect on some things. Yesterday, we rode
Avalon in Maryland and I quickly found out that these ramps are from
Section 8 in Youngstown, OH. That park goes way back for me, so it was really cool to see this stuff again.
Next, this is a
VDC frame that was in the upstairs of
Avalon. I couldn't help, but notice how the old
S&M Keith Treanor Menstrual Cycles frame was influenced by this bike. Along with the
Kink Empire that I rode for way too many years. Both are shown from left to right. The S&M photo came from
bmxmuseum.com.
Then this photo is also from the VDC frame, doesn't this seat tube junction like very modern? I was blown away because I hadn't seen one of these frames in person, so to also see a 'modern' style junction like this was a bonus. More random info coming later.
New Setups!
Here is
Jake Seeley's new Sunday set up. I've known Jake for quite a few years, ever since he was a wee little camper at Woodward. It's cool to see him grow up, keep riding and doing smith grinds to icepick to 180 at the Brooklyn Banks the other day. Jake also rides for
The Garden in Pittsfield, MA. Here is the photo I took at the Banks the other day.
Josh Betley got his brand new Sunday frame checked out on
Vital BMX. This is a video checkout, so go
here and enjoy Josh talking about it. Also, you can check out some other videos that he has on the Vital site.
Bits of News for you!
We've been really busy as of late, hence why the lack of updates.
White
Morning 2 forks and
Triumph bars are now available or will be available later this week along with a few white
Wave frames too. Check out
Beloe's Brian Osborne's white
Wave frame all built up on the right.
What we've been up to is making money! No not really, but
Karl Poynter did win this pile of $1 dollar bills, 500 to be exact, at the
Red Bull contest in Asbury Park, NJ this weekend. Karl along with Team Knuckle Sandwich took third while myself in Team Electronical got fourth.
Lee Dennis got to build up a 21 inch Second Wave Sunday frame along with
Morning 2.1 forks and Triumph bars. Looks really good to me. Lee recently went down south and rode over a giant
baseball.
Eric Lichtenberger who is on the latest cover of Ride US, just had an
Up and Coming article on BMXonline, so go check that out right
here. Everyone that talks to me about Eric tells the same story, how casual and nonchalant he does the scariest things like the UCI rail ride.
