Sunday stickers put to good use!

This the best, I love seeing this stuff! Skier J sent me the one on the left and the right one was right at the front door of Interbike! More updates later this week when I'm not riding the Bruiser!

Aaron Ross gets Bronze!

Congratulations to Aaron Ross for getting the bronze in street at last weekends X-Games in Mexico. Check out the video to see the highlights and Aaron's excitement when he does the smith to whip. I guess he battled a bunch of flat tires during the contest, but I couldn't really tell it from the video. More when I talk with him later!

Jim Cielencki Top 5

Go over to Defgrip and check out my Top 5's! In my opinion, its almost 'unpossible' to have only 5 Top 5 Simpson quotes! There's just way too many to only have 5!

Few videos!

Here's a few videos for you. First is Kurt Rasmusson's home video. If you don't know Kurt then you don't know that he works his ass off making kitchen cabinets with his dad. He does this full time and I'm not exactly sure how he is able to be so dialed on a bike while working that much. Most people as dialed don't work nearly as much or at all. The second video is of Mike Taylor and his buddy Nails who we give parts too. Its actually from a BSD trip they went on. You'll have to make it through a bunch of skatepark footage to see the guys riding, so hold tight.

Karl Poynter new bike photos!

Sunday has gone black! Here is a photo of Karl Poynter's new set up. He's been riding the same blue prototype set up for quite awhile, so we got him one of the Black Magic frames to try something different.

The funny thing is Sunday went from all wild colors to now all black. On the UK trip we just finished up, everyone was riding a black frame except for Aaron Ross's Funday frame. Thought it was ironic, but its real good to know that we can change it up and the product is still the same. Look for Karl Poynter colorway soon!

Sunday UK trip! Update

Well, we are on the final leg of the trip and we ended up in Portsmouth. After a night of playing pool against Nottingham's finest ladies, we woke up to the raindrops as seen in the photo. Which leaves me time to bring you this update of our trip. As you know it is raining, but you don't know is we are right across the street from the Law Court tranny walls. Damn! Oh well, there is a chance that it will stop raining by 1pm. Either way we have a back up plan which involves riding in tunnels or under a bridge.

Yesterday we spent the day riding the two spots shown here. I'd show you more photos, but I left the cord for my camera at the previous hotel. The photo to the right is just a small fraction of what is at this building. We only rode this part of the spot because here we wouldn't get kicked out so quick. What made this spot even better was eating at the Whole Foods supermarket which made Aaron feel like he was at home.

Next, this photo is of Mike Taylor grinding up a rail at this estate somewhere near the other spot. I have no idea where it is because London is really overwhelming. Either way Mike had to be really creative just to get the speed for this rail. I rode down a bunch of corners and Ian did one of the funniest cruising lines ever. It wasn't really a cruising line per say because it was actually scary. More updates later and see more photos over at Ride UK.

Sunday UK Trip!

Aaron Ross, Ian Schwartz, Joe Cox, Chris Russell and Mike Taylor along with myself are over in the UK right now doing a trip for IMG and filming for the Sunday video while dodging rain drops. Look for video clips from Filmer Bill in the video and photos in an upcoming RideUK article. Here are a collection of photos from the trip so far. We end it tomorrow and I'll post some more then!
