  Fun times in Tallinn!We’ve been having fun so far in Tallinn, Estonia.  Meet up with a bunch of new friends, rode the local indoor skatepark, shot hoops, met Shrek and ride the wildest pretzel rail thing we’ve ever seen. Looking for more fun today before we head over to Stockholm, Sweden for a few days.
  We made it to Estonia!Well after an amazing time at Simpel Summer Session, we used today as a day of rest and travel.  We just arrived in Tallinn, Estonia after taking the ferry ride across the Baltic Sea. Traveling by ferry is one of the coolest ways to go if you ask me.  Gary Young, Andrew Brady and myself […]
  Sunday Friends: David IrelandDavid Ireland sent me a picture of his 2011 Gary Young Big Blue EX for this Sunday Friends.  He bought it at Circuit BMX in Pawtucket, RI. Thanks David, your bike looks awesome!
  Gary Young wins summer Simpel Session!Gary Young took the win at yesterday’s summer Simpel Session (AKA Stadi Session) in Helsinki, Finland.  In usually Gary Young form, he blazed his way around the course firing out all sorts of jumping variations, doing gaps to rails and finding lines that no one else could.  All of this is done at high speeds. […]
  Helsinki so far!Well, we’ve been in Helsinki since Wednesday and it’s been nothing but fun. Somehow we’ve managed to fight off jet leg relatively easy.  Not sure exactly how we did it, but maybe it was riding the Signature BMX warehouse mini ramp then hitting up the huge wooden skatepark on the northwest side of the city. […]

  Sunday Friends: Sean GroceCheck out Sean Groce’s Sunday Friends.  Here is his super clean 2011 Sunday Scout which is designed for going fast and riding dirt.  He also made a very good pedal choice by running the orange soda Odyssey JCPC pedals. Nice bike Sean!
  Jake under the knifeJake Seeley is going under the knife today to get his knee cleaned out.  Not sure if he’s following Garrett Reeves’ lead, who had knee surgery last week, but Jake should be healed up soon and be back on his bike in just a few weeks.  Good luck Jake and heal up quickly.
  Sunday at Summer SimpelSunday is heading to Helsinki this week to hit up the summer Simpel Session contest on August 20th.  I guess it’s called Stadi Session during the summer. Gary Young, Aaron Ross and Jim Cielencki will be there.  Alex Magallan had to pull out due to his broken arm suffered this weekend.  Some of us will […]
  Alex Magallan out!Alex Magallan had a bout of birthday bad luck this weekend and broke his arm riding his local trail spot.  His birthday was last Saturday, so to celebrate he put a new bike together and took it to the trails.  Unfortunately, a roller got the best of him.  He should be healed up and on […]
  Model C in Complex!Complex Magazine did a brief interview with me about the Model C’s geometry, history and our 24″ BMX lineup.  Their main focus was the 2011 Model C PRO, but it’s hard not to talk about all the other aspects as well.  Pretty cool!  Check it out HERE.
  Project Model C Part IIIThe guys over at Plus Size BMX coming through again with the third installment of the Project Model C video.  In this series, they ask all types of riders to give their feedback after riding riding a Model C 24″ BMX.  We’ve always said that it feels just like a 20″ just scaled up and […]
