Alex Magallan Wall Blast
Alex Magallan is recovering nicely from his broken arm. Nicely enough to send me this photo of him wallriding one of the first spots I ever rode with him at. As usual, high wallride done with style. Alex should be back riding in just a few more weeks. Photo Derek Derose.

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 will be here for a few days before we head over to Stockholm, Sweden later in the week. We will be hitting up Mystic BMX sometime tomorrow.
If you didn’t know, Gary Young won Simpel Summer Session. Check out this photo of him being carried to the podium.
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. Gary Young has been destroying every spot we’ve gone to so far. Today is the big contest day with the Stadi Session (AKA Simpel Session) going down in a few hours. The weather turned out to be sunny with no rain, but there is a bunch of wind. More updates soon!
Jeff Grindstaff Hop
Check out this spot that Jeff Grindstaff is riding. It’s weird to see a rail with no stairs outside of a skatepark, but here is one. Jeff rides for us through Angry Penguin in Johnson City, TN. Photo Jake Hunter
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 III
The 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 it seems like everyone confirms this. There’s a bonus in this video. At the end, there’s the footage of Jon Faure becomes the oldest person to jump Mega Ramp. So sick Jon!
