Mike Gonzalez and I took off last weekend to ride street and parks in Atlanta as well as stop at one of America’s oldest skateparks, Kona, in Jacksonville, Florida.  It was a long drive to Kona, but it was nevertheless worth it.  I hadn’t been there since the CFB contest there over 10 years ago, so it was really nice to go back there.  Mike had never been there so it was a completely new experience for him.  Old school snake runs, very messed up cement quarterpipes and an even scarier concrete halfpipe made for a fun day. The pool that I loved on Roadfools 7 was changed, but it was still fun.  If you’re ever in north Florida and want to ride a classic park then go there.  After Kona, we headed up to Atlanta where we met up with Alex Magallan and Andrew White. Traveling is a lot of fun.

Here’s a sneak shot of Alex Magallan filming for his upcoming Props Owned section which will be amazing if this picture is any indication.  Just click on the picture to see the whole thing. This must’ve been scary!  Alex has been on a tear lately, so much good stuff coming. Check out the Alex Magallan/Maximum Destruction EX Bonus bike that we showed last week.

Here’s a sneak shot of the new Vapor Blue Wave C frames that just arrived in the warehouse.  This color is amazing!  I’m not sure whether to switch from the Black Magic I ride to the Vapor Blue.  Either way both 21.25″ and 22″ frames are  available this week.

We’ve got some special for you!  Since Alex Magallan has been killing it online and in print, we decided to give him the very first Sunday Bonus bike. You’re probably wondering what is a Sunday Bonus bike?  Well, it is basically short runs of very unique bikes that are in addition to the current bike line.  The bonuses can be team rider models, artist collaborations, charity benefit bikes or whatever creative idea pops into our heads during the year.  Alex’s bike continues the monster truck theme we’ve had going with the 2011 EX models. The Alex Magallan/Maximum Destruction EX bike will be available first in the UK, Australia and Canada starting next week.  The USA will see them around April 18th.  Congrats Alex!  You deserve it!

Alex Magallan in Emerald, Up, Up & Away and Props

Yup, Alex Magallan is officially a snowbird.  He just flew back home to Nashville after spending the winter in the warm weather of Austin, Texas.  He made his nest on my couch for the last 3 months while working on some Sunday stuff as well as his Props Owned part.  Right before he left, he did one of the craziest things I’ve seen in awhile.  So, you’ll definitely want to check out his video part.  It was fun while he was here and I’m already excited for his next winter’s visit.  This photo was from an earlier trip session at the Round Rock Skatepark.  Style for miles!

Check out Alex’s Up, Up & Away section from 2009!

Jake Seeley made the jump out to Portland recently and he captured his trip across America in this flipbook.  He should be out there most of the spring and summer.  Looks like a fun trip!

Check out Austin local and pool shark, Scot Draper’s brand new Conductor frame with Morning 2.1 forks and Triumph bars.  We’ve been helping him out for a little while now. I think we are also his main tube supplier as well.  There’s a good photo at the end of him riding the East Side Trails.  Classic move, good rider and great trails.

The Fairdale tumblr just posted some pictures of Taj Mihelich’s painting of Aaron Ross’ head.  This is the actual way his tweets are conceived in Aaron’s head.  Amazing!

Props did a good article about BMX filmers and their filmer boards.  Everyone seems to have a different set up, but it’s unanimous that having a filmer board is the way to go.  Here’s a photo of mine that I got at the Sunday Skate shop in Buffalo.  To read more about my set up then just follow this LINK.

My board was used extensively on Megatour 10, check out our flipbook from the trip.
