Sunday has some good stuff in Dig issue 71. You can see Lee Dennis featured in the New Day Rising article. Check out this link to see some clips from Lee’s interview. There’s a good photo of Alex Magallan in the Leland Thurman article. Chris Hilbrich and I are featured in the Sunday ad. He’s showcasing Sunday’s trail frame the Model D while I have a few little photos of myself riding the Model C. This issue is a great read especially the Leland article!
Here’s our latest installment of Sunday Friends! If you own a Sunday, e-mail us pics of it or upload it to the Sunday Facebook Fan Photos or the Sunday Flickr Group. Thanks for all the support and keep the pics coming!
Aaron just sent us this photo of him rocking his new Fluorange Funday and bar-spinning over a bench! It was shot by Kris Brock at a spot near the Brooklyn Banks. Thanks Kris!
Now that Up, Up and Away is available in most of North America, I wanted to show some photos from our Guadalajara Mexico filming trip last June. Aaron Ross, Jake Seeley, Ian Schwartz, Kurt Rasmusson and myself all went down there to film! It was such a fun trip to Mexico, all the guys rode well and we met so many super nice people. I had no clue what this far south in Mexico would be like and it was amazing. Driving was a little rough, but once you realized you could basically just do whatever you wanted then everything was fine. Check out the gallery, it’s what I could get when my nerves weren’t frazzled from driving!
Aaron had his pants mended at the tailor across the street. Sat in his underwear here.
Working 9-5! Aaron rides while Chad films!
Not quite what Aaron was looking for, but nevertheless good!
Somebody had too much excitement for the day!

More randomness!
Mixing chocalate cake and salsa will cause you to make this face!
Practice crooked grinds before the gap to one that didn't quite work!
Only the best spot ever! So much fun!
We loved Mexico! Everyone is so friendly!
You know how hard it is to capture 3 guys doing barspins at once? Well this is the best one?
This was one of the best times of the trip!
Pictures from our Up Up and Away trip.
Check out Paul de Groot‘s Model C which I believe is the first international one built up! He said the bike changed a bunch since this photo had been taken. He went with the Morning 24.1 forks, but opted away from the 24umphs to try the much taller Roseanne Bars from Solid. The reason why is that he happens to be 6’6″ tall. He had this to say about the Model C, “The bike is insane!! It works exactly like you predicted, agile, lightweight, comfortable…..everything! I LOVE IT!!!” Paul owns a small BMX shop in Holland coincidentally named Paul’s which does a good job promoting the scene there. Check out his shop’s website at HERE!
Check out Eben Krackau‘s new green Model C with green Plus 4 bars and forks. It’s weird having to explain who guys are, but for those that don’t know Eben was a G Banks local out of San Antonio. He rode for Homeless Bikes and Standard throughout the early to mid 90s and had parts in Dave Parrick‘s Homeless videos. He said one of the best things about the Model C, “I think this frame would make it a lot easier for most of us to be able to keep riding into our 40’s.” The Model C is intended to be a fun bike for all, but if it keeps guys riding as they get older then awesome!
Sunday started flowing Vinyl owner Tom Arkus and here is his silver Model D set up! His bike is 21.25 Model D with Black Magic Morning 2.1 forks and our 4 degree upsweep Forumph bars. Have you seen any of Tom’s recent video work? Go check his site or check out the one’s over at Dig! We are planning on shooting with Tom some more for an upcoming web video! Sunday trails web video?
The end of May is a great time to be in Buffalo, this pool in the photo is mostly drained and is totally ridable! You can pretty much go as fast as you want and carve the whole main wall. You are able to air it and pocket air the corners along with so much other stuff. Don’t fall because it might as well be covered with sandpaper. In the photo, I’m hopping over the diving board thing and into the vert. Right after we shot this photo, the cops booted us out. I’ll be back next May!
Check it out! The latest edition of the Sunday Friends section. There are some really great set ups in here! From bright colors to clean color combinations, these are all looking good! Can’t wait to see some more good colorways!

Aaron Ross has a bike check up over at the Dig site. This is actually his old bike because he is riding the new Fluorange colorway, but I have yet to get any pictures. Look for those really soon! Either way both the Ocean Blue(seen here) and the Fluorange are available now. I’ll have a Sunday Friends Fluorange Funday bike check up tomorrow.
