All I can say is Lee Dennis is really good and tough as nails.  There’s a whole bunch of amazing moves in this video that probably get overshadowed by the ending.  His recovery was surprisingly quick, he was back riding in only a few months.  Here’s what Lee had to say about the trip, video and crash.

So this was my first trip to Texas, it couldn’t have been at a better time.  It was January and the prime of winter where I’m from (Niagara Falls,Canada) so to get the chance to go to Austin where it’s t-shirt weather was a treat.  I was there for a total of 14 days, where I got to ride a ton of famous spots I’ve seen in videos over the years. It started out awesome, but ended with the one of my worse crashes to date.  Flew home 2 days later then 4 days after that I was omitted to the hospital where they found I had ruptured my kidney and lacerated my liver.  This was early in the year, there was still snow on the ground so I relaxed/played video games for the next 2 months and was good to go by April. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.

Take another look now.  Here’s a LINK to the original post.

Fall time is arguably the best time of year.  The cooler weather, the leaves changing and just a refreshing change from the hot summer really make fall stand out.  Alex Magallan, Tom Arkus, Chris Hilbrich, Mike Gonzalez, Bobby Parker and Bobby DeLaat took our newly acquired van up to Pennsylvania to ride some of the best trails in the world.  The weather cooperated most of the time and the trails looked amazing.  Thanks to all the trail builders in PA who let us stop by!

Garrett Reeves is featured in our newest ad doing this high speed street gap to wallride. Actually, this is Garrett’s first Sunday ad!  I’m a big fan of having your first ad be a banger and this one is no exception.  This is featured in January/February 2011 issue of Ride BMX.  In other Garrett news, he’s currently enjoying the beautiful weather of Long Beach, CA because he’s now a resident there.  He just moved there early this month.  Congratulations Garrett on your first ad and the move out to California!  Photo Jeff Z

Introducing the new Sunday Conductor frame.  It’s look is simple and classic with geometry specifically suited for stability at higher speeds.  The stability comes from the longer top tube lengths combined with it’s 14″-14.75″ chainstay length.  It has a normal, not so twitchy headtube angle that remains responsive.  The chainstay brake mounts continue the classic look.  It’s drivetrain fits up to a 36 tooth sprocket and is specifically designed for larger gear ratios.  Sunday frames have always had a stiffer feel due to the Director style wishbone and the non-sandwiched seat tube junction which improves lateral stiffness. While the gusset and the minimal spacing between the toptube and downtube at the headtube improves vertical stiffness. Whether it’s a set of doubles at the trails or a bowl corner at a concrete skatepark, the Conductor is ready for it all.  Look for it to be available in early 2011!

Sometimes you forget how good videos are when new stuff appears online everyday.  Alex Magallan’s D-Town Limits video came out at the very, very end of last year.  It was filmed over a 2 day period which usually means the quality will be low, but not in this case.  Good stuff, fast riding, unique lines and just all around shredding.  Alex had this to say about this video.

Donelson Limits is the area where my brother and I grew up. A ton of memories and good spots.  Also, it’s a stones throw away from the Grand Ole Opry.  The edit was two days worth filming and a pretty fun project. This being my first video that I’ve ever edited, I was just learning and figuring what goes where. Still can’t believe the year is coming to a end. Time flies, hope you enjoyed. Have fun go PEDAL!  Thanks.

Here is the LAX to ATX Flipbook that accompanies the video we dropped the other day.  There’s a whole bunch of photos of the whole team plus some random ones as well.  Mostly shot from my point of view, but other photos by Jake Seeley, Alex Magallan and Aaron Ross.  There should be some more randomly on our Facebook page as well.  The trip was a lot of fun and if you missed the video then follow this LINK.

Tammy unleashes his stylish 360 over this big grass gap for your enjoyment and the lens of Brandon Means.

Aaron Ross spent some time in NYC during October hanging out with his friend from back home and riding the Red Bull Trick or Treat contest with Eric Lichtenberger.  Here’s a video ESPN did with him one day during that trip. Fun stuff and Aaron’s the best.

Aaron Ross was pronounced the second most popular rider for 2010 according to BMXonline.com.  This is easily understandable, he’s one of the nicest, most creative and best guys in BMX. Congrats Aaron!

Check out his Empire Cake video after the break….
