Flashback Friday!
For this Flashback Friday, I dug deep into the sticker box and pulled out these guys. These are from the first fork that Sunday made, the Morning Fork. As you can see we haven’t strayed too far from the name because our current fork is the Morning 2.1. With these forks, you have two different stickers for an asymmetric sticker design. The Sunday logo was on the right leg and the non logo side on the left. It’s been awhile since these came out, so I can’t remember exactly where the crayon scribble design came from. See you next Friday!
Aaron Bike Check/Fat BMX
Aaron Ross has been traveling for the last 2 weeks, but he’s making his return to Austin this weekend. Go over to Fat BMX to check out a full bike check of his watermelon Funday bike. Look for the frame, fork and bars available in about 2 weeks! Both Odyssey and Sunday will have bars and forks in the watermelon green! Get ready! Check out Aaron on this bike in the Empire Cake video.
Quick Clip: Jake Seeley
Jake Seeley is also caught in this photo-sequence turned into a video by Scott Marceau. Jake has some good posts up on the Garden BLOG, I’d go check now. Also, check out www.pushitastop.com to see more of Scott’s photos.
Quick Clip: Alex Magallan
Here’s Alex Magallan‘s handy work in this photo-sequence that’s been turned into a video clip by Scott Marceau. Two hop overs, two double peg grinds and a manual in grass gives you another reason why Alex is such a shredder on a bike! Check out more photos from Scott at his website www.pushitastop.com.
Tom vs Goliath!
Tom Arkus is back in Pittsburgh after a brief trip to Austin. He’s enjoying the spring weather, digging trails and making brief trips over to Woodward to ride vert. Here is what he had to say:
Yesterday, a couple of the Pittsburgh mates got together for a funny little adventure to Woodward. Camp is only 2.5 hours away from us, which enables us to take random trips here and there. The last couple of times I have went, I had some motivation to dabble with the epic vert ramp in Could 9. I wish I had a full face when riding that vert ramp. Always a good time when at camp.

Spring has Sprung!
That’s right, winter is over for the most part and spring is here! Tom Arkus sent me a whole bunch of photos and a write up about the start of trail season in Pittsburgh. Here is what he has to say:
It’s that time of year again. Full digging mode! This year has been extra difficult due to Brian Yeagle being injured for the next few months, which in trail terms is pretty most of the season. So, everyone has to put in extra digging time to get the trails rolling. So, far we have been working as a community. Mark Potoczny, Chris and I have been sharing the work load. We spend a few days a week working on Hazelwood, then we spend a few days fixing Mark’s house up (all the jumps that are tarped, and the dog sitting on the landing). In the mix of things we get a chance to ride Monroeville (Over look of the whole set of trails with chris on the left corner), and PTT (whip and one footed table also!) which is in jeopardy of being plowed at the moment. Lets hope that doesn’t happen. So, all in all once summer rolls around we will have 4-5 sets of trails to ride in Pittsburgh!
This year we have been concentrating on make some longer lines. Our trails, Hazelwood have only been around for a year in a half so it’s been tuff trying to make them feel like full trails. But I feel it this is the year! Also, some spring pictures of the progress we are making. I would really like to thank anyone that has helped us work at the trails! Even Louie, my dog puts in work at the trails.

Flashback Friday!
Anyone remember this guy? Some of you will remember the frame, but probably no one will remember the color. This is one of the OG Sunday frame prototypes that we received in the fall of 2005. We had 6 different metallic colors made including purple, blue, yellow, red, green and gray. When the frame was released in May 2006 only the red, green and gray colors made it to store shelves. There was even plans to have 2 different rear ends lengths, but BMX had made the change to short rear end lengths by that point.
