Rad Santa Flipbook

View Gallery

This might have been one of the funniest things to make.  Only a few of us have every worn a Santa Claus suit and no one had ever ridden in one.  It was quite a surprise to see what tricks got done.  Aaron Ross did the 3whip 15 minutes after being in the suit and did it multiple times.  I think Gary Young had forgotten he was even wearing the suit. The most difficult part was dealing with the beard covering your vision.  Look for some of the unused clips, crashes and random stuff later on, but for now enjoy these photos.

Rad Santa!

That’s right Santa gets rad! Well, maybe just everyone over here at Sunday gets rad in Santa suits. The whole main team, flow team and employees can be seen shredding in this video. This was such a fun video to make. People really love Santa. Numerous times random people stopped to get there photos taken with Santa, snap photos of Santa riding or just got a smile on there face because they got to see Santa. There was even a 4 year old boy who was so stoked to ride with Santa, who was played by Gary Young at the time. Everyone here at Sunday would like to wish you a merry Christmas and happy holiday!

John Garcia First Day video!

French Sunday rider, John Garcia, took his new Forecaster frame out for it’s first ride at Biaritz skatepark and came up with this video.  I’d say he adjusted to his new frame rather easily.  Thank to John and Frenchys for sending me the video!

Check out a close up of his bike HERE.

2010 refresher:
Lee Dennis in ATX

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.

Pennsylvania Trail Tour

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!

Sunday Ad:
Garrett Reeves

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

Sneak Peek:
Conductor

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!
