BSD/Dig edit. Summer Roadtrip 08 from BSD on Vimeo.

This is Mike Taylor and his buddy Nails who we give parts too. Its actually from a BSD trip they went on. You’ll have to make it through a bunch of skatepark footage to see the guys riding, so hold tight.

This the best, I love seeing this stuff! Skier J sent me the first one and the second one was right at the front door of Interbike! More updates later this week when I’m not riding the Bruiser!

Congratulations to Aaron Ross for getting the bronze in street at last weekends X-Games in Mexico. Check out the video to see the highlights and Aaron’s excitement when he does the smith to whip. I guess he battled a bunch of flat tires during the contest, but I couldn’t really tell it from the video. More when I talk with him later!

Jim Cielencki Top 5 on Defgrip

Go over to Defgrip and check out my Top 5’s! In my opinion, its almost ‘unpossible’ to have only 5 Top 5 Simpson quotes! There’s just way too many to only have 5!

Rasmusson Ranch from Lotek on Vimeo.

This is Kurt Rasmusson’s home video. If you don’t know Kurt then you don’t know that he works his ass off making kitchen cabinets with his dad. He does this full time and I’m not exactly sure how he is able to be so dialed on a bike while working that much. Most people as dialed don’t work nearly as much or at all.

Karl Poynter

Sunday has gone black! Here is a photo of Karl Poynter’s new set up. He’s been riding the same blue prototype set up for quite awhile, so we got him one of the Black Magic frames to try something different.

The funny thing is Sunday went from all wild colors to now all black. On the UK trip we just finished up, everyone was riding a black frame except for Aaron Ross’s Funday frame. Thought it was ironic, but its real good to know that we can change it up and the product is still the same. Look for Karl Poynter colorway soon!

Mike Taylor Grinding up a rail.

Well, we are on the final leg of the trip and we ended up in Portsmouth. After a night of playing pool against Nottingham’s finest ladies, we woke up to the raindrops as seen in the photo. Which leaves me time to bring you this update of our trip. As you know it is raining, but you don’t know is we are right across the street from the Law Court tranny walls. Damn! Oh well, there is a chance that it will stop raining by 1pm. Either way we have a back up plan which involves riding in tunnels or under a bridge.

Aaron Ross, Ian Schwartz, Joe Cox, Chris Russell and Mike Taylor along with myself are over in the UK right now doing a trip for IMG and filming for the Sunday video while dodging rain drops. Look for video clips from Filmer Bill in the video and photos in an upcoming RideUK article. Here are a collection of photos from the trip so far. We end it tomorrow and I’ll post some more then!

Kurt Rasmusson has a Firsts over on BMXonline, so go there and check it out. The main photo shot during a trip to Barcelona, isn’t just a Ruben wallride, its like a 270 to Ruben off the wedge on the right. It didn’t seem like you could make it far enough to do the trick safely, but if you know Kurt then you know he did it first try. And this photo was taken just moments after trying chocolate cake mixed in salsa. Good times! On a side note, there was a nude beach right behind us as Jeff Z shot the photo.

The first photo is from Alex Magallan‘s bike check on BMXonline. Alex has been helping test out the Funday frame. The next photo is from Odyssey’s Dailyword, this is Aaron Ross‘s race bike all built up and ready to take people out in a corner. Is there a Sunday Race frame coming? A trail frame atleast? Anyone as excited as I am to watch BMX in the Olympics tonight? Look for the Funday frame coming late fall!
