BMXonline has a little interview with me about making video sections. The photo was shot by Jeff Z about a year and a half ago. I had been really interested in doing whips, barspins and 360 fakies on the steepest banks possible. I had already did a barspin on it awhile back, but I wanted to whip it. This whip in LA ended up being the steepest I’ve done.
A behind the scenes story from this night include the sprinklers turning on right as we finished setting up. It was disappointing because I had worked myself up to see if it was possible and now with the water in the way it was going to be very difficult to do. Mike Hoder ended up using his hoodie to clean up the water and try and make a dam, but it only worked for so long. You can the watermarks on the lower part of the bank and Mike’s hoodie in the background to the right. This is one of my favorite spots in LA even though the banks are really slippery.
Lil’ Tammy’s been getting flow from Sunday for a few months now. Every time I see footage of him which is all the time, it blows me away. Swear he’s just making it up as he goes. What is suppose to be difficult to everyone else is casual to him. Either way to see some rad footage watch the video above!

Mods: Cut my bars down a little, and I use a device which allows me to have my seat up a bit, it helps with letting go on the barspin.
Yep, our Sunday Second Wave 20″ prototype arrived at the office today! I know there are a few of you out there that have been looking for these. Sorry its taking so long, but we had to make a special tube set just for this frame. Thanks for being patient, it will be available soon.
In late May and early June, Aaron Ross, Jake Seeley, Ian Schwartz, Kurt Rasmusson and myself were down in Guadalajara Mexico riding, filming and eating sno-cones! We had a street jam at this amazing spot and you can see the video that Chad Shackelford made of the jam by clicking on the photo to the left!
Jake Seeley just built up a 20.75 Black Magic Second Wave shaved headtube PROTOTYPE. He’s helping me test out the new batch of samples that we just received. My bike also has one if you didn’t notice then just scroll down a few posts and check it out. Our original samples from Interbike never had the properly machined headtubes. Once the proper ones were figured out, it was time to make prototypes again. Enjoy Jake’s bike!
Aaron Ross just built up his prototype signature frame called the Funday and here are two photos of it. His colorway this time isn’t just one bright neon color, but he decided he’d mix the yellow and red together. I like the two different color rims myself, but its too bad his front brake isn’t neon red too. What? Front brake? View More
The taller brother of the Sunday Triumph bar named the Forumph arrived in the warehouse this week! These two differ by upsweep and overall height only, Triumphs are 1 degree while Forumphs are 4 degrees. What ends up happening is the overall height goes from 8 inches to 8.32 inches just by changing the upsweep. They will be available in Black Magic and White. Look for them at your shop in the next 2 weeks!

Two new Sunday shirts will be available in the next 2 weeks! The left one is a sunday! logo repeated using black halftone dots on a teal shirt. Upclose the halftone isn’t as visible, but as you move away from the shirt sunday! starts to appear. Notice how you can’t read the logo at the bottom of the screen, but as you get to the top sunday! becomes more visible.
While the right one is our classic Word Bubble shirt with Sunday written in Spanish. This one is a discharge print on a purple heather shirt which makes the Word Bubble a minty green. All these shirts are printed on American Apparel. Look for more softgoods soon!
Here’s a bunch of Sunday’s friends with a few photos of their bikes built up. We have a few Ian Schwartz frames, some Black Magic Second Waves and even a few very colorful Wave frames! Enjoy!
The first picture is from Jason Forsyth of Elmira, NY. Next is Nate Hanlon from Riverside, CA.
Austin Agee from Albany, OR has the all white Ian Schwartz set up and Paul Kramer from New York runs the Second Wave.
Will Robinson from somewhere in Canada runs this Black Magic Second Wave and Nathan Wallace from St Louis built up this creamsicle Wave frame.
Dominque Seaborough from Atlanta rides this toothpaste Wave frame and Tyler Wright from Redmond, WA takes his creamsicle Wave frame to the beach.
Kyle Ruschell from Lexington, Kentucky!!! He will be enjoying some ice cream from Sundae! …ah…Sunday! Look for a photo of him and his giant ice cream sometime in the future. No more scouring the archives for the photos of Aaron’s frame. The 3 colors shown are samples and we are not sure which one Aaron will go with. Any thoughts?
PS Oh and Aaron’s frame has a shorter rear end, different cable guides and a lower BB than the other Sunday frames. More info later on!
