Words from Ian Schwartz,

About 6 months ago I reached a point with riding that it just didn’t feel the same as it used to. Although its been a dream come true and I would never trade any of it, I’m certain it’s time for me to move on.

I was raised on a family farm and enjoyed it as a kid, but lost interest as I grew older and found other things. Well a couple years back I started to find enjoyment in the goings on of it again and began to read and learn about it. I’ve been able to meet and work with many area farmers and found an entire world of ideas and opportunities to explore. My family has allowed me to lease a small 17 acre field on our farm and I’ve begun implementing my ideas for responsible, respectful and productive food growing. I hope to grow (but not too big), either on our farm or on my own somewhere else in or around my hometown of Lancaster, Ohio.

I still love riding, and will continue to ride, just not in the same way as I have for the past 4 or 5 years. I appreciate the kids that have had nice things to say online and in-person, and I’ve had an awesome time with the guys on the team.

Take care,

Ian

This is definitely a sad day for Sunday and BMX.  Although we fully support Ian’s decision, it’s tough to know that one of the most creative and unique guys in BMX is moving on to different challenges.  I’ve always appreciate his take on riding, it’s always been smooth, effortless, creative and it felt good.  The thing I always got from his riding was that a trick looked good from beginning to end.  The whole thing seemed like it looked effortless not just the trick itself.  I’ve been lucky enough to have ridden with him so much over the past 5 years.  He’s definitely been a great influence on my riding.  Ian, you’ll be missed here at Sunday and good luck to you!

Here’s another edit from Alex Magallan that I’m sure you guys would be psyched on. It’s edited by Alex and Mark Gourley w/filming by Alejandro Javier Bardo. All the riding was filmed in only 2 days and all done within city limits! Roofgaps, full-cabs, manual lines and all out righteous riding make up this quick edit.

Alex Magallan kills it on any terrain. He has a unique view and can come up with things to do when everyone else has already loaded there bikes up in the car. Above is his Duffs skatepark edit. So good!

Mike Mastroni put together this video of Garrett Reeves. It’s apparently just ‘scrap’ footage but he sure has everyone fooled. This edit has some really great clips in it!

I’ve been visiting the factories we use in Taiwan for a few days now and the trip has been good.  Here’s a spy shot of the Wave downtube and headtube from our complete bike frames.  We checked out the factory and it looked amazing.  Even got to see the complete Model C frames being welded up.  Also, we visited the aftermarket frame factory which is working on the new Wave 3, Funday 2 and some potential other ideas.  I’ll write up a more detailed story when I get back into the USA.  Going to leave you with one note, I realized on this trip that all hollow dropouts are not equal.  Just because it’s hollow doesn’t mean it’s the same as a Sunday hollow dropout.

We almost forgot about these. Here’s a series of lifestyle and behind the scene photos from our Swine Flu Tour. In this gallery, you will find pics of Jeff Zielenski, Alex Magallan, Eric Lichtenberger, Jake Seeley, Tom Arkus, Mike Gonzalez and Cam’s dog!

Our Czech Republic rider David Benda absolutely destroys this skatepark!  So good!  Nollie to no hander!

UPDATE: 2nd Waves are all gone!!!

Here’s an amazing Jake Seeley edit from Manmade on Vimeo.  Tom Arkus hit me up with this link and he said it was from back in the day, but it seems relevant today.  It’s so good!
