Randomness update!

Last time I updated, I was enjoying Berlin’s riding spots by day and pasta by night. I’m a huge tourist and history buff, so here is a few ‘sights’ that I saw while in Germany. This is Neptune’s fountain right by the TV Tower, if I’ve ever had a favorite fountain this would be it. Here is a close up of Neptune. Oh and this is really cool too!

Little short on space so here is my abbreviated tour of Berlin: Berlin Wall marker path, Berlin Wall itself, the Brandenburg Gate, Bebel Platz, the Spree River, the Reichstag and a new modern art gallery that wasn’t even in my guide book. All in all Berlin is an amazing city that really caught me by surprise, I can’t wait to go back. If you want some stickers tell me the importance of most of these places, send your replies here.

Now to the random team stuff, Lee Dennis sent me this photo of his bike with prespun brake cable. Christian Ziegler did this to his wheel on a e-brake gap gone wrong. Karl Poynter is on The Come Up trip. Mike Hoder has a freecoaster and is healthy again, but Mike Taylor still isn’t, getting close though. Kurt Rasmusson is riding in the 909! Ian Schwartz is working on his frame graphics which will be available early next spring. Vinnie Sammon is testing some new bars. Joe Cox is Mr. Popular because so many people have been looking for his email lately. Look for a products update tomorrow!

Team News!

Mike Taylor has been recovering from knee surgery and doing physical therapy. This is his x-ray which he shot with his camera phone. According to the doctor Mike will be back on his bike in 4 months. In the meantime, Mike needs your help. Go to the DCEurope site and vote for the Mike and the UK team!

Ian Schwartz and Steven Savage have been in California filming for the Sunday video expected late this fall or early winter. They’ve been in LA and San Diego for most of the trip. In other Ian news look for his frame sometime around when the video comes out.

Vinnie Sammon
has been sick in New Jersey. I was out in NYC and didn’t even get a chance to see him because of it. His long awaited Skavenger video came out so look for that! Also, we’re potentially working on a Vinnie Bar, but we’re still figuring it out.

Karl Poynter was sweating and riding in Tallahassee, Florida last time I spoke with him. And Mike Hoder has been riding again after recovering from the 40 something stitches he received from a broken window a month ago. Hopefully all will be well with him

Kurt Rasmusson has a video top 5’s on BMXOnline. Stop by to see who and what made his cut.

Berlin plus more!

Well my world tour continues! Made it to Berlin after a really fun weekend in NYC. This photo is from the balcony of the place we are staying at and is the only place that we can poach internet from. My goal for the trip is to do a wall ride on the Berlin Wall or atleast what’s left of it. I’ll put the photo up hopefully later. Check out this view at night!

Joe Cox has been everywhere lately! Check out all his bike check, interview and how to on the Bmxonline site! Or just check some of the previous posts to see them. I know some of you were wondering about the follow up to his Voices video entitled Tomorrow We Work, it still being filmed and hopefully due out in late fall!

Long layover in NYC!

Well I was on my way to the Rebel Jam when my plane to Berlin decided to leave without me. Stuck in NYC, I called my old roommate, Dave for a place to stay. This was on Wednesday and I changed my flight to Berlin for Sunday. I’ve forgotten how New York can be so much fun from riding the subways, walking 40 blocks and seeing some of the craziest people ever.

First, all my friends from Buffalo are coming to town for the Back to the Banks Jam on Saturday, so it is like a reunion especially with all the ex patriots from Buffalo already here. I met them at the airport when I went back to pick up my bags. Check out who was waiting for their bags. One even left something behind!

To make a long story short, in one day I saw a skate video premiere, listened to the Beastie Boys play an outdoor live show in Green Point, meet Dustin Dollin, went to the Double Down NYC and saw so many good spots that I am definitely coming back. Hopefully the rain will stop today so I can meet up with Vinnie Sammon and do some riding!

Joe Cox How-To!

Real quick update to tell you Joe Cox has a Luc-E to 270 How-To on BMXOnline. They filmed it while on the Micreation trip here at the Sunday Warehouse. Go here to check it out.

Sunday Warehouse!


There is a Sunday Warehouse Spot Check on BMXOnline. Stop by and check it out to see what we ride on the late nights and through the winter.

Mini mega update!

Sorry nothing mega about this update, I was just in California and there was so much Mega Ramp hoopla that everything I talk about now is described with the term mega! I wasn’t in Cali for the X Games rather I was filming my intro for the upcoming Odyssey video. Missed most of the X Games, I did see Mat Hoffman, the originator of the mega ramp, go huge on the ramp. Also, went to the Owen Wilson rail and had my luggage lost on the way home! Hopefully my bike shows up today, so I have it for Rebel Jam this weekend!

Joe Cox Interview!

Joe now has an Interview to go along with his Bike Check over at BMXOnline. It’s pretty good. Plus you can find out about Ralph Sinisi and Tom White. The interview can be seen here.

Stephen Savage bike photos!


Stephen Savage is our Sunday rider from South Africa. He was here a few weeks ago and returned again for a 10 days visit. So far at the ‘Fridge’ he has gotten 4 staples with 3 stitches, broke a chain and received a swelbow and shot one of the best photos in the warehouse yet. Here are a few photos of his bike as well as a poor digital photo of a brakeless fufanu on the bank to sub in the ‘Fridge’.
