The Padded Cell UK Trip Video is finally done. I along with Ian made the trip over to ride with Mike Taylor, Joe Cox and a lot of other UK rippers. Joe not only rode on the trip, but he also filmed and edited this video. So you can watch the video on Google Video by clicking the image above or click to here to visit the RideUK site and watch it.
BMX Online put up some new Desktop Wallpapers and Karl just happens to have one of them. That is one cool rail hop. Click the image to check it out.

I flowed Ben Hucke a bike a little while ago and he went right out and did an interview and bike check with the guy’s over at BMX Online. For who ever wanted more details on the bikes click the picture above or right here to check it out.
Here is a photo of Mike Taylor’s new paint job. Mike has been known for his paint jobs, on the cover of Dig’s Issue 58 his bike is white with crackled paint all over it. There has been this thought that when the team guys have different color bikes it is because they are breaking their old frames and spray painting new frames. This is NOT true at all. Like most riders out there, the team spray paints their bikes to what color they are into. This allows us to come up with new colors for next year’s models.
Kurt Rasmusson has been moved up from the flow team to the main team. Kurt’s part in Standpoint’s Left Right sealed the deal for me. So how awesome was the rail to rail to rail and then duck under the chain? Kurt is damn good and I more stoked than ever to have him on the main team. Look for a get to know Kurt interview on here once he finishes school this week!
Vinnie Sammon has been busy lately. Not only has he had his signature colorway Sunday Wave frame come out recently, but he also resurrected Skavenger. Have your shop contact Animal to get them. Getting back to his frame, if you are waiting for mountless frames they will be here around the middle to late May, so don’t worry! Otherwise hurry because the other frames are going quickly!
Here is a photo of Jack Maddox’s Sunday! If you don’t know Jack, he had a section in Shook’s Put in Werk video and did the giant 180 at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
Mike Taylor is the coverboy on the latest issue of Dig. Also, in issue 58 you can see Mike’s Meat the Streets article. Here is a good quote about him from the Dig site, “Warrington, England’s Mike Taylor might be the easiest BMXer to interview in the history of BMX. Within a month, he delivered ten pages of bangers and prompt responses to his interview questions. (In a word, he gets it…)”
Karl Poynter’s shop,Hardcore Sportz, is having a videopremier this Friday in Newcastle, so check it out if you are in the area.
One of my favorite parks Sixth Avenue is having a contest this Friday and Saturday!
The Twilight Jam is held in my former winter residence of Athens, Georga. This 4th annual event happens during one of the biggest road bike events in Georgia, so if you go expect to see a lot of spandex. The contest should be fun and Athens is always a great time!
