Kurt sent me these pics of his friends and himself on a trip to Ride Vegas a few weeks ago. Most of their time was spent searching high and low for new pools to ride. The pool in the picture is pretty cool. I almost seems like a normal rectangle pool, but the back wall is actually angled giving the pool a super tight under 90° corner.

Karl Poyner got 14th at the JOMO Pro in Joplin, Missouri this weekend and ended up getting a nice photo on BMXONLINE. There is also some clips of him during the best trick contest which coincidently is also on Bmxonline.

Ian Schwartz has been figting with a broken wrist for the better part of a year now. He had a cast on for a few months last summer, but it didn’t work. He was suppose to get surgery this month, but decided to put it off until the fall. Summer is almost here and I don’t blame him for wanting to miss it. This picture shows Ian with a non-wrist related injury which was taken during the Padded Cell trip last September!

One of BMX’s favorite bands, Lucero, played the Mohawk Place in Buffalo last night. It was a much anticipated show around here and they didn’t disappoint one bit! From the moment the show started you could tell it was going to be good. They were energetic, dynamic, creative and adaptive. If you ever get a chance to see them live you won’t want to miss it. They are one of the best live bands I have ever seen. Plus you might just get to see two girls making out in the front row like in the right photo below. My phone takes poor photos!

Ben, a Buffalo Bills hat and the girl with the weird tattoo is making out with another girl.

Recently I was searching for the best jet lag a person could have, so I decided going to Taiwan would give me it. While I was there, I stopped by the Sunday Bikes factory, got pulled around on a scooter and ate some very different food that I am not use to. Enjoy the photos!

Taipei on my last day and scooter races at night!

Sunday frames being made and rockin with McDonald’s!

Road between some rice paddys and pidgeon as dinner!

This bank was a mile long and the only BMX shop in Taiwan. These guys took me around and showed me a whole bunch of good spots!

Four on a scooter and a self portrait!

World’s tallest building in Taipei, the 101. This Buddha brings really good luck! Lastly, my bike in front of a rice paddy.
