We have a lot of photos from the trips we took while filming for our Up Up and Away video and we’ll be uploading the galleries leading up to the official release! This first batch of photos are from Barcelona.

As far as current team updates go, Jake’s back home in Western Mass drinking gatorade, Ian’s in Ohio waiting out the rain, Aaron’s in Nashville on Roadfools, Alex is in Kansas doing shows, Eric and Kurt are surfing in California’s heat, Mike and Joe are waiting for spring to come, Lee is probably at Life Cycle. Keep your eyes peeled for an interview with Ian and a bike check!!!

And last but not least, we also have a new photo-viewer and pong game! You can take it with you by clicking the share button on the bottom right! If you embed the LATEST gallery, the player will automatically update to the latest gallery we have available!

That’s right you can put Ian Schwartz up as your wallpaper by simply going over to the Ride site or just following this link right HERE!  In other news, he’s been riding a bunch in Ohio when the weather permits or when he’s not working on his family’s farm.  He’s anticipating Up, Up and Away‘s release later this month!  I think you’ll like Ian’s part!

Jake Seeley just sent me photos of his latest bike set up.  He is riding a full pale yellow Ian Schwartz kit that now includes orange parts as the accent color.  The newest news from Jake is that he’s been added to the Stolen Parts team.  Look for an amazing part coming in Up, Up and Away from Jake!  Congratulations on the new sponsor!

Here’s an Ian Schwartz edit that ends up being a mini teaser for his double part section in the upcoming Sunday video entitled Up, Up and Away.  This was shot two weeks ago while dodging rain storms and snowflakes in Southern California.  Ian is currently waiting out the weather back in Ohio, but he’s learning about farming techniques from his family who has been in the business for 50 years.  Watch the video and download to your IPhone!

Ian Schwartz was recently in southern California trying to escape the rain up in San Francisco. We ended up riding Woodward West, the DVS/Lakai warehouse and some other random street spots. While there was a spare moment, he did this bike check with Jeff Z for the RideBMX site. In other Ian news, he has had enough of San Francisco and headed back to Ohio to catch the last breath of winter. Check below for a few words from him about his SF experience! Look for some Ian clips in the next few days!

Ok, so the Christmas Sunday bike check thing we’ve been doing is now turning into Sunday Friends. Christmas was awhile back, so it really didn’t make much sense to call it that any more.  Here we have 2 Fundays in both Ocean Blue and Black Magic, one Black Magic Ian Schwartz and one Warm Red Second Wave kit!  These all look sweet, in fact I will be riding the Warm Red kit next week! Can’t wait!

Here we go the last batch of Christmas Sunday bike checks.  On this update, are 3 Second Waves, 1 Pale Yellow Ian Schwartz frame kit and one Ocean Blue Funday!

It’s been a bit since I’ve been able to get another Christmas Sunday up, but here it is!  We have 2 Schwartzs, 3 Second Waves and one Funday!  The Funday has been modified by paint and sticker design.  Just don’t show your mom the sticker.

Check out this interview that Ian Schwartz did with the Guardian’s San Francisco blog.  The interview discusses the whole skateboardes vs BMX thing and Ian’s perspective on that subject.   There’s a good collection of Ian videos from around the web all collected in this interview including a MOSH one that he was really psyched on.  The interview is from earlier last summer, but I bet very few people in the BMX world have seen it.  If you didn’t know, Ian’s moved out to San Francisco for the winter and maybe longer.  Check out his latest bike check here.

Jake Seeley sent me some photos of his latest build up, a post-it note yellow Ian Schwartz with warm red Forumph bars and Morning 2.1 forks as seen at Interbike. Not sure how well Jake can roll backwards or Luc-e grind in the snow, but his Sunday parts will not rust due to the Black Magic coating under the paint! This frame is available now with the warm red coming in soon! If you’re wondering about the sticker on his downtube, it’s the shop he works at called the Garden.
