We just received the August 2011 issue of Ride BMX in our office today and the team is well represented in the issue. First, Alex Magallan has the table of contents at a spot only he would see. Gary Young blasts a sick table out of a pool in the Odyssey ad and then he does an over toothpick on the subscription page. The team metalhead, Jake Seeley, talks about his love of metal in the Diversions section. As always the team shreds and if you look close enough then you’ll see a sneak peek of one of the 2012 complete bikes in the magazine as well.

Jake Seeley riding sunglasses?
This photo is just too good not to show. Here Jake Seeley becomes the third rider to finish the Gauntlet of Death at Texas Toast over the weekend. There were so many fun and weird obstacles including a giant pair of Oakley Frogskins and this huge Vans slip on. Thanks again to Jeff Z and Ride BMX for this photo.
Jake Seeley teaches…
The guys over at Ride BMX just put up a Jake Seeley Luc-e grind 180 how to video. Jake’s been doing these forever, so he’s a good one to teach it. Good luck!
Magallan’s bike check on Ride
Alex Magallan has his Forecaster bike check up on Ride BMX today. Go check it out HERE. If you’re wondering about the stem, it’s called the Sunday Freeze OEM stem which some of the team guys are testing now. This one is for our completes, but we are working on an aftermarket stem which could be available sometime late in the year.
Alex did the rail ride of death HERE.
Garrett Reeves How to!
Garrett Reeves teaches you how to 180 nose bonk a wall over on the Ride BMX website. This is a great way to learn this trick before you take it down stairs or make the 180 into a 360 instead. There’s lots more coming from Garrett so get ready.
Check out Garrett 360 nose bonk the wall at the Etnies park in the LAX to ATX video.

Sunday Ad:
Garrett Reeves
Garrett Reeves is featured in our newest ad doing this high speed street gap to wallride. Actually, this is Garrett’s first Sunday ad! I’m a big fan of having your first ad be a banger and this one is no exception. This is featured in January/February 2011 issue of Ride BMX. In other Garrett news, he’s currently enjoying the beautiful weather of Long Beach, CA because he’s now a resident there. He just moved there early this month. Congratulations Garrett on your first ad and the move out to California! Photo Jeff Z

Gary Young cruising the X-Games Course!
Ride BMX just posted some footage of Gary Young cruising around the new X-Games course! Place looks insane especially since it’s concrete, built on Styrofoam and only up for about 2 weeks. For a live video feed of the X-Games park course check out this link.
