Adam Buried Alive… Details at 11

Well, kind of.
 As you all know, Adam calls New Jersey home. And, as you may or may not know the East Coast is currently getting pounded by snow storm after snow storm. And Adam’s house and the “Back Gnar” are currently under about 25″ of new snow with some drifts reaching the 7-8′ mark… good times.
Check the pics Adam sent.
 The 6 AM walk to work.

 Adam’s GTI is sitting behind that door waiting for a better day.
Looks like it’s time for skis…
 I don’t think it’s gonna start…
Adam and his new toy… hopefully this turns into an 8′ Ice Quarter.
Can’t say I miss this at all.

Snow Day In the Netherlands with Martin Knorr

This edit is all about what riding bikes is all about: having a great time and hanging out with friends! If you want to see sick riding action than this video is not what you’re searching for… I tried my best to get the good and fun atmosphere of this day into the video. It was a great day, we had a lot of fun, and that’s what riding bikes is all about!!
Enjoy…. Martin

Pics from the past…

The other day Ben Tobin sent me this pic of Jim Tharp killin’ a simple wall ride set up outside the Motel 6 we stayed at in Austin during our Pita Beggo roadtrip that was featured in this year’s Don Hampton film, “Here We Go Again”.
Ben got me thinking about how many good pics there were from that trip and I wanted to share a few…

Yannick Granieri Dakine Edit

I had the pleasure of meeting Yannick at Crankworx Colorado this year, and he is one of the coolest, greatest riders I’ve met. He blew up on the scene and showed everyone how to throw down and still be totally positive. Dakine made an edit of him at his local French secret spot, and it does not disappoint! Enjoy!

Adam Hauck Interview from the Rise

TR exclusive: the Adam Hauck interview

The first time I met Adam was a couple years back at a contest at UAB and he was simply too good. We went on a little roadtrip with Adam and Nick@thrashbike last spring and they are really good people. Adam recently dropped an excellent webedit so I thought it would be the right time for a little interview to see what he’s up to. Hit the read more link for more!
