Ever travel to Cleveland to ride your bicycle in a 75 year old parachute factory and meet a 45 year young lady how jumps horses for a living and the RedBull box at Ray’s for fun… and she’s only been riding 2 years? I did… 
when trials riders attack…. 
Ray’s V.I.P. area is STQS…. strong to quite strong
George Ryan… foot jams, so hot right now.
Hans is always smiling… & very much a Legend in MTB.Legends for sure… Toledo Joe, Aaron Chase & Adam Hauck.
Edwin DelaRosa and family came in… how long until she’s barspinnin’ that thing???
Big tuck’s the gap at Ray’s.
Welcome to the Bigelow  show…. Ruben at height.
question 1. If the height of pipe “X” = 9′ and the height of ramp “Y”= 2′ then X+Y= Boy’s got Pop
Hauck downside footplants the vert wall after handplanting the the step-up. 

Adam Hauck/5d Mark II test footage from Thrashbike.com on Vimeo.

What up yo? Just got some footage from Nick Brandreth over at Thrashbike.com…. he’s been feeling out his new Canon 5D mark II and yeah, I’m jealous! Check the clip… I see good things coming your way.

I want to ride this Tony…
Not sure if that’s a nose bonk to 180 but I think so…

I’m so stoked!!! I’ve been invited to attend Ray’s Legends along with real MTB Legend’s Jeff Lenosky, Aaron Chase, Hans Rey & Kyle Ebbet. Adam and I are poachin’ that event event for sure. Come out and ride with us if you’re in the Cleveland area!!!! Can’t wait to shred the new stuff.

Footie in Fullerton…
Fakie in San Clemente…
old dog… new trick, this move is the devil!!!

How did you spend your day of rest??? I hit the local parks testing our new prototype fork… more to come on that soon. Thanks to my room mate Dustin for clicking the pics today.

Booyaa!!!

what?
This is part 2 of Cory’s crazy ass transfer line.
Euro transfer…

Last week, Fernando Sabat and I met up with Cory Nastasio at Camp Woodward for the day… and I needed it. I hadn’t done a flip in 6 months and with the season coming up soon it’s time to dust off the trick list. Cory started the day with a perfect 3 flip on the resi first drop in… maniac!!!

 Tom McCormack takes time from off the City Of Orange Public Works to do some damage in Fontucky.
It’s hard work making these guys look so bad… another Riot mounted Orange local leads the way to the finish.
The Orange “Y” locals were working fools all day long… Kyle pulling.

Welcome back Dave……
Dave Langford dives into turn 2 all NASCAR…

Fontana’s pro podium.
I made it home from Taiwan by 10 AM on Saturday and headed directly to Fontana to watch the 4x races… I really considered racing but after 14+ hours on a plane and a ridiculous Sake/whiskey induced hangover the day before I decided to just snap some pics instead of gates.

Longtime friend and badass on the track, Dave Langford has once again returned to racing and has already stepped right back into the thick of things like I knew he would. Dave wasted the first 2 rounds of pros in only is 2nd race back and ended up on the 2nd podium step at the end of the day.

The CalTime from the Orange “Y” BMX track were once again out in force taking numerous podium spots showing they’re getting into the 26″ flow of things. Hopefully 4x will boom in the US like it has in the UK… so much more fun than the typical BMX track. Go race…

just a sample of Nick’s work in print…

April’s Decline on newstands somewhere now…
I just opened up the new April issue of Decline and Scott Hart had told me I would be stoked but… how stoked??? I was pretty much jumping up and down when I flipped through it. To say we got some coverage is a understatement. Nick Brandreth’s photos from the “Replacement Jam” were awesome and a huge boost to the lack of decent photos in magazines lately. It gets a bit old seeing the same photo of a guy going fast between the tape or another gay MB (you know the last letter) XC bike test… not that I don’t appreciate it at times, but it’s been done. 

NYC bitch….
Redding, Ca.
Phillip from Germany is stoked on his Riot build… nice job.

Matt from WideOpen in New Zealand announced that their first shipment of 2009 BlkMrkt products arrived yesterday. Matt’s guys are ready to roll, so if you’re down that way… you know where to go.
