I’ve been a fan of Ben’s riding for a few years now, and I figured with his new Props Bio about to drop, it would be a good time to catch up. Ben mentioned he was building up a new bike, so we decided to do a quick bike check along with a bunch of questions and riding photos to go with it. Take a look at what Ben is riding these days, what’s new in his life, some riding photos and videos, then leave him some love in the comments!

Gabe’s name started popping up a few months back when Kink started hooking him up. I really didn’t know much about the guy until I started seeing more and more stuff popping up that he was involved with. After talking with Jay, we decided it would be a real good time to find out a little bit more about this new force coming from L.A. I’d imagine this is just the start and you will be seeing way more from him in the future. Check out what he has to say…

Connor Lodes Bike Check

May 10, 2011

Connor Lodes BMX

Connor Lodes is another one of those dudes who has been blowing up the last year or so. There’s been a bunch of real good things being said about his clips in the new Demolition “Last Chance” video, and I’m not surprised since the footage that has hit the web from him lately has been real good. It sounds like he’s got some fresh sponsor stuff in the works too, so expect to see even more of him this year. I shot Connor a few questions to see what he is riding these days, a few extra questions to see what’s new, some real good photos from Brandon Means and some of the recent edits he was in. Don’t forget to leave him some love in the comments!

Tom Blyth Interview

Tom Blyth is one of those guys who, prior to this interview, I didn’t know much about or what to expect when I sent over questions. I know he kills it on a bike and that he is into music. I also know that being on FBM means it’s required that you need to know how to have a good time. That was really about it. Coming out of the interview I’ve come to find out a whole lot more about the guy that surprised me and that he’s a lot more than what you might expect by looking at him and his riding. Take a look at what he had to say, a bunch of photos from Steven Crandall and Joe Cox, and some of Tom’s past edits, then leave him some love in the comments! This one turned out awesome…

Industry: Cooper Brownlee

May 6, 2011

Cooper Brownlee BMX

One of Australia’s hardest working guys in BMX, Cooper Brownlee, was on my need to interview list about his career path in the industry. Cooper is known for being Clint Millar’s right hand man when it comes to Colony and his personal project, Focalpoint. Cooper’s photo and design work has been seen all over, and that’s just part of what he finds himself getting into on the daily. I shot him a bunch of questions to find out a little bit more about his career. Take a look at what he had to say, some real good riding photos and past videos, then leave him some love in the comments!

Video: Logan Reynolds – This Is The Spot

May 4, 2011

Logan Reynolds

Logan Reynolds is a recognizable name around the midwest scene from edits to the WisBMX website back in the day. He’s one of the many real good dudes apart of the Milwaukee crew that has been just killing it the last few years in all aspects of BMX. About two years ago, Logan started working on a video project featuring the likes of Jeff Dowhen, Jeff Klugiewicz, Jon Wells, Grant Castelluzzo, Mikey Luplow, Reed and Kyle Stark, Dan Kruk and more. The video had its ups and downs in the making, but it’s finally done and premiering this Saturday at 4Seasons. I figured it would be a real good time to get ahold of Logan and talk a little bit about the making of what’s looking to be a hell of a video. Check out what he had to say, a few screengrabs and photos, along with the trailer and Jeff Dowhen’s scraps edit from the video.

Louis is Fit‘s French Canadian connect through 1664 distribution. Over the course of the last year or so, he has had numerous edits pop up, and his style has got the attention of a lot of people. I figured he would make for an interesting guy to find out a little bit more about, so I got him some questions and this is what he had to say. Also, check out a couple real good photos by Richard Desaulniers Jr. and some of Louis’ past edits and then leave him some love in the comments!

Jerry has been one of those recognizable names coming from Australia the past few years. Recently, I found out his signature line from Tempered was coming through and close to release after a few years of being in the works. I figured it would be a real good time to get ahold of Jerry and find out more about him and his signature line. Take a look at what he had to say, some real good photos and some past edits, then leave him some love in the comments!
