Michael Vockenson Interview

March 9, 2011

The past few weeks while working on getting the new site all figured out and dialed in, I’ve been working with getting interviews and other things lined up. I worked with Mat from Tempered bikes to get working on a few things with his team. Mike Vockenson was one of those guys whose name I was familiar with from web videos and other bits. I was curios and wanted to find out more. It just so happened that he was coordinating a welcome edit for his new sponsor Almond and his brand new Tempered edit that’s premiering with the interview above. Check out what Michael had to say, some really good photos by Adrian Duffy, the new edit and then leave him some love in the comments!

Zac Miner Interview

February 10, 2011

Zac Miner

Maybe it’s just me getting excited about the Colony video, or because it’s currently -13 degrees out and Australia is warm, but I’ve been psyched on finding more about some of the Australian guys. Zac Miner is up to bat next and this dude is wild. Zac kills it on a bike and knows how to take some money from a casino. Hell, he even marries seriously hot girls that he just met. Zac has been busy filming for a few projects, working on a signature frame, and traveling quite a bit so I figured he was ready for some questions. Check out what he has to say and some real good photos from Cooper Brownlee, and then leave him some love in the comments!

Mick Bayzand Interview

February 7, 2011

Mick Bayzand

Mick Bayzand is one of the regular names popping up around the Australian scene the past few years from the Colony team. I figured with Mick’s 2nd signature Colony Teddy X Strictly collaboration in the works, recovering from a pretty wild injury, and filming at full speed for the Colony video that it was a good time for some questions. Mick came through with some real solid answers in the process of all of this. So, check out some photos and videos, then leave him some love in the comments!

Product Talk: Potoczny Deluxe Frame

January 6, 2011

Deluxe Mark Potoczny BMX

Mark Potoczny is a rad dude. There’s plenty of good times that I’ve had because of him and his brother, and I’m sure a lot of other people can say the same. When I found out he was working on a signature frame from Deluxe, I hit up Mark to see if he would be into talking a little bit about the frame and the process for creating his first signature frame with Deluxe. Check out what he had to say along with some photos that I shot during the Welcome Jam this past summer, then let him know what you think in the comments!

Well, 2010 is over and 2011 is already underway. Starting the year off right with a fresh new interview for you. A week or so ago I was talking to Mark Noble about what has been going on with Deluxe these days and he mentioned that he was working on a new frame with Max. I’ll admit that I don’t know a lot about the scene in France, so I figured that it was a perfect excuse to ask Max some questions and find out more about him. It turns out Max had quite a bit to say and I did my best to clean up his english a little bit. Check out what he had to say, along with some real good photos and a few edits. We’re off to a good start for 2011…

Mike King is one of those guys who has talent in front and behind a camera. This past year he has caught my attention time and time again with his edits and riding. I highly doubt you haven’t seen one of his edits if you keep up with the daily videos that pop up. I figured after the edit that dropped the other day that it was time for me to get ahold of Mike and ask him a few questions. Check out what Mike has to say, some photos and a bunch of his edits. Don’t forget to leave some love in the comments too!

Alex Vazquez is a name that has been popping up more and more. You can probably remember him as the dude doing the crazy one-hand manuals, or mullet mohawk guy. Maybe you remember him as the newest recruit to the Sputnic team. Regardless, if you are reading this, you have probably heard of or saw something that he was involved in lately. I figured it would be a good time to get him some questions to find out a bit more about him, which just so happened to come the same day as his new banger of an edit for his welcome to Sputnic. So check out what he has to say, some interesting photos and recent edits. Don’t forget to leave him some love in the comments, too!

Jono Hopping Interview

November 27, 2010

Pretty much everyday, I start my day out surfing through a good amount of videos, news, and what not to post on DIG. There’s a lot of names that are pretty frequent, and from time to time there’s a new name that can shred a bike that impresses me. I came across Jono’s Etnies welcome edit and one of the first things was him blasting a flair to the ceiling and then crashing to the flat bottom where he looked dead. Needless to say it got my attention, and as the edit continued on, I decided I’d see if he wanted to answer a few questions for my curiosity. Clearly, he was down and now you have this. Check out what Jonathon has to say, some photos and videos, then leave him some love in the comments!
