“FUSE is stoked to welcome Isaac Lesser to the team through SNAP Distribution. Hailing from Brighton in the UK, Isaac Lesser is a powerhouse on a bike and can rip apart (or build) anything put in front of him. Building skateparks for a living, there is nothing that Isaac can’t ride the hell out of.

Props BMX – Garrett Reynolds Bio

January 5, 2017

Props dropped a classic online today for your viewing pleasure! The year was 2010, Garrett Reynolds was riding for Premium, him and JJ Palmere were rocking zebra print from time to time, Garrett had some long hair and was absolutely CRUSHING it out on the streets (shocker, we know). This originally appeared in Issue 75 and it’s crazy to think that this video came out way back in 2010 and how insanely good it still is in 2017. Banger after banger after banger. This is an absolute must see for everyone!

Also, Props uploaded a 2nd video filled with B-Roll, Crashes and more that you haven’t seen yet! Watch that below!

“What can you say about Garrett Reynolds except that he absolutely kills it. This Bio from Props Issue 75 shows Garrett at his best.”

“
A re-edit of our Issue 75 Garrett Reynolds Bio that includes some clips and angles that didn’t make the cut first time around. We also threw in a few crashes and some harsh attempts just to show Garrett put in the hard work needed to make an unforgettable part.”

“Janis made a quick trip to our neighbour country of Estonia and filmed this video. Valga is a small town right next to the Latvia/Estonia border and they’ve just renovated this skatepark for Winter 2017. Janis layed down some signature style on that fresh plywood.
