A very short time ago Todd Meyn suffered a broken sternum that was 1cm away from being fatal. If you think that has scared him into mellowing out, you are wrong! Todd goes 100% at Woodward West and doesn’t look like he was off of his bike at all.
Leigh Ramsdell Leaves Eastern Bikes
Eastern Bikes: Leigh Ramsdell Farewell Video from Leigh Ramsdell on Vimeo.
Even with all of the shake ups at Eastern lately, I never once considered that Leigh Ramsdell would be leaving. Leigh has been the corner stone of Eastern’s program for a long time and the fact that he is moving on is a huge deal. Enjoy his farewell edit and read Eastern’s statement below:
“Leigh Ramsdell and Eastern Bikes are parting ways. Both parties are on the same page and friendships remain intact. Leigh has been with Eastern Bikes since 2000 and has had two signature frames, The Ace of Spades and The Night Prowler as will as signature complete bikes, The Ace of Spades and The Ramrodder. He made the transition from Professional rider to Team Manager then finally Media Coordinator. We are sad to see him go, and wish him the best of luck and what ever wacky adventures he gets into. And when we see a wishbone or an archway we will think of his bowed legs. Thanks Leigh! Here is a video from select footage over the years at Eastern. And of course it has to be to Motorhead.”
Brandon Webster Interview

It’s crazy how many damn good riders are coming out of Canada lately. Not to say that hasn’t happened in the past, but it just seems like there’s been a whole new round of guys that have been on fire lately. One of those guys would be Brandon Webster who has been lighting up the internet with video after video of him just crushing spots from Joyride 150 to Austin, Texas.
It’s no surprise he recently found bumped up to a spot on the Hoffman Bikes pro team, so we figured it would be a real good time to get to know just who this kid from Canada is since I can imagine we’ll be seeing plenty more of him in the future! Check out what he had to say!
Name: Brandon Webster

Shadow Conspiracy – Simone Barraco’s Ecuador Adventure Edit
It’s a bummer that Seth Kimbrough didn’t make it out on this trip to Ecuador, but it looks like Simone Barraco and Ryan Chadwick held their own. Take a look at the riding that Simone got in along with the surprising big BMX scene down there in this new video from The Shadow Conspiracy
“After a freak accident sidelined Seth Kimbrough the day before his flight, it was up to Simone Barraco and TM Ryan Chadwick to make the most of Quito, Ecuador on their own. Battling altitude sickness, highly unpredictable weather, and a travel schedule that would wear anyone out, the crew powered through and came away with this brand new Shadow edit.
A huge thanks go out to all the Ecuador locals, Marco and his family from Zona Extrema, Fernando De La Torre and Carolina Donoso, and the Ministerio del Deporte!
