Through The Lens: Freedom of Speech with Jamie Bestwick
I have to be honest with you here, there are times when I sit around and think for hours, days and sometimes a full week until an idea for a new column pops into my head. Week after week I have been searching for ways to keep things fresh and ways to keep people interested. I simply try to give a reason to check back every Wednesday to see what the new TTL will be about. For those that don’t know, I have officially started my East Coast summer at Woodward and for this week’s column I am very stoked to present an interview with vert legend Jamie Bestwick. Jamie is arguably the best vert rider on the planet and although he doesn’t like to admit that, I doubt there are any riders out there that would argue that fact. He is the type of rider that has an incredible drive to be the best at what he does. He has had a wild journey in BMX so far and has set the bar to an almost unreachable height. Jamie has won eight X Games gold medals in a row and shows zero signs of slowing down anytime soon. He is at the peak of his career and somehow remains level headed, modest and as down to earth as it gets. We recently spent some time hanging out on a quiet afternoon in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania and while we were hanging out I fired some questions his way, and this was the result. Enjoy.
Ashley Charles Bike Check
It looks like Ashley Charles is now getting the hook up from Mutiny Bikes. No word if it’s an actual sponsor deal or just a hook up… But I do know this Rune build is dialed as hell! Check out another riding photo that Wes McGrath shot here.

Demolition just posted up a new print ad they did with German mail-order Parano Garage. This can be found in the new issue of BMX Rider.
Colony – Shuhei Max Azuma Edit
Shuhei Max Azuma has been going wild over in Japan lately. Here’s his latest edit that’s jam packed with nose balance for Colony. Definitely stoked on what Japan has been pumping out lately!
