Matt Gistinger-The Foot High Ledge League from Mathew Gistinger on Vimeo.
As a long time four pegger, and a fellow low ledge jibber, I’m totally into this one. Here’s what Matt had to say about the video:
“We all know that foot high ledges are the greatest obstacle on planet earth, so why not have a league of foot high ledge riders.”
Grind on my brother, grind on.
Real bummer news came across the wire today. Legendary The Flow Skatepark will be closing it’s doors very soon. The 28th of this month is the last day, so you better hurry up if you want to get a last run in on it. As you may have noticed from the image above, the day before closing is the 3rd stop of the Recon Tour.

The following story is my personal, first-hand experience during the bombing at the Boston Marathon. I keep playing the exact moments over and over again in my head. The sound of the bombs wreaking havoc on innocent people is on repeat and the images of people being loaded into ambulances one after the other is something I can’t remove from my system. This story was written just as soon as I could get my laptop into my hands. As I sit here trying to write an intro that makes sense I keep typing and then deleting, and then typing again. I can’t seem to figure out how to make it work, so just go ahead and start reading.
Mike “Hucker” Clark has been able to lead one hell of a life the past few years thanks to BMX. This video Red Bull dropped gives you a look at just how good things have been in one day. If this doesn’t make you wish you were him, I don’t know what the hell you’re aspiring to be.
“In this clip we catch up with professional BMX rider and Red Bull Roast It 2013 Best Rider winner Mike “Hucker” Clark for a day of fun in Queenstown, New Zealand. Mike takes a spin in a helicopter, rides some downhill mountain bike trails, hits a few lines at Gorge Rd Jump Park and takes a dip in the chilly waters of Lake Hayes. All in a days work for Hucker!”

If you caught Christians edit we posted up yesterday, we hinted that we will be seeing more of him in the near future. I didn’t know how soon it would be announced, but it turns out Deluxe isn’t wasting any time to announce that Christians Masur is now riding for them! Check out a few words below and expect plenty from this dude in the next few days.
“We’ve known about this dude for a long time now – Christian Masur was one of the first guys to buy one of our Deluxe frames in Germany back when we first started, and has been in touch ever since – our German distro G&S picked him up and started helping him out with product, and then the next logical step was to hook him up on the team: So yeah, welcome to the team Christian! Dude’s got natural bike handling skills for sure – he was also nominated for Freedom Magazine’s Dirt Rider Of The Year 2012. He has his Sacre Bleu bike all set – look out for Bike Check soon – and is now back in Germany and ready to shred. Look out for Christian’s Bio on this website later this week…” – Deluxe
Spotted this one over on Flat Matters. Scott Powell might have just got in on the HD camera game, but he’s been killing it on a bike forever. Check out this video of him testing out the new camera along with putting in some work on a few of his bikes. I forgot about that crazy bike he has with the cranks on the front axle like a unicycle. Take a look!
“I finally stepped into the 21st century and got an HD camera; it is an action camera so it does not have a stablizer. I decided to test it out by filming a quick edit in the same way that I would have if i was using my TRV 900. After filming some random combos and mending them together, here is what I came up with …” – Scott Powell
Spotted this over on The Merged. It looks like S&M are still catering to the guys out there who prefer to run the railed seats versus Pivotal or even the tripod posts. Above is a look at their new Shield seat that will be out soon. Rad.
