Meet Toronto Up And Comer Brandon Webster

March 28, 2013

It’s pretty obvious that the past few months Brandon Webster has been on fire. Crooked World caught up with Brandon to collect some fresh footage of him getting to work at his local park, Joyride 150, and damn did they end up with some good clips. Check it out!

“Brandon Webster is the newest 16-year-old phenom to be making waves in Canada from BMX incubator Joyride 150. Growing up with Mike Gray and Drew Bezanson, Brandon was at an obvious advantage and now repping Hoffman Bikes, Ryder Distribution/Odyssey and Pocket Change Apparel. Watch Brandon destroy Joyride’s indoor park as he nose wheelie 360’s and 540 barspin to fakie’s through the harsh white winter! Powered by poutine and Justin Browne behind the lens!” – Network A

Paying the Bills with Lino Gonzalez

March 28, 2013

I think one of the biggest misconceptions of being a “Professional BMX rider” is how much money is being made off this job. ESPN BMX caught up with Lino Gonzalez to burst your bubbles a little to let you know how things really work. I’d trust Lino’s word since he’s been around the block a time or two in his days.

Words and Photos by Ted Van Orman

Queenstown, New Zealand: FULLY ALIVE! That would be the way I would describe that wonderland. Toss the Gorge Road Dirt Park into the mix, and it almost seems too good to be true. The Gorge is a work of art; and showing no lack of effort, the locals put in some SERIOUS shovel time. They were determined to have the place “Tire Trackless” for the Roast Event.
This is a gallery of images from a few sessions on the days leading up to the Roast. It was a chore to put the bike down and shoot photos because the riding vibe was so rad. With riders from all over the world at one hell of a spot, how could it not be?

Check out all 14 photos in this new photogallery!
