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.

Dude Bird – Don’t Look At Me!
After a short hiatus, it would appear the Dude Bird series continues. As always, they’ve got a song that’s a little out there, some real good riding and some bonus clips that’ll leave you wondering “what the hell am I watching?”. With that being said, it’s entertaining so hit that play button!
“Don’t look at me, you hear me!? DON’T YOU LOOK AT ME! I’m serious, you understand? DONT LOOK AT ME!

Photogallery: Queenstown, New Zealand

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!
