Brian Hunt off Orchid

January 2, 2013

This one isn’t entirely too shocking of news since Orchid as a whole has been pretty silent since May and that Brian’s signature shoe never surfaced as planned, but Brian Hunt is no longer riding for the company.

“Not long after I got hooked up with my local shop Eastern Boarder, a friend from there got me hooked up with Little Devil clothes and Orchid shoes which was about 7 years ago. Being apart of a brand with all my childhood heroes was a dream come true. Not to mention I could always hit up Derek to go cruise FDR or some local trails anytime I was in town. I’m incredibly grateful for everything Derek has done for me and I couldn’t thank him enough for all the adventures and good times!” – Brian Hunt

Troy Blair Bike Check

January 2, 2013

Fit Bike Co. dropped this fresh bike check with their flow dude, Troy Blair. That’s one dialed unit! Expect to see some footage from this guy popping up sooner or later.

“ Troy Blair, outta Tempe, AZ, is runnin’ an S4 with all kinds of Fit goodies, like the Blade II forks, 165mm Indent cranks, PC pedals and the Clubman Bar. A “welcome” edit is in the works now… and he’ll be cruising around with Tom, Shawn, Dan and Jared around when the team visits Arizona later this month.” – Fit Bike Co.

Scotty Cranmer off Felt

SCOTTY-ABUBACA

Well… This just dropped into my email and surprised the hell out of me. I wonder where Scotty is planning on going next. Any guesses?

“This one is a tough one to write…. After a great 9.5 years Felt Bikes and Scotty Cranmer have decided not to renew for 2013, nothing big happened, no drama, just a decision that had to be made and both sides are good with each other. When I first saw him at Metro Jam in 2003 I knew he was special and something I wanted Felt to be a part of, no one can argue that over the years he has proven to be one of the greats in this thing we call BMX. Contest medals, game changing edits, insane ads and memories of a kid having fun on his bike will be remembered forever, I am glad I got to be a part of it. Scotty and his family are good people and people I plan to stay in contact with for a long time, Felt and I personally wish him the best in his next steps which I am sure will be announced soon.” – Alan Foster – Felt Bikes

Through The Lens: 2012 Year End Gallery

January 2, 2013

Through The Lens BMX photos

I wanted to take this opportunity to throw together a Year-End gallery that had some of my most memorable photos of 2012 in there. It was really rewarding to look back on all of the projects that I was a lucky enough to be a part of and pick some images that stood out to me for whatever reason. This is also a way to kind of take a peak into my body of work for the year with the exception of some photos that are coming out in print as we speak and some that are still yet to be released. The following images have all come out of my camera at some point in the past twelve months. Some you may recognize, some you may not but either way I hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave some comments about which ones stand out to you. In fact, if you tell me which one you like most and why, I will read through the comments and personally pick one lucky winner to get a print of their favorite image. Here’s to the New Year, and here’s to pursuing your dreams. Check the photogallery now.
