Honey BMX – Stadi

August 13, 2012

Watch this on Vimeo to get a better look at this one. Real good!

“Summer. I don’t know anyone, who hates it here. I don’t know anyone, who wants to spend their time hanging out in the cold, watching the sleet hitting their faces. I don’t know anyone, who travels to north during the summer just to spend their time in the snow. Sometimes some finns complain: “It’s too hot out here”. I don’t understand them. We live in one of the most northernmost countries and only Reykjavik lies more to the north of world capitals than Helsinki. So it’s natural for us to get used to the cold weather since the day we are born. But I need that heat, it gives me energy. I believe we all need that.” – Honey BMX

Practice pulling up and leveling out on flat ground, then listen to Broc’s tips to the trick in this Step By Step.” – Alli Sports

Photogallery: Jacob Manes

August 13, 2012

I first saw Jacob Manes photos when he was submitting some damn good shots in our Through The Lens photo contests. They were so good he landed himself a 2nd place spot in our last one that we did with the very photo you see above. The other day he sent through some samples of his latest work for us to take a peek at. We were real stoked on what we were seeing so we decided it would be a good time to show you guys more of his photos. Head over to the photogallery to check out some rad photos of Clint Reynolds, Bas Keep and more from around Austin, Texas!
