Quicky: Karl Poynter

July 16, 2012

Over the past few years, there has been quite a bit of talk about a freecoaster that Karl Poynter had been working on. The project has been through it all with sponsor changes and design changes, but it has slowly come together and it becoming available is near. The other day, I spotted news that Karl’s freecoaster would finally be available in the next few months which is a good sign. I figured it was a perfect opportunity to catch up with him to find out what’s new and try to get a few words about the hub out of him since he’s been pretty tight lipped about it from the start. Let’s see what he had to say!

Haha, this is awesome. Ron Wilkerson gives you a history lesson about 2Hip while riding and hanging out in the office. There’s a bunch of classic footage mixed in for good measure and it sounds like they’ll be starting to make a little more presence back in BMX with their new Groovetech line finally being done. Definitely take a peek at this.

Chicago to Carlsbad with Chad Kerley and Timmy Theus

July 16, 2012

You already know this one is worth a look!

“There are certain dudes you just end up crossing paths with a bunch in BMX for one reason or another. Contests, random road trips, whatever the reason may be, there are faces that are constantly reappearing in your life if you stick around BMX for a minute. For me, Chad Kerley and Timmy Theus are two of these guys. We worked with Chad on his own contest in May (remember the Chad Kerley Invitational?) and filmed a few things at Timmy Theus’ local park, Wilson Skatepark in Chicago while out and about in the town. Fast forward a couple of months, and Timmy ends up (decently) close to Chad’s territory of San Diego, California, visiting the Golden State and filming a few things at the Transworld Skatepark in Carlsbad. Chad showed up with Christian Rigal to shoot something for the magazine and filmed some wild things while killing a bit of time letting Christian warm up. That being said, here is “Chicago to Carlsbad,” a video of two talented riders riding the same things in totally different ways.” – Ride BMX

Kink – What Part of the Country Is This Tour – Dan’s Comp Stop

July 16, 2012

This looks like it was a good time to me!

“Thanks to Dan’s Comp and Kink Bike Co. for putting on an awesome event. We traveled the 3hr trip down to Mt. Vernon and it was well worth it, it looked like rain all day but the weather held and everyone had a hell of a time as a result. The Kink team was shredding like all afternoon with Chris Doyle, Sean Sexton, Tony Hamlin Lloyd Wright, Aaron Smith, Ben Hittle, Kc Badger, and Jay Roe in attendance plus a lot of the Dan’s Flow team from around the area and a ton of other local shredders made up the mix. I n this video you can also see riding from Austin Zentmyer, Michael Barrow, Mitchell Kent, Bub Finney, and Zack Hatcher. Thanks again to both companies for putting on such a chill event out in southern Indiana and to everyone that threw down for my camera even as they were putting up the ramps.” – Andrew Gray
