Hoffman – Seth Kimbrough Hartselle Park Edit
Hit the Hoffman site to check out a few photos to go with this as well! Can’t go wrong with Seth Kimbrough footage. Enjoy!
“I recently spent some time with Seth in his neck of the woods in Alabama. About a ten minute drive from Seth’s house you will find a less than perfect shape pad of asphalt that is grounds for the Hartselle skatepark. Seth has never really filmed much at the park so he really wanted to put an edit together of the place you will most likely find him riding when he’s home.
Through the years the park has had additions added and taken away. Today you will find a quarter, a pyramid that could suit King Tut, cinder block manual pad and some various rails surrounding the outer perimeter. One of the obstacles had me really excited to ride. Seth installed a rail that he and Corey Martinez had when they first started riding, built by Corey’s dad. That rail alone can be held responsible that planted the seed for so much BMX progression between the two of them. I also have to mention the locals. I have never been to a place with such a positive vibe given the very little resources they had to ride. We even sneaked in a few clips of David Cortez who is at the park everyday with a smile on his face.” -Jeremie Infelise

Dave Sowerby Interview
Head on over to the Ride UK website for an interview with film maker Dave Sowerby. It’s a real good read and I think you will be stoked on it.
Daniel Dhers Interview
Head over to the Ride BMX website to check out a fresh interview with Daniel Dhers. It’s definitely a good read since he talks about the new Specialized deal he’s got going and more. Sounds like they might be growing the team a little more than just Daniel, but I am just speculating on that one.
JJ Anderwald Bike Check
Stolen dropped this fresh bike check with JJ Anderwald for you to take a peek at. That’s one hell of a dialed looking unit to me! Fresh!

How To: Crank Arm Grinds
Here’s a little how to action on crank arm grinds from a kid named Johann Valder. It would appear that he’s got these on lock, so take some advice and then get out there and give it a go.
