Chad Kerley Vitaminwater Invitational

May 11, 2012

I’m going to be hitting the road and heading down to Chicago here in just a little bit for Chad Kerley’s Vitaminwater Invitational at The Bakery for the weekend. I’ll be posting up the live feed tomorrow courtesy of Ride BMX for you guys to check out.

It should be a pretty insane contest since I heard the rider list is up to about 30 dudes. So you are going to want to check out the live feed for sure. I’m going to try and shoot some decent photos so I can come up with a photogallery from the weekend for you guys to check out as well…

Posting may be a little slow between now and Sunday night so I apologize!

DIG went deep into the archives for this one. Hit this LINK to check out an interview with Brian Yeagle from 2004. Definitely cool to look at where he was then and where he is today. Plus, the photos to accompany it are too good.

Jason Enns – Heros and Madmen

May 11, 2012

It’s kind of crazy to think that the video Heros and Madmen is 20 years old. That means when Jason Enns was filming for this section, I was 3 years old and couldn’t even ride a bike yet. Regardless, shout out to Joey Cobbs for posting this up on the Demolition site. This one is for the history books. Enjoy!

Matt Bischoff Named Snafu Brand Manager

May 10, 2012

I had heard some rumors that Snafu had been sold, and that there were going to be some changes to the brand coming. I didn’t know for sure, but it was just confirmed in an email that I just received. Should be interesting to see where things go with the brand.

“Temecula, CA—On May 10, 2012,

SNAFU has been sold and is under new ownership. Matt Bischoff has been hired as new Brand Manager.

SNAFU brand manager Harold “McGoo” McGruther approached Bischoff regarding the SNAFU takeover last winter. After 13 years at the helm of the boutique brand he co-founded in 1999, the 50-year-old bike-industry veteran simply chose to pursue other business interests.

Matt Bischoff has been a part of the SNAFU team since the brand’s inception in 1999, and brings to the program a wealth of enthusiasm and experience.

Matt’s new responsibilities with SNAFU include sales, product development, team and brand management.

Expect some new and fresh things coming very soon from SNAFU.”
