Introducing Dave Paterson

February 24, 2012

Over the last year or so, I had been seeing this website called “The Merged” popping up. The site really focused in on the product side of BMX, which is one of my favorite things in the world, so it definitely caught my attention. As time went on, I was more and more stoked on the site. I ended up emailing Dave a while back and we have been going back and forth for quite a while and it hit me that I needed to try and convince him to get on board with The Union. I really want to push The Union in a positive direction with more original content from people other than myself that are doing good things. So I’m stoked to announce that Dave Paterson will be a regular contributor on The Union with his focus being more on the product side of things and U.K scene! Expect to see good things from him, Pavia and myself on the regular now. It’s going to get awesome.

I wanted to welcome Dave to the team properly, so check out this fresh interview to let you get to know more about him and what he will be contributing to the site! Check it!

Proper – Shane Rieder Is Back

February 24, 2012

After what feels like forever, I was more than stoked to come across this fresh new edit of Proper‘s Shane Rieder. It sounds like he was getting tossed around pretty heavy in the knee club with three ACL surgeries, but things are looking up. Check this one out!

“Shane is back with a bionic knee. After three ACL rebuilds in the last two years I think most people would have called it a day. Not so Shane Rieder who’s getting back to something like his best riding quicker than would seem possible.”

Ryan Guettler At Sheephills

February 24, 2012

Ryan Guettler recently made the move from Greenville, North Carolina on over to California. He moved into a place just down the road from Sheephills so he’s been getting some riding time in there. He strapped the GoPro to the bike for a few lines. Take a ride with the dude.

Madera – Bryce Toole Raw Footage

February 24, 2012

Madera uploaded some raw clips of Bryce Toole cruising the streets and Ray’s. Take a peek at what he’s been getting into lately!

“Bryce Toole is a busy dude at school and has little help when it comes to filming. He still manages to get out and shred and get some clips though. This a short montage of him cruising around his area.”

“ A little edit of an awesome dirt jump competition set up by Red Bull, and hosted here in our backyard at Gorge Road Bike Park. Sick show by the riders who owned the park!
