Five on Five with Lahsaan Kobza
“Amid an assortment of new lines, Subrosa/Shadow team rider Lahsaan Kobza runs through his favorite riders, then touches upon his love for switch smiths and switch hangers. Additional highlights include Lahsaan’s hair styling techniques and the ever-popular four versus three pegs debate. Look for Lahsaan to have a full section in Subrosa’s upcoming video “Get Used To It.” But for now, we’ll settle with the above video by Justin Kosman.” – ESPN
Simpel Summer Session Official Edit #2
“On 20th of August, tens of thousands of passing spectators on Helsinki main square witnessed the second Stadi Summer Session, summertime edition of Simpel Session, going down to the history books as the biggest BMX contest ever thrown in Finland. The open-air contest brought together 67 top riders from 20 countries, with Gary Young (USA) stealing the show, Alex Coleborn (UK) coming second and Daniel Tünte (GER) taking the third place.
The event was a big success – the line-up was better than ever before at the Simpel Session’s summer contests, the weather was great despite the worrisome forecasts, and the course was constantly surrounded by a cheering crowd. With BMX legends Darryl Nau, Andy Zeiss and Tommidmg as announcers, the whole Helsinki main square was filled with energy, firing up one of the most amazing and inspiring Simpel Session contests so far.” – Simpel Session
Bobbie Altiser Interview
All Photos: Zach Shipley
Bobbie Altiser has been on my radar for quite a while. He’s been classified under the front brake magic file and that’s a real good thing. There’s not a lot of riders out there that run front brakes (or brakes in general) these days. It blows my mind how more people don’t run front brakes with how fun it looks. Either way, I’ve been wanting to find out a little more about Bobbie for a while now, so I finally shot him over a few questions. Let’s find out a little bit more about the dude…
Name: Bobbie Altiser

Defgrip – Mike Jonas Edit
Mike Jonas / Defgrip edit from Defgrip on Vimeo.
“It was about a year ago when I first heard about Jonas – people telling me about some Long Island-to-Berkeley transplant, doing all kinds of crazy moves that nobody else would imagine doing. I think it was Kurt Russell or John Ivers that introduced me to him out at the Martinez skatepark, and, on seeing Jonas ride, I was convinced that the rumors about his riding were true.
After taking a trip to the Glory Hole fullpipe with him last summer, I felt that an edit of Jonas – showcasing his unique style and trick set – would be a lot of fun to work on, and even more enjoyable to take in and watch. This turned out to be the truth – we’re stoked on it, and we hope that you, the viewer, will be as stoked as we are. Be sure to check out Jonas’ bio in Dig 84!
