Catfish Visits Rampworx

May 25, 2011

“The one and only Catfish (team manager at DK Bikes and commentator for just about every contest on the planet) was over in England for the Nike Pool contest in London. After the comp Catfish headed up to Liverpool to come hang out with friends and ride Rampworx for a few days.

We caught up with him whilst he was up here and to talk about the local scene and what he thought about BMX in England.

Whilst Catfish was in Liverpool he decided to take a little bit of Liverpool home with him, he got a Liver Bird tattooed on his leg in. This is a tradition Catfish takes with him to every country he visits.

ESPN – The Take’s Dylan Stark Edit

May 25, 2011

“At the Toronto BMX Jam in early Spring, we got to witness The Take team rider Dylan Stark ride in person for the first time, and we were impressed by his ability to adapt his street skills to a heated park contest setting. Around the same time, ESPN contributing videographer Larry Alvarado started shooting with Dylan in his adopted home of Riverside, Calif., and since then, Dylan has been working on the above edit. It’s a small glimpse into the life of Dylan, plus some ridiculous clips from the So Cal area. Get to know Dylan Stark, and please congratulate me for writing this paragraph without making any bad pirate jokes. – Brian Tunney / ESPN

Dan Seig Edit

Go to BNQT.com for more videos.

“Media student Dan Foley put together this edit of Dan Sieg hitting up plywood and coping around North Carolina.

“I asked Dan one day at the skatepark if he had anything he wanted to film. He told me that he had a few things in mind, and asked if I’d be into filming enough for a small edit. After a couple sessions at Jaycee and the Unit, we had enough for just that. Dan runs only front brakes, has a deep bag of tricks, and can consistently do some wild box jump trickery. Thanks to Aaron Brenner for the 3 additional clips he had of Dan that he gave to me to use. Enjoy!” – Dan Foley

Deco – Mat Olson Daytona Skatepark + Interview

May 25, 2011

“Coming out with a new edit for Mat would be easy to do each week. He just produces. So I brought Mat up to Daytona skatepark while he was in town riding trails to get a little session at the amazing and free park that Daytona has to offer. While there he was testing out the Silver PC pedals, and as you can see he stomped on them with no flaws. Check the last trick. Also we sat down and made noises at each other, but in the end you can learn a few things about how and why Mat Olson rides a bike.- ” – DECO.
