Etnies Skatepark Pegs Petition

April 1, 2011

A few weeks back it was announced that the Etnies skatepark in Lake Forest would no longer allow pegs in their park. Now you might assume Etnies is behind this, but in reality they just sponsor the park, and the park is ran by the city. Check out a few words from Etnies and then find out how to sign the petition…

“etnies was shocked and disappointed to discover that the City of Lake Forest banned BMX pegs from their public skatepark. In fact, we heard nothing of this proposed ban until AFTER it happened and it should be noted that the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest, although it bears our name, is managed and run by the City of Lake Forest, not by etnies or any etnies personnel. ”

To sign the petition, hit this LINK and sign your name in the comments. The more the better so spread the word!

The Official BSD Jam 2011 Edit

April 1, 2011

“Every year BSD holds a jam at Unit 23 skatepark, 2010 was different, this didn’t happen. There was a very good reason for this. With the help of Nike 6.0, a team of dedicated workers and a lot of blood, sweat and sleepless nights, Hall 2 at Unit 23 underwent an amazing transformation. Dave Sowerby created a new design and over a period of about two months, the old park was ripped out and rebuilt. The result being a rider’s paradise.

Given the promise of such a park, BSD felt it was only right to postpone the jam until the new set-up was ready.

Thanks to Nike 6.0 and Unit 23 skatepark without whom this jam would not have been possible.

Filmed by Dave Sowerby and John Bailey.

There’s also an additional edit from the BSD Jam that premiered on DIG. You can check that out by taking the jump…

Jon Wells Bike Check

April 1, 2011

Jon Wells is a legend in BMX. If you ever have the chance to meet him, you will understand (depending if he’s Jonathan or Jon). The only man to brawl at the Belmar, and a constant road tripping machine could describe him well. During the day, Jonathan handles Sun Ringle, and at night Jon brings out the best stanky leg. On the recent trip to Toronto, I shot some photos of his bike and forced him to stop working so hard and answer some questions. Check out Jon’s new Tree along with a few random photos I shot of Jon this past year or so.

Name: Jon Wells (off work) Jonathan Wells (at work)
