The BMXfu crew pulled out the GoPro for a day in Toronto. That city is awesome and has so much to offer. Check out what they got into.
Red Bull – Bikes Over Baghdad
Cody York put together some photos and words about the recent Bikes Over Baghdad trip. You can read about the trip and check out some photos over on the Red Bull site. I thought this was pretty crazy…
“These shows were probably the best attended we’ve ever had,” said Schauf. “I was told by one of the people in charge of programs on the base that ‘There were more people here for Bikes Over Baghdad than when Kid Rock showed up.” Damn.

ESPN – John Povah – The Role of a Pro in BMX
ESPN asked Etnies team manager some questions about what defines a “pro” in BMX. John makes some pretty valid points and might give some insight to the kids out there who are looking to make it to that level. In other Povah news, I’ve got him some questions as well to talk about his job as a team manager and what that entails. Expect that soon as well!
Sneak Peek: Colony LTD Frame
Bits and pieces of the Colony Limited Edition frames that are being made by FBM have been popping up the last few months. They are getting close and shouldn’t be much longer. Australia and France will be the only ones getting these, but I feel like they will go fast so if you get the chance to get one, make moves fast.

Roy Van Kempen Bike Check
Photos: Syo van Vliet
Roy recently built up a new United decked out with parts from his new sponsor, Animal. Figuring a beautiful, dialed new bike is a poor thing to waste, I asked if Roy would be into doing a bike check. Obviously, he was into the idea so I shot him a few extra questions to see what else he has been up to, to go along with the bike check. Take a look at Roy’s new bike, what he has been up to lately and some recent edits then let him know what you think in the comments!
Name: Roy Van Kempen

Lino Gonzalez – BMX Artifacts – Part 1
“Animal team rider Lino Gonzalez is still a relatively young face on the BMX scene, but he’s been around for years, rising from a young flatland rider on the New England scene to one of the most respected names on the street riding scene today.
Because Lino’s been around the block more than a few times, he’s got an archive of goods that relate to his BMX days, including magazine photos, 2-Hip catalogs and more, which he shares with us in the above video. And this is only part one. Check back next week for part two. Video by Joe Cookie.” – ESPN
