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!

Lino Gonzalez – BMX Artifacts – Part 1

March 23, 2011

“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
