The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
The next booth over was the Eastern booth. It’s always pretty funny when those guys are around. They’re always talking about their prototype plastic hubs, frames, and other nonsense that some of you would probably believe was true if I actually let them talk about it to you. It’s not true, but what is true is that they had a bunch of goodies at their booth to check out. Let’s take a look…

Yesterday was a doozie. I made my way up to Bloomington bright and early to make it to QBP’s Frostbike. The day was filled with talking with the different BMX brands QBP carries about product, along with a lot of other things that were less than business talk, which is more than expected/needed to make the day move.
I made the first stop at the Odyssey booth where I found Nuno Oliveira hanging out and slanging goods to the shops who were in attendance. Don’t worry, he was far from the zombie look he has in the photo due to all the coffee floating around. As expected, there wasn’t much for “new” (in relation to Interbike new), but there were still a few new things that were on the table like the two new colorways and a few other goodies. So, let’s take a peek…

Brian Osborne taming the Cobra at last years Frostbike.
Tomorrow morning I will be making the drive up to Quality Bike Products distribution in Bloomington, Minnesota for their annual Frostbike. Frostbike is similar to Interbike, but on a much smaller scale, and only open to the brands they carry and the shops they distribute to. Each year the event has grown, and it sounds like this year will be the biggest Frostbike in its history.
I’ll be making my rounds at all of the BMX booths such as Odyssey, Shadow Conspiracy, BSD, DuFFS, Profile, Eastern, Sun Ringle, Fly, Stolen and some other brands. Since it’s smaller, I will be able to spend more time at each booth (unlike Interbike where it’s constant go, go, go just to hit every booth in 3 days) and hopefully get some information out of everyone about what’s going on since I’m sure things have changed a bit since September. I’ll be dropping photos and info over the course of the next few days… so get ready!
Yesterday, Logan Reynolds hit me up with a link to the trailer of his new video “This Is The Spot”. I was pleasantly surprised because I knew he was working on a video, I just kind of forgot about it since I haven’t seen him since we were hammering back free pitchers at Crispy’s the night before the Sun Ringle trip last summer. I’m real psyched about this video because it features some of my good friends, and a lot of absolute shredders from the Midwest scene. Guys like Jeff Dowhen, Reed Stark, Jeff K, Jon Wells and Erik Elstran are just to name a few of the stacked list you can see from the trailer. I’m not sure of the exact release, if there will be a premiere or what, but I’m going to hit up Logan and get some answers about the video. Hit up MidwestBMX.net to find out more for now.
I had the chance to catch up with Eric Holley when he stopped by to do some judging at the contest I threw the other week. I decided I’d shoot a few photos of his bike so you guys can see what he is riding these days, then I tossed him a few questions to see what else is new. Check it out and then leave him some love in the comments…
Name: E Holley

I had the new issue of Case BMX Magazine show up the other day. Just looking at the screen printed cover of Geoff Slattery is pretty wild. It’s definitely got more to it than the cover as well.
A few of the things I was really digging in this issue were the Mike Ardelean iPath interview. Mike talks a little about all the different jobs he has had to get to where he today. Mike also talks about the iPath BMX program and Verde bikes things he is involved with these days. Greg Smee has a quick interview about what he’s up to with some real good photos. Also, the Anthem II interview with Stew Johnson by Mark Noble that was a solid read, even after reading all of the other interviews, and such. The photos from Vincent Perraud, Jay Eichhorst and Brian Yeagle to go with the feature are definitely a treat as well.
The issue also has features with Josh Cox, Brian Kachinsky, Brian Hinkel, Paul Heathcote, Vans Kill the Line, Hazelwood spot check, and a Ryan Popple profile and more…
You can pick up a copy at CaseBMX.com or through Wasted Youth in the U.S. All you gotta pay is the shipping and it’s yours. $5.
Maybe it’s just me getting excited about the Colony video, or because it’s currently -13 degrees out and Australia is warm, but I’ve been psyched on finding more about some of the Australian guys. Zac Miner is up to bat next and this dude is wild. Zac kills it on a bike and knows how to take some money from a casino. Hell, he even marries seriously hot girls that he just met. Zac has been busy filming for a few projects, working on a signature frame, and traveling quite a bit so I figured he was ready for some questions. Check out what he has to say and some real good photos from Cooper Brownlee, and then leave him some love in the comments!

Mick Bayzand is one of the regular names popping up around the Australian scene the past few years from the Colony team. I figured with Mick’s 2nd signature Colony Teddy X Strictly collaboration in the works, recovering from a pretty wild injury, and filming at full speed for the Colony video that it was a good time for some questions. Mick came through with some real solid answers in the process of all of this. So, check out some photos and videos, then leave him some love in the comments!
