Tom Silins Interview
With the number of videos I come across everyday that I post over on Dig’s site, it’s gotta be something unique or really good that stands out for me to remember the name usually. My memory isn’t the best in the world, like most people with a few concussions. However, Tom stands out with his real good edits, and even better sliders. The other day he had an edit drop, and I was thinking that I should get his email to do an interview. The next day he emailed me about the edit, and it was on. I shot him some questions, and here they are. Check out what Tom has to say, and then leave him some love in the comments…
Interesting fact – the profile picture is taken with an old Zenith photocamera. Rarely do you find someone using a non-digital camera nowadays, even more one from the 70’s, haha. Both photos are taken by my good friend Gatis Trikulis.

Review: Deluxe Shovelhand Grips
I got the chance to check these Deluxe grips out at Interbike two months back and was into the idea of running some thicker grips. I got an email shortly after the convention from Mark saying he had them in stock and I was lucky enough to get a pair off him. So I’ve been riding the grips for a few weeks now and I think I got a solid idea of how these grips are….

On the Horizon: Mutant Bikes
Given this site gets readers from all over the world, which is mind blowing to me still today. There are times when a brand that isn’t even available in the United States catches my eye and I get curious. A few weeks back Mutant Bikes popped up and I figured it would be cool to get a brand outside of the norm’s perspective on things. Mutant bikes is a brand out of Portugal with a good attitude about bikes. Check out some words and photos about them, and then leave your thoughts in the comments…
Review: Subrosa Pandora DTT
(Fact: It’s hard holding and focusing a Canon T1i while holding a flashlight)
After close to a year of knowing about Subrosa‘s Double Top Tube Pandora in the works, it was finally sitting in my garage waiting to be put together. I had been drooling over it since I rode Kyle Hart’s prototype a while back, and really wanted to get some solid time on it. I’ve had the chance to ride it for a few weeks now and here is what I thought of it.

Nick Anderson Interview
I’ve had the chance to ride with Nick quite a few times over the years. He’s a fairly reserved guy who kills it on a bike. It’s cool to see him finally blowing up and getting the coverage he deserves. Given he has the most common name in the world (it’s up there…) he is from Minnesota, which I’m stoked on. Don’t act like you don’t get stoked on the dudes who are making things happen from your area. I got the chance to shoot him a few questions to see what he is up to these days. Check out what he has to say, and then leave him some love in the comments!

On the Horizon: Action Village
When ActionVillage.com announced they were going to be carrying BMX, to be entirely honest, I was a little bummed. I figured it was just a big mail order out to make a few extra bucks off us. After a bit of time, I started realizing they weren’t just there to make a buck, but because they are actually into BMX. I had the chance to meet Jason Start in Chicago at the Dew Tour, and then again at Interbike this year. I was finally feeling their vibe, and I figured maybe if I could get some questions to them it will make a little more sense as to what they are all about to you, also. That and with a team like Kachinsky, Jeff K, Doyle, and Eilken you can’t really go wrong, right? Check it out and then leave your thoughts in the comments!

On the Horizon: 1664
I remember when 1664 first started really getting noticed as a parts brand years ago. After a few years it quickly became a a real strong distributor. It’s crazy to think the way BMX brands expand and can change up their priorities or direction so quickly. With that being said, I got to meet Craig and Bernie at Interbike this year. I was interested in what kind of an operation they were running up there in Canada and shot them some questions. Check out what 1664 is all about along with a few pictures…
