Nick Anderson Interview

November 3, 2009

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

November 1, 2009

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

October 28, 2009

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…

Jeff Wescott Interview

October 26, 2009

I can’t think of the first time I came across something involving Jeff. I’m sure it was over a year or two ago from through an edit, but yeah. Basically, Jeff has been killing it lately on his bike, and been behind the lens for a lot of edits and videos popping up latley. Tony Malouf hit me up with an edit of his and asked when he would get an interview. I responded with “I’m on it” and now it’s done. Check out what Jeff has to say and then leave him some love in the comments!

Blog: Print Vs. Web “War”

October 24, 2009

It’s a slow saturday in BMX Blogging. My google reader was left with few options, and nothing that struck me as important. There is snow on the ground, and it’s cold. The very small local indoor charges $13 to ride a park on weekends, and I’m cheap. I decided it has been a while since I’ve done a “blog” post. I’m sure if you found my site, you were on the internet enough this week to catch the huge flair up about “Is print dying?” debate…

On the Horizon: Failure Bikes

October 20, 2009

I always laugh when I think about FailureFailure as a business name. Imagine going to a bank and explaining to them that you need a loan for your business that is named Failure, with a slogan of “Success is not an option”, they had to think Matt was crazy. Then again, that beard probably was all they needed to approve him to start his company. Either way, Failure has been around for a few years and I wanted to know a bit more. Check out what Matt had to say and then leave some love in the comments…

Daily Rotter

October 20, 2009

I’ve got an interview over on The Daily Rotter. If you are curious about me, what I do, why I do it, how much I love when people send me hate mail, and want to see some photos of me sucking up on my bike, hit that link!

Let’s Get Mystical Review

October 15, 2009

Letting my friend borrow Let’s Get Mystical while I was at Interbike was a bad idea. I got it back yesterday, finally. I threw together a review from it, but since I’m basically the last person to do it… I don’t quite know how many people will care to read it. If you are interested in what I think check it out on the Dig website. It’s fairly brief, but I think I get my point across.

Expect more updates soon! Oh, and if you want to see somebody interviewed just leave the name in the comments.
