Chicago Dew Tour Photos

June 28, 2009

I spent the last few days down in Chicago hanging out shooting photos and what not at the Chicago Dew Tour. I made a few daily updates on the Dig site incase you missed that. Day One | Day Two | Day Three. I just posted a few photos and some words and the places people got over there. I figured since I have a bunch of other photos left over that I might as well post. Some of them are a little blurry since its fairly hard keeping up with the guys hauling ass around the park. I’ll try and put a few captions in to explain some of the photos too. This will get broken down into 3 parts since it was 3 days and I had close to 150 photos that were fairly decent. So check them out and feel free to leave some comments.

Osiris Chino Mid & Diablo Review

June 21, 2009

When Osiris brought back their BMX program I took some notice of their shoes for the first time in a while. I guess I’ve always felt like if a company didn’t have a BMX team, I couldn’t see myself riding their product. Kyle Carlson, the Team Manager for Osiris now, had asked if I was into any of their Spring 2009 line. After trying out mid-tops for the first time on my last pair of shoes, I figured I’d give theirs (Chino Mids) a shot. When they showed up I was stoked to see an extra pair of their Diablo’s in the box also. So, here is what I thought! First, a look at the shoes in this video I pulled together…

Success

June 19, 2009

If you saw my blog post about trails below… you would have read that we were getting some heat from the cops and city. I’m not sure if me emailing the mayor directly or not had anything to do with it, but apparently something happened.
Stoked. Check out the full letter left at the trails for us.

Trails Addiction

June 17, 2009

I figure it’s about time I do another blog post… I really don’t know where this is going, but either way you can see some shots of the trails I’ve been building along side a real good crew of guys who like throw dirt around. My reason for this is the question how does trails become an addiction and what happens when something attempts to get in the way of it?

Craig Passero Interview

June 16, 2009

I’m not going to lie, if you haven’t heard of Craig yet… you should be slapped. Craig has been impressing me with his web videos for the last two years or so, and his recent part in the AOTC was about the opposite of the Holocaust. Okay, I may have gone real far there but yeah. Craig kills it on a bike and definitely deserved this interview. Check out what he has to say, some photos, web videos, and then leave him some love in the comments!

Corey Godfrey Interview

June 12, 2009

Corey is going to be the start of an endless list of east coast interviews that are getting worked on right now. This interview is pretty funny for a couple of reasons, but I’ll just tell you that Corey is unique. From doing 900’s to almost doing porn, it’s all pretty interesting. Check out what he had to say, along with some photos and videos, then leave him some love in the comments!

Dig It!

June 10, 2009

I’ve some how got a few minutes with nothing in particular I need to do. It’s kind of a surprise since as of lately I usually always have something I can do if I am bored.
As of right now I am waiting on a few interviews ( 2 On The Horizons for those of you who asked ) and I figured I could give you an idea of how much I have been doing over at Dig. Here is a compiled list of interviews I have done for them…. Oh, and if you want to see somebody interviewed on here shoot me an email and I will get to it.

Adam Guilliams Interview

June 7, 2009

When things were finished up with Garrett Guilliams’ interview, Garrett had mentioned that his brother was a real good dude and I should shoot him some questions. I was told some real good things about him and knew that it was definitely something that had to be done. Adam is a real talented kid on and off a bike, and knows what it takes for a good time. So check out what the younger Ginch Brother has to say, and then leave him some love in the comments!
