Andrew Brady Interview

May 26, 2009

If you would have asked me who Andrew Brady was about two months ago, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell you anything. Then Tom Arkus suggested him when I was looking to redesign the site and that all changed. Andrew is a real talented guy who not only rides but does web design, photography, filming and editing also. I was pretty stoked on his work and figured it would be cool to do an interview with him. So here it is! Check out what he has to say and leave him a little love in the comments!

Albes Sunday Premiere

May 26, 2009

I normally don’t post flyers or much news, but Flip over at Albes asked if I could post this flyer for the Sunday premiere up. He was also saying he put an “extra treat” in with my box of stuff. So I figured, I’ll post this in hopes of it not being a big black dildo.

Orchid: Function Review

May 20, 2009

It’s kind of funny how from time to time I will find this need to do things I was never even asked to do. In this case, I happened to be able to get myself a pair of the new Orchid’s a few days before anyone else. Thanks to Derek Adams for doing that, so this is how I will return the favor. First of all, I don’t know why I wanted these shoes so bad in the first place. I have been wearing Etnies for close to 9 years now. I guess I’ve always wanted to try out some mid tops and these just caught my attention. So, check this out for those of you looking for some new shoes…

Madera Perspectives Part Two

May 18, 2009

Continuing on with the second part of three for the new Madera video interviews. In this instalment you can see the perspectives of Dave McDermott, Conall Keenan, Josh Eilken, and Tony Malouf from making the video.
Once again I remind you that some of these interviews have been done for months due to waiting for the video to be ready to drop, so if answers sound a little funny that is why. You can also see what the cover looks like below and disc at the bottom!

Jay Miron Interview

May 17, 2009

I’m sure for all the guys who have been riding for years, you can remember your first custom complete you built up. My first was a MacNeil Ruben, with a bunch of Primo, and We The People parts. I remember wanting a MacNeil so bad because their team and everything was awesome. The frame still hangs in my garage to this day, I don’t plan on getting rid of it either. Needless to say I have been a Jay Miron fan for years, and just having a conversation with him at Interbike last year was one of the top things I did while in Las Vegas. It was time to do an interview with him, and this one is broke into two. You can check out some classic photos and some more questions over on the Dig site. Check out the interview, and leave him some love in the comments!

Madera Perspectives Part 1

May 15, 2009

Over the course of the next few days there will be three parts posted for some interviews I did with the Madera team, and their chosen filmers for the new Madera video. Each rider on the team picked the filmer for their part and it went from there, and now the video is finishing up at the duplicators and it is time for the release.
This project has been going since the beginning of the winter, so some of the answers might sound a little funny when they refer to the weather just getting snowy, but yeah! Here is part one featuring Jeff Kocsis, Wade Young, Mike Hinkens, and Grant Castelluzzo.
