Blog: Slack? Maybe not.

May 20, 2010

Photobucket

I always feel like I’ve neglected this site when it goes 2 or so days without any fresh content… I take full responsibility. But, I do have a valid reason! The Dig site gets about 20 posts a day filled with videos, news, and original content that I post up. I’ve decided to compile the original content that I’ve produced on that site lately just to show that I’m not really slacking, I’m just hustling a lot on Dig! So, here’s that list… Oh, and expect a bunch of content for BMXunion coming in hot soon. It’s just a waiting game to get stuff back!

Quicky with Kreel

May 16, 2010

A few weeks ago Wyatt Kreel moved back to Rochester, where I’m from, and he has been tossing some good stuff lately. The other night we decided to pull the camera out for a bit and get a few things filmed. He ended up pulling a bunch of good stuff, and I even snuck in front of the camera for a minute. Filmed with a Canon T1i and a Canon 18-135mm lens. Boom.

Review: Duo Stunner Tires

May 10, 2010

Duo Stunner Tires

A few weeks back I received a little care package from Duo that had some fresh tires, grips, and one of those fancy Defgrip seats in it. I figured that I’d give the tires a review because I’ve been getting a lot of comments on them lately from people.

Free trip to Woodward?

Figured I’d post this up since the people over at Matador have been rad in the past. They’re teaming up with Woodward to give less fortunate kids a chance to make it to camp. Check out the full flyer after the jump.

On the Horizon: Etnies

May 7, 2010

Etnies Number

Flash back six or so years ago. Etnies was doing a team tour in their bus that made a stop at Jellystone skatepark in Warrens, Wisconsin. I’m about 15 and running a Macneil Ruben frame, wearing Etnies Ruben shoes, and sitting right next to Ruben Alcantara who is running his signature frame and wearing his signature shoes. I was so amazed that I could barely talk. That, and watching the whole team at that time really impacted me. I wore Etnies for a solid 6 years straight up until the recent chances to mix things up from some support from other brands the last two years. Needless to say, because of Etnies I got the chance to see some of my all time favorite pros ride in person, and that I’ve also been a big fan of the brand for years.
I was thinking that I haven’t bugged John Povah in a while and that made for a perfect excuse for me to find out more about Etnies and his role at the brand as well. So check out what John has to say, some photos of their new line, and then leave some love in the comments.

Dean Manson Interview

April 29, 2010

I’ve been sitting on this interview for a minute since there was a few things we were hoping to make happen with it, but it fell through. Either way, Dean Manson is a shredder from Australia that caught my attention recently. I wanted to see what he was all about and got him some questions to answer. Check out what he has to say, some photos, and his recent edit then leave him some love in the comments…

Dig Issue #76

April 27, 2010

Dig BMX Magazine - Issue 76

I’ve been real excited about this fresh issue of Dig for the last few weeks while we were getting everything put together. I’m real psyched because a few weeks back I had been talking with Ben Hucke about some stuff and he had mentioned he had been sitting on a few photos. Ben was working on an interview that kind of fell through and I wasn’t having any of that. I got the project fired up again and shot Ben some questions, and he had Jared Souney get some last pictures… like this cover shot! So incredible. It has been so hard keeping this one on down low without telling people. I’d like to thank Ben and Jared for working on this with me! So so so psyched!
Make sure you pick up this issue to see the couple page interview, and I’ve also got the products section. There’s a ton of other real good stuff in it as well, check out the contents and a sneak peek after the jump…

Andrew Gobbo Interview

April 26, 2010

Andrew has been a pretty recognizable name in the Canadian BMX scene over the last few years. From his days riding for the now non-existant Seshin bikes, being apart of the BMXfu crew, and just in general good riding. He had an edit drop recently that got my attention and I figured I’d see if he was into doing an interview. Well, it happened. Check out what Andrew is all about, a few photos, and some recent edits and then leave him some love in the comments!
