Nick Steben Interview

September 19, 2009

I’m hanging out with a bunch of people at the Dew Tour in Chicago, and randomly a guy says to me “Hey man, I’m Nick Steben”. The name rang a bell, but with all my concussions over the years, it just wasn’t processing right. After a little bit I remembered exactly who he was and it was all good. I’m stoked I had the chance to meet Nick. He is the kind of guy who is doing BMX right. Travels with whatever money he has, rips on his bike, and is in general just a real nice guy. I shot him some questions for you guys to check out with the help of Jeff DuPaul. Have a look at what he has to say, then leave him some love in the comments!

On the Horizon: Animal

September 15, 2009

Animal has been a leading name in BMX for quite a few years now. They have been a brand that has stayed true to their image, and continue to progress in many ways. It isn’t a surprise that their name is synonymous with street with the amazing team they harbor. I shot Teague, their warehouse manager, a few questions for you guys to check out. Take a look, and leave Animal some love in the comments.

Sam Lowe Interview

September 12, 2009

Sam Lowe is a shredder from Canada. That’s practically an understatement. What if I said he was a storm chaser from Vancouver? Do they even have tornados there? You will get that after you read this… Sam has been on the down low lately recovering from some injuries, but is back in the game. I shot him some questions to see what he has been up to lately. Check out what he has to say, then leave him some love in the comments.

Greg D’Amico Interview

September 8, 2009

It’s crazy to think how big BMXfu and the Niagara Street crew has blown up so much in the last few years. They are doing things right. Cory Beal hit me up about doing an interview with Greg a little while ago, and it finally got put together. Check out what Greg has to say, some real good photos by Scott Barker, and his Futu part. Then go leave him some of your thoughts in the comments…

David Grant Interview

September 4, 2009

I had the chance to meet David when I was in Chicago for the Dew Tour. Some how we ended up hanging out a ton. We also ended up seeing some pretty crazy stuff go down on the streets of Chicago at 2 in the morning. David is a real down to earth dude who is pretty funny, and really doesn’t seem to stress much. If I were to own an NBA basketball team (You better believe I make that much money), I’d pay him to dunk on everyone since he’s so damn tall. I shot him some questions, and here is what he said. Check it out and then leave him some love in the comments!

On The Horizon: Country Bikes

August 31, 2009

Like most businesses, Country Bikes have had a few issues getting the ball rolling. A lot of times when something falls apart, a lot of people walk away from it. Torsten Pullich would just change things up and make it work. Now, the company is back in full effect and ready for you to check out. I shot some questions to Torsten about Country Bikes and this is what he had to say…

Matt Colisch Interview

August 26, 2009

I can’t remember the first place I remember seeing something of Matt Colisch exactly. For some reason it always comes back to his part in the old VULT video. Matt has since been doing a lot of things for BMX in the filming and editing side of things. He has been hustling to make ends meet while staying as close to BMX as possible. Check out what he has be up to lately, along with some photos and videos of him. Don’t forget to leave him some love in the comments either!

The Levi’s trip wrapped up Sunday night for me when we got back to Minneapolis. Overall, the trip was amazing. It was awesome to get away from the internet and just hang out. I’d like to thank Kathy (TM), Will Stroud, Steve Buddeneck, and the Levi’s team for bringing me along on the trip. You can see what we were up to on the Dig site, or by these links below…
