Mike King is one of those guys who has talent in front and behind a camera. This past year he has caught my attention time and time again with his edits and riding. I highly doubt you haven’t seen one of his edits if you keep up with the daily videos that pop up. I figured after the edit that dropped the other day that it was time for me to get ahold of Mike and ask him a few questions. Check out what Mike has to say, some photos and a bunch of his edits. Don’t forget to leave some love in the comments too!

Last night we had the Anthem II premiere here in Minnesota. The turn out was pretty decent due to the reschedule and what not. I was psyched to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen in probably a year or so which was even better. I ended up shooting a few sketchy photos and felt like posting up two of Erik Elstran and Landon Anderson. Take a peek after the jump.

On the Horizon: The Take

December 15, 2010

The Take BMX

The other day it was announced the Jeff DuPaul would be taking over the role of Team Manager for The Take. For those of you firmiliar with either of those names, you would realize they make a pretty good team. I’ve known Jeff for quite a while and I feel like the brand will be making some real big changes with his presence. We decided it would be a good time for an On the Horizon to talk about some of these big changes. So, let’s see what’s going on with The Take…

Anthem II Premiere – Minnesota

December 12, 2010

Anthem II Premiere

Due to the massive snow shit Mother Nature took on Minnesota yesterday, the premiere got pushed back to December 18th! Next Saturday. Hope you can make it this time!

I’ve been thinking about organizing a premiere for Anthem II for quite a while now, and figured that since the copy I pre-ordered is here, I should get something put together. If you are around Minnesota on Saturday, December 18th you should make your way to Bluff Valley Skatepark in Zumbro Falls where we will be projecting it up on the wall for everyone to check out at 6 p.m. The skatepark will be open 2-10 and you can ride for $5 all day like usual. If you have any questions shoot me an email – KurtHohberger @ Gmail.com! Trailer after the jump.

Alex Vazquez is a name that has been popping up more and more. You can probably remember him as the dude doing the crazy one-hand manuals, or mullet mohawk guy. Maybe you remember him as the newest recruit to the Sputnic team. Regardless, if you are reading this, you have probably heard of or saw something that he was involved in lately. I figured it would be a good time to get him some questions to find out a bit more about him, which just so happened to come the same day as his new banger of an edit for his welcome to Sputnic. So check out what he has to say, some interesting photos and recent edits. Don’t forget to leave him some love in the comments, too!

Arnette Fire Drill – Limited Edition Colors

December 8, 2010

Arnette Fire Drill

Arnette sent over an early Christmas present that happened to include a pair of their new limited edition neon colorways for their Fire Drill shades. I’m pretty psyched on them, so I figured I’d make a quick post with a few photos of them incase you guys might be looking for some ideas for presents you want your parents to buy you. Big thanks to Arnette for giving me a fighting chance at looking like I have any fashion sense at all. Anything to cover up my ugly mug can only help, right?
