Zac Miner Interview

February 10, 2011

Zac Miner

Maybe it’s just me getting excited about the Colony video, or because it’s currently -13 degrees out and Australia is warm, but I’ve been psyched on finding more about some of the Australian guys. Zac Miner is up to bat next and this dude is wild. Zac kills it on a bike and knows how to take some money from a casino. Hell, he even marries seriously hot girls that he just met. Zac has been busy filming for a few projects, working on a signature frame, and traveling quite a bit so I figured he was ready for some questions. Check out what he has to say and some real good photos from Cooper Brownlee, and then leave him some love in the comments!

Mick Bayzand Interview

February 7, 2011

Mick Bayzand

Mick Bayzand is one of the regular names popping up around the Australian scene the past few years from the Colony team. I figured with Mick’s 2nd signature Colony Teddy X Strictly collaboration in the works, recovering from a pretty wild injury, and filming at full speed for the Colony video that it was a good time for some questions. Mick came through with some real solid answers in the process of all of this. So, check out some photos and videos, then leave him some love in the comments!

BV Jam 2011 Photos

This past weekend was the first Bluff Valley Jam that I had been working on for the past few weeks. It seems like it came up as fast as it went. The day started off with plenty of people making the trip in from the locals to the guys from the Twin Cities all the way to a bunch of guys from the Chicago area that made the trek up for the event. That was just the start to things because things were about to start getting a whole lot more ridiculous. I was pretty busy during the contest part making sure the runs kept going through smooth and everything was organized with the help of my dude Deljon on the mic, so I only have photos from the rail jam and big air. I saw Erik Elstran filming along with a few others so hopefully an edit from the day surfaces soon. Check out some photos from what I had time to shoot…

Update: BV Jam 2011 Flyer

January 26, 2011

BV Jam 2011

Where has January gone? It flew on by real quick along with the million other things going on. Either way, the 29th is the big day for the jam I’m throwing at Bluff Valley skatepark which is this SATURDAY. Above is the updated flyer. I was able to get a lot of support for the jam as you can see by all the sponsors for the flyer, and I’ve already got a ton of stuff to hook everyone up with (with more still on the way!) for riding and coming out. I’d like to thank everyone who pitched in to help make this happen. The doors open at noon Saturday with the contest getting underway at 2. It will be $10 for the whole day with half the money coming in for the day going towards the prize money being given out. I hope you can make it out.
Check out some prize photos after the jump.

On the Horizon: Quintin Co.

January 21, 2011

Quintin

Over the course of the last year, Quintin has been becoming a very recognizable name in the BMX industry with the announcement of the team, plenty of new products, collaborations with different brands, web videos and even their own skatepark. I’ve been becoming more and more interested and finally ended up talking with Brett Wiley a little bit. We decided it would be a good idea to do one of our On the Horizon’s to give you guys a little more insight into the brand. So check out what Brett had to say, some photos and videos, and then leave some love in the comments. I feel like this might just be the start for a few other projects further down the road.

Pro Town: Greenville

Holy slacker mode. I’ve been wrapped up in working on so many things that I didn’t make time to post up on here. Don’t worry, I’ll be back on track soon. Just wrapping up the next issue of DIG and lining up all the stuff for the contest on the 29th. February will be awesome. Don’t worry.
Speaking of awesome; I had the chance to check out Mark Losey’s documentary “Pro Town: Greenville”. I wrote up a little review for you guys. Check it out…

Product Talk: Potoczny Deluxe Frame

January 6, 2011

Deluxe Mark Potoczny BMX

Mark Potoczny is a rad dude. There’s plenty of good times that I’ve had because of him and his brother, and I’m sure a lot of other people can say the same. When I found out he was working on a signature frame from Deluxe, I hit up Mark to see if he would be into talking a little bit about the frame and the process for creating his first signature frame with Deluxe. Check out what he had to say along with some photos that I shot during the Welcome Jam this past summer, then let him know what you think in the comments!
