Rest In Peace, Tony Mortenson

May 26, 2019

It’s never easy getting word about a rider that has passed away. We just found out that Tony Mortenson has passed away. Many of you will remember Tony from the Baco 10 video, which Props uploaded when they heard the news. Tony was an absolute shredder from Minnesota and a real good guy. We’re not sure what happened, but it’s definitely hard to hear he is gone. Rest In Peace, Tony. You were a hell of a guy on and off the bike and you won’t be forgotten.

“Tony’s Baco 10 section, circa 2004. RIP.” – Props

“We’re back with another episode of Substance In The City, this time we shoved the guys in a couple of cars and head north to the Granite City – Aberdeen. It was a classic case of Scottish weather with sun then rain, then sun again, but we had a blast as usual. Near misses with cars, dick doinks, John the Seagull, handrails, space-age eye visors and more. Featuring Joe Jarvis, Guy Scroggie, Jack Campbell, Si Gibb, Craig Sime and Doug Souter. Enjoy!
