Dakota Roche on Action Village

March 21, 2011

“Action Village proudly announces the addition of Dakota Roche to its Pro BMX team:

“I’m real stoked to be a part of a mail order company that backs the brands I’m already involved with so hard. They jumped on early with Cult when we were first starting out and that goes a long way in my books. Plus it’s an honor to be on the team with such heavy hitters such as Gary Young, Chris Doyle, Brian Kachinsky, etc… Excited for this opportunity, thanks to Action Village for making it happen!” – Dakota Roche

“Dakota is a legend in the making. His riding is the perfect combination of power and style, something that all riders can enjoy and appreciate. Beyond this is his undeniable dedication and love for BMX. I have been a fan of Dak for years and look forward to watching him push BMX for years to come. It’s an honor to now call him a teammate!” – Brian Kachinsky

“We’re super excited to add Dakota to the squad. Dak is a star and the exact type of consummate professional we are proud to work with. We thank him for coming aboard and look forward to an exciting year!” – Alan Walton – CEO – Action Village

The Action Village Pro Team consists of: Chris Doyle, Brian Kachinsky, Jeff Klugiewicz, Dakota Roche, and Gary Young.

The Action Village Flow Team consists of: James Barton, Christopher Bracamonte, Cody McKenna, Joel Pierazek, Don Rich, and Devon Smillie.”

Quicky: Josh Eilken

Josh Eilken is one of those riders who have completely melted my brain just watching them ride. This past year I had the chance to spend 10 days with the guy and got to know him pretty well (Fun fact: Josh is lactose intolerant and eats more cheese than anyone I know). I also realized that he’s absolutely nuts on a bike. Josh recently decided to leave Federal‘s flow team after a few years of service, so I figured it would be a good time to check in with him and see what he’s up to. I’d advise any bike companies looking to add a freecoaster rider/beast to their team, to give Josh some consideration. Check out what he had to say, some photos from the trip last summer, some recent edits and then leave him some love in the comments and hit that like button!

On the Horizon: Action Village

November 1, 2009

When ActionVillage.com announced they were going to be carrying BMX, to be entirely honest, I was a little bummed. I figured it was just a big mail order out to make a few extra bucks off us. After a bit of time, I started realizing they weren’t just there to make a buck, but because they are actually into BMX. I had the chance to meet Jason Start in Chicago at the Dew Tour, and then again at Interbike this year. I was finally feeling their vibe, and I figured maybe if I could get some questions to them it will make a little more sense as to what they are all about to you, also. That and with a team like Kachinsky, Jeff K, Doyle, and Eilken you can’t really go wrong, right? Check it out and then leave your thoughts in the comments!
