Sneak Peek: Almond Special Delivery
Greg Henry Interview
There’s no doubt that if you actually pay attention to BMX, you are aware of who Greg Henry is. He’s one of the original BMXfu executives and Wethepeople‘s Canadian connections. I happened to bump into him at Interbike and had the chance to talk with him for a while. The guy is definitely the real deal on the good people scale. I figured he was more than overdue for an interview here on The Union plus with the Guy Stuff video coming out soon, it was a good time. I shot him a few questions so let’s see what he had to say. Oh, and shout out to Brad Hill for all of the photos!

They also have a real clean look with some nice aesthetic features like the tags. These gems will be available in November in this black and a suede OX blood red. You can check out more photos below…

Shane Weston Interview

I’ve been becoming a heavy fan of Shane Weston’s this past year or two. The real clean hop nothings, freecoaster goodness and in general chill style he brings to the table is without a doubt impressive. After a few sponsor additions and changes like getting bumped up to eclat‘s pro team and being added to Dan’s Comp‘s flow team, I decided I needed to shoot him a few questions to find out more about him. Let’s take a look at what he had to say…
