5050 BMX – Blood & Bullets

August 5, 2021

The 5050 BMX team loaded up for a road trip down south to Texas to ride street spots, skateparks, trails and more all the way down. Here’s a look at what went down with riding from Rob Wise, Kurt Perkins, Jonesy Fedderson, Big Daddy, Skyler Pingree, Adrian Evans, Dave Pendleton, Tristen Cooper, Elijah Prieto, Ryan Dare and more! It’s safe to say this was a real good time!

“When I was first in the van heading towards Texas I didn’t know what to expect. After the trip was over with a pile of SD cards in my pocket, I knew we had footage that no one would expect. With a heavy list of riders starting with legends who have made their name in the industry, and young guns who are earning their own stripes. The moment we stepped onto Texas soil it was game on and everyone came through spilling blood and making moves like weapons. We were taken care of by a lot of Texas locals who helped make the trip such a great success. Thank you to all those who were involved to make this what it is! I think each person in our crew has a special place in their heart for Texas now. I know we all put our hearts into this project. Without further adieu, I present to you 5050’s Blood & Bullets… enjoy!” – David Pendleton

Big Daddy Returns – Daddy Vision: Episode 1

February 23, 2018

After a few year hiatus, it looks like Big Daddy has returned…

Around 2011 or 2012, Big Daddy was the original vlogger with hilarious videos that made little sense, but had wild riding and non-stop laughs. Around 2013 Pat “Big Daddy” Laughlin started focusing on his future and went back to school to be a dentist or something and slowly disappeared for a while. We’re not sure what he’s been up to for the last 5 years, but it looks like he’s making a comeback in 2018 as a legitimate dad. Here’s the first episode of “Daddy Vision” giving you a little look into what he’s been getting into lately. Although he seems to be a little more tame and not as jacked as before, he’s still crushing it on a bike. Hit play and take it all in!

“HE’S BACK MARINATING IN THE KITCHEN! PEOPLE AREN’T GOING TO KNOW WHAT HIT EM BECAUSE HE’S THE KING, THE JACKHAMMER, AND THE MOST DIABOLICAL RIDER EVER!

Spent 2 months with Patrick just hanging out, getting to know each other more then we came up with the idea to restart Daddy Vision. Thats where we are today and we are committed to creating many more, all we ask is support!
