Monster Army Recon Tour – Skatelab

July 30, 2013

Here’s a look at what went down during the Skatelab skatepark stop on the Monster Recon Tour! The kids out in California have definitely been getting wild on the box jumps at these contests, but this one looks like it was more geared towards the street guys this time around. Take a peek at what went down!

“SOLANA BEACH, Calif., July 30, 2013 — The Monster Army Recon Tour presented by Replay XD held the ninth stop at the famous Skatelab in Simi Valley, CA. The Recon Tour blew the doors off the building by hosting the first BMX contest in over a decade. The course was street oriented and challenged the riders to show their technical skills on the stair sets, down rails, and the bowl on the upper level of the park.

Emmett Thomas, who is no stranger to the Recon Tour series, showed his technical skills and walked away with the win in the 13-15 age group. Next up was the 16 + division where a battle for 1st was brewing between Cory Clark from Palmdale, CA and Andrew Coleman from Benson, AZ. Cory barely edged out Andrew in the end and claimed the top podium position and all the bragging rights. The Play Open division was really stacked and all the riders had their work cut out for them. Brian Fox from Deerfield Beach, FL impressed the judges with his speed and power on the course. He had technical tricks backed by big lines and transfers that no other competitor was doing. Brian earned the 1st place podium finish, but because he already had a wildcard spot in the Play Am Finals from an earlier Florida series, 2nd place finisher Ed Percival will be taking home the golden ticket and the 9th spot to compete in the Play AM finals.

The day wrapped up with a rail jam contest on the stair features with the winner taking home a Hyper frame. The athletes put their bodies on the line by doing some of the most technical tricks we witnessed all day. Dave Canary took home the Hyper frame with a fakie full cab down the wedge gap in the last seconds of the competition.

Special thanks to our tour partners Monster Army, Hookit, Replay XD, A3, Vans, XRyderz, Madcatz, Pro-Tec, Movietickets.com, Hyper BMX, Mike Spinner, Fat Tony, and Todd from Skatelab.

The BMX Economics

July 30, 2013

Edit: This graphic, which was a quick 5 minute photoshop job, has been a large focus for a lot of criticism lately… Sadly, more than the words. This graph is not accurate at all, and was simply just a form of showing that there are more and more knock off BMX brands popping up every day producing more and more products causing there to be more supply than demand. I don’t have numbers to verify, and I sure as shit know I wouldn’t deny it being inaccurate but there are no numbers to verify, just constant complaints about there being too many brands now days… It was just something to go with the text. Apologies to anyone who was offended by this. I’ll put a picture of my room mates dogs red rocket or something that has no relevance if something like this comes up again.

2013 has been a really weird year for the BMX industry. I’m sure the majority of riders don’t really know or care because most of you are just worried about when and where you’re going to ride next and and that’s about it… But I’m sure some of you who pay a little more attention to the industry side have been seeing changes or even brands and riders talking about how times have been rough. When Dave and I were talking about some different things the other day, we got on the subject of how some things have changed over the years that I personally feel has caused the BMX economy to hit a recession so to speak. I figured since nobody really has talked about it before, I’d put together a little something explaining my perspective and what I think is going on. Curious to what the hell I’m thinking? Let’s get into this…
