Through The Lens: Growing Up in East L.A. with Anthony “Boy” Flores
Boy cruisin’ the streets with an opposite smith.
This week I got the chance to interview Anthony Flores a.k.a “Boy” about what it was like growing up as a BMX rider in East Los Angeles. A lot of riders share a similar upbringing of cruising the neighborhood with their buddies to the ice cream store but Boy’s upbringing was a little more raw than that. Sure, he fell in love with riding just like most of us did but he also spent his childhood in the projects. By no means am I saying that it’s a bad thing, I am simply pointing out the fact that Boy avoided all of the typical shit that comes along with growing up in a rough part of a big city and decided to focus his energy into riding and I think that’s awesome. I have known Boy for a long time now and have been shooting with him ever since I moved out West. There has never been a dull moment hanging out with him, he’s always got some stories to tell, and a smile on his face. He also holds down a job, and does what it takes to make sure his son Jordan a.k.a “Mr. Young BOYrack87” is taken care of along with his girl. Needless to say, he has been there for BMX since day one and his passion remains. Enjoy.

Nigel Sylvester’s “Trippin’ Thru Europe” Tour
It look like starting this weekend, Nigel Sylvester will be bouncing around Europe to hit up Simple Session and hang out at a bunch of shops. If you’re in the area of any of these stops, I’d suggest you make it. There’s going to be good times and probably a bunch of free stuff being given away!

Tanner Easterla Interview
Every now and then you’ll see a riders name popping up from time to time in different edits. If you pay attention you will notice most of those guys progressing. Tanner is one of those riders who I’ve been seeing pop up for a few years now, and then this past week out of no where he had not just one, but two damn good edits that dropped. Needless to say, Tanner was all over my radar, so thanks to Matt Freiheit, I was able to get ahold of this dude to find out a little more about him. Let’s check out what he had to say!
Name: Tanner Easterla
