Fox – Created To Destroy East Coast Tour Edit

October 20, 2011

“Day 1 – It was an awesome kick off to the CREATED TO DESTROY TOUR. Our first stop was at Scotty Cranmer’s Skatepark – INCLINE CLUB in Jackson, NJ. It was packed with shredders! There is so much talent there. The locals rode hard with the FOX team and had a blast. Scotty was on fire, and showed he has been putting in work at his home spot. Thanks to the INCLINE staff, Cranmer family and all the riders who came out to shred with us.

Day 2 – We hit up the famous LONG ISLAND BICYCLE shop and the BMX scene came out to represent. The local riders got the opportunity to chill and ride with the pros, and some heavy moves went down! LIB is a core shop that knows how to do it… Dean, Julie and the LIB crew put on yet another awesome event. Great turnout and vibes, thanks again!

Day 3 – The final stop of the tour was for BOB’S Grand opening in Northport, LI. They hosted our team demo. The crew from The Bike Doctor of Port Jefferson cooked up some ramps for the crew to shred on… Big thanks to them for that. Under sunny skies, the crew threw down! Scotty Cranmer is definitely ready for the last Dew tour stop, and showed why he is the man. Chase Hawk, Chase Dehart and Russell Barone rode smooth and stylish (as always). The DJ blasted some awesome tunes and the crowd that came out showed appreciation. The BOB’S staff was awesome and the riders stuck around for an in-store signing and CULT bike give away. Jack was the proud winner, and so psyched on his new bike. Overall this demo was a good way for people to experience some real BMX.

Check this edit we put together from the 3 day tour. Big shouts to the riders, locals, shops, and everyone who made it possible. Music courtesy of Rockie Fresh and She Wants Revenge.” – FOX

Photogallery – Red Bull Dreamline – Finals

The finals from Red Bull‘s Dreamline went down this past Saturday. The format was once again very loose with everyone who didn’t make it into finals voting for the top 3 riders. With a line up of Brian Foster, Chris Doyle, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Luke Parslow, Dennis Enarson, Cory Nastazio, Gary Young and TJ Ellis in the finals, good things were obviously going to happen.
After the lines were touched up and watered by the building crew, the guys started rolling in on the trails. Once everyone was good and warmed up, the guys in the finals were given the heads up that the clock was going to start and they had an hour to impress everyone with everything in their bag of tricks.
Needless to say, the final jam turned into a full on session with almost everyone riding; not just the guys in the finals. As the time progressed, things started getting real hot with guys throwing down things they have never done or haven’t done in years. Everyone was vibing so well that once the clock ran out, nobody said anything and just let the guys keep going. It was an amazing decision since that’s when two double backflips came out (Hucker and then Luke Parslow) over the big booter, Dennis was destroying the shark fin, Doyle was dropping 720’s mid set and everyone in general was pushing it harder than any of the riding seen the entire weekend.
It wasn’t until Brian Foster went down with a possible torn ACL and the light was fading that the riders decided it was time to shut it down and cast their votes. It was apparent to everyone who would be taking home the cash this weekend.

I’d like to send a huge shout out to Red Bull for organizing one of the most amazing and relaxed contests ever. This is definitely one event that will go down in the history books as how things should be done in BMX.

The past few days have been, well, a dream. Red Bull gave Anthony Napolitan and his team of builders (Adam Aloise and Cody Nutter to name a few…) free reign on the hills of Coffee Mill Ski Resort in Wabasha, Minnesota to build the best possible dirt course they could. With months of secrecy for organizing and building the course, it was finally unveiled with a video that melted minds. Fast forward a few weeks and some of the best dirt riders in the world are flying into Minnesota wondering where the hell they are.
Thursday was the first official practice day, and Friday brought the qualifiers. This contest was ran entirely different than any other contest because the format was very loose. Eight riders would get a one hour heat to get as many runs down the mountain as they can, while the other eight riders would be judging them. After both heats went through, four riders from each heat were picked for the finals that would take place the following day.
Above you can find 56 photos from qualifiers that went down Friday afternoon shot by yours truly. If you would like to see the images in their full size just give them a click.
