BMX is an interesting sport because it’s constantly evolving and changing. Trends, styles and riders drive the party bus and brands are constantly trying to keep up with the demands and innovations needed to keep things going in the right direction and for the fun to never stop. Over the years, brands have come and gone, have risen to the top and fallen to the bottom of the barrel and single products or team additions have brought brands back to life… Hell, there are even brands that have killed their selves off just the start over and come back stronger than before.
Recently I was talking with Mark Owen about some of the changes going on with some of the brands that Sidewall carry. Mark mentioned some big changes going on with Coalition that really caught my attention.

Jeff Wescott has been on fire lately. After joining the Amity Bike Co. team a little over a year ago, he has been making moves all over the world and is constantly on the move these days.

Jeff has been mega busy as of late handling the U.S team manager roll for Amity while putting in a ton of time in front and behind the camera. I figured it would be a good time to catch up. Check out what he’s rolling on these days with a bunch of extra questions. Sounds like he’s got some warmth in his future…

Pauly Cvikevich on Coalition
Coalition just added Pauly Cvikevich to the flow team and posted up a real good welcome edit.
“We are glad to anounce that after a long time of lagging and watching in amazment we finally added trail boss Paul Cvikevich to our flow team. Pauly is one hell of a rider, killing everything from trails to parks and even busting out random creative ass street moves. We are hard at work on his team page but for the time being this video will have to hold you over. Congrats and welcome to the Fam Pauly!” – Coalition

Coalition – Portlandia Trip
“Tammy and Matt Colisch took a trip up the west coast to shred and hang with David Grant and Shawn McIntosh in Portland. They hit a bunch of NW parks and a ton of Portland street. As usual Tammy stacked a shit load of clips and Colisch got a few things done as well.
Check coalitionbmx.com for more of the story and pics from the trip.“
