Proper – James Curry Welcome Edit
It looks like Proper Bike Co. have added James Curry to their line up! James has been killing it forever and this is a well deserved deal. Check out his welcome edit to see just why they picked him up!
“We’re psyched to welcome James Curry to the team. He’s been on our BSH frame and parts set up for a little while but we feel this edit and James’s recent magazine appearances mark his ‘welcome to the team’.
Filmed and Edited by Ryan Hallett;
“I have known Curry for about 18 months now and known of him for the last couple of years! I always knew he had talent on a bike but since getting to hang out with him more and whist working on this edit, I have realized just how much talent he has. Over the last couple of filming sessions his progression has gone crazy and the bulk of these clips were filmed during a couple of afternoons between rain showers! James Curry is on a mission at the moment and its good to watch, I look forward to working with him more and seeing his riding progress! It is great to see Proper pick him up and I am sure he’s going to be a great asset to their team; as he not only kills it on a bike he’s also a real chilled guy to be around! Hope you enjoy his welcome edit. Cheers Ryan””

If you check the site enough, there’s no doubt that you have seen some of Kurt Teague’s videos in the past. We’re a big fan of his work and it just keeps getting better and better! Check out this highlight reel of some of his favorite footage from last year wrapped up into about three and a half minutes of goodness.
“Last year, I spent a lot more time enjoying riding for what it is than constantly stacking clips. And I’m cool with that. That’s not to say that I didn’t get any filming done with my closest mates throughout 2013. This a collection of my favourite bits and pieces, mashed into something memorable, for me, myself and I.
Riders (in order of appearance) include myself, Nathan Tyas, Jake Taylor, Chris Rawson, Josh Warren, Alex Collins and Michael Graham. Filmed in and around Sydney, Australia.

If the Shoe Fits – Van Homan, Cody Jennings and Almond Footwear
Here’s an interesting story from Van Homan about how his shoe saved Cody Jennings life. I definitely did not expect this one when I hit the play button.
“Earlier this week, Almond BMX footwear announced the addition of BMX street legend Van Homan to their team, which includes riders such as Jared Washington, Jeff Kocsis, Iz Pulido, Lloyd Wright and David Grant. Almond Footwear, the shoe brand from the creators of Wethepeople Bike Company in Cologne, Germany, started out slowly several years ago and continues to gain momentum as one of the very few BMX-dedicated shoe brands.
With the news that Homan had joined Almond came the unexpected news that he had parted ways with the Ipath BMX team, which also included Alex Magallan and Seth Kimbrough. All signs of a BMX team, as well as Ipath’s surf team, were removed from the Ipath website. And their BMX connection, Ipath sales member Brian Osborne, parted ways with the brand in December.
Ipath’s roots in BMX reach back to 2009, when Mike Ardelean began hooking up riders that included Chester Blacksmith, Brian Yeagle, Andrew Jackson, Jim Bauer and Dave Thompson. In January of 2012, Osborne revamped the team and began working with Homan on a signature Ipath shoe. But Homan’s recent departure seemingly put a stop to that.
According to Homan, “Almond and myself are already working on some trips and a signature shoe together,” who additionally added that he was excited to be working with a shoe brand that only focused on BMX.
In the above video, taken from the days of Homan’s time with Orchid Footwear (summer of 2011), is a shoe-related story about Van Homan and his friend Cody Jennings. Although Homan is wearing Orchid shoes in the video, the timing of his shoe sponsor news and the above video seemed fitting. And we’re glad to say that Cody has since recuperated.” – ESPN BMX
