DC Shoes – Robbie Maddison “Pipe Dream”

August 2, 2015

No, this has nothing to do with BMX, but we know for a fact you have probably never seen somebody ride a dirt bike on a wave before! Holy… crap.

“DC presents Robbie “Maddo” Maddison’s “Pipe Dream,” giving the world a chance to witness history being made as Maddo rides his dirt bike on the powerful and iconic waves of Tahiti. From his helmet to motocross boots, Maddo was dressed for FMX when he took his dirt bike into the unchartered saltwater terrain of the Pacific Ocean in French Polynesia.

For nearly two years Robbie has been focused on making surfing on his motorbike a reality. His efforts paid off in Tahiti, where he rode the world famous waves at Teahupoo and Papara.”

The photo above is one of my all-time favorites featuring Hucker sessioning the box at a demo in the parking lot of a strip club in Colorado with a few friends.

If you are any kind of fan of BMX you have more than likely heard the news about the DC BMX program getting dropped today. It came as a surprise to many people and I am sure caught the riders completely off guard. They were all at a point where they had been working on there 2013 contracts and making them official. Well, obviously that didn’t work out and here we are…

DC Shoes – South East Asia Tour Edit

January 25, 2013

I was starting to wonder when this video would be dropping. A few months back, DC Shoes sent Alfredo Mancuso, Dylan Stark, Jeremiah Smith and Rob Wise to South East Asia to experience the culture and do some shows. This is the video documenting their trip. Looks like it was a hell of a good time.

“The DC BMX Global team headed to Southeast Asia for a wild adventure, meeting local riders, teaching kids how to ride, and visiting less fortunate kids in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.“

Well… The cat is out of the bag. Just this morning Brad and I were working on an interview about his decision to leave The Set when he found out he would no longer be riding for DC Shoes as well. Definitely not a good day. We should still be dropping the interview so keep an eye out for that in the next few days. Until then, here’s a few words about him leaving The Set.

“In other team news the international nomad and all round shredder Brad Simms and The Set have parted. It’s all love both ways and it’s always hard to see a friend go. We were stoked to have Brad involved with us from day one to help build the brand, we’ve had a bunch of good times since Brad’s been with us and we wish him all the best for the future!” – Marc / The Set
