Inside The Lumberyard

July 7, 2012

This place looks soooo fun.

“Portland, Ore., is blessed with a number of amazing concrete skateparks that are mostly bike-friendly. But one thing that Portland has not possessed in years is an indoor park that catered to BMX [or bike] needs. That left the local BMX scene sitting out the average 155 days of rainfall per year. That is now about to change. Recently, a new bike park opened in the Portland area dubbed The Lumberyard. It’s not BMX-specific, but it is BMX friendly, and the locals [including Shad Johnson, Justin Inman, Ben Hucke and Caleb Quanbeck] have started to take advantage of it. In the above video from Ben Hucke, we get an inside look at a typical BMX session inside the Lumberyard.” – ESPN

Here’s a slightly different look on the X-Games courtesy of Miles Rogoish and his VX.

In case you missed out on watching street at X Games Los Angeles, this video highlights each invited rider from start to finish. Footage includes riding Stevie Churchill, Simone Barraco, Alex Kennedy, Jeremiah Smith, Sean Sexton, Rob Wise, Bruno Hoffmann, Dakota Roche, Chad Kerley and five-time X Games gold medalist Garrett Reynolds. There are minimal fist bumps, and maximum toothpick hangovers to 180 in this video.” – ESPN

Get To Know Pablo Nunez

July 5, 2012

Damn this dude is gooood.

“Pablo Nunez is a New York City transplant hailing from the Dominican Republic. He started riding about three years ago after seeing some “guys jumping on bikes at Mullaly” [Skatepark] in the Bronx. Along the way, Pablo’s riding introduced him to NYC BMX luminaries such as Tyrone Williams and Ralphy Ramos, and eventually, Pablo became one of the first members of the newly re-emerging BASE Brooklyn team.

I kept hearing about how rad this kid Pablo from the Bronx is so when I was in New York I had to meet him. After hanging out with Pablo for a day I can tell you I wasn’t disappointed. Pablo is young, highly skilled on a bike, and an extremely genuine. I’m excited that BASE started hooking him up so that the rest of the world will get a little more familiar with a kid I consider a friend after only two days.

Pablo rides Mullaly Skatepark on a daily basis and it’s paid off. And while he destroys even the most beat up ramp set ups daily, he also manages some pretty impressive moves on street. Music: “The Fugitive Kind” by Trigger Code” – Aaron Nardi / ESPN
