“Joe Battaglia has quite the reputation in the midwest BMX scene. He’s known most for screaming at the top of his lungs and doing inverts. When Joe isn’t doing box jump shows you can find him at any one of the many outdoor skateparks that Illinois has to offer. Here Joe sessions his favorites over the span of a week’s time. Filmed and Edited by Tony Malouf.” – ESPN

Tree Bicycle Co. Day In The Life
“The stereotypical office cubicle in a metropolitan environment is the antithesis to the Tree Bicycle Co. headquarters in Potosi, Missouri. Potosi, population 2,698, is a two hour drive south of St. Louis, and about six miles east of the Mark Twain National Forest. The wooded bluffs, peppered with livestock, tractors, and Confederate flag bumper stickers, surround Tree owner Sam Schulte’s home, a glorified tent with plumbing and heating fashioned after the yurt, a traditional home of Central Asian nomads. Within the 30″ diameter wooden and canvas structure, the bulk of Tree’s labor is carried out by Sam and sales manager, Joe Montgomery.
A couple months ago I captured a typical day in the life at the atypical Tree Bicycle Co., which involves a dip in the pond, a stroll through the garden and a raw chicken dinner. Sam also breaks down the recently introduced Blue, Green, and Brown product lines.” – Bink Seavey / ESPN
