Daniel Johnson Bike Check
Our boy Daniel Johnson down in Australia is always getting himself into something new. The other week it was announced that he had switched things up and joined the Cult family. Obviously this meant he was building up a brand new bike, so we figured it was time to ask a few questions and get a closer look at this dialed unit of his. Let’s take a closer look at his fresh setup and see what he had to say!

Through The Lens: Making Moves with Broc Raiford
What would you do to follow your dreams? Would you wake up one morning and plan a move across the country? Would you leave home in hopes of pursuing a career doing what you love? Well, regardless of what you may or may not do, while you are still sitting there thinking about it there are people out there like Broc Raiford making moves. I’ve been doing this whole thing long enough now to where I have seen riders go from young up-and-comers just trying to make a name for themselves to some of the top pros in the game. Broc is on his way to fitting himself into that category. His bike control is blatantly obvious when he rides and he has the type of personality that will take him far. He recently made the move out West to California in hopes of pushing his BMX riding to a new level and I have absolutely no doubt that being here will do just that. He knows what he wants out of life, has the work ethic that it takes to be successful and did I mention that he kills it on a bike? Get familiar with Broc, find out about the move, and see what he has planned for the rest of the year and more right here.

Etnies – Journey to the Soles of Skid Row’s Homeless
Every year, Etnies gives away 2,000 pairs of shoes to the less fortunate in Los Angeles. The annual event went down again for the 16th year this past weekend with the help of BMX’s Nathan Williams, Tom Dugan and Ben Lewis. Check out the video giving you a look at how the day went down. Always good to see somebody in a rough place smile.
“For 16 years etnies owner and CEO Pierre-Andre Senizergues has inspired his staff, pro riders, family and friends to head to L.A.’s Skid Row and rally together at the Los Angeles Mission’s annual Easter event to donate shoes to the thousands of homeless living on the streets. Skid Row is a scary and tough place to survive without a home and the reality is the homeless wear their shoes around the clock to keep their feet protected and warm. Each year etnies has the pleasure to personally witness the pure joy and relief a new pair of shoes brings to the lives of those less fortunate. etnies would like to share that experience with the world. Here is etnies’ Journey to the Soles of Skid Row’s Homeless. Featuring Pierre-Andre Senizergues, Ryan Sheckler, Cairo Foster, Nathan Williams, Ben Lewis, Tom Dugan and Levi Sherwood.“
