Bruno Hoffmann Interview
Over the last few years, Bruno has been developing into an insanely talented rider. Every time I see footage of him, it’s way better than the last time and it doesn’t look like he’s slowing down anytime soon. After recently joining the Federal and Cinema teams and even getting his own Red Bull case, I figured it was time to finally get Bruno an interview. Let’s find out what he had to say along with some photos courtesy of Tobias Paul…

Ty Morrow Leaves Federal for Fiend
Ty Morrow has parted way with Federal to ride for Fiend, which I’m assuming is Garrett Reynolds’ new brand he is starting.
“So the time has come to announce that Ty is moving on from Federal to new things. Obviously we’re pretty bummed but can understand Ty’s desire to go and be part of something his best friend is starting, as a result we only wish him the best in his future endeavors. We’d like to take the opportunity to publicly say thanks to Ty for all he’s done for Federal over the last 2 years and good luck with the next chapter.” – Federal

Jordan “Hyper J” Aleppo is the newest addition to the Federal flow team. Take a look at his welcome edit above. This dude kills it.
Steven Hamilton Bike Check
Federal posted up this above photo, and a sketchy cell phone photo of his bike. Normally, I wouldn’t bother posting something like this. But after my life changing experience of meeting Mr. Hamilton last summer, I can fully understand why this counts. Hit the Federal site to check out his bike.
