Kenneth Tencio – Early 2015 Edit

February 13, 2015

Ohhhh myyyyy BANGERS! Kenneth Tencio just dropped his first video of 2015 and it’s absolutely insane. Everything from a flair drop in on a MEGA RAMP quarter to flair double whips and more. You gotta see this because it will leave you completely mind blown! Hell yeah, Kenneth!

“Thinking about three years back, when my friends helped me to film, and myself without any knowledge to edit, I just to do my videos, this year I want to start retaking my sketchy skills for edit videos, with these clips from end of 2014 and beginning of 2015, I hope everyone will enjoy it,I had intended to shoot more, but has been somewhat difficult, so I keep some surprises for the next one.
Thanks to Sebastian Smith, Lou Uba, Nelson Roque and everyone who help me shooting ”

Product: Etnies – Chase Hawk Signature Jameson MT

February 12, 2015

Is it time for some new shoes? We were due for a new pair and started looking around to realize that Chase Hawk has a new signature from Etnies out, which is his second signature shoe from them! Some of you might have seen his signature Marana that dropped a little while back but might not have been feeling the red colorway it came in. For this version, Etnies and Chase have gone with a clean and classic black using the Jameson MT for the style! If you’re digging the look of these, take a closer look after the jump for more photos and full details!

Dan Conway Interview

February 11, 2015

Photo: Ryan Chadwick

When we think about riders that have really blown up over the past year or so, there’s no denying that Dan Conway is one guy who has been on everyones radar as of late. Dan has been crushing it for years and it seems like he’s finally been given the opportunity to really show everyone just how good he really is now that he’s on the Fit Bike Co. Pro team and The Daily Grind! We have always wondered what this guy was all about and with him having some down time healing up from a shoulder injury, we figured it would be the perfect time to hit him with a bunch of questions! Let’s get to know this savage a little better!

Name: Dan Conway

Rest In Peace, Dominic Trovato

February 11, 2015

It’s never easy waking up to news that a friend had passed away. This morning was definitely a rough one when we learned that Midwest BMX legend and all around good dude Dominic Trovato had passed. We don’t know the exact details as to what happened but it sounds like he went peacefully in his sleep.
Dominic was a huge driving force behind the Midwest scene in the early 2000’s with the Midwest BMX website that him and Jeff Klugiewicz ran. That site, and Dom, was a huge inspiration to me and a part of what got me so into doing websites (which is a part of why The Union is here today). Not only that, but Dom was one hell of a rider and one of the finest to come out of the Midwest. Although he didn’t ride as much these days, we always heard rumors that he would show up to a session and crush it like he had been riding every day. Dom had natural talent and was one amazing guy off the bike.
Everyone will miss him greatly and he will never be forgotten… Ride in Peace, Dom!

Here is an interview we did with him back in 2009 — Dom Trovato Interview

UPDATE: Matt Hubbell has setup a Dominic Trovato Memorial Fund to help raise funds to cover memorial costs and to help Dom’s family out with everything. If you have a few dollars to spare, please donate!

Above is his section from the Shook video “The Great Eviction”.

Edit: Props uploaded this crazy clip of Dominic from the Rock ‘N Roll Tour a few years back as well. Absolute legend.

The Union Winter Session 2015

February 10, 2015

TheUnion_winter-session-3-600x

The past few years we have partnered up with Over The Top Skatepark here in Minnesota to throw our annual BV JAM that has always been a good time! After doing contests for the last few, we decided to mix things up a bit and just throw a massive session at the park as an excuse to get everyone together to ride, have a good time and get hooked up with a ton of FREE product from our sponsors!

THIS IS NOT A CONTEST

The Union Winter Jam is going down February 14th from Noon – 8PM! It’ll be $10 at the door like a normal session! The main goal of this is to get everyone together to ride and have a fun session since it’s pretty hard to get motivated when the wind chill is -35 degrees like it has been a few times this winter! We’ll be throwing different mini jams throughout the day like a rail jam, best trick on different setups, foot down, longest skid, the vert wall sticker challenge and more to win product! Also, we’ll be doing a big product toss at the end with everything we don’t give away throughout the day!

So, if you’re looking for a good time. Get to Over the Top Skatepark at Bluff Valley Campground in Zumbro Falls, Minnesota on February 14th! We promise it will be a good time!

HUGE shout out to all the sponsors for this year to help us make this happen! We want this to be the biggest session to go down this winter!
