This past weekend, some of The Daily Grind crew loaded up and made their way to Atlanta, Georgia to check out the spots, have guns pulled, turn down some prostitutes and get loose! Check out this dialed video featuring Ryan Howard, Gremlin, Tony Cherry, Greg Goldberg, Zack Gerber and Scott Steele crushing spots and cooking up some heavy hangovers. This is one video you won’t want to miss!
Filmed and edited by Tony Cherry
Profile Racing just got in a few new items! Above is a look at their new leather belts that James Covington has made for them. They also have new beanies, some retro Lockjaw stems and Wolf Brand shirts in stock! Click here to check it all out!
Florent Soulas has been doing it for Fit Bike Co. for a while now, but they have decided it is time to bump him up and give him the full team treatment. I’d imagine this means we will be seeing plenty from the guy this coming year which is going to kick a lot of ass!
Subrosa has released Hoang Trans section from the “Get Used To It” DVD for your viewing pleasure! This video part was nominated for video part of the year, so you already know it’s amazing. Hit that play button now!
“Being a part of Subrosa since it’s creation in 2006 Hoang Tran had a lot of time to work hard on his video part, and that’s just what he did. Meticulously, scouring the globe for the just the right spots to release a brutal beat down on.
His hard work and talent payed of with a top 5 nomination from Ride Magazine for Nora Cup “Video Part of the Year”! An award voted on by industry members, his peers, and fellow pro riders, a nomination alone is a massive achievement! Everyone at Subrosa is extremely proud of Hoang for this.
Hoang’s footage, and his desire to have “the best damn time with his best damn friends” shines through in his part, and easily earned him the sought after last section.
There’s a pretty awesome story when it came to the music for Hoang’s section. Hoang wanted to use the song “Race With the Devil” from Gun. For “Get Used To It” we wanted to work with various artists and labels to clear all the music. A few emails later, we received a phone call from Paul Gurvitz, one of the founding members of Gun. We had never attempted to clear music before, and Paul actually took the time to help explain to us the different ways songs could be owned, bought, licensed or in this case re-recorded.
Yes, that right, Paul Gurvitz actually recreated the track in it’s entirety specifically for our video and Hoang’s section! I could be wrong, but I think Get Used To It is the only video that can claim that.
A huge thanks to Paul Gurvitz. Check him out at

“We got an amazing response after our first collab colorway hit, so we defiantly had to do another. No better time than while filming for our first full length video, Kings Reign. We had a lot of ideas but had to go with the matte style trans black, looks good with everything. The frame comes in the B-boy and Stone Cold models offered by Cult. Available in sizes 20.5, 20.75, 21 and 21.25. Steven grabbed a B-boy and Josh a Stone Cold. The frames are American made with pride and dialed. For info on the frames check out Kingsrideshop.com or give us a call. 760.568.5464.
We want to say thanks to Cult for the opportunity to come out with another series of Kings colorways and to everyone involved with the projects going on at Kings.”
Here’s a little gem I spotted over on The Merged! This red fade color way on Subrosa‘s High Life top load stem will be hitting shops and mail-orders this spring! Who’s getting one?

This month I hit the two-year mark as a freelance photographer after almost five years straight of working for a magazine full-time, as a salaried photographer/assistant editor and it’s been one hell of a ride so far. I seem to always have this discussion with people and it’s interesting to hear everyone’s varying opinions on the subject of freelance vs. the daily grind. This very column is one of the best parts of working for myself and has been since TTL number one. Now for those of you out there working a 9-5 I have nothing against that lifestyle. If it’s paying the bills and helping you maintain your current situation then I say go for it. There is something about creating that I am addicted to. Whether it’s shooting a photograph, or writing a 4,000-word story I seem to have the need to constantly be working and moving forward. I decided to take a little bit of time and reflect on the differences between the two, and the ups and downs of both since I feel at this point I have seen from both perspectives.
