Quicky: Brian Hunt

June 18, 2012

Brian Hunt BMX

Brian is one of those guys that no matter the situation, he’s got a really positive attitude and a smile on his face. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to hang out with him a bunch of times and I can’t remember a single time I’ve never seen him not excited about whatever it is he’s doing. Things headed a little south for him at the Asian X-Games a few weeks back and he’s been healing up from shoulder surgery. We figured it would be a good time to fill up some of his free time and find out what he has been doing lately. Surprisingly enough, it looks like he’s been making the best of the situation and it hasn’t been getting him down! Check it!

Name: Brian Christopher Hunt

Orchid dropped another sneak peek shot of their Origin shoe due out this summer. Freshhhh.

“Here’s our new Origin shoe in warm gray suede, or taupe as it’s sometimes known. It’s a nice earthy color that seems to go with everything and hides dirt really well. Combined with our original gum sole and suede upper, these shoes are going to be hard to kill. Coming this summer.”

Sneak Peek: Orchid Origin Shoe

March 17, 2012

I’ve been real stoked on how the new Orchid shoes are coming out. Here’s a sneak peek look at their Origin shoe.

“This is The Origin, our new model with a classic look and feel. Our original gum sole with a a black suede upper, you can’t go wrong here. These shoes are comfortable and they’ll take a beating. Plus sales from this shoe are going toward another Footwork style video that we’ll be releasing online. Coming summer 2012.”

Sneak Peek: Orchid The Shovel Shoe

Dialed shoe and a good cause!

“ Here’s a sneak peek of our new shoe model, The Shovel, in Catty Brown. The color is named after the infamous Catty Trails where we are donating a percentage of the profits. This shoe is a lowtop featuring a brown suede upper and a natural gum sole. They’re the perfect shoes for trail season and summer riding in general.” – Orchid

Sneak Peek: Orchid Cobra II Shoes

March 12, 2012

Orchid dropped this sneak peek of Matt Beringer’s new signature Cobra II shoe in the Blue Groove colorway. These should be coming through soon. Here’s a few words from Derek Adams about the shoe.

“2012 samples are here. Shoe photos are happening now, here’s the first off the line. This is Matt Beringer’s new shoe, The Cobra 2. The color is called “blue groove” which is also the name for the hard packed line that forms in a dirt jump after it’s been ridden a lot. Beringer knows a little something about that since his backyard is a giant dirt playground. I got a chance to watch Killjoy recently and it’s apparent that Matt’s creative style of riding has rubbed off on the entire Utah scene. Every one of those dudes does kooky stuff, which is entirely entertaining and inspiring at the same time. Keep bmx weird!”
