“The Colony team looked like they were having a fun time in California every time we crossed paths on their epic trip that just went down so we sat them down to talk to the Aussie visitors about their Golden State experience. Check out what Tom Stretton, Peta Shepherd, and Cooper Brownlee think about California and how their trip went.” – Ride BMX

Midget Cory and Arash Saidi Edit
“Midget” Cory Walters and Arrash Saidi love riding jumps more than almost anyone I know and have been hitting us up for a bit now to join them for a day at the dubs to shoot some photos and video. With Cory’s wild take on BMX and Saidi’s natural style, staff photographer Jeff Zielinski and myself joined S&M’s dirt loving duo for a fun time at an undisclosed location in California for a rad day in the sun. Once we got out there, we met young gun Oscar Maldonado who could seemingly trick whatever jump he wanted with good style and Leslie Betley, who sent some solid backflips and 360s throughout the day. All in all, this was a super fun session and one of my favorite Monday Edits in a while–check it out above. Thanks to Arrash for hooking it up with Tyranis and their music for a soundtrack–those guys rip just as hard as the riders.” – Ride BMX

Central Florida’s Finest
“Ride video contributor Brett Rohlfing had to stay off of his bike for the majority of 2011 and some of this year due to a fractured vertebra and herniated disc. This left him with a lot of spare time to film. Throughout the year he found his way to Tampa on a few occasions to film with Matos Goowin, Tom Villarreal and Chris Schuster. He also picked up a few clips in Orlando and Merritt Island, and racked up some quality footage with Ryan Flesch all the way on the other coast of Florida in Daytona Beach. Here is a look at some of Central Florida’s best, from West to East.” – Ride BMX
