On The Horizon: Subrosa

I’ve been getting quite a few requests to do these “On The Horizon” pieces again, so I’m on it. Subrosa has been in the game for a few years now and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down. Ryan Sher has been keeping busy with everything, and I figure it was time to get the low down on what they have going on. Check out some words from Ryan along with some photos.

Banned 3 Review

I had been hearing all these ridiculous things about the Banned 3 video and figured I better check this out. I knew the guys involved with the video were crazy and could party harder than this guy, so I had accepted I was going to see horrible things…. This is what I thought.

Dew Tour Photos 3

Here are the photos I didn’t use on Dig from the third day of the Dew Tour. This is the final day and quite the experience. I won’t lie, I am not a very good photographer. I had never shot an event like the Dew Tour before, and definitely not a vert contest before. I think as time goes on things might get better, but I don’t want people to get the impression that I think I am awesome. As time goes on, I hope I become awesome. So check out the photos, feel free to leave comments. I’ll take some critiques too but I may have valid reasons. At least for the vert haha.


Brian Kachinsky had a autograph signing for Action Village in the morning of the third day. I didn’t have anything to do so I came and hung out with him. Brian signed a poster for me with Vikings x’ed out. He’s from Wisconsin, and I am from Minnesota. So we got a bit of Vikings Packers rivalry. I shut him down when I asked him how he felt about Brett Favre playing for the Vikings this year. Brian is still the man though!

CB Coombs Interview

Its weird how BMX is. I remember being really stoked on the videos CB was posting on Bike Guide years back. We didn’t really ever talk very much on there or anything, but now its different. CB has really done a good job of keeping the video ass kicking game going with the AOTC videos him and Chris Z have been putting together. I had been talking to him a bunch lately about all the AOTC stuff and figured it would be a good idea to do an interview with him. It probably should have been done a while ago, but it’s done now. So check out what he has to say, the photos, and videos. Don’t forget to leave him some love in the comments too!

Chicago Dew Tour Photos 2

Here are some of the photos from the second day of the Dew Tour that I didn’t use over on Dig. These are some of the park prelim photos, and Dirt finals photos. There were quite a few “good” photos that I had to choose from to use for the Dig site, and even more I can use here. So check them out, leave some comments, and hopefully you are into a few of them.


One of my favorite photos from the day was this photo of Rob Darden doing this one hand table. He went down on the first one and it was rough, but his second was better.

Chicago Dew Tour Photos

I spent the last few days down in Chicago hanging out shooting photos and what not at the Chicago Dew Tour. I made a few daily updates on the Dig site incase you missed that. Day One | Day Two | Day Three. I just posted a few photos and some words and the places people got over there. I figured since I have a bunch of other photos left over that I might as well post. Some of them are a little blurry since its fairly hard keeping up with the guys hauling ass around the park. I’ll try and put a few captions in to explain some of the photos too. This will get broken down into 3 parts since it was 3 days and I had close to 150 photos that were fairly decent. So check them out and feel free to leave some comments.

Osiris Chino Mid & Diablo Review

When Osiris brought back their BMX program I took some notice of their shoes for the first time in a while. I guess I’ve always felt like if a company didn’t have a BMX team, I couldn’t see myself riding their product. Kyle Carlson, the Team Manager for Osiris now, had asked if I was into any of their Spring 2009 line. After trying out mid-tops for the first time on my last pair of shoes, I figured I’d give theirs (Chino Mids) a shot. When they showed up I was stoked to see an extra pair of their Diablo’s in the box also. So, here is what I thought! First, a look at the shoes in this video I pulled together…

Success

If you saw my blog post about trails below… you would have read that we were getting some heat from the cops and city. I’m not sure if me emailing the mayor directly or not had anything to do with it, but apparently something happened.
Stoked. Check out the full letter left at the trails for us.

Trails Addiction

I figure it’s about time I do another blog post… I really don’t know where this is going, but either way you can see some shots of the trails I’ve been building along side a real good crew of guys who like throw dirt around. My reason for this is the question how does trails become an addiction and what happens when something attempts to get in the way of it?

Craig Passero Interview

I’m not going to lie, if you haven’t heard of Craig yet… you should be slapped. Craig has been impressing me with his web videos for the last two years or so, and his recent part in the AOTC was about the opposite of the Holocaust. Okay, I may have gone real far there but yeah. Craig kills it on a bike and definitely deserved this interview. Check out what he has to say, some photos, web videos, and then leave him some love in the comments!
