2014 started off with a trip to New Zealand, and was one of the most amazing destinations I’ve ever been to (a feature article ran in the last print issue, #99). George Bolter is one of the many awesome natives I met and became friends with, and he’s a serious shredder too. Case in point- transfer from one side of the Lynfield Bowl to the other.
I met Canadian Wade Lajlar during a trip to Guadalajara, Mexico back in 2007. I didn’t see Wade again until this spring, seven years later in—you guessed it—Guadalajara, Mexico. We celebrated the reunion by cruising some downright amazing random spots, like this ditch half. Here’s to hoping it’s a little sooner than another seven before I cruise with Wade again.
Dinnertime on the NYC subway. When the sun is setting early, the Winter Solstice along with cold temps have arrived, and you're hungry as shit, sometimes it’s the best place to eat.
Traveling to Buga, Colombia, with Mark Mulville this year was eye-opening, to say the least. The Cali/ Buga areas of Colombia host some incredible trails talent. It’s amazing to see how many awesome riders are in Colombia, many riding bikes and parts handed down ten times over, and in some cases re-welded multiple times over. Not to mention the trails we rode were pretty damn fun also. Mr. Mulville, enjoying some of the clay offerings in Cali.
Portland, Oregon, is one of the best U.S. destinations in the summertime, hands down. When the opportunity to go arises, I’m always on it. This place is one of the reasons why; Chester Blacksmith has known this for years.
Steven Hamilton, late night Bronx mission during one of his summertime stays in the tri-state area.
Chris Morse, aka Snotty, meatloaf-ing at one of the most amazing backyard bowls, in between commuting from Portland to Corvallis for work.
When not cheering on his bro Ryan competing in Dew Tour Street comps, Joe Niranonta takes his outrageously high hopping ability to the NYC streets.
After years of always saying I need to spend some time in Melbourne, Australia, it finally happened the first week of 2014 with Max Gaertig, who’s made it his winter vacation spot for the past few years. Melbourne didn’t let me down. Local Adam Stone makes some pretty amazing sculptures, and he can click a mean turndown.
Hands off, shoes up. The legend himself, Ben “Twin Fin” McEwen. If only that Burnside concrete could talk…
Lazy summer days. During one of my frequent trips to NYC this summer, Jeff Z. was shooting Nigel Sylvester’s Ride interview. Here’s a behind the scenes pic of Nigel’s feeble to hard 180 bar.
Eric Hennessey has been on the never-ending trails summer program for a minute. Tree downside footplant at a spot thtat's not a far drive from the parked bus Henney calls home.
Zach Krejmas is the hard-working man behind all the Ride BMX edits. Zach, taking a break from one side of the lens to star in front of the other, with a rail hop into a storm door in Brooklyn for the upcoming Doorstep video.
The irony. One of the funnest pool sessions of the year went down earlier this day, and yards from this DIY quarter, thanks to Russ Barone and his rented water pump. All this was going on while Mark Gralla discovered he may actually be immune to poison ivy.
Bike shadows and old ‘crete. Sunset session at what may be the most bizarre concrete park I’ve ever ridden, in New Zealand. Happy 2015, everyone!
