12 UNSEEN gems from California to Spain!

2 Jan 2020

Brandon Begin. Los Angeles, California. August 2019. Brandon filming for Scott Marceau's latest DVD project, AAngles. Look closely at Begin's front wheel...

Denim Cox. Barcelona, Spain. February 2019. The sunsets in Spain are some of the most impressive I've had the pleasure of witnessing... So when you can capture it in a photograph with one of your good friends doing an oppo hanger just at the right time, it's a thing of sure beauty!

Hobie Doan. Los Angeles, California. March 2019. Hobie has had one wild year, finding his new home with Kink bikes he seems to just be getting better and better! Get ready for Hobie in 2020!

Robbie Owen. Portland, Oregon. June 2019. The world is your playground.

Nate Richter. Los Angeles, California. July 2019. Nate Richter is always on his game and this year was no different... Opening his own bike shop, Golden Days Bike Shop in Long Beach, California and taking his riding career to new heights you can count on more from Nate this year!

Yumi Tsukda. Los Angeles, California. January 2019. Visiting the United States from Japan for his first time, Yumi reveals his unique style to the West Coast.

Alex Gonzales. Portland, Oregon. June 2019. Hailing from New Mexico, Alex Gonzales is a connoisseur of proper execution. This ally-oop whip to fakie on a famous PDX campus spot was a great recipe for this photo!

SwampFest. Astatula, Florida. April 2019. All I can say is... "You better make it to swampfest in 2020!"

Mauro Valencia. Barcelona, Spain. March 2019. Mauro is a BCN local and one of the PSHomies crew. The crew is always posted up at Parallel, the local spot for friends to meet up and chill out, before or after a good pedal.

Barcelona, Spain. March 2019. The crew is always thick when in Barcelona.

Trevor and Eddie. Barcelona, Spain. March, 2019. "Timing is everything!" It's always a pleasure when the timing works just perfectly, these two demonstrate what trails look like in the streets of BCN.

Mark Burnett. Barcelona, Spain. February 2019. Well this is probably one of the most F*%@# things I've seen all year! Mark shows us all what level he was on for the year as he gets this one within a few tries... Skinny ledge, 180 half cab to hanger pop over into a big bank! WTF!?
