These things are called shoe trees and they pop up at FDR all the time. I was psyched to see a pair of Orchids in this one. I thought I’d throw this photo up here to keep this from being a completely blogless week. A lot of stuff going on around here right now. More news next week and possibly a new web vid if it’s done in time…
The dudes at libertyskate.com were cool enough to come and set up a mini ramp for our July 4th party. With all the X-Games hype going around, I thought this would be a good time to thank them. Watch summer X, get stoked, then order up a ramp for your backyard. The transitions on these bad boys are all perfect because they’re cut with a CNC machine. Big Daddy said it was the most fun he had on a mini ramp in a long time (he even flaired the thing and it’s only 4′ tall). They have a couple of different models available so check em out.
PS: I also grabbed this photo of Gannwear mackin it from their website, haha…
Trails in Philadelphia? 2 minutes from the art museum? Sounds cool. Hit up Ed at emy111@gmail.com for directions if you want to shred.
Yep. THAT Matt, the LORD, and Niki Croft. Legendary status.
Here’s an edit our boys Dan Conway and Brendon Reith made for Fit. Hit play and don’t forget to wipe your mouth when you’re finished (drool may linger).
Thanks to Alex Delgado for this lovely piece of Orchid fan art. This was hand painted on a 6′ x 6′ canvas, it’s truly stunning in person. This thumbnail really does it no justice. It’s going up for sale on Ebay later today, should we start the bidding at $20,000.00?
Our homeboy Larry Rhodes put this edit together for ESPN. Features a bunch of local talent. Yeah!
Owain Clegg (long time UK Orchid rider) and Robin Fenlon (former Orchid rider haha) came through with this sweet weekend edit. Courtesy of Ride UK.
If you’re on the East Coast I hope you’re planning an epic week of bmx, because Mother Nature finally decided to take a long vacation. This is what we’ve been waiting for all summer, so make the most of it. You know what season is coming next.
Bonus survival tip: don’t forget to bring a flannel shirt, you may need it at night.
Brian Hunt is currently chillin in Tennessee. Here’s a quick pic from down there. Also, I threw his ESPN web video in here because I wanted to watch it again. It’s one of my favorite “web videos”, edited by the legendary Stew Johnson earlier this year. Awesome!
