Congrats to Wiz and his lady dMarie for getting engaged. I’m sure that wedding is going to be a wild time. This also means 4 out of 5 of the original Orchid riders have gotten hitched. So much for the myth that BMX can’t get you laid. Could Beringer be next? Only time will tell…
We’re proud to announce that Brian Hunt will be kickin’ it on the Orchid pro team for 2009. Brian is such a rad dude, honestly this should have happened a year ago. Hell, he should have been bumped up for sending us these photos alone. We’re looking forward to working closer with Brian on future projects. Here’s a few new flicks from Rye Airfield and you can check out an interview with Brian on our team page. Welcome to the bigtime brother.
UK Orchid rider Matt Roe putting some Van Casuals to the test. Mutiny.
The other KP, Karl Poynter, made this edit with Shane Weston. These guys make riding look so easy. We recently started flowing Karl some shoes but I think this was filmed before then.
Randy Brown has a bike check over on Ride. Randy also has an S&M signature frame in the works as well as a signature shoe coming out in the Spring. Blowin’ up…
Mike Osso is in Shanghai China right now working on a new line of Animal stuffed animals. It’s about time somebody made a quality stuffed animal in bmx. Check out the Animal site for more photos and daily updates from the far east.
EDIT: There’s more photos up from day 2 including a bunch of Mr. Osso street riding in downtown Shanghai.
I always rejoice when new Big Daddy footage comes out. This one is edited to a rap by Daddy himself. Sheer genius! Via The Marination Bracket.
Also, this is how a bike check is done. Sorry Dave Mirra.
Here’s a preview of Matt Beringer’s new Cobra Synth shoe. This is a synthetic version of his model coming out for Spring 2009. This color is called granite. Click here to enlarge.
This vid is entertaining and makes me wish it wasn’t 20 degrees out. Wiz has some clips in here about 6 minutes in. Osso is in here with some gnarly trail action too. Yeah!
The always creative Kevin Porter and his welcome to UGP split part with Jeff K.
