Catty Jammin’.

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Marky T said the Catty Trail Jam is still on for tomorrow. They have a ton of products to raffle off including some Orchid shoes. They been putting in work to keep some stuff running, so hopefully the place won’t look like the photo above (sent in by Dale Standt). Get out there and show your support. They still have mad legal bills to pay off from their fight to keep the trails alive. But at least they won! Legal insured bmx trails, it’s a beautiful thing.

EDIT: Despite the rain the jam went off without a hitch. Photos on PA Woods.

Micky Marshall Photo Poach.

I just stole this rad photo of flow bro Micky Marshall from Louisiana BMX. Go read their blog so they think I’m a swell guy instead of a thief.

Chuck Biscuits Death Hoax?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Chuck Biscuits, perhaps my favorite drummer from the 80’s (besides Dave Lombardo of course) is being reported dead from throat cancer. It’s weird because I heard he was stabbed to death a couple of years ago. We even had an all Danzig day at the office in memorial and I was sad. Now it’s being reported that his most recent “death” is most likely a hoax. I really hope this dude is alive. Nobody can backhand the ride cymbal quite like Chuck. Seen @JaredSouney

Video: Van Homan in “Parts”.

I haven’t seen this video in years. Some classic riding from Van, but I don’t remember the music being so terribly awful. Turn down the volume, put on your own soundtrack and enjoy. Can you believe Van is going to be 30 in a month? Crazy. Seen on Duo.

Orchid Gn’R Contest Winners.

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

This wasn’t supposed to take so long, but here are the winners of our Orchid GnR Twitter Contest.

How many pair of Orchids did our friend Bob have to trade for this signed copy of Guns n’ Roses “Appetite for Destruction”?

CORRECT ANSWER: 2

Believe it or not there was only 1 correct answer submitted, so the shoe winner was clear. Congrats to Cory Beal. You won a free pair of Orchids. Repset! This was kind of a trick question, the guy wanted 3 pairs for the album but Bob convinced him the Little Devil shoes were worth the same as 2 pairs.

WINNERS:
Free shoes: Cory Beal @corybeal
Free apparel: Ben Ullman @budesigns
Free apparel: Justin Holt @justinholtweb
Free apparel: Andrew Anderson @expelled

Thanks for playing. Don’t forget to follow Orchid on Twitter.

Back On It.

Monday, October 26th, 2009

We’ve been out of the hardcore blogging scene for a few days now. Shoe mania week took it’s toll and I had to chill for a minute to regain my composure (managed a tweet or 2 but that’s about it). But I’m back on it this week. We have some good stuff coming, including a new video that kicks major ass. And we’re getting all the Twitter contest winners their stuff this week…haven’t forgotten about that either. For now here’s a video featuring Lloyd Wright, one of our UK riders.

I just realized that Niki Croft sent these photos over too. Does he ever stop being rad, even for a second? I don’t think so. Photos by Lloyd Wright.
