Bestwick Takes 2nd!

August 25th, 2008

Jamie came in 2nd place at Portland! That may lead you to believe—quite foolishly—that he gave one up to Kagy, but lemme stop you right there. Kagy's been after Bestwick's #1 spot since the first Dew Tour stop of '08, and our boy came out swinging! He's still sitting in 1st place for overall points and he'll no doubt go big to solidify that hold. Look out for Jamie at the next Dew Tour stop in Salt Lake City. As the Bestwick-Kagy battle continues, this next one's sure to be sick.

New Road Fools Trailer!

August 25th, 2008

Hop on the bus with 13 of the world's most talented BMX riders as we trek across the desert of the Southwestern United States in search of the best riding spots this hell on earth has to offer—plentiful street spots, unreal cement parks, backyard ramps, and merciless heat are all on the agenda... after we do some push-ups and fill out the police report for all of the stolen goods from the motel. Join the crew as we hit up Phoenix, Tucson and San Diego in 110 degree heat that never lets up but doesn't even begin to slow down this crew.

Levis Demo!

August 10th, 2008

Some of our boys did a Levis demo today in Irvine, California. And that's one of the best parts about living out here. You get to see premium riding from the best dudes... all the time. Makes you wonder why more people aren't rushing out to California, huh? Anyway, Jamie, Morgan & Brett ripped, as did the rest of the Levis crew. Over the course of the day the team did four demos and signings, all with hundreds of stoked civilians watching. Safe to say everyone had a great day. Thanks guys!

A. Ross Bike Check!

August 8th, 2008

Aaron Ross may just be a little more complex a character than you know. Consider this:

"Explain how you were afraid you weren’t going to like your signature frame because you got used to a different frame.
When I first got on Sunday it took me a while to get used to the new bike because the bike that I rode for so long before that was so different. So when I was designing my bike I was so pumped to get a bike I knew I liked. During the last few months that I’ve been waiting for my frame to be finished I’ve gotten used to the Sunday bike I first started riding and I liked it for a bunch of features that my bike wasn’t going to have. So I was worried that I wasn’t going to like my frame once I got it because I thought all the things I once liked a lot where going to be things I hated now. Once I put it all together it was the best thing ever—it feels amazing for manuals. Like I said, I was just scared that all the things I always liked I would not like anymore, but once I got back on to the bike that I always liked it all came right back and was perfect."

Valid concerns voiced so simply, then laid to rest by his very own signature frame... want more insights? It's all there for you in his Ride BMX Bike Check.
