There's a certian quality to Morgan's voice that's so soothing... so reminiscent of kindergarten story time. Makes me really wanna learn everything he knows. Teach us, Morgan... teach us and we'll happily MySpace you all about it.
Levi's and Tilly's have been hooking you up with demos and sweet giveaways. And now, on the Levi's/Tilly's table, is a TRIP FOR TWO to session an undisclosed park location WITH THE ONE AND ONLY MORGAN WADE.
Check the details and enter here.
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.
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.

Mutiny Bikes footage of Randy Taylor... fixing his hair and then layin' it down. So typical.
Holla atcha boy! Bestwick took some time to field questions from Vital BMX members... including one "BKachinsky" and some other names you might recognize. Good footage, good questions, good answers... all in a bloody good English accent. Cheers Jamie! Is Bob really your uncle and Fanny your aunt?
Jamie Bestwick makes good on his word. As promised, Jamie is donating a total of seven one-of-a-kind bikes—each ridden in a different competition—to be auctioned to benefit the Stephen Murray Fund. As the season rolls on, the remaining events include the rest of the Dew Tour stops and the LG World Championships. The latest bike to fetch the prettiest penny? Jamie's X Games 14 Gold Medal System Cycle just sold for $10k! $10,000! That's 10 zero zero zero dollars! Pretty damn impressive...
"Live fast, pedal faster." Closing statements from the one and only Josh Bedford. See what else he's got to say in his new interview and sick photos—which could very well speak for themselves—at BMX Union.
It's playtime for Brian Kachinsky! This weekend he'll join the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds Summer Session in Hamburg! Yeah, that's in Germany. Das ist gut!

Taj Mihelich's got a newish blog on the Transworld site. For a while it read, "This is the blog of professional BMX rider Taj Mihelich. Taj will be on here as soon as he gets his new computer and will post some very interesting things. Stay tuned…" The time slash new computer has come. Enjoy...
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!

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.
