Tom @ Empire just sent us an e-mail letting us know that Tom Dugan is now officially on the Empire stunter crew. Considering they don’t add new riders to their team very often, this is pretty big news. Plus, it also means that Dugan’s going to have lots of clips in their upcoming video as well! Here’s what Tom had to say about Dugan:

ahhhh, Mr Dugan. we only met this wildman in the last few years, but he has proven to be an interesting dude, and we dig him. plus, anyone that comes highly recommended by Joe Rich automatically gets the seal of approval from us. easy as, as they say. yeah yeah, you have heard all about the water thing, Dr Pepper, etc. the only liquid we require that he bathe in is the sweat that comes from filming with Diamond Dave, and Dugan has been taking care of business on that front, 100%. Tom gets support from Terrible One, Odyssey, and Etnies. holler at Cody Nutter for the sequence.

Aside from the news of Dugan getting added to the team, Tom also sent over some discount codes that you can use on EmpireBMX.com!

ESPN did a pretty rad BMX Artifacts feature on Mike Ardelean recently. It’s a two part video interview where he talks about his history in BMX and the trials and tribulations of being a pro. You can watch part one above and part two’s below!
