I’ve been riding a decent amount this year — obviously not as much as when I was a kid, but even a couple times a week is a lot more than I used to ride even a few years ago. My tricks might be old and out-of-date (much like myself) but they’re still fun!
I can’t believe it’s taken over two weeks for me to post about the King of Flatland 25th Anniversary Jam. It was such an amazing and fun day…but first a quick history. Twenty-five years ago the Cote family started the King of Flatland contest series in New Hampshire, and these contest were some of the …
On July 22 Rick MacDonald held another flatland contest in East Bridgewater, which was (as always) fun as hell. Well worth driving home from my vacation on the Cape to attend! If you can’t see the slideshow embedded above, you can view them right on Flickr. Also, check out some more photos from the contest …
Between 1987 and 1993 the Cote family held the King of Flatland contest series in New Hampshire. This year is the 25th anniversary of KOF, and to celebrate & remember the Cotes are having an anniversary jam on August 4 at Rye Airfield in New Hampshire. (Come if you can make it!) To commemorate this …
I’ve been wanting to do a quick video of what tricks I can still do, but shoot and edit it entirely on my iPhone. The first problem was finding a good iPhone tripod mount: there are a lot out there, but most require you to either take your iPhone out of its case or to …
I did some riding yesterday and shot some photos. Nice weather (once the sun came out and the wind died down) and good times — first time this year riding with everybody. Here’s a slideshow of some of the better shots: Or check out the photos directly on Flickr if you can’t view the slideshow above.
Maul’s Bike shop held their now-annual park contest at Skater’s Edge in Taunton, MA, and I was there to shoot some photos. It’s always good to see so many riders in one place, and as usual I was impressed by the level of riding going down. If you’re on a non-Flash-friendly device, here’s a link …
Way back in 1987, freestyle was pretty big and many bike companies sent their freestyle teams across to country to perform for kids. They were always so much fun, seeing the riders you only saw in magazines riding right before your eyes! And it was a way to see new tricks — ah, the pre-internet …
Way back in the 1980s, my brother and a couple friends started a BMX `zine. It focused on the New England riding scene at the time, and evolved and grew over the years. I made a lot of friends and learned a lot about design and writing, but after 18 issues of Radazine and 9 …
Being old and out of touch with the BMX world, I’ve never heard of Mark Webb. But after watching this video, I’m convinced he’s gotta be the best rider around. Any one of these tricks could be amazing “video-enders”; I’m not totally convinced that all of these tricks are possible (even though I’ve watching it …
