This contest is looking like it’s gonna be a lot of fun, I’m pumped for it.

Shea’s Back!!!!

Shea Nyquist came back to Greenville to visit for about a week. He even brought the tall bike and showed why he just might be one of the best bicycle riders in the world. I’m sure there will be a video soon of all the stuff he did while he was here.

More Bike Pranks

I can’t take credit for this one, but I do enjoy it. The 16 inch bikes that have been sitting around finally got used for something.

Well, at least the wheels did.

East Coast Rockstar Riders

A bunch of guys in Greenville who are on Rockstar, filmed a little video and alistair whitton edited it all up. It turned out pretty cool.

Trampoline Fun

It’s been getting nice out and the trampoline has been getting sessioned regularly. We seem to have quite the collection of trampoline toys. Wake Skates, skate boards, tramp bikes and even regular bikes from time to time. Jordan Vilonna took the time to take a photo of some of the fun. He also just got his website going, it’s definitely worth checking out. www.chkchkphoto.com

I just drank a Rockstar and I’m freaking out.

Hope these dudes don’t mind heights.

Summertime is Coming, to The Docks We Will Go.

It’s getting warm which means trips to the beach will be happening soon. ”The Docks,” as they’ve come to be called, are on the way to the beach from Greenville. It’s a wild setup that consists of rope swings, zip lines and just tall things to jump off of.

Here’s a little video of some Greenville guys doing moves.

Enjoy.

BMX Grub

I feel like most people know about this already, but I just found out and I’m psyched on it.

There’s an app for iPhones called BMX Grub. It puts pretty much any BMX site at the tip of your fingers. It’s free and it even has a Stephen Murray Family Fund section to it. Now I can sit in class and read thecomeup at the same time.

Below is a screen shot from my phone.

More from the GoPro Camera

Alistair Whitton’s GoPro Camera has a baby death lens on it and he did a bit of filming with it pointed at himself while he cruised around the unit. The footage is pretty cool.

Enjoy.

You know you live in a BMX town when. . .

You seen signs stickered up like this one.

Sunday Bikes is psyched.

I wonder if this actually confuses any non-BMX people around town.
