I just gave my bike a new look along with some new Shadow goods. I had my current frame, fork, and bars sand blasted and then added some new Shadow parts including the new Shadow Stun rims, Shadow plastic pedals that will out soon, grey Shadow Little One pegs, Shadow Seth Kimbrough grips, and white Shadow Interlock V2 chain. I also did a lot of custom work with the new Shadow stickers. Check out the photo with the close up of my rims and cranks. I'll be heading to England for the Brighton Ain't Ready project in a couple of days. I'll have an update with photos as soon as I'm back!

What up to the Shadow crew. I was just at the Fise contest in the south of France and the contest was AWSOME!

Alistair Whitton was here and his riding was huge! He took 3rd place in mini ramp and finalist in park.

It was amazing how many people were at this event. I hear it was 300,000 spectators all around the weekend came to see the contest.

The Finals were crazy and the crowd was incredible.

Have a good week.

SACK UP, this is the quote of the Shadow trip. Word on the streets is that team SACK UP has a few members which I can't reveal yet, but you will find out one day soon.

We are all chilling in a sweet house in New Mexico filming and shooting photos for the up coming Shadow DVD and Ride magazine feature.

We had an amazing week shredding schools, bombing ditches and just hanging out.
After the amazing session last night Johnny and I checked out girltalk. myspace.com/girltalkmusic which was playing live in the middle of a field, which was an epic way to finish to the day...well people SACK UP.....werd

P.S. Look for more updates about the trip form the crew!

Albuquerque Ain't Ready!!

The entire Shadow team just started our yearly vacation/ filming trip. We're out here filming for the new full length Shadow video, and getting the ads done. This is always one of my favorite trips of the year. Also, F.Y.I., the house were staying in looks like it belonged to an indian porn star coke dealer in 1985.

What it be...I was just down in Orlando for the Vans BMX camp and contest.

While there I had a blast as the Orlando scene is amazing. We hit up a few theme parks such as “Wet and Wild” and killed all the slides and rides!

Also, besides helping the riders at the camp, we judged the contest. The level of the local riders was truly unreal.

I wanted to give a big shoot out to Vans for hooking it up and mad respect to all the riders rocking Shadow, I saw all of you...cheers.
