The five people I am going to mention are here because they, to me at least, defined BMX freestyle for myself and the people I knew in New Jersey during its infancy. I have had MANY BMX friends over the years and they have all influenced me in many ways, and if not influenced actually […]
An alumni of the old Ramp-Ateria, NJFL, TC Cycles era, Brian Tunney has started a “50 BMX Riders from New Jersey” set of articles on his blog site, assblasters.org. Included in his first ten are some pretty heavy hitters on the NJ scene in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It’s a good read and strangely […]
When I came back on the scene in 2005 I noticed a new guy that I had never seen before out there running around taking care of business in the area that I grew up in. That guy was Aaron Graf. Now I had heard of Steve Wisbeski, but Aaron was a mystery to me as […]
A year ago I was covering one of the many Hackettstown events and noticed this huge dude shredding on the BMX. He seemed like a decent enough guy and after slamming his knee into the side of one of the ramps and stepping out of the comp so he wouldn’t stress the injury, I struck […]
What can I say about the one and only Stauffer? First I’ll start with just saying how honored I am to write this. Now that that’s out of the way, I guess I’ll start with the background. The first time I met the kid was a late night Somerville session and he offered to drive […]
Part owner of Grove Street Bicycles, Rodney Morweiser, has been riding and fixing bikes longer than I’ve been alive. So, I figured I would shed some light on what he is riding these days. Check it out after the jump. Beware: the paint job might bring back acid flashbacks.
This is the bike check that never happened for Eric Marion, shredder for the Efinger’s Bmx Team. There are many reasons for this never happened. First of all, it was the dead of winter when I asked him at a local hardcore show. So I could imagine him not wanting to go outside and take […]
Brother to Pro rider Darryl Tocco, Brett is a mad man on his bike and is making quite a name for himself. He rips at street and park. First time I met the kid, he hopped onto the planter in Deiner Park and whipped off it, first try. First try, who does that? It was […]
Dane Beardsley is a one of a kind person. I don’t know him personally, but from his videos that he has made, (Same Thing Daily, Video Name, and FlatCrap), his riding, and his little tidbits on his blog, www.samethingdaily.blogspot.com, I know he is a real down to earth person and knows how to keep it […]
Diego Tejada is from the great state of Texas and is absolutely killing it right now in the Texas scene. With sponsors like Sequence and the BYKE Project, he is well on his was to becoming possibly America’s next top Pro. I was always fond of his riding and figured it would be a great […]
