Some of my friends and I decided to start the week out with a session around the Carmel, IN area. I managed to snag a couple clips I’ve been wanting to film for an upcoming edit of mine as well. Stay tuned for that. It was a good day of riding for sure. Sessions like this is why I ride BMX. Here are a few photos from the day.

Simple rail hop at a new spot we found.

I just arrived home from an amazing tour in Japan traveling through Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki, and Sasebo. I would first like to say thanks to Eastern Bikes and Vancho Bike for making this trip possible. It was great experience to say the least. I’m very thankful to have met so many great riders and most importantly great people during my journey. Below is a collection of photos that was shot throughout my tour by owner of HTB Park and the videographer of the trip, Takashi Noguchi. Check out the HTB site HERE. Stay tuned for an exclusive photo feature with photos I personally shot coming soon right here on the Eastern site.

Yo guys, hope everyone is getting to ride outside as much as I have been able to lately. Weather has been sick and I been taking advantage of it.  Well first off I moved to a new house in Greenville,NC with my chick, dogs, and have acquired roommates as well.

First thing we did was build up my ramps I had at my old house as well as change some and build new ones.5 and a half foot quarter in the driveway and the ledge….
The ledge again, the flat rail, and the smaller ledge…..The 4 foot quarter with a fun small subrail and a weird jersey barrier type ramp I thought would be cool to build and ride… and Craig Mast in there haha.

Also Daniel Dhers is taking over Mirra`s warehouse and having some remodeling done to it. We been helping out a little with that and took a cool photo of it mid remodel.Other then all that just been riding and filming stuff. Got a bike check/video in the works and should be out hopefully soon.

The best part about going to school was getting out.  Getting out meant that after the school work was done, it was time to shred.  Nothing beats the after school street ride home!!!  I was dropping Tyler off at wrestling only to run into these two shredders.  They love bikes, love to ride, and are stoked on Eastern Bikes.  Hang in there dudes, just a few more weeks of school left.

Palmer Terrors Represent!!!  Check out this Eastern decked out.  Awesome colors!!!

For shredding bikes. The weather is at that awesome time between cold and so hot and humid it sucks to be outside so bike riding has been going down on the reg. I was recently in a Vital video with some homies my old roomate Dan Foley put together. Got that front page screen shot! Click the photo to watch.

I also built up a new ride that you can check out the complete list of parts by clicking the photo. Bike is complete with the Eastern Crown pedals which I filmed a few clips for a Product Spotlight/Friday Flick you can watch by clicking HERE!

Good weather also means trail sessions are starting to pop off which is always good. Click HERE to watch a video from a trail jam my friend Binny put on at his trails that I have a few clips in, video by Wes Atkins.

I also suffered my first concussion the other day after I cased a jump at some trails and went straight to my face. head and body have been sore a few days but should be back on it before most of you read this. Enough blabber. Go enjoy the weather by riding your bike. BYAHHHH!!!!

I’m excited to announce that I will be heading to Japan for a week long trip of riding bikes, filming, shooting photos, exploring, and more. Stay in tune of what’s going on during my trip on all my social networks.

Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram.

I will also be attending this event while I’m there. It’s going to be good time.
