Samurai Trick Comp Vol.2 Scores

We’re announcing the official scores from the Samurai Trick Comp Vol.2. Judges: KOZO, ANDY SPARKS and BONJU.

A total of 14 competitors entered the comp, divided into PRO and AM divisions. Qualifiers and finals were originally planned, but rain just before the event led to the cancellation of the qualifiers, so only the finals were held. In the AM division, two competitors rode at the same time, while PRO competitors rode individually. Each competitor completed two 90-second runs. Each run was scored out of 60 points by three judges, and their scores were averaged to determine the run score. The higher of the two run scores counted as the competitor’s final score.

Visiting Keo Curry in 2010

I visited him in Seattle in October 2010. I thought I lost these photos on my old hard drive, but recently I found some of them. This trip is one of the greatest memories of my life because it was my first time visiting a local scene abroad and meeting local riders there. Looking back now, I realize that this trip truly became part of my roots.

Jakub Bruch was riding in 84’s hood.

Slovak boy and Masterbike Co. teammate Jakub Bruch visited me last August. Here are some pictures from a little sesh we had in my hood. I guess he was the first person to ride this spot on a fixed gear, even though it was already well known among BMX riders.

CSK – Court Sentence Klips

COURT IS IN SESSION. New CSK jam from Jacob Ruff and Ruff associates for vertical viewing pleasure (I still enjoyed watching on desktop though). So many nifty shifty tight lines in here, Jacob has become an expert at this park.

Additionally, Jacob has released brand new CSK hats… making these the first CSK clothing product to drop in many many years!

Jimmy Watcha – 35mm Portrait

Some film shots of the legend Watcha and his bike while we were out in the bay area last May. His Master build is so unique looking, I love it.

I’m just getting back from so much travelling, so we’re back to regularly scheduled programming here. I have so many film photos and photos in general in the backlog, gonna try really hard to clear everything out and let ’em out of their prison cells that are my hard drives, starting with Mr. Watcha here.
