MATT REYES URBAN OUTFITTERS INTERVIEW

This is huge. Matt Reyes was recently interviewed by the colossal apparel store Urban Outfitters; off chance you’ve never heard of them. In the interview Matt shined light on our niche sport and talked about his lifestyle all while being very eloquent in typical Matt Reyes fashion. Really intriguing read since Matt is such an interesting guy. Get some insight in to the mind of Slumworm himself and check it out HERE.

“Graphic designer by day, urban bicyclist by night, San Francisco creative Matt Reyes expresses himself in a variety of ways. We spent a day with Matt on the west coast to get a small glimpse of how he uses these outlets for creative expression and get the low down on the bike sport’s rapid comeback.”

ELLIOTT MILNER | BIG FISH

IT’S FINALLY HERE. Elliott’s long awaited 2016 edit for Bombtrack and Ruff Bike Co. Elliott is the best. It’s that simple. He’s been working on so many tricks since his last edit, it’s so sick to see him pushing himself to learn new things. His barspins are dialed as fuck now, the first clip with the feeble nollie bar definitely took me by surprise. I love when you watch an edit and have no clue what to expect. The crank 180 (which he put some work in for) looked flawless and his ice 180’s are more dialed than ever. BMX caliber ice 180’s for sure. That ender is simply fucking insane. Wolf Drawn putting in work behind the lens, been loving the way he cuts together stuff lately. Song flowed well, just too many good things to say about this edit and this guy. DON’T MISS IT.
