TURF | Sedona Pit Stop

Turf CEO Mike Schmitt and affiliate Ian Walker made their way out to the grand canyon to do some exploring and along their journey stopped at Sedona Skatepark to get a shred sesh in and film. Ian does some pegless work on everything in the park and Mike did the same with pegs. Love watching both these dudes ride. Mike always thinks of the coolest stuff to do and Ian always keeps it crispy clean. Check it out.

Devon Lawson – Word Is Bond

Turf has been uploading the individual sections from Word Is Bond. Devon’s is short, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t filled with some fire. Devon’s style is one of a kind and is real easy on the eyes. Check this out and watch Word Is Bond if you haven’t yet.

TURF TUESDAY – 03

3rd episode of the Turf Tuesday series is the best one thus far. Tons of great clips from the squad in this one including Matt Reyes, Mike Schmitt, Ian Walker, and Shane Hunt. Along with some great riding, these dudes are real entertaining off the bike as well, that ender was gold. Slum’s riding has been getting cleaner and cleaner with every video I’ve seen of him lately, which didn’t seem like something that was possible, but sure enough it is. Mike’s riding is always one of my favorites to watch too. The double to bar at 2:00 was super clean, especially for someone who doesn’t throw bars that often. Stoked to see riding from Ian and Shane, dudes stay under the radar for the most part so it’s cool seeing them get some coverage. This edit rules and I’m excited to see more upcoming episodes of this series. Check this out for sure.
