Send Saturdays 3

Newest Send Saturday is out now featuring a guest: your boy! Although I ended up spraining my ankle pretty bad on the big boi ledge, I was stoked to get out with Oscar and Marco to grab some clips and have some fun. The homies Ryan and Statik even showed out and grabbed a few clips. Hope your head is feeling better Danny. Like I said, I’m really enjoying this series and you should too.

Johnathan Ball – Ruff Bike Check 2024

As I mentioned when I posted up my Resist announcement last week, here’s a photo bike check and breakdown of the current Ruff whip I’m rolling on. This is genuinely my favorite iteration of all my 26″ builds so far both looks wise and feel wise. It gets me stoked to ride whenever I just take a look at my bike. Breakdown and full gallery after the jump:

Volume Prototype Stem Review

While I haven’t shared any pictures yet of my new Ruff build yet, i thought I’d show off the stem I’ve been running first. Volume was kind enough to send over one of their prototype stems for me to try out and review. Click into the post for full thoughts and gallery, lets go!

84 KICK LOS ANGELES TRIP

A lot of people say “my life a movie for real”, but Satoshi’s life is truly a movie. He stays traveling the world and documenting the best times with his bike. When Satoshi told me he was coming out for our competition, I was incredibly flattered that somebody would come all the way from Japan for an event I was throwing. Top that off with the fact that he’s a legend in the game and I’m basically fan-boying.

84 documented what feels like every moment of his whole trip. So many familiar faces, places, tricks, moments, and everything in between. This hour long movie is really worth sitting down taking the time to soak it all in. You get street riding, flat riding, competition coverage, and more. Satoshi really went above and beyond in the edit here with all the handmade graphics plus having to sort through hours and hours of footage to narrow this all down.

Sit back, relax and enjoy. Arigato!
