SLC in the House

Rob Wise and Tate Roskelley have been in town for a few days working on some video stuff with Bennett. The weather hasn't been to cooperative but they've both managed pretty well, considering there has been snow in Salt Lake for the last few months.

Biz has been hanging out and hobbling around. He got more bad news from he Doc the other day. Cracked femur, another 8 weeks on the crutches.

09 team update

Rob, Tate and Bennett have been in town trying to escape the snow in PA and in Utah just in time to catch the rain in Cali. We escaped the rain long enough to get some good footy of everyone for the upcoming DVD and web vids. Stay tuned.

Rob Wise Wallpaper

Rob "Machine" Wise has been in heavy rotation over at the Ride BMX offices for their wallpaper series. This one came from his last interview. Crazy ass wallride. Who would have thought that this was even possible. Rob's a nut!

Riding and what not

Greg Sumida and Doyle are in town for the week, so we got a good session on this past weekend

We all hit up the Sunday night Fontana session, but we spent most of the night in a heated fly out battle game of BMX. Biz getting his kick out on. He almost took it, but not with this move

Greg staying in the game with the whip

It was the first time most of us had ridden a capsule, we all got a bit upside down, but the pic of me is the only one that turn out half decent

We all went up to WoodWard West on Monday, Biz's GPS hooked us up with a wicked short cut, we just had to out run Jeepers Creepers.

Biz Whips

Again, we all got our backies on, but mine was the only one that turned out, weird.

The Cutter sticker contest went extremely well and we want to thank everyone that entered.

Thanks again and stay tuned for more contests throughout the year
