2010-11-07T20:12:00.000-08:00

Alfredo,Chris Long,Jeremy Pavia,Adam22 and Mike Mastroni came out to Corona to meet up with Biz,Dillewaard and myself. Despite the large crew, the day ended up being real productive. Alfredo is not afraid to go to flat and he got it done with plenty of sunlight left, even with daylights savings. Click below for a few more pics.

RJ20R update

2010-10-22T12:58:00.000-07:00

Most of you guys have no idea how good Biz really is. I'd say he's probably one of the more underrated riders out there. He's been on the scene for years and keeps getting better and better. We keep hearing from those idiots at Demolition that his new video part will be absolutely insane. Biz's new frame, the RJ20R is coming next month. Stay tuned for a whole month of BIZ! Everything and anything Biz!

Enns had a signature frame on Volume 10 years ago. The new frame is fully redone and a bit "modern", just like Enns, haha. We still stayed true with the double wishbone though. More info on the frame coming soon.

Week 5 of the Ten Pack Summer Tour from Ten Pack Distribution on Vimeo.

I can’t say enough about the BC Interior. It’s one of the best places on earth. This trip was one of the highlights of our summer tours, so many great parks and spots, too many good nights and epic beach sessions. Check out some riding from the Volume and Demolition crew (Biz, Alfredo Mancuso, Andy Roode, Chijioke Okafo) as well as a few guests. Filmed by Luke Santucci, edited by Jeremy Deme.

2010-10-01T14:29:00.000-07:00

I think everyone has a love/ hate relationship with Interbike. You always like seeing ol' friends but you hate working your ass off all year for 3 days of Interbike. This year was especially crazy for us. Samples came late, booth was first assembled the day before and numerous other last minute things. After it's all said and done, it was a good time. Glad it's the last time in Vegas too, now I don't have to go home feeling like I smoked a carton of cigarettes.

Above is Biz'd new frame, the RJ20R (graphics are a spoof on Auburn) due out mid Oct. You might remember Auburn Bikes back in the early nineties but if you don't, they made race frames with a CRMO front end and a bolt on AL. rear triangle. It was wack but cool at the same time. I had 2, haha. Robbo raced for them back in the day, you might remember this same pic back in 94 in GO? Pic courtesy of Skier J from 2010 Interbike

Pat is blowing up like crazy around here. Peeps are dumbfounded that a kid like Pat can come out of nowhere and be this damn good. He's got new tricks, old tricks and he does it all smooth and with style. Something you don't see from your average 16 yr. old. Above video is the introduction to a new site by our homies over at Fullerton Bike shop called Yawn.

Some of you have never heard of Pat Casey before but I think that's going to change very very soon. Pat has been hitting the contests hard this summer and absolutely killing it. He just got 8th ($5000) at the Nike HB comp over the weekend. If you were there, I'm sure the 16 year old unknown surprised the hell out of you. Congrats Pat!

What's in Connor's Car

2010-08-06T22:44:00.000-07:00

Awhile back we did a feature on "What's in Mike's Car" on our sister company's site, Demolition. I don't know if Mike was too pleased but it got the attention of some peeps. Well, right when I didn't think we could top what was in Mike's car, our good buddy Connor Lodes showed up at the office with his Ford Explorer. Click more for full story and pics (click em' to go BIG). Trust me, this one's worth it!

I wouldn't say Connor smells or anything like that but by the looks of this mirror, somethin' in this rig gives off a foul odor.

If this doesn't say "good times", I don't know what does. BMX, Ruckus, dirty laundry, etc etc.

This picture might not help out with the ladies but what it tells me is that Connor is a free spirit and lives by the seat of his pants. Belt, keyboard (doesn't even own a computer), tripod, tools, half eaten McDonalds burger and other random stuff.

There you go folks, another great pro biker sharing his most prized possessions.

European Vacation

2010-08-01T21:40:00.000-07:00

Drew just got back to AZ , after a few weeks cruising around Europe. I imagine it was nice to get out of the blazing Phoenix sun for a few weeks mid summer. He was lucky enough to be in Spain when they won the World Cup Soccer Tournament. He said it was amazing to be in the middle of it all.

Lil'-Stevie has been the talk of the town the last couple weeks. The kid is definitely on fire and has done some amazing tricks in such a short amount of time. Chris Long (filmed and edited the edit above) said Stevie did this edit in 2 days! Takes me that long just to stretch out. Welcome to the team Stevie!
