Demos can be so much fun when you’re with a good group of people and are on decent ramps. In this case, it’s the New York State Fair with the Maximum Velocity guys (and gal). Having a good size vert ramp, spine, box jump and quarterpipe to ride all day makes all the difference when you’re away from home for two weeks. It also doesn’t hurt when bands like Def Leppard, Journey and Cheap Trick play in the evenings.

Marcus Checks In

Murakami — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:37:33 +0000

I just got back from a pretty exciting trip up the northern part of the West Coast. I spent a few days in the San Francisco area with some friends, and rode the Lake Cunningham skatepark, which was absolutely amazing. I also hung out in Santa Cruz for a day, mostly down on the boardwalk, which is always a fun time. From there, we drove up towards Portland, Oregon stopping at cement parks along the way. We rode some pretty fun ones, lots of carving and hips to jump. Finally we made it to Portland for Dew Tour. The contest was pretty crazy. Now I’m back in Greenville just trying to relax between riding and school. That’s pretty much it for now.

All riding shots were at Dustin Millers. In the double whip shot Foster is on the left whipping with Mason. The 80’s party was at Adam Jones house. Costumes were mandatory. I was everyone’s personal trainer for the night. We were all pretty wasted.

Josh Betley and Drew Hosselton

Josh Betley, Drew Hosselton, and I took a trip out Albuquerque, New Mexico this past weekend to ride some street and then hit up the Double Ditch Jam. Josh was filming some clips for an upcoming Felt Bikes video and Drew was filming some clips for Vital BMX and shooting some photos for MirraCo. Definitely a busy past few days, but they came through. Both Josh and Drew ended up with a couple of really good clips that you’ll all be seeing soon enough! Big thanks to Sam Adams and Denise Baca for being our tour guides.

The Double Ditch Jam was just as wild as it had been years in the past. We gave out a few pairs of shoes; Adrian Vigil won a pair for best trick on the rail (barspin to icepick grind), Mario Carrasco won a pair for the longest jump to flat, and Squirrel won a pair for the longest wheelie up the ditch. The Albuquerque locals always come through with a good time and some great riding. Josh and Drew are already planning a trip back!

Lusk @ X fighters in Germany

Well once again Jeremy Lusk finishes in the top three. Lusk took 2nd place over the weekend in Germany at the Red Bull Xfighters. I’m sure Jeremy was going for the gold, but Red Bull rider Matt Rebeaud was not going to let him have it at a Red Bull event. Well I know Jeremy is happy with his 2nd place finish and i’m sure that Rockstar Energy drink is happy as well. I wish I had more photos to show you, but the event is on the other side of the world. Check out EXPN.COM for more news on the event or you can check out the event below.
