Check out this sick photo of Mike Mastroni floating though a wild tight space. This is from last month’s issue of Ride BMX.

Tom La Marche :: Specialized Spring Edit
Uncle buck getting Buck Wild for Specialized. This one is filled with rad stuff from start to end. I am always stoked to see new Tom footage.
P.S. Already watched this thing like 5 times.
Nike – AK – Simone
Alex Kennedy and Simone Barraco took a trip to Tel Aviv to film this amazing edit for Nike Bmx. I am so stoked how this came out, and the filmed with Richard Forne who is responsible for a lot of the awesome european Mutiny Bikes videos. Check it out.
Simone and AK are both super tech and super clean. I’ll definitely be re-watching this for inspiration a few times.
Piczine 12 Brothers Out Now
While I was in Paris over the summer. I met up again and stayed with Corinne Stoll. She’s a fantastic host, and an even more amazing photographer. She releases these zines periodically and they are sold at Colette. Ed Wonka, Mike Schmitt, Roldoph, and myself have all been in them. This time I got to skate around! Definitely get one from Colette if you can somehow!
Commuter Upgrade
So I have been planning on upgrading, replacing, and refurbishing my Sizemore Commuter for quite some time now. Below are some parts from Orange Velo parts that I am planning on getting. Once I receive them, I’ll tune it up, and slap on a new chain and add some grease where needed. It’s been over two years since I got this bike and it’s been through a lot of inappropriate riding (hitting jumps, jumping stairs, doing footdrag skids) but is handling it all very well.
Grand Cru Zeste Canti Brakes
Porteur Handlebars
Tektro City Brake Levers.
I am also having Mr. Sizemore build me a Porteur rack for the front, almost identical to the one on his commuter.
Fantastic Photo
Here is an amazing interior photo. I love the stark contrast, and the corrosion on the chalk board hanging on the wall.
Found here. Original photo by Moa og kaffekoppen.
Karmann Ghia
I am currently obsessing over the thought of owning an awesome late 60′s Karmann Ghia. It is a perfect car for me for a few reasons, not too expensive, looks amazing (more like an old Porsche or Alfa Romeo than a VW) and it’s got an engine that is easy to work on! I can see myself now, blasting The Beach Boys and cruising around Seattle.
Here are some ones I love.
Dreaming over those car is great and I would consider relatively obtainable. But then of course I came to find this thing!
A Ghia with a Porsche 993 engine. I am so glad the retained the original shape and styling of this car, just slightly adding width to the fenders to fit the new drive train. The Porsche wheels look amazing on this as well. If there were a vintage styled James Bond movie made today, he could drive this car. Also, it has 321 horse power!
Finish it up with a video about the car. It’s in German, but still great.
