DEVON’S GHOST 2ND LOOK

Here’s a 2nd look at Devon Lawson’s Grime Ghost build. He’s been riding it for nearly a week now, but you’d never be able to tell because he looks as comfortable as ever on the bike. I can’t wait to see the rest of The Grime rollin’ around on these beasts. Head over to iMiNUSD to place a pre-order, and secure yourself one of these steeds.

MATT REYES | ROCK CLIMBING

Mike Schmitt popped off this photo of my doing a little rock climbing (wall tap 180) in Golden Gate just before we discovered that they gutted the dirt jumps hidden deep in the park. With more and more spots being torn out, we’re going to have to take matters into our own hands and start making our own. Time to go buy some quickcrete + shovels, and find a decent location to build.

GOLDEN GATE DIRT JUMPS

This weekend Mike Schmitt and I went to go ride the dirt jumps hidden in Golden Gate Park, only to find that the city had completely gutted the place. Leveling everything in their path, leaving behind nothing but a couple of signs telling us to turn around and fuck off. It’s always a shame to see a spot go, especially one as sacred as this. We will rebuild, despite the city’s destructive ways.

DEVON LAWSON’S GRIME GHOST

I’m sure most of you have already seen pictures of the new Frame from The Grime floating around the internet. Here’s a photo that I took of Devon Lawson‘s Ghost build while he stayed at my pad in SF over the weekend. I had the chance to ride around on it for a bit, and decided it doesn’t feel much different from the G.O.A.T. Other than the fact that the seat + top tube are a lot more out of the way. I’ll have additional photos of the bike up by tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for those. SIZE | MEDIUM

KENNY ARIMOTO | SOUTH CITY

Here’s a relatively old shot of Kenny Arimoto racking a double peg down this 17 stair hand rail that we came across in South San Francisco. Kenny has been out from an injury he took at this years Ride + Style, and only recently started riding tough again. It’s good to see him back on a bike charging at shit.

JEFF DEMPLER | NOSTALGIC

Jeff Dempler sent me this shot of him riding at the school down the street from the neighborhood we grew up in. There’s nothing more nostalgic than coming back to a spot where you learned how to ride. It immediately takes me back to a more simple time, when all you needed was a basketball court or empty parking lot to have a good time. It’s good to see photos of Jeff still crushing it.

MATT REYES | WAXED & WAITING

Here’s a couple screen shots of me riding this ledge we came up on off the freeway in SJ. There’s nothing better than stumbling upon a spot and finding out it’s all buttered up and ready. I’m just about done filming for a new web edit, and just need to wrap it up w/ a few more bangers. Should be done in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for that coming down the pipeline.

JEFF DEMPLER | SAN JOSE LOCAL

Here’s a shot of Jeff Dempler riding in his current hometown of San Jose California. Nothing rocks my wrists like tucking off huge stair sets and drops, which is why I rarely ever do so. Jeff seems to have no problem throwing himself off this 8 stair at SJSU. I’m digging the look of that golden frame he’s been riding.

TRICKIN’ AINT EASY

Riding fixed isn’t for everyone, and no matter how established it becomes, there will always be someone saying “get a BMX”. I don’t need to justify why I ride, I just do. If it were easy, everyone would do it.

TAKING DOWN BIG BROWN

I popped off this photo moments after Ed Wonka took down Big Brown a couple weeks ago. You only get one shot riding hammers like this, and one shot is all Ed needed before making it out alive and skidding into the fence below. Either hit it w/ complete confidence or don’t hit it at all.
