First off I would like to welcome the newest rider to the team, Mike DiNello. This kid rips it up and is one of the only riders that still rocks front brakes and tears it up with it. His style is non other than amazing and I am so siked to have him on the team. I personally love the fact that he can throw down the bangers like 360 tailwhips but also destroy a 4 foot miniramp. Welcome to the team Mike!!!! Also congratulations to Dan for taking 3rd place in the contest last weekend at Autumn Ramp Park. Jonathan rocked the microphone for a bit and judged but it was a great time. John Andrus builds the majority of the ramps there and he does an amazing job and the place is run by this dude Jeremiah Anderson who is really cool. He keeps the park clean and is very involved with the kids and keeping a fun and safe environment. That being said, if you haven't been there before you have to check it out!!!!!!! 10/02/09
Sorry for the delay in news. Things have been a little crazy. Last weekend we did shows at this amazing shop called Adrenaline Powersports. Let me tell you things got out of hand with Ben flairing the lip of the boxjump to Dan doing the craziest superman Indian-air tailwhips I have ever seen. Then to top things off, at the end of the last show, Alex landed a front flip, frontflip no-hander, and then a backflip-tailwhip. All in all the entire team rode very well. Unfortunately Joey has a messed up ligament in his thumb but will be back in action in no time at all. Check back soon for some photo updates from the show. We have some amazing shots from Andy and Joey due to the fact that they are both photo majors in college.

First off I would like to throw a huge shout out to my newest rider Dan Setmeyer. I am so siked to add him to the team due to the fact that he adds a style and attitude to the team that highly compliments the rest of the riders. He was recommended by Benny and his exact words were, " Dude, you gotta give my guy Dan a shot. He has a great attitude and more importantly he is not afraid to hurl himself 20 feet through the air". Needless to say I was sold and Benny was 100% correct as I am sure that you will all agree that have seen him in out two latest shows in Leamington, Ontario way up in Canada as well as the 4th of July show in West Bend, WI. Welcome to the team Dan!!!!!!! To give you a quick story about our little trip to Canada. We blew out both tires of trailer on the way there and the second one ripped the fender clean off of the trailer when it blew. Then when we got there we found out that we would be performing on gravel. Needless to say, Dan's shins didn't stop bleeding the entire weekend. Then during the shows Dan popped two tires and blew 5 spokes clean out of his wheel and Benny popped 1 tube and bent a petal so bad that he ended up grabbing my bike in the middle of the show and riding on that. When all was said and done, there was some serious carnage on that tour LOL.

Last weekend we decided to make a stop at Solution ramp park in Indiana. This place is out of control!!! the park has amazing flow and the owners are really cool and all about the extreme sports scene, not just in it for the money. For those of you youngsters that want to learn flips and flairs, they have a perfect foam pit and rumor has it that they are working on a rezzie box to take it one step further. The facility is squeaky clean and the owners take pride in offering a quality place to ride versus you average shady warehouse skate park. I plan on making the 7 hour drive for me to get there very soon to ride again. We also had the privilege of spending the weekend with Criss Gerber and would also like to throw him a shout out for all of his hospitality. He rides for S&E bikes and has a signature model frame out so be sure to check out them as well. Big thanks to the amazing Solution ramp park and Criss Gerber for a great weekend.

The past month was a crazy month for us so I am sorry for the delay in our update. We had shows down south and had the privilege of having stops at St. Louis, Memphis, Gonzalez, and New Orleans. The rig was packed but we all had a great time. The riders blew me away and I have never seen them ride better but my favorite two tricks were Billy doing backflip turndowns 20 feet high and little Benny doing wheelies everywhere he possibly can. hahaha. I would also like to throw a shout out to a club called Weedy's that had us as their personal guests and MTV for showing us a good time. A couple of riders went down for the JOMO PRO contest in Joplin, Missouri. Being one of the biggest contests of the year I am proud to say that Alex and his friend made the finals and took 6th and 7th place out of 57 riders. The tricks that went down at that contest still boggle my mind especially the winner of the best trick contest with a 360 barspin to barspin to tailwhip. OUT OF CONTROL!!!! Last but not least we would like to thank our new sponsor DonJoy braces for the major hookup. These guys make the best braces on the market for everything from knees to back braces so check them out.

Last weekend we were at Rick Thorn's contest in Madison, Wisconsin and the riders did great!!!!! Every one of them made the finals. Unfortunatly Billy ended up in the ER after falling on a Pendellum (double no-footed cancan). No worries though. After getting a dislocated bone in his foot fixed he came right back to the park and started shredding.

I have recently decided to add two new riders to the team. I had the privilage of taking one with me to Washington and the other will be shredding in our next show. Their names are Alex and Donny and both of them are from the Chicago area. I am super stoked on the amount of skill that each of them have and they will serve to be an excellent addition to the rest of our asstounding riders.
