This weekend was the best weekend I have had in a long, long time. Drove about 500 miles, got super sunburned, and laughed a lot.
Peter G. who get’s hooked up through Giant Canada sent over a few shots of his 2010 Method Team. He recently got his bike powdercoated and it’s looking pretty sweet. Click below for more photos and bike check.
Here’s a fresh shot of the new Giant Top Load Stem.

Ive been riding BMX for over 12 years now, and for them 12 years Ive had a good friend Bud Dickman riding with me.We met at franke park race track in Ft Wayne, Indiana. Bud had a Interest in BMX video’s and videography since day one. He always had all the good videos(pre internet days) and was always trying to make videos with his mother’s vhs-c camera, on some old computer. He was there from the start taking photos and video. I pretty much have my whole BMX life, and progression captured on film. And I am super grateful to have that. So without further delay.. here is the past 10 years of my BMX life on film.
First off in 2001 Bud made “Smalltown”. Im pretty sure he only made about 5 copys to VHS. Bud, Im sorry if you are bummed on the revival of smalltown,forgive me. A side note, the clip doing the double peg down the rail was my very first rail id ever done!.
Myself (Chris), Alex Raban, and our friends Ian Munro and Cody Bowers have been filming for the past year for our new video that hopefully will be wrapped up pretty soon. We’ve started up a blog to update people on our progress and whatnot, and some trailers should be posted soon. You can click below to check it out as we make more progress.

This is awesome. Alex scored a Peg Leg/The Come Up exclusive edit.
I’m just going to paste Adam Grandmaison’s descriiption from The Come Up to explain this edit…
“Recently Alex Raban spent some time on the east coast riding Boston-area spots and then spent a few days riding with me in Brooklyn. Devin Feil was there to capture all the stuff he did and these are some of the things Alex didn’t want to use for his upcoming video part (seriously). After spending a few days in the presence of Raban, I can’t deny that he is definitely one of the most technical, dialed riders alive.”
Good Job Alex!

A few months back when the weather wasn’t so great my longtime friend Bud came to Dayton and rode the indoor private ramp setup at ohio surf and skate.

Yesterday was both Tony Cherry and Alex Raban’s birthdays, so Troy went out and celebrated by himself and made this sweet edit. This definitley has a fun feel to it, what BMX is all about!
