LOWRIDER
Check my new General Tire add on the back of the December Low Rider.
Bohan
Corey has run into some bad luck as of late. Corey crashed in Salt Lake city during Dirt practice at the Dew Tour and popped his shoulder out. The crash kept him out of the contest. Â After having his shoulder looked at, the Doc said time would heal it. After a month off, and barely being able to pump through the jumps at the Orlando Dew Tour it looks like he might need to go under the knife. On a good note after missing the opportunity to ride the last two Dew Tour finals Corey still ties Ryan Nyquist for the most Dew Tour Dirt Finals made with 20.
Orlando
In Orlando for Dew Tour and got away from the event for a while to do some wakeboarding. Rockstar Energy lined up the cable park for a private session with some of the guys from the Rockstar  wakeboard team. Rob Darden, Alistair Whitton, Zak Early and my self made it out to meet up with Rusty Malinosky, Scott Byerly, Ross Gardner and George Daniels. Darden hitting the kicker on two skies was the highlight of the day for sure. Thanks again guys for the great session.
New Jump
I finally finished this big hip I started over a month ago. Thought it was a good idea until I found out I had to break through a bunch of rock to build the lip. Its all done and real fun, should have pics soon after I shoot it with the mag.
Broken Bohan
Corey crashed in Utah doing the Dew and popped his shoulder out. There will be no need for surgery just time for it to heal. No surfing ,no bmx or any thing stressful on the shoulder. He has been spending his time doing less stressful activities like going to Chloe Kardashian and Lamar Odoms wedding.
Paxton 00
I just came across this pic of Lonnie Paxton who is now playing for the Denver Broncos. Lonnie is in the middle of raffling off a Giant Method 00 at the Rockstar Jam for The Active Force Foundation. Active Force is a non profit organization that raises money and promotes adaptive sports equipment. Check it out at www.activeforcefoundation.org
Jam Pic
Lonnie Paxton just send me over this shot he took at the Rockstar Jam. Im jumping the step up while Brian Foster is hitting the big hip in the back ground. Leave it to a football player to get lucky enough for this to all line up.Â
Hart & Huntington X Grenade
Hart & Huntington have team up with Grenade to release a co-branded BMX glove. For those of you who dont know of Grenade there the most popular glove in the snowboard world and used by most of snowboardings best riders along with there owner Danny Kass.

The gloves are awesome and should be available soon.Â

Nor Cal
I just made a trip up to San Jose for Ryan Nyquist Warriors of Wood comp. Â While at the comp I got to talking to some of the locals about a trail spot not to far from the event. It lined up perfect to hit on the drive home. After talking to some of the guys at the event we made plans to hit this trail spot and take a few runs before making the long drive. After a decent hike to a well hidden spot we were greeted by the friendliest locals I have ever met along with Joey Garcia, Matt Mardesich and Ryan Nyquist. Â The trails are new and no photos or film were shot but I can say they are by far the best I have ever ridden in California and I could not have had a better day. The locals were killing it making it fun to follow them through the lines that turned all over the place with hips and plenty of long sets. Joey and Matt were ripping lines that seemed to have no end. For any one who has never seen Joey Garcia ride its a true treat, watching him ride made it hard to believe that it has almost been ten years since he won the X Games. Props to the locals, Joey and Matt for the session.
