The papparazi was all over this crooked grind.


Whip it, whip it good, Zac.

Nathan Powell has been working hard on his backyard ramp, and is officially back on his bike and going full throttle!


A group of us got together in BG lastnight for a street session. This is Drew Hersch slidin' one of his favorite rails in BG.


- Casey Longshore sent over a picture of the new Season "Autumn Bars." They're much lighter than the OG Season bars and feature a laser etched logo on the cross bar, as well as fluted tubing. They'll be on display at InterBike in Vegas this year, so stop by the Greasy Comb booth to check em out and say hi to Casey.

- Quick update: I'm in the middle of packing up my things. I move back to Toledo this weekend. Ryan Howard and Anthony Barton have been on the road a lot over the past week or so filming for "Goin' For Broke." Anthony Barton is also riding for Season now. And Troy Merkle chilled backstage with B.B. King at the big concert last night. More news, more photos, and maybe even a little edit once I get back to Toledo.


Ryan Howard- Double peg grind to hop over smith.


Anthony Barton of Any Means Clothing, and now Season Bikes as well. Feeble grind in his home state of Kentucky.

Casey Longshore and Josh Abney went to the Flow the other night and learned flips. They're stoked. Here's Casey gettin' upside down.
