From FRANCE with LOVE :)

You know ... it seems like every new trip I encounter surpasses the previous with copious amounts of bike riding, partying, and all around good natured fun! And my most recent journey to the FISE in Montpellier France via Paris along side Alex Jumelin and Matthias Dandois was another best of my life! Having such incredible people for hosts (Matthias, Matthias family, Alex, and my new BFF Sylvia) in such a vastly cultured country is something no amount of money can buy, so in these moments we are the wealthiest people on Earth! Merci beaucoup guys! Thanks for all of the laughs and good times! Was very bummed about Matthias breaking his ankle before he could qualify but wishing the homie a speedy recovery! Get well soon bro, thanks so much for everything! I'm already looking forward for another excuse to travel back to F R A N C E !!!!

NEW VIDEO from Sevisual: Bo Wade - Life's a Beach 2014

Sevisual, an amazingly talented film maker from Hungary, recently spent a month in Los Angeles filming with various people and soaking up the sun before heading back to a snowy Budapest. During his stay I had the pleasure of hanging out with Sevisual for several days and this video is the result. I can't say thanks enough for bringing such a high level of video production to BMX flatland, and also to BMX for my incredible life!

Soo stoked on this!! We so lucky!!

New Bike Check

Toronto Canada FU10 contest

Celebrating its 10 year anniversary the Toronto Bike Show once again hosts the FU International BMX Flatland contest straight out of the very frigid frozen tundra that is Toronto Canada. I flew into Buffalo, which is actually somehow magically colder than Toronto, where I met up with the homie Alex Jumelin. We then proceeded to leap hurdle after hurdle in efforts to attend the first contest of the year, and man it would not be easy. (lost my DL couldn't rent car, its incredibly cold outside, debit card doesn't work for some rentals, its really, really cold outside, rental car sold out, COLD AS FUCK, credit card companies hate you, everyone hates you, cold weather hates you)

However we were strong like Golden Eagles and persisted by way of a lumbering 4 hour greyhound bus ride (to go 100miles/160km) with a 40 dollar cab ride to really finish like travel professionals haha. Despite the painfully cold temperatures the contest is a lot of fun! Its obviously held inside a massive arena with a huge crowd of spectators and a great groups of guys running the event. Its so awesome to catch up with guys like OSD, Jamie, Brandon, PERCY!!! haha and so many others! The greatest thing about BMX is the people!

I finally was able to ride decent and finished a respectable 6th place in Pro and with the level of riding from guys like Dub, Alex J, Jason P Im stoked on that! Progression is what I seek and these measurable moments are so valuable. Motivation. Lets get to work.

Special shout out to Shaun and Jeff Lapsley!
