Vail Mountain Games

Super stoked on this event and looking forward to the summer games. I rode well and was able to place 4th but the good times were first class for sure. 

Vail Mountain Games

I had a great time up at the Vail Mountain Games placing 4th in Bike Best Trick and hanging with a few great friends. Now it is time to get ready for the summer games so hope to see you all there. Oh' and yeah it was a little odd rocking the bike and not the board on snow....  

Troy McMurray Benefit

Troy McMurray Benefit Story by ESPN Action Sports Last week, veteran X Games BMX Dirt and Park rider Troy McMurray was hospitalized at a Denver, Colo. area hospital and diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolisms. McMurray, now in his late 30s, lives and works in the Denver area, and continues to ride from time to time. He turned pro in 1995, and boasted sponsors that included S&M Bikes, Puma Footwear (where he had a signature shoe) and XS components. He had ridden in multiple X Games events, executed notorious one-handed 360s for S&M ads, and was once awarded the “Tough As Nails” trophy by the organizers of the Bicycle Stunt Series for his efforts. McMurray was also one of the early pioneers of brakeless and pegless riders, innovating moves such as truckdriver fakes, 360s to smith grinds and barspin gaps. In 2002, McMurray left the pro spotlight and returned to full-time work as a carpenter. “Sometimes, you just got to get out of the way of somebody else’s dreams. I feel that I had my time in the sun and that it was time for someone else to shine and achieve their dreams,” said McMurray in a 2010 interview with ESPN. Last week, locals in the Denver area reported that McMurray was hospitalized for blood clots on his lungs, which were later diagnosed as multiple pulmonary embolisms (blockages in the arteries in his lungs.) On top of a lengthy hospital stay, McMurray will require medical assistance in the future, and he will not be able to return to work anytime soon. Ted Van Orman, a Denver local, recently set up a medical fundraiser site to raise funds for McMurray and his family. “Troy is not one to ask for help, but with his second daughter on the way, his family could really use a boost,” said Van Orman. “He has been an inspiration to many of us in the BMX world and any kind of donation would be greatly appreciated by Troy and his family.” Donations are being accepted here.

Road 34 contest

This past weekend was a busy one with Velmont Bike Park opening, Rode 34 and Lyons Outdoor Games it is a great time to be a bike rider in the state of Colorado. Check out the video of what went down this past weekend at Road 34 by our boys over at Plus Size BMX.
Words from "Plus Size BMX" This was the 7th annual Road 34 jam in Ft Collins, Colorado. You know it's gonna be a party when you put dirt jumps behind the coolest bar/Bike Shop on the planet. Even though the landings were taking a beating the riders were throwing big stuff. With a cash purse of $3000 every shredder for miles came out. Colorado native Joey Cordova even made the trip home for the jam. Other featured riders are Mat Olson (who won!), Matt Cordova, Andy Holloway, Jordan El-Nasser, Zach Lewis, Joshua Larson, Brain Banghart, and many many more...
