Adam Banton – Sketchiest Ride of his Life

When Adam Banton went to visit his old teammate, Brian “Wiz” Wizmerski, in Wiz’s hometown of Philly, he expected the sessions, spots, and bars. But he wasn’t quite prepared for what else he did. Hear the story from Banton himself, while he throws down some original crank-arm moves to keep things interesting.

TGIF: Eric’s Nose-bonk Roof Drop

Here’s a TGIF that takes us back almost a couple years ago when Eric Lichtenberger joined our team. It’s the banger to his Welcome to the Team video and it’s definitely one of those clips you need to watch a couple times to really appreciate what’s going on. He actually gets his tire on that beam for a good foot or so before he rolls off the end and drops the anchors. Imagine if he would’ve missed?! It would’ve been a nose dive to flat from 12 feet up.

Watch it a couple times and then give him a quick YEEEEWWW on his Facebook and Twitter.

Mat Houck – Bike Check

Mat Houck caught our eye a while ago with videos like this one and winning the world’s longest ice pick at the Texas Toast Jam, taking home a toaster filled with cash. It’s hard to stand out in a BMX mecca like Austin, but Matt does just that. With guys like Aaron Ross, Tom Dugan, and George Boyd pulling for you, stepping onto our flow team was natural.

To kick things off, here’s his first bike check with us. Click around the flipbook above to get a closer look. Stay tuned because we’re sure you’ll be seeing plenty more of him…
