Imagine getting to ride this thing in your backyard? Plenty of good tranny and lots of lines makes this thing a treat. Adam Banton and Drew Hosselton had the opportunity to get rad on this gem before it got jack-hammered and resurfaced. Though the pool isn’t rideable anymore, I’m sure Adam will still be clocking in some hours in it this summer to escape the Arizona heat. Friday Flick from Eastern Bikes.
Empire flew Tom Dugan, Aaron Ross and Kevin Porter out to Argentina recently and came back with some fresh footage. The raw clips of Tom at the demo in the beginning is amazing and some of the spots they got to ride down there looks like so much fun.
We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to send Tommy, Aaron, and Kevin to Argentina for a little rest and relaxation recently, and here is the fun as filmed/edited by Devon Hutchins. The crew was hosted by two amazing individuals, Aurora and Marcelo, and we can’t even begin to thank them enough for the generosity and hospitality. Argentina is an incredible place, and the boys said it was one of the best trips of their lives! Thanks Argentina, Empire BMX

Does it turn you off to one day maybe being big time?
I don’t think I really want to be big time like that. I’d rather be big time like, more like Joe Rich and Taj. You know what I mean? More like being respected and stuff.
He pretty much pulled that off with ease.

There’s a battle of two wolves inside us all.

the wolf that wins?
The one you feed.
