Travis Collier just got back from a quick trip out to Japan to judge a contest and sent over a bunch of photos from the trip.
“In November I was invited by Hiroshi Uehara, the 430 crew and G-shock to judge one of the biggest BMX contests in Japan. It was BMX flatland, street, skateboarding & breakdance. Shit was amazing! It was set up as a TV show. Felt very compact at first glance, but it was meant to act as an action sports experience in a very intimate setup. Comp was amazing, so was the riding. Thanks to Hiroshi, G-shock and the 430 crew for such a rad week in Tokyo”
On top of the final Red Bull Backyard Digger video we posted last week, George sent us an update with some photos and let us know that he recently sprained his ankle and is off of his bike for 2 weeks during New Year break.

We just got our hands on a few stacks of the new Union Press zine that features an ad/poster we ran of Greg Flag doing a crazy grind to fakie wallride shot by our boy Mike Cardin.

You’ll be able to get your hands on a copy for free (and trust us you’ll wanna get one) from finer bike shops worldwide soon enough, keep an eye open for it!

We are down to our last days here in Barcelona, and Taylor’s been on the road for a while now. While we were out today we grabbed a quick bike check with him.
