Jon Edwards, Deco flow!

“Yo, Deco just got their first official UK flow rider, in association with Valleyside, his name is Jon Edwards. Jon loves bmx, and he likes to ride most disciplines. As you can see from the photos, he’s injecting his own unique style into his manouvers… Always a treat! Jon’s not just bmx though, Jon has a long list of creative outlets – If creatives are your thing, get you wiki on! Keep your eyes peeled, Jon will have some quality web video’s dropping on Valleyside/Deco soon!…” – VS

Ryys: BMX Day Contest, Warsaw, Poland (Web Video of the Month/April).

Recently got an email from Ryys, it read; “Hey, here’s the video about the Dartmoor team at the BMX Day 2011 contest, which took place in Warsaw last weekend. I hope you’ll like it. Regards Ryszard Syryczyński” . It’s always great to see new riders dropping hammers and gaining recognition, in uncharted (at least from the main-stream international media) territory! Now I’m sure Poland’s always bred talent; but with new industry (Dartmoor, available in the UK from Slam69), rad events (BMX Day Contest/Baltic Games) and riders like Maciej Kiwak, the future of BMX, in Poland, is Strong! Enjoy the flick – VS

The Art of Ascension: The Francisco “Coco” Zurita Interview…

Coco's in town...

Introduction

“When I call I either get “Hi this is Coco and I’m prolly buzy right now”, or I get a “hola cheeky dogg”  from one of the most genuine people I’ve ever known. Coco arrived on the scene in 2004, after a long time friend had moved from their hometown in Chile to Dallas, Texas. I received a call from a dirt jumper named Sean Tarrant letting me know he had found someone with something special.

The GT Air Show was the mid summer tour, so we re-routed through Texas and swooped up Coco. Along side Cameron White, Coco rapidly took his riding to the next level. It was such a rad experience; watching this kid from Chile, become one of the absolute very best in the world. With a fluid riding style and powerhouse tricks, Coco has quickly changed how people look at BMX vert riding. In four years of Summer tour, if my math is correct, that is a few hundred BMX shows, a few speeding tickets, too many late night drives, A LOT of java chips, spending almost every waking moment with this kid from Chile and I can only remember being mad at him twice. Once for rushing me and another time he didn’t want to drive haha.

Thank you Pedro. You’re an amazing friend and an all around awesome cheeky dogg! I’m excited to watch what you do in BMX in the future!” – Bo Wade
