Adam just had a bike check up on RideBMX and now Eric has one on VitalBMX. Who's next? Zach Rogers? Eric has some pretty great riding in it so be merry and check it out! You have to say "out" with a Minneapolis accent.

Day three of three. Maybe we will get to ride street at least a little bit today? I won’t get my hopes up. We met up with Wiz again and Leigh sat on his lap in the car, which was cute. It wasn’t raining, but it was cold. So cold that a simple bunnyhop felt like manual labor. We endured the elements and ended up riding some ridiculous spots. First stop was a cobblestone box jump that Wiz took care of. Right across the street, Kelly and myself hopped a fence and rode an incredible pool. Had I not slammed ...

Ahh, day one. The saga begins sometime around 10 A.M. The traveling band of BMX freaks, consisting of Adam Banton, Cali Bolton, Mapquest Mcqueen, RamRam 2.3.1, and myself all rose from bed and headed directly to the local diner. After injecting our systems with maximum trans-fat, we headed to childhood hero Van Homan's shop, 2x4. The shop is really nice, probably the best one I've ever been to. We found a picture in the bathroom of Leigh with a fu manchu and a leather vest and we knew it was our time to leave. Oh, by the way it was ...

Mikes bike is full of Eastern parts. Mike flairing at a local park in Florida. Mike Andrews.

Here's a few photos of Nick's machine. Nick Anderson's bike. He's rockin' a 20.75 Harvester frame. With custom painted (spray?) wheels, brakes and pedals. The front end with the Eastern Deceptikon stem, Skull grips and Bar Ends. Ultralight fork and Slit pegs. Nick making good use of our clear stickers. We don't make yellow pedals so Nick got a can of spray paint and fixed that. Another view. Mr. Anderson

So today marks day one of three this year at Interbike. The Eastern booth is up and rocking. Below are a few photos for you to peep. I'll be updating this everyday so keep checking back! Phil designed the 2009 Eastern catalog and helped set up the booth. New softgoods on display. The Wonderyear Bars from 7.5" rise all the way to 9". The new 2.3 foldable Curb Monkey. The booth.

Placing 4th at the last Dew tour in Salt Lake City Craig Mast rode amazing! Eastern is pumped on Craig not just by placing good but by having fun doing it. Good job buddy!

Number one on my list was to get the eff back to Utah. Check. Second was to check out alot of the great bike friendly cement parks they have out here. Semi- check. I keep going to the same ones. I have a good time everytime its hard to venture out. Three, work on Be ringers yard and get it running, also semi check.(The kink Team was to blame for one day, we rode with them instead of working on the yard.) I have been digging and working on the yard since I got back from Ohio. We actually have ...

We started the day in St. Paul but got shut down real quick by a PolicewoMan who was obviously angry with her own life and took it out on us. She actually yelled at us to "get the hell out of down town!". After leaving Ben took us to a pretty cool hip and then to some nice rails. Eric was hopping over and Seamus was bombing down them. He took it pretty hard hitting a building but just chilled out the rest of the day and is now just dandy. There was a cool crowd watching the stunts there. ...

The crew for the 3rd Inside/Out is Nick Anerson and Eric Holley as the Insiders and Seamus Mckeon as the Outsider. Mike McQueen is filming and I'm driving everyone around and farting alot. Check back for updates on the trip. -Leigh.  Da Mangler, Seamus, Eric and Nick
