Samual L Joneson....


Sam Jones sent me this email a bit ago, just getting to post it now... Here's what he had to say: "Got back to school after a week off for spring break and came back to beautiful 75+ degree weather all week so far. ive been trapped inside for the first few days doing the homework that i probably should have done over break, but managed to go ride for a few hours and snatch this picture from my phone today on one of the fun little spots on campus!"

GGSB print shop, sooooo good!!!!


Aaron at GGSB printing has been hammering out some of the best tees you can get. They put in work printing shirts for so many awesome companies in BMX, and just about any other thing you can think of. The DG shirts are made here and I wouldn't have it any other way! These guys live BMX.
It gets HOT in Florida, If you know anything about how a shirt gets a graphic printed on it then you should know it is not in a comphy cool environment, it's hot!!!!! Many of the shirts are made when most people are getting out of work, when it is a bit cooler outside, say around.... Midnight or so. Aaron has a new shop and is putting in some hours. Dan Danger is down there helpin out and he sent me a run down of how the latest and greatest Profile Racing tees were made, which I am sure will be available soon!!! These are hand made TyDy shirts, no two are exactly the same! Here's how it goes down....

Txt from Dan Danger: "All night to tie dye 100 shirts, Next night we wash and dry 100 shirts"

"Next night all night to tie and dye 130 more shirts, all rang out by hand"

"Next night to was and dry till 3:30 AM"

"If you look close i the back ground, there's a 70 year old lady sleeping on the folding table"

"Then off to the shop to print about 75 shirts before the screen blows out."

"Next night burn new screen and print the rest" Then they fold and box em up and ship em out!!!

This is the whiskey they drank while getting work done. Aaron left it out by a fire at the house over night so some ants and a few other guys moved in but that doesn't stop Dan from finishing it!!!

IF YOU WANT TO PICK UP ONE OF THESE AMAZING HAND MADE BMX TEES FROM PROFILE KEEP CHECKING HERE I AM SURE THEY WILL POST SOON!!!

Dan and Aaron keeping cool in the Florida sun.

Speechless... Native BMX


Custom Native/DG seats, just $80!!!

James over at NATIVE BMX made us these sweeet custom Native seats complete with DG logos embossed right into them. They are so amazing I can't even write how excited I am to have them. They are already sold out and I didn't even have a chance to put one in the case. I do have one here I am saving for a customer who bought the first Native frame from the shop so if you wanna come see one it is here waiting for him. Thanks to James for making these kick ass seats!!! I am gonna try and get a few more soon, also Native street frames are soon in production and will be filling the shelves here at DG, we may even be doing a custom DG colorway..... You will want one if it works out!!! Come by and check out the seats and click the link and check out the Native site.

Trails season already?

When you get it, you get it. Here's an update from DG shredder Chris Dielloeeoliiieooo (Shawn White)

"Lately, since it's been 70 degrees everyday, I have been at the trails almost everyday digging either with shaun, my friends eddy and rob from Rhode Island, or alone. We've been getting shit done out at the trails and we're psyched. We usually dig for the whole day on saturday and then go ride at night under the lights at the park after, just like on days after school. Really happy on this weather and I can't wait to get everything running at the trails!!!"
Sounds like little Chris gets this whole BMX thing.... All you other kids can learn a thing or three from him...

Sam jones made a sweet edit!!

Franks weekend shinanigans....


Frank says: "Me and Nick had a pretty sweet session at Dayville park on sunday! Since the weather was so nice i actually got a little sunburnt, but no complaints here! In fact i was such a good time Nick broke his pedals again and i had to give him my old brite ass yellow shadows just to get him by. He hated the yellow so much we rode to lowes so he could by black spray paint lol! I love that kid! Oh and Sam jones would be proud that i learned ice pick grinds in 3 tries, yup im the man! "

Self proclaimed "the man" .... not bad.

Corndogs and fountain dew.


I decided to stay home this winter and not make my now pretty much annual trip to Florida in Feb. Well, that all changed when Mark called me to say he and Justin were headed back from Carolinas and then Half hour later Billy Ainsworth called me to ask if I would trip it motox style to Florida with him. One week later I am in Casselberry writing this post and it is 83 degrees.
Billy, Jason Connell, his dad Dan and I loaded up Connells sick trailer home and started west!! We spent the first day driving, then we at Wienerts training facility in NC. It was soaked with 3 days of rain when we arrived but the following day tha sand track was good to go. I rode about 8 laps, bu Billy and Jay put in a few good motos. I took pics and shot some video. After 2 days there we loaded up but not before messing around on our BMX bikes on a tree and some other fun little shit. I made an edit of Jay riding from his first moto while we drove to Jacksonville Florida the next day. Check it out on the bottom of this post!!

Tree plant. get it??
