CLOSED ON SATURDAY JUNE22ND!!! OPEN SUNDAY!!


This Saturday we will be CLOSED!! Sorry for the inconvenience but I will be attending the last ever Southwick MX National and I just can't miss it.
I will however open the shop on Sunday all day to take care of anyone who missed out on Saturday.
My love for MX has taken priority over opening the store. As always feel free to give me a call if you need anything important and I can try and meet you here Sat. evening. Thanks, and have a great weekend, see you Sunday!!!

A wonderful 24 hours, Albany pool weekend Day(morning) 2!!

This is awesome!!  Woke up earlier than the rest of my guys to find people already cleaning out the pool from last nights antics...  After a bit of cleanup I grabbed my bike and the camera and caught some good times, early morning table to back end drifter!!!


Somewhere in the first evening I was made painfully aware that I was def. the oldest guy at the pool. I'm not sure if thats all that bad a deal, I know I had as much fun if not more than those younger than I am. I also was able to to Table out of the pool with a shark mask on. If actions speak louder than words, I am younger than my age and everyone else tells me I am.

Greg Rooke with a sweet pedal to 270 into the slipperyness... NICE!!!

Steve road more than most, ripping this thing all night, and in the weee morning hours till everyone was almost gone. Good times

I was Planning on doing a tire tap till I lost all confidence in myself after watching this one. Nasty!!!

Just riding this thing was a blast, you could air it out all day long with a huge smile when you got back to the shallows.

Matt Burns crank flipped his way to a good time. Always a great road trip buddy!!!

Fast plant to peg chinker, I was pretty psyched on this classic Chuck style trick. Thanks to Joe for clicking the shutter button on the exact second, making me look good!!!

All in all, 3 shops were represented here in one day of fun and good time friendships all because of a bicycle. Big Thanks to Gregg at Fat-Trax for getting us out there. Looking forward to more of the same later this summer!!

Sam Jones, Minute in Mansfield

Josh Foisey came through with a quick edit of Sam Jones messin round at the prefab Mansfield Ct park.  This place is fun, and Moes is just a few feet away.   Sam Jones does 5 lines here while Foisey ate shit once, got stung by a bee, and broke his camera light.  Good times.

Albany pool weekend: Day(night) one


The guys over at Fat trax were nice enough to extend the invite to their pool party. Just outside Albany NY there is a hidden gem. Everyone spent the first part of the day cleaning it, then it was time to have a fire and get to it. I took the whole DG crew plus a great shop friend Damien Burch, and Matt from Burns BMX. Perfect road trip crew, just good ol fun. Here's round one of pics.
My first run was beers deep, and I had sunglasses on for some reason!  I also ate shit on run number 1 but that is to be expected....






Such good times, shreddin a board was gnarly in the dark and as slippery as it was hours after it was drained. No prob for this guy!!! Bad ASS!!!!!

Spring freshen up.

Little Chris finally cleaned up his ride. We painted her a custom Camo and put fresh Fit Nightvision tires and some new ODI grips. The rest of his bike is built tough in the good ol USA so all that shit was good to go. Native trendkill frame,Native bars, Profile hubs/stem/crank James made Chris a super sick custom Native seat with a sweeet DG logo in there too!!! Chris' bike is dialed for flowing some lines at the park and the trails.... Check it out.
