Brad Hill recently took a trip down to Austin, TX with Jordan Krupa and Chris Cadot to do what every BMX rider in Canada does or wishes they could do in the winter, go somewhere warmer. He shot a bunch of photos on assorted cameras and sent through a recap of their trip. Read what he had to say about the Lone Star state and check out his photos below.
14 days in Austin, TX. The land of guns and big tittied blondes. Nah, actually our experience wasn’t like that at all, although we did see a couple seedy girls in the airport and dodged getting involved in a prostitution ring in this bar called Barbs on their gay night. We actually found ourselves in the city of Austin which felt like it had no retiring community and was just flooded with young people and barely touched spots. Even with the skyline the city has, Austin is actually built out and not up. It covers 770 square kilometers giving plenty of land to roam. I mean we’ve all seen tons of Texas spots in videos, but it’s kind of hard to really comprehend how much shit there is to ride there until you see it for yourself. I think the leeway of having 14 days there also gave us enough time to appreciate it and just enough time to miss home as well. Here’s some of the photos from the trip that haven’t been on the internet yet.

Our friend Brad Hill (aka Bobby) just released his summer mixtape that he’s been working on. It’s stacked with footage from friends across Canada too long to list, and edited to an appropriately pairing of music from classic oldies to Juicy J. Start your morning off with right with this watch.
Well here’s an interesting visual piece for you. Photographer (and independent publisher of Mountains) Brooks Reynolds directed this wildly lit video featuring BMX riding from Lee Dennis, Brad Hill, Josh Lichti and a whole lot of fireworks. I don’t know really know too much more about it other than that it’s a fun video to watch.

You may have already seen this posted elsewhere but we’re putting it up anyway for a few reasons. 1. It’s an awesome edit, 2. It was filmed and edited by one of Canada’s best, Brad Hill (who designed our anchor logo) 3. because the boys at Animal are best kind and 4. because it features a bunch of Canadian shralpers. Watch this if you haven’t already.
