TLP presents BFF New York Grands
The Last People present the BFF New York Grands
June 26 4:30pm
A BMX race, New York City style.
Get back to the roots of BMX with a race through the streets of the city, battling your friends to the finish. Bump elbows for the holeshot, from the starting point along the East River at 23rd Street. Navigate your way to two undisclosed checkpoints where you will have to roast an obstacle of some kind. Then sprint your way to the finish line at the Bicycle Film Festival. Take a minute to catch your breath, and sit back and enjoy the BMX screenings.
Top 10 finishers get free entry to the screenings, and will be awarded some awesome prizes from Quintin, FBM, Sunday, Terrible One, Dig, Anthem, Act Like You Know, Franchise, Post, and some of BFF's sponsors including a pizza from Two Boots. Awards will be announced inside the theater (Anthology Film Archives) at 6:00 pm. Be ready to shred!
UPDATE : BLACKEN and Operativ added as sponsors. Winners announced by BLACKEN's Darryl Nau. Flyer updated accordingly.
Catty Jam | Sunday 5/29
Come to the woods on Sunday to help ride in the jumps, hang with the crew, and shred the gnar. Some awesome prizes will be given out from Nemy, Action Wheels, and Spoked up, as well as another really awesome secret prize. Don't miss it! After this non-stop rain spree, we all need a good session, so spread the word and bring some grub. Rain date will be Monday.
Keyko Sessions
We have been heading up to Sea Cliff for some sessions at Keyko the past couple of weeks. The place is coming along great thanks to Supes, Steveo, Oscar and the rest of the dudes up there. It's hard to beat a day riding trails topped off with a Sea Cliff sunset. Enjoy these photos of the good times.
TLP Interview with Clint Reynolds
Originally from New Hampshire, now residing in the haven that we know as Austin, Texas, Clint is making his mark on the BMX subculture. He is the co-founder and creator of Credence Bikes, a company with a niche in the trail scene, making straightforward, sleek-looking, handmade frames by Reynolds himself in USA. He rolls with some of the biggest badasses around, helping progress his riding to great levels, and scoring him a standout part in one of the best BMX videos in years, Anthem II. Clint's way of living makes me think about what I am doing, and inspires me to do things my way, and live a simple happy life. Here is the man behind the wheel of the veggie-powered turtle bus, Clint Reynolds.
Fit Trip
Fit has up an awesome new edit from a trip some of the team took from TX to AZ. Some good Van and Dan Conway footage. Check it out. Fit also has up a pretty good read on Brian Foster.
Amity
We ran into the Amity dudes on our travels. Super nice and super modest guys. Here's two new edits from Matt Priest and Bob Manchester in TX.
TLP - PA to TX trip video
In March some TLP homies took a road trip for 2 weeks, driving from Reading, PA and eventually landing in Austin, TX. This was best trip any of us had been on. Good vibes, great people, amazing coffee and tons of spots.
Catty Dig
On Friday night, Yoda, Grady, Jon Lynn and myself drove out to PA for my thirtieth bday party at my parents. We got to hang with fam and see a bunch of friends, it was a blast. Jon had to split the next day, but Sean took his place after a bus trip to Sands and few brews while waiting for us to pick him up. We proceeded to Catty for a digging session in the woods. Lots of work got done on Fonzy, which is looking pretty dialed, but the rest of the trails all need to be clayed up. It was good to see Marky T with a shovel in hand. Flash was also working on his and Abe's monstrosity, which might be the craziest landing I've ever scene. Grady and I are heading to Austin tomorrow for a quick trip to ride and hang with the crew down there. I am stoked for that, but also can't wait to get the trails going in PA. More digging to come... please help if you can. Here are some photos from the day.
NEMY
Go out and support NEMY, a new BMX specific shop opening in the Philly area. Orchid premier will be awesome. Also check out the video they posted from Ray's. 1:20 is nuts. If you've ever been, you will see why.
