Valvo pipe mission

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Our flow rider from Brazil, Valvo recently hit up a pretty nice looking spot. Thanks to Tico for the photos and some words from the mission…

“Leandro told us about those pipes that were parked on The Marginal Road, which is one of the main roads down here in

Sao Paulo. Then, on Saturday, myself, Valvo and Leandro went there to check it out and see if you could ride

there…Fortunately the guy that was looking after the pipes allowed us to ride and we had an amazing time!!!”

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

On our way back home from a 2 week trip here in the USA & Canada. Just spent 3 days up in Vancouver with Dave Osato & his wife Johanna, taking in the sites of Vancouver. It was a really nice weekend for sure. They took us around & showed us some cool stuff, we ate good food & had a few drinks. We even caught up with Jay Miron as well. He is doing well it seems with his absence from BMX.

It was also good to catch up with Blaise & Tammy from Kill Em All Distribution as well.

We just spent the day in LA now & got a hire car to cruise around in. Had to go something American & fun. So enter the Dodge Challenger R/T with it’s 5.7L V8 Hemi. Fun times !!

Which Parts do you go through the most?

I find I go through pedals, grips and tires the fastest.

Describe your Bike setup and how you like your bike to feel…

I like it super solid not making any noise, not too light either or else everything starts to feel sketchy. Also into the feel of taller bars.

What part are you most particular about or do you feel makes the biggest difference on your bike?

Having the wheels true obviously. Angle of the bars make a pretty big difference and that they’re aligned with the front wheel, I don’t know how kids can ride without it being straight. It drives me crazy whenever the headsets creaking or the chains loose too.

Plans for the future?

Keep having fun and continue filming for a little web edit. Also start saving up this winter for a couple trips. I’d love to head down to Cali and check out Europe one of these days.

Big thanks to Clint at Colony, as well as Blaise and Tammy at Kill Em All Distro for hooking me up with the bike.
