Leo Romero – Eswic Spring Launch Commercial from ESWIC on Vimeo.

“Eswic is proud to announce the launch of our much anticipated Spring 2012 printables program of tee shirts and hats. This launch mark’s eswic’s initial injection into the retail market and features artwork by Ed Templeton as well as designs inspired by team riders Leo Romero, Cairo Foster and James Hardy.

The essential elements of style are put in motion with eswic’s Spring Collection while paving the way for an expanded offering beyond tees and hats that will continue to showcase our synergy between skaters and artists.” – Eswic

Eswic rockin the Ride x Create Vibe with their new spring collection that incorporates the “synergy between skaters and artists.”  I really dig this!  Looking forward to checking out some of their apparel!! 

Meet up with Chase Freeman (fresh new Folly Skate Team Rider, more photo’s/video/bio to come shortly) and shot a couple quick photo’s messing around on the Baker Box of Love!!  He was killing some kickflip backside tailslides (probably because he had a Folly Pocket Tee on)!!

Here are a few really sweet bikes/photo’s from Erik Jonsson.  Big thanks to The 5th Floor for promoting Erik’s work from Rudy Melo’s Kagero build post!   

Damn!!  Very nice Kagero build from Rudy Melo!  Check out more sweet photo’s over at The 5th Floor!

Frame and Fork: Kagero
Wheels: Mavic Ellipse + Continental Gatorskin
Crankset: Sugino 75 + Sugino Zen Chainring
Pedals: Look Keo 2 Max
Bars and Stem: Pro Alloy Bars – Mark Cavendish Star Series + Road Thomson Stem + FSA headset

BAM!! Shirt swap success! I’ve easily picked up my average by at least 2 miles mph since I’ve been wearing TRAFIK’s “Catch My Draft” Tee. Hopefully TRAFIK will benefit as much with the Ride x Create Vibe we sent their way with our Folly Pocket Tee !! Ride x Create my friends!!

Couldn’t sleep so the obvious choice was to ride to Waffle House and dominate a couple bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits! It was accomplished with successful results! Time to go burn it off! Or go back to bed. Have yet to decide.

Stole this from Blood Wizard‘s Instagram (@blood_wizard)!  Seemed appropriate for this Friday the 13th!!

Yes and yes!!  “The Steel Pint is a stainless steel pint glass, sans glass. It’s built to take a beating without shattering and will happily carry 16 fluid ounces of your favorite tasty beverage.”  Paul also has two new colors added to their bottle openers “There’s a bottle opener on one end, a 15mm brake spring adjuster on the other, and 56g of cool 6061 aluminum in between.”  You can pick up both items for less than $40!  A sick stainless pint glass and a tool to adjust your breaks/open your beer!!  WIN WIN!!  Very nicely done Paul, my hats off to you!  Cheers!!

Lundberg Loses It from Kenny Luby on Vimeo.

State Bicycle Co. announced yesterday that they “signed professional downhill skater, bike messenger, and all around Swedish badass Erik Lundberg!”.  This video is awesome!  It takes a lot of focus and big cojones to dominate the downhill!  I’m very excited to see this sweet combo of State and Lundberg come together!  Ride x Create my friends!!
