Free Flow at Jaycee Park
We never get contests in Greenville, who would have thought? Being Pro Town and all…
Luckily Gatorade has a stop in Greenville for their series, “Free Flow Tour”.
With around 25 Beginner’s and 9 Am’s it was a great turn out and the future for BMX in Greenville looks great.
Freddy Smith came up from Orlando for beginners class and finish 2nd, and Mike Groff came all the way from the New Jersey area to take 3rd in Am.
The level of riding was anywhere from kids just riding on the flat ground to Australian Andrew Ahumada putting his name on the BMX scene with a 360 downside triple whip, a first in BMX, and he’s just an AM! Look out for him in Utah Dew Stop…
The youngest rider for the tour was at the Greenville stop coming in at just 4 years old!
It was a great day and great riding displayed by all the guys, and girl.
Hope this event continues for the future…
Tooker and Cooke in Fargo
Last weekend, Haro brand manager, Allan Cooke and myself went up to Fargo, North Dakota to visit to the local Scheels and ride in a Jam at Dike West Skatepark. Neither of us had been up there before so I knew it was going to be an adventure.
Scheels is a sporting goods store that carries just about everything having to do with outdoor fun. They had the 2011 Haro line out on the floor already. Allan worked pretty hard on the 2011 stuff, so he was pumped to see the bikes in a store for the first time.
Next was the Jam at Dike West. The park was cement and super smooth. I wasn’t sure how many kids would make it out to the jam because I’d never thought of Fargo, ND as a place for a BMX scene, but on the day of the jam kids traveled from all over. The turnout was great. The whole day was super chill. We taught the kids how to do flyout barspins and they even got Allan to do a flyout backflip, hahaha!! By the end of the Jam we did a product toss into one of the bowls and all the kids were pumped.
A successful, fun trip to say the least!
Lords of Dirt Video from Vans
Here is a video Vans Europe did for us at the Lords of Dirt event last weekend in Tosse, France.
Thanks Alex!
Lords of Dirt, France
This past weekend, Cory Nastazio and I traveled all the way to France for the “Lords of Dirt” contest. Here are some notes below on the trip. Thanks to Patrick Guimez for hooking us up with everything and for hosting a great event. See you next year!
1. Flying into Spain, and driving to France. I love Europe!
2. Staying in a house with 10 guys and one girl.
3. Checking out the contest jumps and seeing they were in 100% condition. Thank you for the hard work!
4. Going to the nearby beach. (Beautiful!)
5. It happened to be the hottest weekend of the year, so between runs we were resting in the Van with engine running and AC on all day.
6. The curved Wall-ride was really fun, at first I didn’t like it, but it was good to me.
7. Going to Mcdonalds everyday.
8. Nasty got an interview in a French magazine that has full nude women and extreme sports in it. What a combo.
9. Nasty got hurt in practice after a big fall. He went back up the roll in and did a run that would have got him top 3. It was nuts! But then his hand swelled up and he had to sit out of the contest.
10. Getting to hang out and ride with a bunch of cool people with a good atmosphere in a beautiful part of the world.
Mackay
Enarson bio from Alli
Dennis is one of my favorite dudes, as a rider he is one of the best in the world. I don’t think any other Pro has as much fun as him. Stoked to have him apart of Haro…

We’re off to France!
Cory “Nasty” Nastazio and myself (Colin Mackay) decided last minute to jump on a plane to France for a big dirt jumping contest this weekend.
Stay in touch for a full report from on the road with Nasty, its going to be wild!
Our week at Woodward video
We got to spend a week at Woodward East back in June and here is a video Terrell Gordy put together from our stay. Thanks again to Woodward for the memories!
Dew Tour Stop #2 – Portland
This weekend was the Wendy’s Invitational in Portland, stop #2 of The Dew Tour for BMX. In Park we got Nyquist, Enarson, Napolitan and Tooker. In dirt we had Enarson, Nyquist, and Nastazio. Prelims for dirt were on Thursday and Dennis killed it, qualifying 1st with Ryny coming in 3rd. On to finals for those guys while Nastazio headed back to California without a bike. Not only did Nasty fall both of his runs, his bike got stolen out of his hotel room some how. In the dirt final on Friday, both guys set the course on fire and when all was said and done it was Dennis 3rd, Ryan 2nd.
In BMX Park, Ryan put in a pretty good couple of runs that only got him scores good enough to sit him on the bubble spot for a few minutes until Denarson came and bumped him out. Dennis rode well in the final ending up 6th. Good job, D!
Next stop, Salt Lake for stop #3!
Vancouver Cyclery Shop Visit
Today Marcus Tooker, Ronnie Napolitan, Ryan Nyquist, Dan Foley, Allan Cooke and myself arrived in Portland, Oregon for the Dew Tour stop 2. Allan Hooked it up at a local Haro Dealer for us to come by and hang out with the riders.
The Shop was called “Vancouver Cyclery” in Washington State, about 20 minutes from down town Portland. Shop Boss Bob greeted us and Jesse an employee gave me a hand adjusting my new bike that I just got yesterday. (Thanks again!)
There were around 50 local riders in attendance and we hung out in the parking lot eating Pizza and played “foot down” and the winner took home a new Haro SD frame! We sessioned the bunny hop post set up and Mike Girard took the win at 39 inches!
We had a best flat ground trick which was a fakie to half cab barspin. Honorable mention goes to the kid that did the hippy hop on the bunny hop stick, hands first then feet style, that was sick! (Double click the video to play below for evidence!) Also the 180 Bar with a slice of Pizza in the mouth was decent. Check the pic!
All the riders were cool and the shop was outfitted with a bunch of Haro bikes and products and about 12 Haro posters of Ryan Nyquist from throughout his career. Nice collection!
Thanks for the fun afternoon guys!
