I was going threw some tapes for a new post and I came across this little gem!

HeavyHitters in NJ!

2009-07-20T15:07:00.002-04:00

The RIDEBMX media superpowers crew and numerous amazing riders passed through on saturday. The tricks were non-stop on this glorious day! Buy this video called "Range of Motion" when it drops cause you will see amazing riding from this stop and many more. BIG UP's to HUCKER for shutting down our trails with 720's, oppo 720's, countless other tricks, and a double flip that sealed the deal. He was dirtier and bloodier than anyone else that day. I poured him a beer bong for the extra sweet riding!! Enarson, Nasty, Parslow, and Dilleward also destroyed it! BUY the video!!

BIG DADDY = UP 1 !!!

2009-07-20T15:05:00.004-04:00

Road Fools is over.......

2009-04-30T21:31:00.005-04:00

WOW! Where do I start!?? Good times were had, alotta people got broke off on this trip including Daddy. A 720 gone wrong on day 3 left him with a purple ankle/foot combo. He swears that it wasn't broken and also was quoted saying " I have an un-breakable type of manufacturing that most humans are not equipped with!!"........He refused to accept the fact that his ankle was "totally fucked", and decided to try and ride the last 2 days after extensive proper natural herbal healing remedies and about 30 bags of ice. He got a few rail tricks done at a skatepark and then tried some manual line to over derek-duster and twisted it up again. Bad Luck struck him and a hand full of others. But all in all it was a swell time.!! Fuck anyone who hates on Catfish! He kept us on our toes and laughing all day, everyday! He also edjucated all of us on UFO's and Chemtrails. Much respect to him! Rollaz! HUGE THANKX goes out to all the riders, all the fun we had, to the Props crew: Marco, Chris, Stew, and Walter, the one and only Rob Dolecki, Catfish, Nick the Etnies bus driver, Povah, Dean at Factory Skatepark for the food and beers, and to anyone else that made this trip a good time!!! Now here's some pics......

Demo in Asbury, NJ this past weekend...

2009-03-15T19:23:00.002-04:00

Our boy Mookie works at a bike shop in Asbury. Him and John Decaprio built a few small street obstacles and a small quarter pipe a had a little in-store demo. Along with an Art show and a few bands, on hand were a group of *heavyhitters* to throw down. Some to list were : Big Daddy, Van Homan, Garrett Byrnes, Decaprio, Ian , Jesse Valpone, Travis Applegate and a few others. The vibe was awesome and the tricks got wild!

My nine months of HELL!!!

2009-03-06T15:19:00.003-05:00

Figured I'd post this. Its footage of me(Brad Gethard) breaking my lower leg, compound fracture style, at a contest in France over 4 years ago. An oldie but a goodie. haaa. Glad I can laugh at this now, but this injury took 9 grueling months to heal and stranded me in a French hospital for 11 days where only 2 people spoke english.?? Weird because France and England are only a long swim apart and only 1 inch away from each other on the map. I eventually received what appeared to be a hospital and ambulance bill for 12,000 euros I'm guessing a year later which I stored in a safe place at the bottom of my trash can....

MEGA HUGE CORPORATE SE BIKES METTING...

2009-03-01T13:03:00.005-05:00

Big Daddy, myself and CJ took a stroll out to Philly to meet up with the "Wildman" and other big wigs over at the SE headquarters the other day. Pretty much wrapped up design and finishing details of Daddy's new signature frame in the works named the "Heavy-Hitter". Should be a pretty legit bike!

Jeremy Lusk. R.I.P

2009-02-10T11:04:00.004-05:00

Terrible news hearing that Jeremy Lusk just passed away. He went down hard and suffered a brain injury. This is horrible thing that really hits home being that myself, Daddy, Augie, and Cory do FMX / BMX shows every weekend and are around alot of people that know him on a more personal level. Watching this guy shred first hand at the DEW stops this year and now this!!... Prayers go out to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Buddy! -Brad

Quote of the Day...... Big Daddy to Brian Foster....

2009-01-07T19:15:00.006-05:00

So while riding the incline club today with Daddy, Foster, Brad Jameson, and a few others, Foster motions a nohander on the deck and big daddy comes up in a tailtap on the ramp were chillin on and says in mid tailtap, "Foster, do what your hearts tellin you and cross your friggin arms for god's sake!!" I guess you had to be there....Fun Day for sure!

P.S Daddy bet foster 5 bucks he couldn't do an x-factor and Foster manned up to the challenge. He told me he bought salsa and cream cheese with the money....
