Big news time! After being the team manager from our inception in April of 2005, I’ve decided it was time to focus on other duties at Sunday and step away from the team manager role. It’s been a great 8 years in this role, but Sunday has grown so much that it was time to bring on a new TM. In doing so, I would like to introduce Walter Pieringer as Sunday’s new TM. Walter’s an amazing photographer, filmer and trip organizer, so it make sense for him to step into this new role. He will also be working with Odyssey as their TM as well. Look for him and the

The Am Flatland Circuit is back for 2013 and will once again consist of four of the largest flatland events in North America. Toronto has been a mainstay on the AMFLT Circuit since day one and will start off the 2013 series this coming March. Anarchy in Anderson will be back in June as Round 2 after a successful debut in 2012. Round 3 adds Philadelphia as a new city to the Circuit as we partner up with the Tuner Evolution car show for what will no doubt be an event to remember. And finally, the year-end winners will be crowned when the Circuit returns to Texas to hold the finals as we join forces with the Texas Flatland Round-Up event.

The 2012 Am Flatland Circuit was a great success, and we all look forward to next year, including the 2012 Pro Class Champion out of Czech Republic, Dominik Nekolny: “I’m really happy I [was a] part of the Circuit. This kind of thing is very important for the scene and for new riders who can track their progress and keep motivated for the whole year. I really look forward to participating in the 2013 AMFLT Circuit and hope 

Some unexpected news came in from Brian Kachinski: “After many great years with Etnies, I will no longer be a part of the team. It’s been a pleasure working with some amazing people at Etnies. I will miss my Etnies teammates greatly but luckily this is BMX and I’m sure I’ll be seeing you guys somewhere around the globe soon. Thanks for having me as a part of the family. I have plenty of good memories, shared tons of laughs and always appreciated helping the BMX program. Best wishes moving forward. 2013 is going to be amazing. There’s some excited stuff I’ve been

In Spring of 2012, I had the opportunity to take on the role as Brand Manager of Snafu. For over a decade, I rode for Snafu under the helm of the one and only Mcgoo. Throughout the years, I got to be a part of the Snafu team that consisted of some of the worlds best BMX riders that were hand picked by former Snafu Brand Manager Mcgoo. I am so stoked to now be able to put together a team that consists of riders that I respect, on and off of their bikes, that is quickly becoming what I believe is one of the best teams in BMX. 

The new year has started. It's the time of picking up riders and riders being dropped. This came in from The Set: The international nomad and all round shredder Brad Simms and The Set have parted. It's a mutual agreement & It's all love both ways and it's always hard to see a friend go. We were stoked to have Brad involved with us from day one to help build the brand, we've had a bunch of good times since Brad's been with us and we wish him all the best for the future!
