This is an interview from 2013 that was made for John Paul Rogers and Empire BMX's now-defunct Collateral Media Site that we're reposting in memory of our friend Mark "FIDS" Findlay who passed away on December 8, 2024 after a short battle with cancer.
Earlier this summer, our NW boys Mike Hoder, Aryei Levenson and Coltin Knudson mobbed up to Canada to ride the Rock Bay BMX Jam put on by our new Canadian Distro. TIMELESS BMX. En route, they took the ENNS route and ended up Jason Enns' place for a "PASTURE PRIME" ramp sesh.

Even though Mark was on an S&M already, we decided to take the next step in our relationship and started going steady roughly 6-months ago...
After close to two-years of C*vid-induced isolation, it was time to get the band back together. The plan? Assemble at Clint's compound to shred the Bear Bowl and roast Northeastside, then jump in the bus to head to PA for the Posh/Catty Jams, followed by a final leg at 9 Acres and adjacent dirt churches.
Mike Hoder, Craig Passero, Hucker, Charlie Crumlish, Chris Childs, Kareem Williams, Dan Norvell, Aryei Levenson, Mike Stahl, Trevor Sigloch and Pedro all killing it in SoCal!
