A few months ago Tony Neyer left the TCU compound for a Red Bull trip to Austin. I didn’t really know what he was doing out there, but this explains it. Red Bull brought a bunch of their top pro riders like Drew Bezanson, Corey Bohan (can you believe this was his first time in Austin?), Bas Keep, Hucker and Anthony Napolitan plus some friends (Tony Neyer, Matt Beringer) down to Texas for some good times. They even managed to get some Joe Rich footage. What’s not to like?

Wow, so this is something from the archives that a lot of you are going to be excited to see. Back in 1998 a French video magazine called Frame 1 interviewed Joe Rich, focusing mostly on the then newly formed, Terrible One.

Clicked has a good interview with Joe. If you’re a long time Joe fan you probably won’t find too much here that you don’t already know but I was kind of surprised to read

The T1 crew took a trip to Australia in April, and here is a beautiful 16 minute video of their experience.

Four piece bars are a controversial thing in this modern day world. Animal have been extremely successful with their Scerbo bars while other 4 piecers (Odyssey and Sputnic have both put out some that I don’t think they even make anymore) haven’t been very well liked. T1 are taking a shot with their new signature Elf bars:

“Four piece bars were big throughout the 80’s and 90’s. The Haro Kneesavers ruled all for a few years, and GT followed up with some of their own four piece creations. As the years went on, you saw them less and less. However, every so often, different takes on four piece bars have popped up from time to time due to various interest. Jump forward to 2011 and T-1. Our interest comes from our very own Shawn ‘Elf’ Walters. We have worked with Shawn on these to fine tune them to his liking. Nothing earth shattering, just some dialing in here and there. Two piece bars will still remain far above all else, at the top… but we are proud to offer something that riders like Elf might enjoy. Bikes are so very similar these days, so if you are considering a different look, then peek inside.”

What do you guys think? The 8.2″ rise might make them a good option for those of you who like Scerbo’s but want a little more height.

Oh and while we’re here check out an epic Joe Rich wallpaper here.

Props just uploaded a contest video packed ful of huge names, such as Mat Hoffman, Dennis McCoy, Taj Mihelich, Chad DeGroot, Joe Rich, Rooftop, Rick Moliterno, Jay Miron, Kevin Robinson, Dave Osato, and Rob Nolli. That’s not a complete list, either.

Man this is amazing, so much good riding from so many legends. Required watching, I don’t care if you’re 14 and can’t appreciate it.

T-1 “We Love Colorado” 2010 from joe rich on Vimeo.

Joe Rich, Danny Hickerson, Joseph Frans, and Tom Dugan took a trip to Colorado to escape the daily grind and relax. This beautifully shot videos does an excellent job of capturing everything about the adventure.

Expendable Youth – The Terrible Ones from bmxmdb.com on Vimeo.

What a classic section from a classic (to me at least) video. Joe Rich, Taj Mihelich and Robbie Morales ride Woodward and trails in Fox’s Expendable Youth Video, which has to be over 10 years old by now.

With a fist of seatpost and a 30t sprocket, Joe Rich keeps it real. See the man’s ride in detail here.
