Eastern Bikes Tea Time from Eastern Bikes on Vimeo.

“Kelly Bolton and Josh Perry went to England to check out some local shops, ride parks and hit the NASS contest. We met up with Eastern rider, Scott Hamlin who was with us the entire trip keeping us laughing the whole time.”- Leigh Ramsdell.

As you probably know, Josh Perry was diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumor in April. Recently he got cleared to ride again, and met up with Kelly Bolton and Drew Bezanson to have a chill first session back at Mirra’s warehouse.

Josh Perry Video Interview – More BMX Videos

Josh talks about his brain tumor in this after his surgery. His head is looking pretty gnarly during the interview but it’s awesome that he made it through this, and it’ll definitely be great to see him get back on his bike.

At the end there’s some footage of Josh riding from 2008 and 2009.

Go to Props Visual for more videos.
It’s Friday and that means Props sections! This one’s a Winter midwest skatepark tour featuring a bunch of white guys. It appeared in the most recent issue of Props, so this is a fresh new one:

Josh Perry has an interview fresh out of brain surgery up on Dig.

A little over a week ago it was announced that Josh Perry had a brain tumor. Well it sounds like his surgery went well and that he should be making a good recovery. Great to hear.

Never met Josh but damn, this sucks:

“Josh Perry informed us of some unfortunate news this week. His head had been hurting for a few weeks and his vision was even a bit blurred. Josh had fallen on his bike, but never hit his head hard enough for these kinds of symptoms. When he went to the doctor and was examined, a tumor was found in his head. The doctors say that it’s benign and not cancerous. The tumor is not in the brain tissue yet, but will continue to grow, so they have to do surgery to remove it. The good news is that the tumor is not scattered, so removing it shouldn’t be too difficult. Josh is currently seeing neurologists and taking steps to prepare for surgery. The Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) has flown Josh’s parents in to be with him through this. Josh said; “Thanks to everyone for the support and good wishes. I’ll definitely be going crazy while off my bike and looking forward to riding with everyone again!!!”

We are all thinking about you Josh! Resist/Recover/Ride!”

Via Eastern. Hopefully everything goes alright and Josh can be back to 100% again soon.

Spoilers: Subrail feeble to 180 over smith to back, nosebonk tailwhip to dog piss air over a sub rail and backflip fakie to 180 frontflip flair.

Here’s a web video of the Eastern team riding in Europe:

“Eastern Bikes sent Eric Holley, Karl Poynter, Josh Perry and Team Manager Leigh Ramdell to France and Spain for a quick trip. This video shows you the amazing time they had and the great riding that went down.”

Some super good riding in this. But the highlight is probably the intro which features Karl Poynter shirtless.

Josh Perry is ridiculously good at riding and talks about his new Eastern “Journey” frame in this web video made by Ryan Guettler. Nose bonk bar catch bar? WTF

That frame looks just dandy so go buy it here, and be as good as Josh.

Rumor: Brett Silva, of AOTC fame is also supposedly on Eastern Flow, yeah Brett…
