It’s pretty crazy another year has come and gone… One of my favorite things about New Years is going through all our old posts and seeing what was the most viewed. Like we’ve done over the past few years, here’s a list we compiled featuring the top 10 most viewed posts on the site. As I explained last year, this list is a bit skewed because posts that went up earlier in the year have had more time to gain views, but surpassingly the number one most viewed post was just put up a few days ago… So even though posts that went up earlier in the year might have more time to get views, the list always seems to be pretty spot on.

The best part about this list, is aside from a few posts, everything in the list is either original content, or exclusive content that we worked with brands/people on. That has always been our main goal – to bring the best original content as possible – and it looks like it’s paying off!

Huge thanks to everyone who continues to support the site and everyone that we worked with to bring you the amazing content that we’ve had on the site over the past year. We have lots in store for 2012 and can’t wait for another amazing year!

Keep reading to check out the top 10 and have an amazing New Years!!!

Just like last year, I saved up a bunch of my photos to put together a little year end “scrapbook”.

These photos are from various travels and days out and about. I’m always carrying a camera, so there’s a good mix of BMX and assorted randomness in here. Some photos are from previous galleries, but a whole lot more are brand new.

Thanks to anyone who let me snap a pic.

Click below to check them out.

Enjoy!

Featuring: Nathan Williams, Ryan Lloyd, Corey Martinez. Alex Valentino, Ashley Charles, Ryan Metro, Luke Peeters, Geoff Slattery, Roy Van Kempen, Dan Boiski, Jimmy Rushmore, Christian Rigal, Kye Forte, Leo Forte & Dean Hearne.

We just wanted to send a quick shout out to everyone and say Happy Holidays! We really appreciate everyone’s support and if it wasn’t for you guys this site wouldn’t be what it is today. Hope everybody gets some nice chill time over the holidays and we are looking forward to another amazing year.

We’ll still be posting throughout the holiday, but things will probably be a bit slower due to all the food and drinks we will be consuming! Thanks again and have a great holiday!

Here’s a cool little piece on Robbo’s recent visit to Austin, put together by Stew Johnson.

A friend and I came across the design work of French artist Florian Chevillard, a.k.a. BuroLoco, and we loved it (I was especially into the awesome window displays he created for Hermes). Later on we were lucky enough to have him design the latest Lavar tees. Click below to read a quick interview with Florian and check out some samples of his work.

I’ve followed Kai Kuusisto on Flickr for a while, so I’m not sure what took me so long to post his stuff. However, the above photo prompted me to change all that.

Some new ALYK shit featuring Troy Tunney and Kyle Murway just came through courtesy of Brandon Galosi.

“Our Southern Ohio cats doing great things right before the Midwest winter takes grasp of Ohio. Troy Tunney and Kyle Murway are going to have amazing full parts in the newest volume of ALYK.; No Days Off.

Don’t get it twisted though, this web video idea won’t be a regular occurrence for the crew, as well as the use of an HD camera. It was just a glitch in the matrix. Expect a trailer for the newest release from ALYK. early 2012.”
