We’ve written down 100 random questions and assorted topics, all of which are unbeknownst to our victims. We will be asking people to pick 20 random numbers from 1-100 and then supplying them with those questions/topics to answer. Who knows what might come up!?!?!
Next up, Jersey’s own Bob Scerbo.
Having learned that David Grant enjoys shooting photos from his recent DIG interview, I decided to hit him up and see if he would be down to contribute an Autophoto. Being a fan of riders who also shoot, I was psyched to know he was down.
Click below to check out David Grant’s Autophoto. All the photos were taken on Canon or Minolta 35mm cameras.
Be sure to follow David Grant on Instagram too.
The DIG logo. Anyone who has eyeballed the magazine over the years is familiar with it. A chainring and interlocking hands; it’s pretty classic in my opinion.
Out of nowhere, I glanced at the logo one day (after looking at it for many many years) and all these questions popped into my head about it. What did I do next? You guessed it… harassed DIG Magazine’s Editor-in-Cheif Will Smyth about it.

It’s been about a year since we last hit up Matty (pictured here on the right) about his favorite iPhone apps, so let’s see what he’s using now.

Alex Valentino came through with this lifestyle gallery from the trip, so click below to check it out. Shout out to Alex and MarieJade crew.

Anyone who frequents Brian Castillo’s Instagram has surely taken notice of his unique “old-timey” motorcycle. It’s hard to overlook. I’ve seen it enough times to want to grill him about it, so click below to learn about Brian’s OTHER bike.

I always dreamed of going to Detroit, I don’t know why. It lived up to everything I imagined.

Are you new to Defgrip? Just started checking the site over the last year or 2? Well, time to catch up on some sweet original content our crew have produced. If you’ve been with us since the beginning, there’s no harm in revisiting these again. Either way, we appreciate ya.
Harrison Boyce and Andrew McMullen have sat down with some interesting BMX & NON-BMX characters for video interviews starting back in 2008. These interviews were pretty different for BMX at the time and I think they did a good job at connecting you with these people (I didn’t produce them so I can say that, ha). Subjects include Ruben Alcantara, Cory Nastazio (probably the most talked about Original), Greyboy, The History of Oakley and much much much more…
Click below to check out all the Defgrip Originals. Enjoy!
Unless you’ve been living under a pile of roses, than you should be aware that Subrosa’s Get Used To It video is available now. Featuring Hoang Tran, Lahsaan Kobza, Simone Barraco, Joris Coulomb, Mark Mulville, Kyle Hart and Scott Ditchburn (and many others), naturally makes this one to feast your eyeballs on.
The DVD is available in shops and mail orders now, along in digital download form HERE.
I hit up Ryan Sher to compile a list of assorted GUTI facts, so click below to check them out.
Last month I was fortunate enough to partake in a journey with several of my friends to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I had originally proposed the idea a month or more before the trip occurred and did not hear anything about it until a few days before. It was a surprise to me that it was actually occurring.
Scotty Wemmer, Bobby Simmons and Rob DiQuattro had all journeyed to Columbus to meet up with Scott Marceau and myself. From there the five of us had headed down to Louisville, Kentucky to stay the night at Jordan Stump’s house. In the morning Phil Bossmeyer and Tyler “Kid” Rembold had shown up after they had worked all night. The Word Crew (Jordan, Phil and Tyler) all work third shift and had little rest for the 10 hour adventure we had ahead of us. The 8 of us packed up the bags and bikes and then headed out west.
The photos taken documented the entire trip; Hotels to hospitals and everything in between.

Brian Yeagle has graciously contributed this travel based Q&A he did with Walter Pieringer, along with some photos that he’s taken throughout their travels together. There’s no doubt that Walter likes to “dive in” when it comes to traveling. Continue reading to check it all out!
Shout out to Brian Yeagle for the submission.

It’s difficult to think of persons you have traveled with more than once and had not at some point become agitated toward that person for something trivial or significant during that time together. It is with greater rarity to be able to name someone who has been an itinerant comrade a few times over and say truthfully that they have always made the experience richer, more pleasant, thrilling and basically were also the decisive element in making the whole thing possible from the start.
Every time I have traveled with Walter Pieringer he not only engages every bit of action that arises but also takes many steps to initiate interesting experiences for himself and his companions. His oversized woodshop-style glasses might lead you to believe he instructs teenaged Texans day in and day out making birdhouses and mailboxes; until the moment comes when you observe his prodigious employment of the Iphone and camera making quick work of any logistics and capturing images of unmistakable authorship. His command over these tools as well as others can easily leave one nonplussed and very appreciative when falling under the rendered benefits. From traipsing around Tokyo to a failed motorcycle ascent of a volcano in Ecuador, my admiration has grown for his draw to the unfamiliar and the necessary skills he’s cultivated making it possible to bring any concept into actuality.
I made an inquiry into his venturesome lifestyle and wanted to share some portraits of Walter I have made during our time traveling together.

Kink’s “Squash It” video is all set to premier soon. After roughly over a year in the making, 2 trailers and numerous ads, it’s all done.
With that said, we’ve hit up Ben Hittle, Sean Sexton, Aaron Smith, Darryl Tocco, Lloyd Wright, Dan Coller, Tony Hamlin and Chris Doyle to reflect on their time making this video and to recount any memorable moments that come to mind.
Thanks to Jay Roe for the assistance!

This time, we’ve called on Ride BMX’s own Ryan Fudger. Click below to read what he had to say.
First off, let’s welcome HUCKER to the Vans team. Yep! Makes total sense. Congrats dude.
Second off, click below to check out his welcome edit along with a Q&A with Justin Kosman (who produced it). Now!
For this years Simple Session, we were able to get our friend Vincent Perraud out there to cover the whole thing for us. We’re fans of Vince around here and I knew he would come back with great photos, which he did (and delivered in a super timely manner). I fucking love this gallery; it captures the atmosphere, the people, the scene and the riding perfectly. Dude even got into the rafters.
Cheers to Vincent, Risto and the Simple Session crew.

Drew Hosselton, Aaron Smith, Connor Lodes, Ronnie Napolitan, Mike Mastroni & Joey Cobbs recently hit up Costa Rica for a Demolition team trip, dubbed Ticos and Tamales Tour. All seemed to be going well until their gear got stolen. Ultra weak sauce.
Fortunately, some disposable camera pics survived! Why some nut garglers wouldn’t steal disposable cameras is beyond me. Click below for some photos from the trip.
Walter Pieringer provided us with this travelogue from his travels to Japan with Brian Yeagle, KC Badger, Joseph Frans, Broc Raiford, Chad Kerley, Alex Magallan, and Greg Illingworth. Stuff like this can always find a home on Defgrip.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Japan with Brian Yeagle, KC Badger, Joseph Frans, Broc Raiford, Chad Kerley, Alex Magallan, and Greg Illingworth. They went over there to do demos, but afterwards Brian, KC, Joseph, and I rented a car and took off on our own with the goal of seeing as much of Japan as we possibly could. It was much more of a recreational trip than a riding trip, and we had one hell of a good time. I put together this little video with bits of footage I shot while shooting for a Ride UK article and some footage Joseph shot with his GoPro. Nothing beats exploring interesting and unfamiliar places with your friends.

Jake Seeley has quite the eclectic taste in music, which is exactly the kind of surprising shit I like to find out. To be honest, I assumed that Jake was mainly a hip hop kid for the longest time, but nope.
Click below for a breakdown of Jake’s favorite albums along with some words about each one from Jake himself. Killa!
