It has been a while that’s for sure! Years actually. My brother said that he was going out so morning with his friends, and I thought it sounded fun and it was supposed to snow so I told him if it snows I will be there! I just started making brand-new next warmers as well for Ride MN, so I need to do a little product testing as well! thank you for the fun session boys, definitely brought back memories!

Let’s get ready to rumble!! LOL I used to be selling to an actual event and my brother, our neighbor, and myself all went to WWE wrestling at the target Center in Minneapolis and it was so much fun. It was my first outing after surgery on my broken leg! LOL thank you guys for a fun time this was hilarious, So much fun!

This is definitely the most incredible Valentine’s Day I’ve ever had. Tricia and I are here in Sydney and we have tickets to an opera at the opera house. It is indeed as incredible as it seems. It is almost hard to even explain it being here. It is very peaceful. Just the area around here, where we are staying, walking here from the hotel, being right on the water, the skyline, the surrounding cities and towns in the bay, is just insane. Happy Valentine’s Day from Sydney Australia!

This was definitely a sick place to spend New Year’s, Especially with the crew we had an RV for the whole trip! We stayed in a cabin for a few nights and spent new Year’s Eve downtown Truckee. Such a cool area in general, Very good vibes. Would love to go back there sometime soon, living here would be sick too.

Sitting here on the plane back to LA thinking about this past week…
Average of 4 hours of sleep every night, horrible jet lag, negative degree weather, angry Russians, incredibly small hotel rooms, no phone service, bar close after the sun rises, & no comment about the women. All surrounded by top BMX riders representing 30 different countries.
Live webcast broadcasted to more than 2 million people worldwide, photo & video coverage on Ride TCU & Vital.
Worth every penny it costed me, already saving for my next trip. Even moving back home to save. Travel when you can. See the world. Even if you don’t know where exactly it is, never even heard of Helsinki until we landed there.
Thank you Aj Anaya, Risto Kalmre, & all the friendly people overseas (especially AJ’s lil cutie Maria). And thank you BMX for giving me some of the greatest friends around the world. Never thought I’d ever be in Europe twice in a year.
One of the best trips of my life. Simple Session. Tallinn, Estonia.

Thanks for the Video T !!
“Dustin is back in Minnesota for the week! We made a video showing you guys his front cover photo on the March issue of BMX Plus, as well as the Ben’s Backyard article in the Latest April issue! Dustin also talked about his Youtube Channel and the kind of video’s he’s been uploading lately (such as riding from Ben’s Backyard and WoodWard West). After that, Dustin shredded the factory showing eveyone how to do some propper combo tricks! Dustin’s Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/dustingrice” -Tristan
