Chris Marshall has been one of the premier BMX photographers on the East Coast for a number of years now. His work has been featured in both print and digital formats through some of the most respected names in the BMX industry. As of late, Marshall has been working closely with Animal Bikes, but was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to handpick and caption some photos shot in Pennsylvania over the years for this throwback gallery. You can check out the entire gallery after the jump.

It’s no secret that Knick Smith is riding for Alive Industries as well as Brendan Reith. However, Alive just released Knick’s welcome edit which was filmed following his recovery from a recent knee surgery. Knick seems like he hasn’t even lost a step despite the fact that he’s already been back on his bike for a few months now. The edit delivers all the cellar doors, pole jams, and rugged grinds the Atown Trash crew is known for. Filmed by Pat Quinn.

The 2Dodgy crew have started a Vlog with semiweekly uploads to their YouTube account. Here is the first installment in the Saugy Vlog from the 2Dodgy boys filmed during a day session at the Keck Skatepark in Allentown. The video features riding from Aeden Feher, Dylan Heckman, Zackary Llewellyn, Bryan Sout, Cotton Robbins, Scott Effting, Bryan Stout, Brion Gordon and Yungcrankflopz.
First impressions, these shoes look almost ideal. Mid profile, cup sole, not too bulky. I’m never a fan of the white bottoms but I’d rather pick up a solid pair of cup-sole shoes than some boushey shit shoes that just look good standing still. There is a little commercial with the Crockett man himself, saying once they gave him the go ahead on a signature shoe he had all the lines already picked out. Dude shreds (see link).
Once they’re on your feet you’ll feel how slim the toe is. When you’re standing on the pedals you’ll feel your pinky toe getting smashed. I had my feet actually start bleeding when I had an all-day session.
On the brighter side, I haven’t had any heal bruises with these shoes at all. The hybrid waffle / cup sole they came up with is really nice.
The only other thing I disliked about these shoes was the thinness of the upper. Maybe it was the fabric? I did a few things and felt the protection of the mid sole yet the pressure of landing against the cranks still caused some pain.
“So nice I bought ’em twice”
My original pair still have some life in ’em but I had to impulse buy when I saw the same exact pair on sale.
I strictly keep these shoes for riding as much as possible to preserve their life. The tight toe can be a little snug for some people. My sessions are rarely all-day on average. My feet can tolerate a few hours and then they’ll get sore and that’s usually when I’m trying to wind down the session.
Durability: 10/10 Heel Cushion: 9/10 Fit: 8/10 (points off for being too snug on the outside toe) Price: $60-$80
Conclusion: Great shoe that now comes in all black and a few other colors. So if you want a really good mid shoe for bmx this is really the ticket until I find something better. So nice I bought ’em twice. Got any suggestions? Let me know. Thanks for reading.

I released the final chapter of the Not For Nothing web series last Friday and it has already gotten great feedback. We hit a delay after releasing the second part of the series last December, as the north east was hit with the usual ice cold weather. We continued to film as much as we could and even took a filming trip out to Los Angeles for this one. Enjoy!
