Our ‘Featured Photo’ updates have been few and far between lately but we couldn’t pass up on this one. Brendan Mulrooney shot the above photo of Eric Capone taking a moment to cool off from the summertime heat in true Philadelphia fashion, by hopping through an illegally opened fire hydrant during the Berks X Alive Industries jam last month. The spurting water in for foreground as well as the rainbow colored curbs, poles, flags and brightly colored houses in the background provided by the ‘Gayborhood’ section of Philadelphia really make the photo come alive.

Knick Smith – Welcome To Alive Industries

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.
