Action Wheels Bike Shop
Our good friend Scott Effting, who is an admin for us and also heads 2Dodgy, recently took over ownership of Action Wheels Bike Shop in Bethlehem. With Scott at the helm, the shop has already rolled out a new website and is holding a big “Spring Fever” sale April 24th through the 29th in addition to hosting the third annual “Hosed Jam” at the Bethlehem Skateplaza on May 21st. You can expect a lot of big things out of Scott and Action Wheels in the future and we want to wish him and the shop continued success. Don’t forget to check out the “Spring Fever” and “Hosed Jam” flyers for more details, after the jump.
Read More “Action Wheels Bike Shop”Afternoon With Chopper
East Coast Destruction released a new edit featuring Chopper last week through their website. Although this one has already made the rounds online it couldn’t be overlooked for our archives and is easily worth a second watch for anyone who’s already seen it. Chopper and Nilo Hodge filmed the edit during a two hour session at the Bethlehem Skateplaza. You can read some words from Nilo about the filming process below.
“I met up with Richard “Chopper” Viands at the Bethlehem Skateplaza to shoot a thirty minute edit. Thirty minutes turned to an hour, an hour turned to two hours. After two hours I decided to name this edit Afternoon With Chopper. He has an awesome style, super technical but can throw down huge stuff whenever.” – Nilo Hodge
