Our BMX has a new interview with Dan Conway on their website following the release of Dan’s latest video part for GT, Sick Mutha F_cker. The interview was conducted by Jeff Z. and also includes photography by Jeff, as well as Brendan Mulrooney, Matt Loughead, and Greg Moliterno. While the main focus of the interview is on Dan’s latest video part for GT, it also dives into Dan’s recent addition to the Profile team, upcoming video projects, moving into a new place, and more.

Jeff Purdy – Daily Grind BMX

Daily Grind has just released a new edit featuring their latest team addition, Jeff Purdy. The video is composed of footage Jeff wasn’t using for any long-term projects although he has been heavily involved in shooting for the DG’s upcoming third DVD release, ‘Rerouting’. Jeff might not be a resident of Pennsylvania, but his routine visits and affiliation with many of the crews in the state have kept our eyes on him for years. Make sure you keep yours peeled for more from Jeff in DNS2 and Rerouting, coming soon.

Bonus: Check out a photo from the edit shot by Brendan Mulrooney, after the jump.

Our ‘Featured Photo’ this week is a double dose of Jeff Purdy getting rad at the O’Hara Trails in Delaware County, PA.

Both photos were shot by Brendan Mulrooney during a session at the trails last week.

If you haven’t been paying attention, Jeff was recently picked up by both GT Bikes and The Daily Grind and is currently heavily involved in filming for Stink Pit 5 and the L.O.W. BMX video.

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.
