Chocolate Truck At Paines Park

The Chocolate Truck crew have released a new edit online through the Ride BMX website which features a handful of the squad linking up at Paines Park in Philadelphia for a late night session. Evan Yoh was on hand to capture the session and also handled the videos editing which includes riding from Joby Suender, Steve Tassone, Herman McCracken, Jon Schimpf, Joe & Ryan Niranonta along with Nick Barrett who is back in Philadelphia after spending a few months in the Southwest.

Steve Tassone | JIB: Tape #4

The seventh section from “JIB: Tape #4” featuring Steve Tassone was uploaded to the JIB Vimeo account earlier today. Steve’s section has a really good vibe to it and is primarily composed of quick one hit clips with a few lines mixed throughout. Steve has a keen eye for spots and the ability to make riding the roughest of setups look smooth. The section closes out with a secession of clips all worthy of being the ender that will surely leave you itching to pedal.
