Spokesman at XW 2013

Spokesman made their presence known at XW, they have a full Team of heavy hitters, and even Jon Reyes was there putting it down. He's still healing but he still has some clips here and there. Hope to see a Spokesman Street Edit sometime in the future, and it'd be tight if Jon was back riding when that happens. For now check this out.

XW 8? You know you wanna go.

That's right, one of the longest running competitions in the sport is going to be taking place soon, for the 8th time. XW is known for always being a good time for everyone that attends, so if you are in the area, or want to take part in a legit competition, consider heading out to XW.

ECX XW7 Team Trip 2012

ECX got the Team together for another trip, this time to the Xtreme Wheels 7 contest in NY. The contest itself didn't seem to be quite as big as the previous contests. Most likely due to the recent changing of owners of the park, and slight confusion on if the contest was even going to happen. But ECX and plenty of other riders still showed up. Check out the clips they got at XW and other various parks and spots along the way.

FSP Media XW6 Competition Edit

Ever since I saw the preview for the XW6 Comp edit from FSP Media, I've been waiting for the full edit release. It was released recently, and here it is for you guys to check out. There is some great unseen footage in here. Check out the edit below.

BK/Dibbs XW Sesh

If you know anything about these two guys' friendship, you'll know that it actually rarely includes serious riding.  But when it does, its always worth a watch.  BK still kills on the box jumps and Dibble still seems to be progressing as well.  Looked like a fun sesh for sure.

ECX Summer Tour Update (XW 6)

ShopECX is still on their summer tour, and they were recently at the Xtreme Wheels 6 Competition, where they had quite the showing. For more information check out the article below written by ShopECX owner, Mike Lashbrooke.






The ECX Summer Scooter Tour continued last week with a team trip to the XW6 Contest in Buffalo NY. The guys packed up the show trailer with tons of gear to sell and lots of Vitamin Water to keep them going and headed out last Thursday morning for the 8 hour trek to Buffalo. They were joined by 2 ECX Flow riders from Florida, Tabitha Windle and Vince Pernas. Tabitha and Vince drove 22 hours straight to get to the event!



Once we settled in to the hotel, the guys headed down to Niagara Falls to check out the night sights. If you have never seen the falls at night, you definitely should, it is pretty cool. The next morning we headed back to check out the falls in daylight and it is even more amazing than at night. Everyone rode their scooters around the falls including ECX owner Mike Lashbrook who was kicking around a new District DK-V2I complete. A few ledges were grinded for the video, but it was more of a sight seeing trip. After lunch, the team headed over to Xtreme Wheels to get in a practice session until 11pm.

The following morning everyone was up early and ready to go! OG team rider Andy Bradford drove up during the night and was there to lead the team in a warm-up stretch session on the hill that ended up drawing a bunch of riders like JD from Addict, Hunter Bechtle from ZG and the MC of the event Jake Hershey. After the stretch and a prayer led by the team minister Joey Aria, the guys (and gal) were ready to ride.



The competition ran without a hitch and many fresh lines and tricks were thrown down. ECX had 9 riders competing in the event. A few couldn't make it like team manager Ryan Upchurch who was busy finishing 2nd place over in Europe at the Razor Invitational and landing 900's on 14' vert ramps! So we missed him, but are stoked at the opportunity that he had to head over seas.



After the dust settled over the competition, the ECX team was left holding the bag(s) of prizes and trophies that is... The team riders ended up placing 1st and 2nd in Beginner and 1st, 2nd and 3rd in advanced! This just shows the level of dedication that ECX team riders have. Even after everyone headed home, the ECX crew stayed around filming until closing, then headed over to the World Famous Duff's for some victory wings! All in all, the Buffalo trip was a huge success and a great opportunity for people to see the potential of this team. On the way back to Delaware the guys insisted on stopping to film at a few parks along the way... they just never stop!



After a one week break, the ECX Summer Tour continues on July 21st with a trip to Ocean City Maryland for the 2011 Dew Tour and a Scooter Demo at Ocean Pines Skatepark on Saturday the 24th from 5-7pm. If you are in the Ocean City area, please stop out to Ocean Pines and support the crew! ECX's tour sponsor Vitamin Water will have staff on hand with free drinks and ECX will be giving out some free goodies too. Don't miss it!

ShopECX Gets Fresh

Here are a few updates for you guys regarding, ShopECX.



Team ECX has teamed up with Freshpark portable ramps! The guys at Freshpark sent the team some of their new portable ramps to try out and take on the road for the summer tour. (just in case we got bored with the local parks) A few weeks ago the guys stopped over and built all of the ramps. 2 Quarter Pipes, a Funbox, Spine, Rail, Pole Jam and Manual Pad. It only took them about an hour to put everything together including the wheels kits that allow you to roll the ramps anywhere! After putting everything together, the guys rolled the ramps up the street to a local basketball court where they proceeded to shred for almost 4 hours! Check out the 7 minute video edited by 11 year old team rider Matt Lashbrook... it's pretty Fresh(park)! For more information on Freshpark Portable Ramps, check out their website at

Freshpark.com



Next week the team will be heading up to Xtreme Wheels for the XW6 Contest minus one Ryan Upchurch who will be over in England for the NASS Festival and Razor Invitational Contest! Shopecx.com will be vending at XW so bring some extra loot to buy some new scooter stuff!

A Double Helping of Brandon Kilbury

BK did this all in about 50 minutes, so its pretty much a "Nifty 50"...such a beast. Who else can do opposite 360 heelwhips flat that dialed, cleaner than a normal 360 whip? Double heel flat as well. And of course his triples are way too dialed too, nutty stuff.

In this video, BK rides XW with Matt Dibble. They were originally going to do a Super 60 but were pretty lazy and didn't get much footage I guess. So here is basically some throwaway from them...I wish my throwaway was that good haha. Front scoot to manual is so gnar.

XW5 Flyer

Be there, this comp is a whole lotta fun, Virginia (the owner of the park) is probably one of the most supportive park owners I've ever seen.

Fifth Annual Xtreme Wheels Comp

Once again, Matt Dibble and Viriginia Clark came together to put out a welcome/teaser video for the XW scooter comp. How can you not love Virginia? The lady has just as much energy as most scooter riders do, if not more haha. If you weren't there last year, you should def plan on making it this time around...shes not joking, that free breakfast was soo prime.

I managed to film a couple things, I believe Joey Kish was filming a lot of stuff too, and Andrew Broussard had a cam that was being used to film everything, so hopefully there won't be a shortage on video.

More on the competition coming soon.

In Buffalo

Status update on my trip-I arrived in Buffalo, NY for XW4 today, after 14 hours in car. I met the Funk family, Jeremy Beau, Chandler Dunn, and Raymond Warner, as well as Rigel Fuller's mom, at a restaurant. Turns out they're at the same hotel as me, and so we rode the parking lot for a bit. Between Raymond singing constantly, Corey peeing on cars off a bridge, playing but not finishing games of scoot with Capron and Jeremy, I had a lot of fun. Gonna go early to the park tomorrow, can't wait, hope to meet a lot of people there.

To everyone coming tomorrow, have a safe trip, can't wait to meet everybody.
