I wasn't sure what Cardona was doing since leaving S&M. And I'm not sure if he's on CULT or just repping a brand he likes. I hope he's doing what all BMX riders need to remind themselves what to do, enjoy riding and ignore sponsors if you're not satisfied with them. From the looks of this video, he's at least got the enjoyment part right.

The majority of the time when looking for things to post I am in actuality just sitting on my hands and waiting for Empire to fill the VOID IN MY SOUL and make another bowl jam video. Today, my friends, the void is full... Full of stylish airs, lofty 360s, classic x-ups, and some tire sliders for good measure.

Meh. I am kinda bummed I missed this one. Usually I don't care for BMX events because they suck, but this looked fun. Regardless, I had fun in Orange County that day getting glassy waves. Good with the bad...



Looks like the whole SoCal scene sort of turned up for this one. Pretty impressive for what I thought was kind of a last minute idea. Obstacles looked fun. Again, wish I could have been...

Nuno Oliveira, Odyssey BMX and Defgrip head, was there to shoot some photos. Check out his sweet photo gallery HERE.



Also getting photos, S&M themselves. Check out their flickr gallery HERE.



And if you're not a photograph guy, Larry Alvarado has got you covered...

Lights in the Woods just came through with this rambling day-in-the-life-type edit with Tony Cardona. It's pretty raw, like he's not mic'd up or anything, so you get a good grasp of the blistering pace of life in Austin.

S&M just released Tony's signature frame, which is pretty dialed. In fact, the guy Tony is sharing the above photo with (Tony's on the right) is Cameron Wood, his S&M teammate, who also happens to have a brand-new signature frame. Check 'em out if you're looking for a new ride. Photo poached from Empire.
