Canada’s Lee Dennis is one of the toughest and nicest guys in BMX. He posses amazing bike control and does it all with an effortless and casual approach. Having a relaxed style is a great attribute. This video is of his trip down to Austin in January. He ended up taking a very tough crash which he wanted in the video. He’s doing really well and should be back tearing it up really soon. Filmed and edited by Tom Arkus.
While filming in Austin for the past week, Lee Dennis took it really hard today on a ledge gap gone wrong. It was almost the worst possible crash that could happen at this spot. He ended up dislocating his shoulder, but luckily there was no more damage then that. Wish him a speedy recovery! Incidentally FU3 premiers this Friday!
Lee Dennis is making a brief escape from the Niagara Falls, Canada winter this week by coming down to Austin to hang out at the new office. While he was out working on an Austin web video, we took the time to shoot some bike check photos. He’s currently riding a 20.75″ Third Wave prototype which has the Wave top tube to help increase the front end strength. If you remember Lee’s past web video then expect some good things from this one. Lee is also waiting on the release of FU3 which is set to come out in the next month! I’ve been lucky to see it and you won’t be disappointed!
Last week, I was out putting the Wave downtube to the test and came up with this mini crankslide video shot at the Brampton, Ontario skatepark. There’s a few other random tricks in there including Lee Dennis‘ guest clip. Andy Maholsic filmed and edited this one. Enjoy!
The Forumph Bar is our tallest bar and is used by team riders Jim Cielencki, Jake Seeley and Lee Dennis. Here is a little edit of us putting the Forumph bar to the test. I swear everyone around here has been converted to the 4 degrees of upsweep. Check out the dimensions after the break.
Sunday has some good stuff in Dig issue 71. You can see Lee Dennis featured in the New Day Rising article. Check out this link to see some clips from Lee’s interview. There’s a good photo of Alex Magallan in the Leland Thurman article. Chris Hilbrich and I are featured in the Sunday ad. He’s showcasing Sunday’s trail frame the Model D while I have a few little photos of myself riding the Model C. This issue is a great read especially the Leland article!
Sunday team rider Lee Dennis’ shop Life Cycle turned 1 year old over the weekend. Time flies, it came about so quick, it seemed like it hasn’t been that long. Just want to say congratulations and I hope the hangover from the present wasn’t too harsh! I’m sure there will be plenty more good stories from year 2!
