Not quite sure how this works even after reading about it: Solids (metal) lighter than air

The Wood Shop

You might know Cam Wood from his 50/50 BMX days and his stellar segment in That's It! (and watched him gimping around at the premier):

As I reported, the Utah BMX Cobras have a new vid coming out, but that's not all Cam has been up to. Ladies and gentleman of SLC (actually SSLC) we finally have a BMX specialty store, Cam's The Wood Shop, located at 2212 S. West Temple, just up the street from the SLC Bike Collective:

The shop features a nice selection of completes, just in time for the holidays:

Plenty of frames, forks and tires:

A few choice softgoods:

 One thing that really stands out are the displays, hand built and burned by Cam, himself (click that pic):

Parts and accessories:

Wall of fame:

Head on over to The Wood Shop to support this great rider and our awesome local scene.  See you at the Tower Theater. 

A Utah Killjoy

50/50 BMX riders have consistently raised the bar in terms of creativity for a number of years.  Their new vid features more of the improbable.  If you happen to be in the SLC area Nov. 28th, be sure to drop in to the premier at the Tower theater, 7pm:

A subtle badass

Or rejoice, someone gets it.
