Holy hell this weeks post could one of the most stacked ones I have ever done. Is it cause its warm? Rainy? Hot? Sticky? Icky? whatever the deal here is the steal. I will try to break it down but best way is to scroll it down and get out a fine tooth comb as there is so much Deco goodness. Think of the best shit ever...that is Deco. Click on links, watch MR. B's street ride, watch the boys at Trey's backyard. ESPN and Chad DeGroot BOB keeps dropping bombs. Happy happy Birthday to Matt Coplon and his 8 hour edit. Terry Adams was in town and not only riding flatland. Matt Closson tour guide. Thomas Noyer holding it down at Fise. Karl Poynter Q and A (get on this quick as you can ask him anything, I mean anything...and he has to answer). Have a great weekend and don't ever let it end. -Chad D

Mr Bikes N Boards Longwood BMX street ride
We did not attempt this Longwood street ride near Mr. Bikes N Boards because of the the street around here is the best in the world. We wanted a cool, chill, fun few hours with a solid crew to session, have some laughs, and ride our bikes. This was incredible with over 60 people riding and shooting photos and video and we only hit up 4 spots. This is the first of more to happen so stay tuned to www.mrbikesnboards.com Instagram @mrbikesnboards and our Facebook Mrbikesnboards Bikesnboards. Big shout out to THE VOID Josh Meadows, Subrosa street rail, Decobmx, PowerBar, Shadow...and more who helped make this happen. Be sure to tag your friends who were here, share this, and let us know what you thought in the comments. Video by: Chad DeGroot @chaddegroot @decobmx
Matt Coplon and Terry Adams at Trey Jones backyard
MATT COPLON was ready to tell a white lie so that he could ride at @treyjonesucks a little longer, hitting the new curved wall for hours both ways, boosting the quarter and carving the tight tranny. Also featured and a first I believe is Terry Adams doing a hitch hiker on the roof. Video by @chaddegroot for @matt_coplon @decobmx #decobmx @profile_racing @terryadamsbmx
Check out this ESPN article from Chad DeGroot and crew on the Bikes Over Baghdad trip. Chad is dirty and dusty but still pushing on behind the lens as Keith Mulligan captures the trip. http://espn.go.com/espn/photos/gallery/_/id/12944904/image/15/spot-mission-gallery-bmx-pros-visit-middle-east-bikes-baghdad-tour

Matt Coplon. May 25th. 8 Hours in Tampa.
On the cusp of my 38th birthday, I asked Mark Mulville to help film a full day's session in Tampa.
Each week, on Sunday, I wake up at 7am, am out the door by 9am, and am usually riding no later than half past.
It's become a ritual.
On turning 38, as it was the same when I was 13, bmx remains therapeutic. Most of the time, in its simplest form: pedaling through the streets away from the grind of the day to day.
To celebrate those coveted hours pedaling through Tampa, I thought it'd be a challenge to make it a full 8 hour session (in 85% humidity and at 95 degrees, you have to take what you get this time of year) and document everything worth grabbing.
What's left are the clips I was most stoked on. Nothing ground breaking...just a representation of what I look forward to come every Sunday.
Enjoy.
Thanks to Mark Mulville for his help with this project. Thanks to Profile Racing, Chad Degroot and Deco Bmx, Etnies, Adi and Folklore Brand, and the Skatepark of Tampa for their continued support.
To another year of pedaling in Tampa Bay.
Thank you for watching.
-Matt Coplon
