First and foremost lets all make sure to wish this moto whippin, bike wigglin Texas wrangler a happy 24th birthday today as we welcome him to the Tree Tribe! The way I see it, Dylan is the perfect fit for Tree. He spends all of his free time pumping at the deep ends all around Houston and more and he makes it look good. But it doesn't hurt that he looks like a member of rocket power all grown up.

One of our favourite guys out there, Wethepeople rider Joeri Veul filmed this video shortly before he suffered a brain haemorrhage last year. Joeri is taking some time away from riding whilst he recovers but managed to put together this video with a few clips of his homies in The Netherlands to finish it off. Much love and respect to Joeri for pushing through the tough times and staying motivated. We cant wait to see you back on a bike soon Joeri!
Chris Courtenay sure was at the forefront of creative park riding back in 2011, so much so that this section could have been filmed this year and still be progressive.
