Kona Groms Slay

Posted on 01/28/2010 by mitchell

In my research for a new Kona online exclusive magazine article, titled “Salad Days”, whereby I (Mitch) take an inside look into the kids of Kona, we came across this shot of Adison Macdonald, a 12-year-old ripper from Whistler, BC. Attaboy Adison, that’s making the sponsors real proud. Look for Salad Days to come out in the next month or so.

Nelson BC Loves Kona

Posted on 10/02/2009 by mitchell

The-switchI live in this cool little town called Nelson, British Columbia. It’s a bubble of sorts, far away from the city, full of happy shiny people. One things for certain though, Nelson (or Planet Neldoron as I like to call it) is Kona all the way. They’re all over the place, as you’ll see in this here little video of the Kootenay Fat Tire Festival’s under 5 downtown crit, sponsored by Gericks Cycle. Seems one little gaffer saw me filming and just had to steal the mini-shredders thunder with a showcase of his shiny new Shred 2-4. Got a love a proud kid.

But for me, the Dr. Dew holds a special place.

Joe Schwartz Goes Back to Camp

Posted on 07/27/2009 by admin

joe_distWhen summer camp is mentioned in conversation, most people tend to wax poetically about their long-past experiences. Stories of marshmallow roasts and campfire sing-a-longs abound. When they dig deep into the memory vaults, repressed recollections of bugs, weird counselors and food poisoning also surface. I have mixed emotions when I think of my camp experiences. My less than social young personality (ie: shy, introverted) may have had something to do with it, but more than that it was the fact I could be at home playing on my bike, instead of eating tainted camp food or playing war games in the woods.
