Oshkosh Bike Park Meeting
Posted by Brian at 6:23PM
There is going to be a meeting regarding the Oshkosh Bike Park this week Wednesday (May 13th) at STREETS OF FIRE on main street in Oshkosh. The meeting is going to start at 7pm so please be there on time if not a little early. We are going to talk about the temporary ramp set-up for the summer and how we can raise enough money to build some ramps for the summer. We need input on the design of the park and many other important things. If you are a bike rider in the Fox Valley you better be there!!!
Also, whoever is riding their bikes in the Oshkosh skatepark needs to stop NOW!!! You are a serious moron if you are even thinking of riding there. You are pissing off city officials and the skaters that are helping us get this park. Why do you think our meetings are at a skate shop? THEY CARE!!! So quit riding the park they worked hard to get built, its proof that we can get the bike park done if we all try.

Committed for life
Posted by Brian at 12:13PM
Robert likes to send out random texts at 3 in the morning. Sweet. Anyways, a big crew of us went to Fremont to ride some ramps in a barn. Rob has a bunch of photos from it but he is to busy drawing dicks in MS Paint to post them. But Evan Weitz pulled through and sent me some photos that he took recently. Check those out HERE. Other than that, nothing much new. Got some good footage going for the DEA vid. That should be out late summer / early fall. New shirts coming soon too!!!

Posted by Brian at 6:41PM
Man... it sure has been a while since I updated this thing. I've been having
so many computer problems lately. Thankfully Rob was able to keep the updates
going while my computer was down. And now with two idiots updating this site
you should get twice the worthless DEA news!
Anyways... Brian Wilson's
ramps have been getting sessioned heavily lately. If you don't know the history
of the ramps let me just say that A LOT of work and money went into getting
these ramps to where they are now. A lot of new faces have been showing up at
the ramps and thats awesome. But please help out in any way you can to keep
these ramps here, bring some wood with you, some tools, money that we can put
towards wood/screws/lights/etc..., at least throw your trash in one of the cans.
With that said, HERE are some new photos that I shot on B-Wilsons camera the other night.

Return of the warmth
Posted by Rob at 12:16PM Awesome weekend for riding
the weather was gorgeous. Alot went down this weekend, Brian and I went to Midway
on Friday, did some filming for the DEA video awesome stuff. Here is some photos from that.
On Saturday a crew went down to Midway. Then Sunday Brian, KP, Johnny Hoffman,
Bronco Ben and myself made are way down to German Town to ride Brian Wilsons
back yard ramps. Great time everybody was killing, took a shit ton of photos
which are here,
did some filiming, got 44oz slushies from Speedway, rocked out in Johnny's jeep,
ate at Burger King were some guy was wearing the exact same pants and sweat
shirt that I was wearing pretty strange, rode some street, saw some douche bag
in a Jetta, drew some penises and gave Bronco Ben a Dutch Rudder. Over all awesome
time, thanks Brian for letting us come and ride your ramps. Also here is some photos that Brian W sent over of sesh at Four Seasons and German Town Skatepark.

Can you say Midway.
Posted by Rob at 1:09AM
We had a awesome sesh at Midway today. Good times, a lot of people turned up, awesome to see everybody riding.
Ryan got his car pooped on... Other than that everybody rode super good tonight, Thanks again Dan for giving us such a great place to ride.
Well here are some Photos from the sesh tonight. Oh and the quote of the night "I'm just trying to mount you."

Warm Weather Again...
Posted by Rob at 6:38PM Hello, Brian's computer took a dump again, so I (Rob) will be updating the site till things are back up and running again.
In other news the weather is looking promising, at least for a few days. So this would be a good time to swing over to Midway and ride.
If your looking to order some parts Albes is having a wonderful deal right now. Free shipping to all orders over 30$ just for knowing Mark Hilson these are his exact words below
Not me....I'm officially out of the game, but Albes said they will hook you up with FREE SHIPPING on any order over $30 if you mention me when you order. There is a place when ordering online for comments or something, just put: Hilson said I get free shipping cause I spent over $30! If you decide to kick it old school and call them to order....well you should be able to figure that one out. The 50th person to order and mention me will get their picture up on the Albes site!! Plus they will photoshop Daniel Dehrs and some hot chicks into the picture with you so you can look cool for your friends......or get some friends, either way, YOU WIN! * If you live by or ever ride at Midway and you order something Dan had sitting at the park, you're a dick. Albes rides and they would think so too.
Most importantly, to everyone who ever rode and got stuff at the park, thank you for helping it last the whole 5 years, couldn't have done it with out you.
Mark
And last but not least... Here is a bike check i did, and Here is another bike check of Ryan's new ride looks pretty rad.
One last thing some random Photos from Kp's and Rp's garage
February 26th, 2009 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bad dream Posted by Brian at 11:26PM
This weather sucks....
Here are some photos from Brian Wilson.
February 19th, 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filler Posted by Brian at 3:53PM
Well as it turns out that spurt of good weather was just a cruel joke. We are
back to below freezing and snow. Sweet. Not much going on lately. I've been
so insanely busy with school. I'm also playing guitar in a punk/hardcore band
now. As soon as we get some cool stuff i'll post it up. I really want to stress
how lucky we are to have a place like Midway at our disposal to ride. Thanks
so much to Dan and everyone that keeps that place going. I love it. I shot some
photos there last weekend and figured i'd post them up! HERE they are, not the highest quality because my slave flashes are on the fritz.
Low budget knows no bounds. Go get rad.
February 13th, 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FRIDAY THE 13th! Posted by Brian at 4:12PM
Just a quick update before I go ride Midway. Brian Wilson sent over even more
photos from another session at his ramps. So here they are! Have a good Friday

Kevin -- Invert - 1 - 2 - 3
B-Will -- Vader 1 - 2

February 8th, 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spring session? Posted by Brian at 10:14PM
Is winter over? This warm weather seems too good to be true. Brian Wilson's
ramps are snow free and he sent over some photos from a session that went down today.
February 6th, 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Youth gone wild Posted by Brian at 11:50AM
Ryan McVickar sent me the video above. Its basically all the footage that him,
KP, and Mr. Clean have shot over the past year or so. Some cool stuff in here
and KP's riding never dissapoints. Can't say i'm a huge Queen fan though....
Anyways, check it out and let Ryan know what you think. Also... STREETS
OF FIRE is having a video premiere of Alien Workshop's new vid TONIGHT.
So if you don't have anyting going on tonight go stop by streets at 7pm. In
DEA crew news... Johnny is a madman.
January 31st, 2009
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEA site is Back! Posted by Brian at 5:19PM Holy cow! It has been forever.... Sorry for the lack
of news. But my computer has been having huge issues the past few weeks. But
thats all cleared up now. Plus, not that much is really going on. It is frigid
outside and not many places to ride other than Midway and 4 seaons. Thankfully
we had those places! Anyways.... We are completely sold out of all dead end
shirts so hold tight for some new stuff that will be out soon. Dusty is apparently
doing vocals for some death metal band in Appleton now. Pretty rad. RP and KP
have some new ramps in their garage and here are some photos from a recent session there. Also some photos from Brian Wilson in there. Thats
about it for news. If you got anything you want posted just shoot me an email.
January 4th, 2009 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cabin fever Posted by Brian at 7:23PM Welcome to 2009! This
is going to be a great year for the DEA crew! I finally got around to posting Ryan and Kyle's
profile pages. Go check those out and see what those guys are up to. We have
some limited edition shirts that were just printed. Go to our Myspace to see them and either email us or send a myspace message. Only a couple of
them left. More updates later...
December 18th, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ....winter Posted by Brian at 3:43PM As it turns out I can update the site from my parents
place so here we go! Wisconsin is totally covered in snow and they are saying
we are getting another foot tonight. Just what I want! Anyways... Some good
filming and photo sessions going on lately. Hopefully many more to come. Ran
into Micah at 4 seasons the other night. He has a pretty awesome blog you can
check out here. Robert sent me a bikecheck and he also sent me some questions to asnwer as a mini interview, if you will.
I also posted a few photos I took from a recent session at Midway. More updates to come...
December 12th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm out! Posted by Brian at 1:35PM
If you want to waste 35
minutes of your time watch this video I posted. This was the first full length
bmx video I made. Originally released on VHS only around 2003, err my Sophomore
year of high school! haha. Its pretty funny. Anyways.... I'm packing up and
leaving town for a few weeks to spend the holiday season with my family. Not
sure if i'll be able to update from my parents computer but nag Rob to update the site. Also check out Midways blog. They have a poll asking what they should build next, vote for anything
but a foam pit. I guess thats all for now. Stay warm and have a great holiday!
December 8th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bike Park News!!!! Posted by Brian at 9:12PM
HUGE NEWS for the Oshkosh Community Bike Park. The proposal for the bike park
has been approved by the city and fundraising for the park is to start now!
Get over to their myspace
page and check out the newest blog to get involved. I have some cool photos
that KP sent me as well as some random ones I had. Click HERE for those. More updates soon!
November 25th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Give thanks Posted by Brian at 7:39PM
I don't think this video ever got posted online... So here it is, older comp
from UC (RIP). No real news to update with today. We got snow a few days ago
and that has made commuting to school on my bike a total hassle. I hate winter. Here are
some photos that Brian Wilson sent over my way. I'm about to head to the parents
place for a few days so no posts till next week...
November 19th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No regrets Posted by Brian at 6:13PM
As promised, here is another old video that i've uploaded. This was intended
to be a trailer for the DEA video. Funny thing is, some of the people in this
trailer arn't even involved in DEA anymore, or even ride at all! Had a nice
session at Midway this past weekend. Be sure to go there and support what Dan is doing. We are
lucky to have a park as close as Midway is. Send me some cool stuff at.... info
[at] deadendarmy.com. Roast it
November 13th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fullpipe shred fest! Posted by Brian at 10:22PM
Well its that time of year again. Temperatures are dropping and so is my motivation
to do anything other than sleep late and eat microwaveable food. Wisconsin winters
suck, and this one is going to suck even more now that Undercover is closed...
but what can you do? Not a ton of riding going on lately but I do have a whole new page of photos for you to check out. We are making a lot of progress with the Oshkosh
BMX Park and next month we find out if it we will be able to use the old
hockey rink at Rainbow Park. Exciting!!! Also, Go stop by STREETS
OF FIRE skate shop and thank Baker for making the bike park project a reality.
Also, PLESE STOP buying your shoes and clothes from Dans Comp. Dans Comp does
NOTHING for the BMX scene in Oshkosh, Baker has worked his ass off for years
supporting the scene around here and the least you can do is go buy some shoes
or a shirt. Thats my rant and thats about it for now, go ride... if the weather
allows you to!
November 4th, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shred footage! Posted by Brian at 10:13PM

Holy news update! This past weekend was soooo sick. Thanks to Dan for putting
on an awesome contest. Midway is the best! More news!! Kyle and Ryan Prellwitz are both now a part of the
DEA crew! I'm stoked on this, I've been meaning to get these two in on DEA for
a while but shit always gets put off... Anyways they are both awesome guys and
i'm glad they are a part of DEA. In other news..... There is an important meeting
TONIGHT at Streets of Fire about the Oshkosh
Bike Park. Be there at 8, don't be late! I also have DEA shirts on sale

September 29th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My brain hurts Posted by Brian at 9:19PM
Thats right! Another comp coming up at Midway.... this weekend! Be there. I'll
be there for sure. Sorry for the lack of updates. For one, I have been super
busy lately. And two, I knocked myself out last Friday filming for the DEA vid
so i've been laying low. What else? hmmm There is NO meeting this week for the
Oshkosh Bike Park. Keep your eyes peeled on our sweet new myspace
page for news updates and please add us as a friend! I also posted up Johnny, Mike, and Rob's
team pages.... finally! In other news.... Dusty got his banger on film for the

September 15th, 2008

Long time no update! First of all... if you are in favor of getting a BMX ONLY
park in the town of Oshkosh meet at STREET OF FIRE skateshop this Wednesday
the 17th at 8pm sharp. A lot of people are trying to help get this project going
and the more bikers involved the better the park will be. I'm stoked to say
that Dan Strean, owner of Midway Skatepark, is now part of the DEA!!! Awesome.
You can also get DEA merch at Midway and there is going to be a comp on October
4th. Online store is temporary down because I need to go over our inventory!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Up the dose! Posted by Brian at 6:44PM
Whats up? Lots of stuff to post today... First of all, as promised, I have some
more DEA crew news. Johnny Hoffmann and Mike Krueger are now a part of DEA!
Check back soon for team pages for these dudes. Who knows, maybe some more team
additions in the future? We are growing into the sickest crew of riders and
I couldn't be more stoked right now! HUGE SHOUT OUT to my man John Szyjewski
who recently got married!!!! I love you man! Anyways.... we went out to Madison
the other weekend to do some filming done for the DVD and got some real great
clips. I decided to try a rail with a weird run up and ended up stage diving
to the pavement which resulted in some busted ribs and lots of blood.
Ryan P was shredding and did a nice crook
down a rail and a t-bog.
Good stuff. I havn't even touched my bike since Saturday so I decided to paint
my garbage can and
make some D.E.A. banners
for skateparks or whatnot. If you would like one, get a hold of me. Oh, I also
have a new bikecheck.
I also promised Mr. Clean i'd post up a link to his companies myspace. Check
that out
HERE. And while you are on the space add the DEA
myspace. Later!
August 21st, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning, Rob Posted by Brian at 11:05PM
I'm stoked to say that Rob Warning is now a part of the DEA. He is not only
going to be a part of the crew but also help run the DEA site, myspace, and
basically everything that goes on with Dead End. Stoked! There are going to
be a lot of changes going on with the DEA crew in the next few weeks. So keep
checking back for those updates.... In other news... Brian Wilson has a new
bikecheck up on his page. Or just click HERE.
Sweet. Road trip this weekend to get some more filming done for the vid. Should
be good.
August 17th, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What was old is new Posted by Brian at 10:42PM
Update! First of all.... Alex Jannke has a bike check posted up HERE.
His bike recently got stolen, this is the one he just built up. Been doing a
bit of filming lately, trying to ride a lot of new stuff so we have been going
down to Milwaukee a couple times a week. While riding the lake front, I managed
to almost take out a roller skating mother and hit my head on a tree branch,
all in the same run! Robert never sent me that thing about the Warrens trip!!
Get on that man! What else.... Kevin spent a night in jail for stage diving
at a Darkest Hour show... hahaha. Awesome. Anyways... HERE
is a page full of some photos of recent sessions and whatnot.
August 11th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROAST IT!!! Posted by Brian at 9:01PM I don't even know where to start on this one.. all I
can say is this past weekend was WILD! First off, there is a comp coming up
at Warrens skatepark. We are sorta sponsoring it by getting them some shirts
and shit. So go support that place, its awesome. This past weekend a group of
about 15 of us went up to go shred Warren's and it was out of control. That
place is so fun. Robert was planning on writing a journal thing about the weekend,
hopefully he still will but here are some of the highlights.
- Ryan and Johnny's ugly tank tops
- Peeing on Steve's truck
- Gay dude air fresheners
- Robert interviewing a Gorilla
- Party at the sketchiest house ever
- Even sketchier girls
- Punching holes in their drywall
- Sleeping in the trunk of my car
Didn't take many photos on the trip, but here
they are!
Roast it!
August 3rd, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever feel like killing your boss? Posted by Brian at 5:02PM
Well, things have been crazy to say the least. As Rob
said, i was without the internet for a while so that ment no updates. Well i'm
back now so you can all relax! haha. right. Lots of good riding and filming
going on lately. Hope to have filming for the DEA dvd done within the next few
months.... more realisticly the next year. I don't have any photos to throw
up here right now, but expect some within the next few days/weeks. Robert filled
in some blanks on his team page so check that out. He has some crazy ideas for
a more in-depth interview so stay tuned for that.... Until next time!
July 5th, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally a new update. Posted by Rob at 11:45PM
Hey dudes! Thanks for checking back
on the DEA site! Its been a while since the last update (thanks Brian!). But
he is without the internet so I (Rob Warning) will be helping update the site
and run some stuff around here from now on. So, lets get down to the news! Team
rider Dusty is now training to be a cage fighter, should be fun to watch. Lots
of riding and filming going on around town, and Scuba Steve just got back from
Oklahoma! Oh, check out that sweet photo of Josh's moped decked out with the
wisconsin and cross bones sticker! Also, HERE
are some photos of some recent riding thats been going down and such. Thats
all for now, keep checking back for more news, photos, and some vids we are
working on.
May 29th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another update? Posted by Brian at 2:43PM
One day in Oshkosh
My 16mm film project
Check out the two new videos posted above. The first
one was filmed and edited yesterday and the second one was my final project
in my film class. More info on the bike(s) that got jacked from Stevens Point...
"The bike is a subrosa, originally white, spraypainted black
-white director forks
-black fly cranks
-gsport plegs
-black elementary stem
-red civilian bars with red animal grips
-odyssey plastic pedals
-ano red 26T animal sprockey balboa sprocket
-white demo rear hub laced to chrome hazzard light
-ano red animal pivotal post
-kink SL pivotal seat
think that is enough of the fairly unique parts to spot it."
They are pretty sure the dudes name is Dave Vang. So if you have any info let
me know and i'll pass it along to Evan.
May 27th, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hwy 13 road trip Posted by Brian at 9:52PM
First off, check out the MISC page for
a DEA stencil you can download and put to use as well as a bunch of new banners

page. Even Weitz sent me a ton of great photos from a recent mini road trip
that went down over this past weekend. Check those out HERE.
He also said that there has been a lot of bike stealing going on in the Stevens
Point area. They are pretty sure they know who it is but need help finding the
guy. More info on that soon...
May 24th, 2008

Here is another real old video I uploaded. These "trails" were located
in Richfield. Loads of fun and good times went down here. The vid is of a train
gone wrong when Chris goes over the bars and takes out Jeff. Also I was excited
to see some photos in my mailbox from David. I also have some new photos of
Chris and Brian Wilson and some old ones I dug up of Micah Kranz. Enjoy!
April 28th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ollllldddd Posted by Brian at 2:10 PM
I was digging through my computer and found this old vid that my good friend
Mark made a long time ago. These are the ramps I used to have at my house. This
was one of the first times I hung out with David Connelly and Mark Adamczak,
this video probably dates back to 4-5 years ago, or more! Still a fun video
to watch none the less. I will probably upload more old vids soon.
April 18th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RIP Undercover Posted by Brian at 12:37AM
Go pick up the latest issue of PROPS. The video I filmed and edited of the Undercover

are a ton of photos from the last few days at UC.
April 14th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bicycles are neat Posted by Brian at 8:21PM I'm sure you've heard. Undercover is going out of business
for good. Las day to ride is tomorrow I believe. Sucks so bad. Just want to
say thanks to Mark for giving us a place to ride as long as he did. Thanks Mark!!!
Not much news otherwise. Filming a lot for the D.E.A. DVD lately. Should be
good. Here are some photos from recent sessions and whatnot....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The longest winter ever Posted by Brian at 9:28PM Sorry for the lack of updates... I've been away from
my computer on spring break! Not much of a "spring" though. This cold
weather has got to stop soon! This has got to be the worst winter ever. I found
some older photos of Chris Goetz and Kevin Sullivan from last summer. Also I
have some photos of Kevin's brother Chris throwing down a kinked rail. Thats
all for now!

Dusy has a bike check
posted on his profie page. We just got a ton of new stickers in. I'll post pics

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filler Posted by Brian at1:55 PM
I've been slacking. Yeah yeah. This past weekend was the first time it has been
over 20 degrees in months! Basically riding has been limited to Undercover.
We are lucky to have such an awesome park to keep us sane during the winter.
Thanks Mark! In other new.... I have a radio show on 90.3 FM. Mondays 9-11.
Its basically all punk rock and older hardcore music. If you are into that stuff,
tune in. Its also streaming online HERE.
I am excited to say that Robert King is now a part of the DEA. If you have ever
been to Undercover you have probably seen Robert ride, and you know how dialed
he is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back to reality Posted by Brian at11:20 PM
Above is the entire Welcome To Oshkosh DVD. I decided to upload it since i've
sold nearly all the copies I made. Hope you enjoy it, Here
is a link to the video if you don't want to watch the small version. Let me
know what you guys think of it, and if anyone who is in the video wants just
their section upload seperately, just send me an email or whatever. Got back
from my trip to Ohio today. Amazing time. I took a bunch of photos and wrote
about the trip a little bit. Click
HERE to see that stuff. Thats all for now. Later!
Janary 27th, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leaving the frozen tundra! Posted by Brian at 6:16 PM
Dusty has a pretty sweet interview over on
BMX Union. Check that out. I'm heading out on a short little roadtrip of
sorts with Mark Hilson, Sean Tomason, Alex Steel, and maybe Cody Wells? Anyways,
we are going to go shred it up indoors at Rays MTB park. Apparently it is a
S&M/Fit dealer appreciation private session/party. Rad. I plan on taking
a bunch of photos, so check back in a couple days for that! Later!
Janary 21st, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Endless bummer Posted by Brian at 6:16 PM So as I type this, it is about 2 degrees out, snowing
like crazy, and I am sick as hell. Winter is the worst. I'm going to be uploading
the entire Welcome To Oshkosh DVD to google video sometime this week or next.
I'll probably be putting individual parts on youtube also. Here
is a whole new page full of photos from this winter. Some riding, some not.
Enjoy!
Janary 8th, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A brief history of the D.E.A. Posted by Brian at 10:50 PM
Welcome to 2008! January is a special month for the Dead End Army. It is in
this month that Dead End became more than just a name. So I decided... why not
give a little history of DEA for those who aren't "in the know" haha.
Dead End started sometime around the summer of 2003. I had just gotten a video
camera and David Szymanski and I decided we wanted to start a bmx video magazine
(similar to PROPS). We settled on the name "Dead End" for no reason
in particular, we just thought it sounded rad. We never did get to produce a
video, but I do have about 15 minutes of footage that was going to be in the
first issue, including a Richard Mungel interview. Ha! Man we were so lame.
Then in 2004 I made my first "full length"
BMX vid of me and all my high school buddies. It was called "Riders Behind
Bars" and is about 80% feeble grinds. Laughable at best. I tagged it as
a Dead End Production with the image you see above and that was that. I was
thinking about uploading the video to Youtube but figured most people would
just tear it apart. Maybe I still will if anyone wants to see it in its entirety.
January of 2006 is when Dead End became what it is today.
Me and David S were going to register deadend.com only to find that almost every
variation of it was already taken. We tossed around many alternative names and
additions to Dead End. We finally settled on Army. Figuring it was pretty fitting,
an army of guys going nowhere with their lives, just riding bikes and having
a blast. So no, it’s not a cheap shot at the US Army as some believe.
David Szymanski stepped off to work on a new photography project so David Connelly
filled in and has been rockin ever since.
So that’s basically all you need to know to understand
the D.E.A. Our intention was to host a site and keep it full of photos and videos
of all the good times we have. Somewhere along the way we decided we should
print some shirts to help cover the cost of the site. And that’s about
it. D.E.A. has become bigger than I ever thought it would. Thanks to everyone
that has supported us throughout the years. We have a lot planned for 2008,
let’s make it awesome.
December 23th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy Holidays Posted by Brian at 11:21 PM
It's that time of the year again already. Hope everyone has a nice holiday season
and a good new years also! Winter is killing me, I can only take so much more
indoor skatepark! Everyone keeps bugging me to update with some news.... and
I can't think of anything really important that has been going on, so here is
some random news! Chris got finally got his heater to work in his car, he can
even defrost the windows now! Good stuff. Alex is currently growing a Hulk Hogan
mustache..... yeah.... I think its sweet. Kevin is going to Finland for a wedding
or something. And lastly... I got a parking ticket for parking over night on
the street in winter! oh shucks! this is probably the best update ever! Go ride...er..
i mean go shovel your driveway. Winter sucks.
November 30th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ain't nothing to do... Posted by Brian at 11:27PM
Hey everybody. Nothing really new to update with today. The weather has taken
a turn for the worse and we are having 10 degree days and snow on the ground.
The Undercover contest came and went, it was a good time. I have my work cut
out for me editing 3 hours of footage for the PROPS section. Should be rad though.
Check out BMXUnion, It's
a site with more news than you can ask for. I did a write up on the UC contest
on there somewhere. Good stuff. There is also a contest at 4seasons on Dec 15th,
probably a flyer floating around somewhere. Thats all I got for ya. Go ride
if the weather lets you!
November 11th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pallet Jam Posted by Brian at 8:55PM

Well its that time again. Another DEA update. First things first... Dusty Hanson's
brother was recently involved in an accident that has put him in the hospital
and might leave him paralyzed from the chest down for life. He has been in and
out of surgury for the past 3 days and we all have our fingers crossed hoping
for the best outcome. Please keep him in your hearts and prayers. We are working
on putting together a benefit contest/session to raise some money since he doesn't
have any insurance to foot the bills. On a lighter note... we have been working
hard on some new products and printed some new shirts up, full size runs out
soon. Also, we would like to welcome Brian Wilson to the Dead End Army. Looks
like i'm not the only Brian now! haha. Also, check out the flyer above for the
midway skatepark comp thats comming up. Mike Hinken's jam is this comming saturday.
He has been sending out waves of myspace bulletins and text messages so its
impossible to not know about it! Even if you don't want to go to ride, go to
check out Alex's band EXCURSION. rad as hell! And lastly... HERE

And thats about it for now.
July 30th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drain Bamaged Posted by Brian at 10:49PM I'm a lazy son of a bitch! Damn, its been a while. But
I have a bunch of cool new stuff for you guys... and gals. Do any females come
to this site? If you are a girl and you are reading this send me an email, you
just earned yourself free stickers. Welllll, Somehow I got interviewed by the
Madison POST, a monthly magazine. Check out the article HERE.
I also threw together a super short teaser for the Oshkosh DVD in order to generate
some more interest! Click HERE
for that. Also me and Marcus Thurloff made a nice short video for the Expedition
Supply website. Its on the main page. Rachel also forced me to make a Flickr
account... Its a pretty cool website so check out my
profile and add me if you use it. And last but not least! HERE
is a brand spanking new page full of photos! Until next time, go ride a bike!
July 6th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turd Burgler Posted by Brian at 6:09PM Hey everyone. Hope you had a groovy 4th of July. Nothing
cool going on. We have been filming a bunch for the vid like always. Here

that. Go ride or something. yeah.
June 26th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is good. Posted by Brian at 12:47PM Hopefully everyone is enjoying this weather and riding!
I don't really have any news to update with. The DEA crew has just been doing
a lot of riding and filming for the DVD. We have been getting some really crazy
stuff so this vid is going to rock. I also have a whole new page full of photos!
Click HERE

video premier on saturday and they are going to show our vid before the show
the skate vid. So represent and show up!
June 15th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buy a DVD! Posted by Brian at 8:59PM
Wow.... Im a real bum! I don't really have any excuses as to why I havn't updated
the site. I've just been lazy. But anyways the DEA crew has been out riding
a ton since the weather in nice. The "Welcome To Oshkosh" DVD premiere
went down and it was all good. If you didn't get a chance to pick a copy up
that night, there are copies in our products
page. Chris moved in with Kevin, and I forsee myself spending a lot of time
at their place so I guess its the official Dead End Army Appartment! rad. Oh
yeah, we also might be getting a DEA cargo van! so keep your eyes peeled for
that, haha. In other news... David Connelly rode is bike off of a pier.....
on accident. I guess he got hurt, bummer. Greg has transformed into a full blown
thug, so if you see him just head the other direction or you might get stabbed.
May 28th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hit the lights Posted by Brian at 10:31PM
Just a reminder that the "Welcome To Oshkosh" video premier is THIS

Thats about it for now, see you all at the premier!
May 21st, 2007

The Oshkosh video is in its final stages of editing and should be out in a couple
weeks. We are trying to line up a premire so check back for that info. Anyways,
bunch of stuff going on in Oshkosh. There was an art walk this past weekend
and Streets of Fire had some awesome skateboard artwork. Also Tom Sullivan who
is the art director from the Evil Dead series came to show off his props and
to do a commentary viewing of Evil Dead. It was so awesome since Evil Dead has
to be one of my favorite movies. So I have a whole new page that is full of
photos from both events plus some riding photos and other goodies. Check it
out HERE.
May 3rd, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Farewell note to this city Posted by Brian at 5:28PM
Well my school year is comming to an end, so i'm going to get the hell out of
Oshkosh and head back home! This is a quick update just to post the video of
the Undercover bmx comp this past weekend. So here
is the contest vid. I will post a bunch of new photos tonight or tomorrow. Go
ride.
April 29th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bullets to spare Posted by Brian at 10:07PM
Well folks, welcome to another fun filled D.E.A. news update! Lets see here....
Kevin is back on his bike and shredding. The Oshkosh BMX DVD is going to be
availible in about a month or less. Just finishing up the editing now and its
looking mint. They will be for sale on the site here or you can get one from
me, they are only going to be $5!!! Streets of Fire is having a skate demo this
week tuesday. Check out their
site for details! The Undercover comp was today and it was nuts. So much
good riding, Mike was shooting photos and i was on video camera duty. So check
back for those later. In the mean time... I have so many good photos from the
past 2 weeks or so. Some awesome riding has been going on. So here
is a whole new page packed the the brim with some kick ass pictues.
April 18th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuck Armageddon... This Is Hell Posted by Brian at 10:24PM
Holy crap there is another Undecover contest comming up!!! check the flyer above
for the details. Its going to be pretty badass. The weather has been amazing
for street riding and there has been a lot of good sessions going down. I have
a whole new page full of goodies for you all to check
out. Some awesome riding pictures and some pretty interesting ones I took
when I was at home a couple weeks ago. Nothing else is really new. We might
get some Dead End Army New Era caps made, ahaha. We will see what happens.
April 11th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pedeadstrians Posted by Brian at 9:36PM Wow. I almost lost the whole website
today. Close call, almost got deleted. That would have sucked but whatever.
There is about 2 inches of snow on the ground and there is more comming our
way. This has got to be one of the worst winters ever. Street riding was fun
while the weather lasted. I just want to say that Austin Skobel has got to be
the craziest riders I have ever seen, I can't even begin to describe the things
he can do on a bike. Insane. Anyways.... Rachel Alves of RA Photography sent
me a bunch of awesome shots that she took. So check those out HERE.
Nothing else new. Go ride if you can!
April 4th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creation & Destruction Posted by Brian at 7:24PM Not much going on lately. More good weather followed
by bad weater. Dead End Army is going to be producing a DVD of everyone from
the Oshkosh BMX scene. Its going to be a short "Lotek mixtape style"
DVD that will sell for like $5. This is NOT the DEA vid! Its just a side project
that i'm working on. Either way its going to kick ass. So be on the lookout
for that in a month or two. Kevin got hurt pretty bad doing a tailwhip, he can
hardly walk and won't be riding for a while. I finally got Chris Goetz's team
page up, go look at that. Chris just got dreads too. Connelly sent me some photos
a while ago and I snapped a few over the past week or so, so HERE
is a new page full of photos for your enjoyment. More to come...
March 15th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conforming To Abnormality Posted by Brian at 5:12PM
In true Wisconsin fashion, we had a week long streak of awesome weather. Perfect
for street riding for everyone! And then today it drops to 30 degrees and there
is snow/rain/shit in the forcast. We made the most of the weather while it was
good and clocked some good footy and I even snapped a few pics. Sooooo HERE
is a new page with a medium amount of photos for your enjoyment. Not nearly
enough riding ones, but we have the weather to blame for that. I plan on taking
a bunch of photos and getting a shit load of footage when im home on spring
break. So keep checking back.
March 6th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Get Ratty!" Posted by Brian at 5:19PM Its that time of the year again! Ratty Fest is on the
24th of this month. If you've never been to ratty before, you won't want to
miss this year. Be there. Winter doesn't seem to want to give up, its snowing
right now as I type this. I think its only going to last for another week or
two. Thats all for now. Probably another update soon!
February 24th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Beating a dead horse" Posted by Brian at 10:54PM So, its been about a month since our last update. Pretty
shitty. My Excuse: The frequency of updates on this website is proportionate
to the temperature outside. In other words... it has been too damn cold to do
anything! Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Me and Biker Mike rode street
twice this week when it was 40 out, and then last night we get about 5 inches
of snow. Other than riding Undercover every chance we get, there has been next
to no bmx going on at all. I managed to get a bunch of photos from last night's
skatepark session, plus I have some that David Connelly emailed me a while ago.
So here
is a brand spankin' new page of photos. That just about does it! If you have
anything to contribute just email it to me! brian.hinckley@gmail.com.
January 31st, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Winter sucks" Posted by Brian at 4:18PM
Our web store is up and running! Check that out and buy some stuff so we can
keep up with website payments! It is super cold outside, street riding is basically
impossible. Lame. So go support your local indoor park and shred it there. David
Connelly sent me a nice big email full of pictures to post up here on the website.
I also have a bunch of new photos that I took at Midway a week or so ago. HERE
are all the new pictues. Nothing else is new. Winter is killing me.
January 23rd, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Day to daze" Posted by Brian at 1:57PM Check out our new stickers! Click the products tab on
the left, we have all new pictures of all our stuff. Pretty sweet. I'm still
working on the online store, hopefully that is up by the end of the week. Posted
a bike check for
David Connelly. Tony Schneidewind sent
me a bunch of sweet pictues, and I also have a bunch of pictues of random stuff
that went on in the past week or so. Check those all out HERE!
More to come!
January 19th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Regaining Unconsiousness" Posted by Brian at 2:44PM Yay! out new stickers came! About time. I'll have pics
of them up soon. Still working on our products page. Right on. I have a new
page full of photos for you guys. Connelly sent me a bunch of pics that Szymanski
took on his camera when we went to 4 seasons last time. And there are also a
ton of old random pictures that I found on my computer. Take a look at that
HERE. I
have a bunch more photos to update with soon. So check back!
January 9th, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Success Is..." Posted by Brian at 8:35PM
Its cold outside!!! Holy cow. HERE
is a brand new page with some fresh photos, a bunch of the bmx ones didn't really
turn out as well as I would have liked. But hey! Im just starting with photography!
Cut me some slack! ummmm. Check out Tingo
BMX .com its the website for the West Bend bmx crew. Right on man. I can't
really think of anything else thats going on. hmmm yeah that should do it!
ps. We are working on updating our products page so you can order stuff from
the site, also we will have some merch for sale at Midway
skatepark soon!
January 6th, 2007
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My head looks like a Gobstopper" Posted by Brian at 6:14PM
Right on man, bunch of stuff going on here. For starters. Chris Goetz is on
DEA now. Dude shreds, no doubt about it. Where the hell are our new stickers?
Damn. Jon Nothem has been bugging me to throw some clips of him togther in hopes
of getting more chicks on myspace. Well here
it is Jon. Don't mind the shitty editing, I just threw it together. I also was
so bored today that I made a DIY how to build a fixed gear bike for under $100.
Check that out here.
nice... Well, until next time. Go ride!
December 28th, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damn near Posted by Brian at 9:03PM Here is a bunch
of photos that I shot recently, mostly of Kevin Sullivan. David Szymanski is
off DEA. "Im not going to dis or start stuff but I don't like the direction
its going in or where it was or ever is or is going. No hard feelings. But I
don't have time to do this and have no intrest in it." This was after I
told him we didn't want him on the team anymore. At least he deleted our lame
ass myspace. Rock on!!! Got a couple cool clips of Jon Nothem and Kevin that
i'll probably post in a bit. Some pretty radical stuff. Kevin is helping out
with DEA in a huge way, he is going to help foot some of the bills. I am stoked
as hell. We have 3 new styles of stickers on the way. Keep an eye open for those.
More news and shit comming soon. GO RIDE!!!
December 23rd, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uhhhhhhhhh yeah Posted by Brian at 3:47 PM
I promised my street riding bro Sean, from Oshkosh, that I would throw some
clips of him together to post on here. Well here
is the vid, its short and sweet, hope you guys like it as much as I do. I have
a bunch of photos of Kevin that I recently shot that ill be putting up sometime
soon, also a David Connelly bike check is in the works. Should be sweet. Szymanski
likes to make fun of mentally challenged people, what a douche. Not much else
going on around here, hope everyone has a good holiday break and all that jazz,
and if you have any cool stuff to share just send it our way.
December 19th, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check this out dude! Posted by Brian at 11:33 PM
I posted bike checks for both Kevin and I. Those are on the team page. Check
those out, good stuff. Also, I want everyone to check out Hinckley
Designs. Its my sister Natalie's graphic
arts/videography/web design website. Its pretty awesome! I help her out with
a lot of the filming for the bands she works with. If you are in a band and
are ever interested in a music video or doing a DVD my sister is the person
to talk to for a good price and awesome results! Check that site out for sure.
More updates comming soon! Don't forget to add us on Myspace!
December 18th, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hard to the core Posted by Brian at 10:12 PM
Whats up everyone? Winter isn't toooo bad. Pretty chilly outside, but we manage
just fine in long underwear and gloves! I recently got a Nikon ditital SLR,
so i've been snapping pics of everthing and anything. So I threw together some
pics from the past 3 days or so. Check it out HERE
to see Chris and A-house getting rad. David Szymanski made a DEA myspace, so
if you think it sucks give him some shit. Be our friends, www.myspace.com/deadendarmy
. Peep it. Just want to say thanks to Profile for linking us from their site,
that was rad. Thanks. I'm working on a little vid of my street brother from
Oshkosh, Sean Tomason, so check back for that in a couple days.
November 27th, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holiday night street missions Posted by Brian at 6:59 PM
Well another Holiday has passed, and another late night street mission has gone
by. I think me and Marcus ended up riding until about 2 in the morning on Thanksgiving.
Good times, Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I posted a video that
I made of the Undercover Skatepark contest. Click HERE
for that or just go to the media page. Sending shout outs to Brian Wilson who
took 4th in Beginner 15+ and A-House who took second last! hell yeah! Zach Clark
killed himself and took 3rd in Advance, dude is gnarly as hell. Finally got
around to changing Kevin's default picture. haha. His new one kicks ass. That
jacket weighs no less than 20lbs. If anyone is looking for an ipod, I'm selling
a black 30GB video one with "x BONE DETH x" engraved on the back and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cost of a good impression Posted by Brian at 8:54 PM Whats up everyone? Check the flyer above for the info
on the Undercover Skatepark comp this weekend. We are planning on having a dead
end army merch table set up, so stop by and say hi. We have one new shirt logo,
it will be availible at the comp. I'm also working on setting up our webstore
so you can get your DEA merch online. Kevin's
page is up and running, and he hates his default picture, haha. I also posted
a bike check for David Szymanski
on his page.
November 9th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take the long way home Posted by Brian at 12:30 PM Not too much going on as of late. Just
riding and filming. Made a little 2 minute video of Zach Clark from up here
in Oshkosh. Click HERE to check that out.
Pretty badass. Don't forget about the comp at Undercover on the 19th of this
month, I'll post the flyer later. Go ride.
November 1st, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dude Abides Posted by Brian at 8:19 PM So, we are pretty psyched to say that
the newest member of the Dead End Army is none other than local badass Kevin
Sullivan. Im pretty sure I spelt everything right. Its been long overdue, but
better late then never. If you have ever seen Kevin ride you know whats up.
Last weekend he took 1st place in Expert at the Midway Skatepark comp. He also
jacked his leg on a crazy ass 540 to feeble grind gap. Congrats on the win and
he is probably already back on his bike. Connelly has plans for a D.E.A. BBQ
and jam this spring, should be good. There is a comp at Undercover skatepark
on Nov 19th, be there.
October 26th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ramble On" Posted by Brian at 7:37 PM Hell yeah for frequent updates!!! This time I have a
video for you all to watch. Its just kind of a trailer or a little preview of
the video we are working on. The final production is pretty far off in the distance,
but I thought it would be cool to show you guys what we have in store for the
video. So click HERE to watch the video, and
enjoy.
October 25th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If You're Feeling Sinister..." Posted by Brian at 7:16 PM Go ride your bike at the Midway com this
weekend. Info on the flyer. There was some crazy people preaching religion today
on my campus, video clips up sometime in the future... haha good stuff. I bent
the coalition cog guard after one icepick grind, maybe you will have better
luck than me... im bummed. I've been clocking some good footy of the Oshkosh
crew here, so expect a little vid in the next post. Im also working on a little
teaser for the D.E.A. vid. Something else to look forward to.
October 17th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Born To Kill" Posted by Brian at 3:46 PM
It is this time of the year that I really start to hate Wisconsin, I simply
hate the weather here, im not ready to ride park for the next 5 months. It has
been raining for the past 5 days and it is supposed to snow tonight....fuck!!!
Local shredder and all-around madman, Dylan,
recently broke his wrist and a bunch of other shit that was probably important.
Its a bummer. Me and Kevin Sullivan got some pics up on bmxonline,
pretty stoked on that. Check the link. Connelly and Szymanski fell off of the
earth. More news on that later? who knows. Me and some people have been trowing
around ideas of a Dead End Army video, Its defenetly going to happen sometime
in the future, probably not until next summer, just a heads up.
September 18th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dance with the devil" Posted by Brian at 8:34 PM
This last saturday the old crew from back home came up here to Oshkosh to shred
some street and we headed on over to Undercover later that day. It was a really
good time and I was stoked to ride with my buddies. The above video grab is
of Chris Goetz throwing it down with a huge wallride. My man Marcus was busting
out a bunch of new moves so we decided to throw together a little clip of the
footage we got that day. So check out THIS
vid to see a little bit of what Marcus has going on.
September 4th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "uh...yeah" Posted by Brian at 7:40 PM
Its a little overdue, but David C got his custom Etnies the other day. Pretty
bad ass if I may say so. "I got the insides pink, so when I put them on
I think of my girlfriend." - David Connelly. I added a
page of a bunch of random pictures. Check them out and all that jazz. Everyone
here at the D.E.A. is moving around a lot. David Szymanski is going to WCTC
in Waukeshau. David Connelly moved up to Madison for school, and I'm up in Oshkosh
for school. Stuff is a lot different and I can't say i've been riding as much
as I would like to. In fact, if you are reading this and you are anywhere near
Oshkosh send me an email. I need some people to ride with and show me all the
spots. I think that is about it. We are always looking for content so if you
have anything cool just send it our way. Thanks and keep it real.
August 20th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "GWAR!!!" Posted by Brian at 11:44 PM Shit has been pretty nuts here at the D.E.A. facilities.
First of all, we went to go see GWAR, Cannibal Corpse, Through The Eyes of the
Dead, and the Black Dahlia Murder a couple weeks ago and it was pretty rad!
Got sprayed with fake blood durring GWAR. Hmmm... well I finally put up Alex's
bio page in the team section. peep it. I also posted an interview that Alex
did with the awesome songwriter William Fitzsimmons. That is in the Media
section. Shits hot. We have been printing shirts like mad and now we have some
shirts at Expedition Supply
in Hartford that are in limited edition colors, you can only get these colors
at Expo so go pick one up! Snakes On A Plane is in theaters now so go see it,
it rules! I have so much shit to update with so I will update again in a couple
days , check back!
July 26th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "2006 Product Line" Posted by Brian at 10:59 PM Its been a while since the last update. I don't really
have an excuse, im just lazy. Anyways.... my sister Natalie is in the middle
of a three week long road trip across america. She is keeping an online journal
about the trip with pics and such. Check it out HERE.
Our fall product
line is out and ready for distro. Tell your local shop to drop us an email
to carry our stuff. We can also work out sales through the site here so just
email us. Rachel sent me some more
pics, thank you for those! There is a new web banner in the Misc. page.
Post that shit up.
July 4th, 2006 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Banfananza" Posted by David C. at 2:30 PM Brian gave me(David C) access to the site so he doesnt
have to be the only one who updates. Unfortunately, I am a retard and dont really
know hwo to work Dreamweaver....so don't expect any spectacular posts from me
and time soon. the end

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Snakes on a plane!!!"
Posted by Brian at 9:35 PM
Well, David Connelly got a new camera and has been messing around
with it quite a bit. Here
is a pic that I snapped of him getting flat on the wedge/wall at 4 seasons.
Sweet! David Szymanski is in Cali for the next couple weeks shooting photos
and partying it up with Taylor. Breakdowns and Backflips was this weekend and
it was a huge success. Glad we have Mike Hinkens in our scene to put on such
awesome jams like this one. Bone Deth also went down this weekend and there
have been a few videos floating around the web already. Here
is one, here
is another.... Yeah, crazy shit. We got some D.E.A. stickers in now. So if you
want some, just shoot me an
email at brian.hinckley@gmail.com to find out how you can get some... Alex
told me about this video that someone made. If you are at all familiar with
the band Job For A Cowboy, you will love this.
I thought it was pretty funny. If you get a chance, be sure to pick up a copy
of the latest instalement in the SHOOK
series "IT'S ON." Jeff K of Milwaukee has a full section in it. I
am glad i could help him film a couple clips of it. Its summer, weather is good,
go ride. Send me stuff to put up here is you want!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I suggest you cease and desist"
Posted by Brian at 9:08 PM Here is a video grab of this crazy little kid everyone
calls "Kentucky" at the skatepark. Not a whole lot going on. Rode
a lot of street this weekend and got some good footage. Blah blah blah, I wish
school was over with. Send me some stuff to post up here, brian.hinckley@gmail.com.
DO IT!!! David S quit his job at Hollister. Greg got a new headrest cover for
his car (aka: my underwear). David Connelly got dirty hands from a quickrete
mission. HERE is a little video I threw together
in about 2 minutes. Some new and some really old footage, basicaly all just
dumb stuff. Watch it and laugh... and yes Chris is wearing a sponge bob square
pants outfit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some plan their crimes meticulously, while others kill
on impulse
Posted by Brian at 9:18 PM
Its been a while, and not a whole lot is new. If you havn't gotten a shirt yet,
just send me an email at brian.hinckley@gmail.com and we can work something
out. ONLY $10 MAN!!! We were riding the Germantown skatepark the other day and
THE LEGEND himself showed up to ride. Here
is Connelly screaming in shock at The Legend removing his bike from its 9 month
hibernation in his van. Crazy stuff. There was a pretty rad video premier of
Tony S from Watertowns video "Average People 3" at Midway this past
weekend. Even Micah showed up. Mike Hinkens is always up to something, this
weekend is no exception. Kickball, BMX street mission, and Ghetto Bike jam.
I don't feel like explaining it so check out the flyer
and be sure to show up or Mike wil kick your ass... or something. David has
been bitching at me for about 3 months to send him this frame of this lookback
he did a while ago, I think he finally forgot about it. But I didn't!!! Here
it is David. Enjoy. Lastly... if you are into Deathmetal/Grindcore....
David Szymanski sent me a link to this
one band. fuckin brutal!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Connelly rides like a potato...?
Posted by Brian at 10:58 PM
Yeah thats right, David Connelly "rides like a potato." We recieved
this rare sighting photo of him in is natural habitat doing a fufanu. His profile
is now up on the TEAM page. Learn more that you wanted to know about him. Its
official that Greg listens to the worst rap on the planet, something about corn
on the cob. Oh, we have black and purple shirts in stock now, hit me up with
an email to get one. We have some new stuff comming to the site in a bit so
keep checking back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been a while....
Posted by Brian at 11:02 PM
So, long time no update. Well about
a month ago my motherboard on my computer decided to fry. Therefore, no updates!
I finally got myself a new computer and have all my programs up and running.
Hmmmm, news...... well for starters David Connelly has been added to the Dead
End Army as both a team rider and business partner. I am super excited to have
David as a part of D.E.A. since he is probably one of the best friends i've
ever had. Welcome to the army. Greg and Jared have been absolutely shredding
lately. We took a couple street filming roadtrips in the past weeks and clocked
some good footage that I will be posting in the following days. In other news,
I helped do some filming for SHOOK with Jeff Klugiewicz the other day. All I
have to say is make sure you pick up the next SHOOK video.... crazy stuff. Gregs
sent me a ton of pictures. They are in the Media section. check them out. I
also posted an internet DIY banner on the Misc. page. Post that thing up around
the web and on your myspace page! We appreciate any help we can get. Shirts
will be done soon. I swear.

Feet Under sent me some photos she took of a local band called Soranami.
They are in the Media section, or just click here.
Walter Pierenger of Mutiny was in town last weekend filming for a PROPS scene
report on Wisconsin, I'm psyched, you should be too. Greg finally figured out
how to work a computer and sent me his top 5's for the team page and some photos.
Photos will be up later. Check that out. Ratty Bike Fest is comming up! Be there.
I'll update again soon with some good stuff.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST NEWS UPDATE
Posted by Brian and David at 08:10 PM
Dead End was started to expose some
of the great music, art, and bmx talent in the midwest area. The idea all started
after David Szymanski and I (Brian Hinckley) started throwing ideas around about
a company that would do just that. So we hope that you enjoy what you see and
keep checking back frequently for updates about bmx, art, and music. We are
currently drawing up and printing clothing, and hope to be starting up a dead
end bmx team in the near future. So if you are interested in dead end and have
some gnarly steez send all your pictures, videos, or questions to brian.hinckley@gmail.com
