Rider of the Week! - Brock Paddock

So this is a few days late but I figured we better keep this thing goin; and who better to do so than our very own Brock Paddock. Brock is just 16 years old and sooo hood! In a good way though, I mean we all know the kid throws!

Since the release of the teaser Brock has made a reputation for himself as "kid in the G-suit" but more notably,"the kid that flips off everthing." And it's true what they say, the kid can flip off anything and make it look so hood! A few weeks ago Brock took a shot at his first Dub Flat 9 and brought it to his feet first try in competition, nearly stompin out a win had his ski not popped off in the landing. Just this weekend Brock showed us that he can hold his own with the pros at the PBP shoot, throwing huge rodeos through the 7th st. pillars. The kid is comin up fast and he just learned to drive!

So for the love of wall flips, tree flips, barrel flips, pillar flips, Kang flips, and every other kind of flippy imaginable, Brock Paddock has been named TSP "Rider of the Week." Keep on flippin dawg!
Oh and did I mention that he kills it on rails too? Soo hood!

Poor Boyz filming with TSP in Bozeman?

So after several shoots at the 7th Street Underpass, we found ourselves there yet again last night. Why? Well, as it turns out Poor Boyz Productions and some of their riders got a look at some of our spots in the "Come Find Us" teaser and must have thought they had some potential. Over the last few days PBP has been in Helena shooting some of the rails we hit and yesterday made their way to Bozeman to find the Underpass hit. We had the opportunity to show them the spot and have a collab shoot, so we took it.

The shoot went well and although the shots we got yesterday are nothing in comparison to the flaming train shots from before, we did get so more media for the film. In particular was Brock Paddock's rodeo through the pillars which in our opinion, took trick of the night, even up againt the likes of professional riders, Matt Walker, Charles Gagnier, and Alexis Godbout. But that's certainly not to say that those riders didn't kill it. After last night the spot has officially been slain!

So be lookin out for shots of the Underpass, Lindley, some Helena rails, and possibly other Montana spots, not only in "Come Find Us" but in the upcoming Poor Boyz film as well. We'll keep gettin the hype up and see if we can't get Montana more of the recognition it deserves. It'll be interesting to see who will "Come Find Us" next.

Rider of the Week! - Todd Kirby

Todd Kirby is slowly making a habit of sweeping rail jam comps across Montana, starting with Wildwood and then killing Volcom PBRJ yesterday. He also recently became the first person we know of to throw urban dubs, makin for some of the best footage we've got all season! It is because of these recent accomplishments and his overall shredability that Todd has been named TSP "Rider of the Week." Big ups to the soon to be famous, Todd Kirby!
