Marysville Bike Shop teams up with us to kick off our Spring & Summer tour!
|
Some old school riders will remember the days of Fanticycle which was in the same location that MBS sits in today. Decades ago Ron and Chris Jenkins (Rip) founded Fanticycle bike shop encouraging people to get out and ride. That same spirit of encouraging fun on 2 wheels is as substantial today as it ever was. Bob Olson & Jenny Bauer Olson have put their heart and soul into making Marysville Bike Shop a valuable resource for novice to professional riders. When it comes to quality bikes and accessories MBS knows their stuff and can recommend what will work best for the kind of riding that is done. The shop is located at -
1511 Grove St, Marysville, WA 98270 [email protected] (360) 548-3311 https://www.msvlbikeshop.com/ |

SPECIAL FOR VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON'S HARMONY ELEMENTARY STUDENTS
Continue living and loving the drug-free lifestyle by riding with a BMX professional! Special opportunity just for Harmony Huskies. In appreciation for your being such a great group of boys and girls at our January 9, 2014 Drug and Bullying Prevention assembly, a Ride & Glide team member is going to be at the Portland Lumberyard Indoor Bike Park at 7 pm on Sunday the 12th and 19th of January just to ride and hang out with you! Ask Brent questions about BMX stunt riding, watch him perform more tricks, and do some riding of your own! This is a part of the Lumberyard's regular Sunday Shred Session and occurring for only two nights! Parents are encouraged to sign their children up for this special event. Providing your child alternative activities to drugs and alcohol and getting them involved in a safe, community space where they can grow their skills and interests is an excellent way to divert them from substance abuse. Happy landings! |

ARTICLE IN VANCOUVER FAMILY MAGAZINE ABOUT RIDE & GLIDE -- October 2013
“Ride and Glide Professional BMX Stunt Team Gears Up to Put an End to Bullying on Back to School Tour”
One in four children in the U.S. are bullied on a regular basis according to school bullying statistics. The growing number of students affected by bullying illustrates a huge problem with bullying within the American school system. These effects include depression, poor self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety about going to school as a result of being bullied by their peers.
Ride & Glide Professional BMX Stunt Team stands together with students, teachers and parents to put an end to bullying with a show that is as beneficial as it is fun. Positive messages that lead to a happy and healthy life are skillfully interwoven with amazing stunts during the team’s 45-minute performance. These positive role models lead by example and inspire kids to be a buddy, not a bully. The team’s founder Brent Sprute says, “Making a positive difference in kid’s lives is what I enjoy most about our school shows . . . well, that and doing back-flips on my Redline BMX Bicycle!”
The team’s tour will take them to elementary, middle/junior and senior high schools throughout Clark and Multnomah Counties this fall and winter. The team is living proof that each and every student can grow up to live their dreams by working hard and overcoming obstacles. Team hero Evel Knievel said it best when he stated, “You can fall many times in life, but you’re never a failure as long as you try to get up.”
Ride & Glide has performed in China, Russia, India and other countries, impressing clients such as Nike, Microsoft, Pepsi and the NBA, but feels it is very important to strengthen local communities and give back to the sport of BMX. PTAs, school districts, and all other interested people and organizations are encouraged to visit the team’s website www.rideandglide.com. “The calendar is filling up fast because we won’t turn down any public or private schools based on their ability to afford a show. We always find a way to make it work!” Sprute said, referring to the team’s latest program for under-funded PTAs and schools.
The under-funded school program is a great opportunity for schools because it offers eligible schools a free show for students and staff during the school day if followed by a ticketed performance at the same school within a few weeks. (Ticketed performances are always on a weekend, and tickets are never more than five dollars per person.) The team’s performances are often subsidized by event sponsors. The team proudly endorses its current sponsors Redline Bicycles, Pryme Safety Gear and Emerald Pacific Outfitters.

A few weeks ago bunch of guys got together in Portland Oregon..... What went down that day was nothing short of amazing!
Tuesday March 9th - Where are we going and where have we been?!
Today I found some hidden treasure on my computer while preparing a marketing proposal. Photos from around the world and posters from past events that I held while working for Thrill-Zone. It took me back to some good times. That's not to say that these are not good times; it's just that things look different after some time has passed and now I can fully appreciate all the hard work and effort that was put in to those events. So I guess if there is a lesson or any meaning behind this little update it is this..... Work hard at what you do today and you will be remembering the past with many fond memories.

Sam has been up in the mountains snowboarding like crazy while the rest of the team rides between rain storms and enjoys the sessions at Washington states only indoor skate park.
