“After two short years, we’re sad to announce that Kevin is leaving Verde and moving on to Macneil. I met Kevin while he was competing in park at the very first Baltimore Dew Tour. As one of the few brakeless riders on the park course, Kevin immediately stood out with his ability to mix big and tech tricks. Shortly after, he joined the Verde team and began to focus on street and filming. While still capable of doing nearly every ramp trick known to man, you’d hardly know it as he focuses on his ever-growing arsenal of tech street tricks. I’m sure we’ll all be amazed by the switch and opposite subtleties that have become synonymous with Kevin’s style as he joins the Macneil crew this year. From everyone at Verde and The Greenhouse, we wish him the best of luck.” — Cory Muth, Verde Bikes

“With all the rain we have been getting me and some friend decided to hit up a mates barn in Devon for a mellow evening session. The setup there looks like something from the early 90s, well bumpy and bad lighting. It’s made up from layer on layer of scrap wood from the back of building sites but it’s such a rad setup and so much fun to ride. Here’s a couple of pic from the session.” — Martyn Tambling
