I love it when a plan comes together…
After a mellow season of snowboarding and laying low in Colorado, everything is starting to whip up into a nice Spring/Summer frenzy. Here’s a look at some of what I’ll be up to in the coming months…
- The AST Dew Tour starts up June 19 in Baltimore, just in time for me to spend International Go Skateboarding Day (June 21) with my friends and favorite pro skaters. I’ll be on all five stops writing the skate and FMX content for the Dew Tour website this year, and will also be following the action on the Free Flow Tour, the AST amateur skate/BMX contest series
- My daily skateboarding blog at http://colinbane.BNQT.com is going gonzo: More than 15,000 visits in the month of April! Check out this recent post on all the cool women’s skateboarding stuff happening this summer and this report on X Games Brazil for a taste of what the blog is about.
- My action sports blog on the FUEL.tv website is also going strong: I recently interviewed pro skater Annie Sullivan and Skatepark of Tampa masterminds Brian Schafer and Ryan Clements. Also, check out my look at documentary-in-the-making God Went Surfing With the Devil and this update on the recovery process for fallen BMX hero Stephen Murray.
- To help celebrate my homecoming as a Colorado local after many years on the East Coast, I picked up a new gig this month as a book critic for The Rocky Mountain News. This is actually a homecoming in more ways than one: The Rocky Mountain News was the first major publication to feature my work, with a report on the Denver music scene written when I was a Senior in high school! I will post links to my book reviews as soon as they are available.
- I’m also now working on all kinds of projects in partnership with The Ruby Media Group and SOS Communications. I can’t divulge a lot right now but… let’s just say I’m working with a few of the biggest names in action sports.
