Wondering what’s been up with the 2-Hip crew? Ron W.is going to fill you in…

GREETINGS FROM 2-HIP LAND! These days Santa Cruz is beeeautiful, and things are poppin’ here at 2-HIp:

1. Get ready for the new 2006 2-Hip video ‘UNDER THE RADAR to be released beginning of March, featuring ground-breaking sections of the amazing 2-Hip team:
Lino Gonzalez (Massechussets)
Jarrod Allen (Santa Cruz)
Cory Jarman (Colorado)
Benno Hankowetz (Austria)
Mauricio Ospina (Colombia)
Matt Wakefield (United Kingdom)

And The Other 2-Hip Riders:
Jake Ortiz (Seattle)
Fernando Ramiro (Central California)
Steve-O Scoffone (Santa Cruz)
Mark Gonzalez (not related to Lino) (Mars)

2. 2-Hip is beginning a new line of 2-Hip HANDMADE products, beginning with the just released Lino Gonzalez signature USA-made frameset , featuring a Euro BB shell and integrated headset, in black, gray, and army brown, with either a 20.25″ or 20.6″ top tube lengths.

Lino’s new frame weighs in at 5 lb 14 oz and is in stock now.

3. We just picked up Steve-o Scoffone, a ripper from Santa Cruz. Steve-o is exceptionally talented on street, dirt, and park, and definitely a loose goose.

4. 2-HIp has just worked a deal with ADIDAS shoes to hook up the team riders for 2006. Look for some BIG stuff to come in the future with 2-HIp and Adidas!

5. 2-HIp Summer tour MC needed!
We’re looking for someone cool that is 20+ year old, into BMX, and can have confidence on the mic and handle living with stinky BMX riders in a van all summer. Ron W. will train you in the 2-HIp show. All expenses paid + a per show amount paid. Send info to info@2hip.com

6. Look for the brand new 2-HIp ramp/trailer set-up to be touring the USAfor the 17th year in a row this summer! The shows will be rocking hi-energy BMX freestyle, as always, and will circle the U.S. creating mayhem in its wake.

7. Ron W. just rode vert for the FIRST TIME in 14 months at Woodward, after his gnarly motorcycle accident. He and his girl also just got married in Vegas, by Elvis! Her name is VANESSA KEVIN HOLANDA MACHADO, and she recently moved to the USA from Brasil, where she and Ron W. met three years ago… There will be wedding vows/ring exchange parties in the USA and BRASIL later this year - look out for some craziness…

Check the photo of the wedding party with Ron W.’s two daughters, friends, and popstar JASON MRAZ on the right, who had JUST opened for the Rolling Stones at the HardRock, and then jammed outta there to be on time for the wedding - cool. (And it was he that bought the shades for all.)
