Hannah Roberts - Super Clean Tuck No-Hander

    The 1st Annual Battle for Northern Indiana is in the books!  This time we are at The Kitchen BMX & Skatepark in South Bend Indiana, home course of the Maddog himself, Brett Banasiewicz!   I want to personally thank each and every person who helped make this amateur contest series become a reality.

2014 Recon Tour Dates & Locations Released!

I had some serious fun at last years Monster Army Recon Tour!  Myself along with Solution Actions Sports head honcho, Justin Hardin announced both The Kitchen in South Bend,  and the Final day at The Flow Skate Park in Columbus, Ohio -RIP

I am really psyched to see Ohio Dreams added to the list!  Can't wait to see what new shredders will make the cut!  Mark your calendar, plenty of Mid-West Action coming right up!

The Battle for Northern Indiana - The Kitchen BMX & Skatepark Stop #2 Results

The Battle for Northern Indiana headed up to South Bend Indiana at The Kitchen BMX & Skatepark on this past Sunday for stop #2! Many thanks to everyone once again who helped make this a reality.  This contest focused on the younger generation of Riders and proved positive for all involved.  Next year we will add some more sponsors and some more locations to continue to grow the sport around the mid-west.

Dalton Edwards, a 15 year old young man who won the 1st stop in Fort Wayne just one week ago had a bad crash literally minutes before the event was to start. He crashed very hard on the box jump section and was rushed to a South Bend Hospital.  Dalton had emergency surgery and is now healing up, and is now in the recovery process..  Thanks to everyone at the Kitchen for the super good emergency skills that ensured Dalton was taken care of as fast as possible.    Please keep Dalton Edwards, and his Family in your thoughts and prayers as he heals up!

The Battle Begins... Words & Pictures from Fort Wayne, New Republic Skatepark

Nico Vanderheyden - No Footed Can-Can

The Battle for Northern Indiana began its day with 4" of snow on the ground.  A challenge for all who was travelling to New Republic Skatepark in Fort Wayne.  The day began nice and early by shoveling and gearing up the park for it's 1st ever competition of any kind.  Justin Hardin and Jordan Bowen showed up with the Solution Action Sports rig with a portable box jump in tow.
