Easily one of the best action sports events to ever hit Milwaukee was last weekends Generation Evel at the Harley-Davidson Museum. Superstars from every facet of BMX were there strutting their stuff for the Milwaukee patrons. Division was invited and ridaz J.J. Flairty (pictured) Mykel Larrin, jason “Tippy” Minor and Tim Knoll participated as the home town contingent.

Drew Bezanson came all the way from Nova Scotia to participate in the shows. Check out how much stuff is going down in this picture. Dark Custom take off ramp, check. Vietnam 2 1/2 ton 6 wheeler, check. Cannon ball at height with awesome background, check.

Nate Wessel not only built the ramps but also shredded them into toothpicks. Nac-nac seat grab by one of the few individuals that can make anything look burly. Yeah Nate!

BMX icon Mike “Rooftop” Escamilla thrilled the crowd with his antics and tricks. Full commitment nosepick on the back-railing under the watchful eye of Division announcer Micah Kranz. Check him out on LA Ink this whole season.

Here is a nice overview of the course. All pics taken by Dave Friemuth.

Location:Milwaukee WI

Ottawa Super Expo has been held for 122 consecutive years, that’s pretty impressive when you think about it. Before the circus, or the organized fair, there was the Super Ex, with sideshows and snake oil salesmen. It was an honor they invited Division to bring our exciting brand of Bmx action. The boys put down some of the best shows of the summer! Pictured is Ottawa native and all around good person Steven Moxley. It’s wonderful to have a local come hold his own and show how every city has a Bmx scene.

Rollie Flasch is a menace on and off his bike. He took the trip to Ottawa and looked as comfortable as ever on the box jump. He progressed every day and by the end of the trip had an all new arsenal of tricks.

We met some new friends in eight six six industries and they rode commendably. Billy Van Vaut at the helm of this Cliff Hanger.

Mykel Larrin doing him, as he would say. Super whip with full body extension. There will be an edit made for this show in the near future so keep an eye out for that! Pictures stolen/used with permission from Chris Topp (www.christopp.ca) and Denis Chatterton (http://www.pplmove.com)

This event is shaping up to be one of the biggest action sport events to ever hit Milwaukee.  Harley-Davidson has teamed up with some amazing BMX stars and asked Division BMX to be involved in so many ways.  Come down to the museum and check out the all of the Evel Memorabilia and even Travis Pastrana’s double flip X Games bike.

Drew Bezanson, Brian Kachinsky,Mike Escamilla, Nate Wessel, and Chad Kagy are all scheduled to be riding the custom built course while Micah Kranz and Zack “Catfish” Yankush will be holding down the microphones.  You won’t want to miss this Milwaukee exclusive event coming THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!

Jeff K of Midwestbmx.net fame made this quick video for his website.  There has been a lot of work done and props to him for keeping the Midwest BMX scene well represented.  Thanks for doing shows with us and good luck with all your travels Jeff!

Brady Street shows went down without a hitch and again this year the people of Milwaukee were treated to some hometown talent.  Pictured here is Mykel Larrin flipping over Joel Goltry.  We wish nothing but good vibes to Joel after his motorcycle accident.  He is recovering well and should be back in the swing of shows soon!  For the record, all photo’s in this section were stolen from photographers Steven Alexander and Bonnie DeLap.

Quinn Semling made a surprise appearance at the Brady Street Festival.  He was in Chicago riding in the Dew Tour Open and while visiting his family  decided to grace the Milwaukee crowd with one of their superstar son’s.  Here he is pictured in the middle of a 360, with a face only a mother can love.

Rollie Flash has a new bike and has rekindled his love for doing BMX shows once again.  He has been progressing the nothing variations lately and spinning 360’s with his eyes closed.  Take a look at the people’s faces at the bottom of the photo.  BMX shows extend to every age range.  BMX IS AWESOME!

J.J. Flairty has a passion for anything with handlebars and here he is with a BMX in his hands.  He always has a smile on his face and has never missed a Brady Street Festival.  He is simply doing an air on the face of the ramp but this picture shows how stylish J.J. is on his bike.  Not a limb off the body and still it is a great looking picture.  Awesome American flag in the background.  J.J. Flairty is BMX fun!

This picture is just too cool not to use.  Amazing angle of a Griz Air preformed by Mykel Larrin.  He does this trick on vert, in flips, and straight over box jumps.  May he never stop doing this trick, it just looks so good!

A few pictures have recently hit facebook from the Travers City Michigan show. The fans really ate up the FMX and BMX and a lot of new friendship were made. There was a BMX track on the same grounds as the fair so there were a lot of BMX fans in the house. Thank you for everyone who came and showed support. This is Craig from Detroit and he came in as a last minute replacement. He shredded the box jump and brought some new flavor to the ramp.

Cody Elkins kills it on a motorcycle, he also isn’t half bad on a quad. This is wonderful execution of a Kiss Of Death and looks pretty wild frozen in time. This is the 6th show Elkins has done with Division and we only hope for continued work with him. It’s amazing the characters you meet while doing BMX stunt shows. Check out his website CodyElkins.com

Mykel Larrin doing what he does best. Huge Tuck no hander with the worst run up ever. The riders had to pack the dirt with Cody’s monster truck and then had to put down a huge rubber mat to make sure that the ground was still hard enough. Either way they persevered and put on another great demo. All photo’s stolen from Dinah Gauthier’s Facebook.

Mykel Larrin once again surprised everyone with a wild card invite to the Portland Dew Tour Wendy’s Invitational. He rode in the vert class and after a hard fall in his first run, he put together a full pull and placed top 15. Division Bmx is proud of Mykel and wish him further success in his Professional Career. Part time Division rider Kevin Porter also placed 15th respectively in Dirt Jumping.

Division announcer Micah Kranz once again threw down duties for espn. Here he is pictured with 4 time dew your champion Jamie Bestwick.

Fmx and Bmx combination shows are becoming the norm lately. It’s good to stay well versed in the action sports regalia and meet new characters in other respected sports. Here is our set up all artsy fartsy.

Cody Elkins dot com’s truck parked like he’s in Weatherford Oklahoma. Flips galore and good times had by all. Thanks Travers City!

You’re going to have a contest on a beach and your looking for an announcer? Micah Kranz once again stepped up to the plate and took his announcing skills to another level. This time to live transmission.

Here is Micah Kranz and Austin Coleman holding down the Tv booth during the contest. Check out. www.usopenofsurfing.com for daily updates and some pieces done by Micah and Austin!

Division announcer Micah Kranz has been spending time in the California area doing work for ESPN at the X games, the super bowl of action sports. Here is his credentials, good to see he is taking things seriously…

That ramp really IS mega! Why would you build it next to a motocross track full of dirt?

Probably the weakest vert ramp the X games has had in years. It was propped up on a stage in a theater which gave it an amazing atmosphere. Let’s say they got it half right?

Pictured here is Brian Kachinsky and @theaaronross. Brian has done shows with Division in the past and muscled a third place medal in the street category. Brandon Dosch, another division alum, rode his heart out in park but just missed out on the podium. Division is always proud of their friends and riders. BMX is awesome!!
