The Radavist

I simply love what Torey has done with Wrahw over the past few years. He’s established a family of riders that are all like-minded and ride with a similar style, the latest being Colin Foster. Colin’s riding in Baltimore and NYC is far from what you’d call the norm in FGFS today. Unfortunately, this will be the last Wrahw project, as released this statement with the video:

“fter four years of weird fun it is time for WRAHW to come to a close. This project has grown to a level way beyond my expectations and I am highly thankful for that, but it is time to move on. I really appreciate all the friends and family of ours that have been down since the beginning, and anyone who has helped support us in any and all ways. Thanks a lot. Stay wild.”

While none of these clips are recent, almost all of them are still relevant. Torey‘s crank arm slides are some of the best in the game and you can always expect weird lines. Keep at it man.

Digging this new design by Wrahw:

“This shirt has been in the works for way too long but we are all proud of how it came out. Ive been a nerd for sleeve print shirts for so long now and its sick to have one that I can wear everyday until it looks like a rained on newspaper. My boy is wearing a size medium in the photo above. There is the video that we put together to give a little more insight as to how the shirt looks and fits, and you know that riding had to go off in there.”

We’ll start off with the latest Wrahw Witchtape.

See more below.

Torey has been working on his edit for Breakbrake 17 for a bit and like all good things, it’s worth the wait! His style is honed like an ax waiting for battle, so expect the big, fire crackin gaps, long nose mannies and all the techy tire lines he’s known for. This one’s dialed man!

Don’t miss out on this exclusive for PiNP.

Torey over at WRAHW posted up an in-depth write up on fixed freestyle that had me feeling a bit nostalgic. It’s crazy to me that kids would own a FGFS bike before they’d own a track bike and that a lot of people might not even remember when Tracko was into the fledging “sport”.

Check out more at WRAHW. It’s well worth a Sunday afternoon read.

I am pumped on both of these photos. The first being Torey doing a double tire slide, shot by Matt Spencer of Wolf Drawn and the second is of Osaka Funny’s BB17 Serpent, by Bob Woods. This company has a great roster of very creative riders.

All of Rick’s photos from this trip look great, including these two. I already commented on Rick’s Flickr that the second photo would be even better if the horizon and the shadow edge aligned. Regardless, these are great photos.

Torey was on the road in Toronto, filming for his BB17 edit last month. This nose mannie to nollie out was caught by Rick one afternoon during the trip. Looks dialed. He’s got more coming in for Breakbrake 17, so keep an eye out.

When I see bikes like this, all I hear is “KABOOOOOOOOM” “CRUUUUSHHHHH” “CLANNNNG”. The sounds of a big-boy bike. 29’rs will always look more bad ass than 26″, sorry! Check out more of this mother fuckin’ beast at the Breakbrake 17 blog. Torey, this shit looks raw as hell.

Torey sent over this interview he set up with Colin Foster over on WRAHW. Head over to check out the mind of a ripper. Bmore is a bastion of creative and quirky riding. I love it!

Torey got a lil loose while he was in SF. I’ve heard buzzings of what went down but this is the first “media” to drop from his trip. Matt Reyes with the shot, Breakbrake 17 with the product.

Can’t wait for this. 100% general badassery!

“This is the teaser for the upcoming Loose Nuts Cycles tour video “Southern Safari” starring Miles Mathia, Kareem Shehab, Torey Thornton, and Tom Lamarche. This film chronicles a 2 week long fixed gear freestyle road trip across the deep south and will be available soon for digital download.”

Wrahw’s new promo video for their Brain Shader caps is everything you’d expect from the Blood Fam. Pick up a cap here.

Torey from Wrahw chopped up his BMH part that he filmed last year. His part and Tom’s were my favorite on the DVD. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, do so here.

I saw this on Torey‘s Facebook last night and he emailed me the high res to post. Damn, how rad is that photo? The lighting is perfect and the trick is just so wacky that it all comes together perfectly. If you can’t figure out what’s going on, Torey gapped from the stairs and tire bonked the trunk. Not bad man.
