Eastern Bikes French rider Greg Masson is known for doing some crazy things on his bike. He doesn't disappoint with this superman seatgrab to footjam.

Stewy
Posted 1 week, 4 days ago

One day Matt Sparks hit me up saying that his friend Stewy needed a frame. I've seen Stewy at the JoMo Pro and really liked the way he rode plus it looked like having fun on his bike was priority number one. So I sent Stewy a Tramp frame and he sent me back some great photos and a video. You can also see a little more of him on the Albe's site since they hook him up too. Enjoy...       An edit from Chris Hersey Stewy's shirt is the best.
