Terry Adams News & Updates

I am just wrapping up a 3 week Red Bull college  tour . I hit so many colleges over the past couple of weeks. It was insane. Everywhere from NC, SC, Ohio, Indianapolis, Michigan, & OKC. This was probably the longest trip I ever taken. I must say, This was a true journey for me! Meeting college students & explaining to them how I have BMX my job was a true pleasure. A ton of riding went down, A ton of interviews, A little bit of filming, & even some party time. Check out the photos below to view a some of my journey.

Me doing a bit of riding for a Campus NewsPaper in SC.. Pretty cool stuff.

Radio interview in a state I don’t I even remember. Wow. I need to start taking notes.

Passing through Greensboro I was able to link up with the flat crew. Thanks to these guys for coming out for the session. I had a blast!

Demo at a School BBQ somewhere in SC

I did 3 days in INDY for the motorcycles on meridian event. Thanks for the Indy flat crew for coming out to ride. & Thanks to Alan for being my MC. You did a rad job homie.

I stopped over in Saginaw,Michigan to see my greatest friend Justin Miller. He put me to work 15 minutes after I arrived to pull some big concrete pieces out from under a tree. I love this guy & would get my hands dirty for him any day. Oh yeah if you wondering who Justin is.. He is the best flatland rider that ever lived. Just a taking a little break. :)

Me on the Oklahoma News at 7:30 in the morning.. Never again! haha

During the last days of my trip I stopped in for a in-studio interview with newsok.com

My last demo of my trip was in Norman, OK … It was in the street’s for a tailgate football game. I must say. These football fans were pretty silly. Happy to show them some flatland. Well, Thanks for checking out the photos people! Next stop, HAMMOND, Louisiana. yayyyyy.

I just returned from a 7 trip where I rode with the locals, shot photos with all the BMX magazines, hung out with my wife, & chilled with my friends from the west coast. It was so many photo & video shoots & it was even crazy for me! I have put together a couple of photos from my trip. peep em!

I shot a really rad street/flat edit for the ride BMX site. It took me a full day to film & I am really stoked on everything I pulled so look out for it..  Street mixed with flat is the new shit!

On this awesome trip I lost my new iphone 4 whale watching so thanks to my wife Vanessa for snapping  pretty much all these shots on her phone for my blog update! Above is a photo of me riding at the Globe Spot in Long Beach with all the locals. After the session ended Fat Tony hosted a party at his house for the premier of my new DVD. Thanks to all the riders that came & thanks to Fat for hooking that up!

I did a crazy photo shoot with a high profile fashion photographer on this trip. The photos should be hitting a fashion magazine sometime in the fall. The photos turned out amazing & I even had my own stylist that gave me 6 wardrobe changes. It was super fun!

Wardrobe change number 6..

I stopped by Red Bull HQ to pick out some new hats & visit the company that has been supporting me since 2004. Thanks to everyone at Red Bull & ofcourse thanks to Ilana for giving me a tour.  (again)

Heres a sneak peek of a photo shoot with Jeff Z from Ride Magazine.  Photo should be dope!

I was really stoked to bring my wife on this trip so she could enjoy the beach while I rode with the west coast flatland crew.. As you can see…. she loves the LA life!!

Me & Fat jumping a fence to shoot a web edit for the ride site.. Dropping soon!

I even used my wife as a human tripod while shooting with Red Bull Photographer Marv Watson. So Happy I have a rad & supportive wife to help out for things like this.

We made it back home &  I am now preparing for my next trip. I am leaving for a Red Bull appearance in 2 days in St. Louis, MO .. I will ofcourse update you again when I return home so keep checking back!!

I have been meaning to do a special blog post about Matthias for a couple of weeks. After watching him ride today online live at the BMX Masters I knew it was time.  I once read “ones that admire positive & successful people turn out pretty damn successful themselves” Its pretty obvious that Matthias had a great role model to look up too growing up over the past couple years (Alex)..  But its not only his success as a BMX rider that I have noticed about Matthias. His drive, his passion, his attitude, & of-course his skills have impressed me each time I see him. I have been a true fan of this kid for so many reasons. Its been awesome to watch a rider make flatland look so marketable & hip just by the way he presents himself at every contest  & media interview. It has honestly made me so proud to be a professional rider knowing that Matthias is out there making it look so dope! Matthias is the only person I have met that can sound confident in everything he says but also stays humble at the same time. Anyway, I just wanted to give this guy a shot out. He is doing great things for flatland & BMX for that matter. Keep up the good work homie! Your killing it!

This morning I had a full page article in the Daily Star newspaper about my toy finger bike that will be hitting the major outlet stores sometime in October. I have received a sample of the toy & I must say this thing is really cool! Can’t wait till this puppy drops!

Last night Safehaven skatepark in Alexandria, Louisiana was nice enough to host a screening of the new version of my DVD “Dreams” Me & Mickey Gaidos (filmier/editor/best friend) rolled out to the premier to show our faces & even do a demo for the crowd before & after the movie was showed. This crowd was very stoked to have us come out! Even the Mayor of the city was there to watch so that was awesome!

Pretty big crowd that watched & the film looked amazing on the big projector screen.

 My sponsor Raising Canes even came & set up a booth! Which later on ended up being the autograph signing table. Kids seemed to be very inspired by the film so that was Rad!!

I brought out a ton of Terry Cane Fan shirts to give out to the crowd. They loved the shirts & most people left the premier wearing the. Thanks to Canes for making these dope shirts for me!

My sponsor Red Bull sent out the Wing Teams girls to come support the event & pass out some energy to the kids. Thanks to Scott Lopker & Catherine Dinan for hooking that up. Okay.. That is enough updates for today. I am going for a ride.

My Props interview has been playing all week pretty regularly on Fuel TV. Pretty stoked to be getting that TV coverage!!!   Makes me smile..  :)

On the 4th of July I had a photo on the main page of Danscomp.com that featured me riding in the middle of a firework explosion! It was one of the wildest photo shoots I have ever done & turned out amazing!

Go download  this rad ad of me & Aaron Ross for a wall paper over at the Odyssey site . The ad was also featured in the latest issue of Ride magazine. So am stoked!

I have this toy that is dropping in Wal-marts, Targets , & all other major outlets sometime in October. It has been a dream of mine for many years to have my own toy. I can’t believe it.. But now its a reality!!

I am stoked! Make sure to pick one up & get your finger flickin on!

ESPN just posted a pretty lengthy article/interview about not only my career but some of my experiences during hurricane Katrina..

This interview also includes a video part from my DVD along with a super nice photo gallery. I am pretty pumped on how this thing turned out. anyway, please click here to check it out..

Thanks to all my friends and BMX fans I just hit 4,000 friends on my facebook page! Thanks guys.. That really stokes me to have your support! Click here if you want to add me as a friend! Also click here for my twitter!

I have a 2 page spread in the new issue of Ride BMX magazine. It is a Pro Q & A that features various fans, readers, and other pro riders that sent in their questions for me to answer. Even Daniel Dhres sent over a flatland question which was pretty rad.  I am stoked!

Some of my recent webedits were talked about on to the last 2 episodes of the Big Big BMX show on VItalBMX..  I am pretty stoked.. Peep em by clicking here

Pretty stoked that the Odyssey/Flatware joint edit with Aaron Ross was talked about on the show as well. If you some how missed that edit.. you can watch it by clicking here 

This week I did a demo for my old 5th grade school. It was amazing to me that I rode my BMX bike in the lunch room on stage for the talent show 15 years ago at the same school.

I spoke to the kids about following their dreams and never giving up.. I was super stoked on this demo and pretty sure the kids were as well.. I am in NC at the moment doing some demos for Red Bull.. I will post some updates from the trip real soon.. Thanks guys!

I have a 2 page spread with Aaron Ross in the new Ride UK magazine. I had an idea of doing a web edit with a street rider in an attempt  to bring  BMX together. This video/photo shoot took me 4 years  to make happen. I am super stoked that the dream finally became a reality. Web edit drops next week!

I just returned from France for the FISE contest. I must say this contest must be bigger then the X-Games & Dew Tour in the USA. The Crowd is so big and get so loud for the riders it is seriously one of the best contest in the world. My wife and I  had the privilege of taking the journey  to the south of France with my great friends Alex & Elodie Jumelin. It was honestly some of the best times of my life & I will never forget the parties, the jokes, and great stories. I have put together a collection of photos from the trip.

When we arrived in France I soon found out that Alex was working on a completely new style. After being being punk rock, gangsta, rapper, gay, and fashion model he has decided to be Wolverine. WOW!

 This is his goal… Can he achieve it? I hope so.. keep going bro!

The first day I arrived Alex took me to his personal riding spot. Before he opened the door he reminded me that Tuesdays are flatland school. Wow .. How did I forget that Alex Jumelin has his very own flatland School. I was so stoked to ride with the students and watch their progression!

Th next day we started our 12 hour drive to the Montpellier. The wildest part of the trip is Alex has the only big American truck in France. People look at us like we are naked in this truck. Alex says it may be the only big truck in all of Europe.. wow.. It was memories I will never forget.  One time Alex slammed the brakes on the truck & I flew across the seat while sleeping & cut my knee.. OWWWW.

This was the view out the window. It was the most beautiful land I had ever seen. Grassy mountain tops with Castles & stone houses  for the entire drive!

When we arrived at the contest location of course it was raining and qualifications was postponed until the next day. It was ok for us because it meant more fun & partying for that night.

Every night Vanessa & Elodie dressed up and we headed to the parties. It was some super ghetto times with drinking in the streets and clubin till sunrise but it was super awesome.

The nights would start like this..

and end like this..

Every party night would end with a big Hug from Alex. Thanks for being the greatest friend in the world bro.. I cherish the long talks, endless practice sessions, and great parties we have had.

Finally the day of the contest arrived. I made the final with one of the best runs of my life. The finals had thousands of people watching & it was an honer to be in the top 8. Although Moto took me out in my first battle I was super stoked on how I rode with no touches and fist pumps to the crowd!

I was super stoked that my good friend Daniel Dhers stopped over to the flatland course to watch a little flatland. Its great to have someone like Daniel that supports all forms of BMX. Thanks homie for the respect of flatland and your roots of BMX. Keep tweet’in..

Daniel even got a little session on my bike and showed that he had some flat skill as well.  Funky chicken..

Stoked to be on the flatland area.. Lovin’ BMX life.

After the comp we headed back to Paris & my last day was spent watching Alex’s two sons ride with him in front of his home. You can see that Gabon  already has the skills from his dad. So cute..

Nathan is Alex’s oldest son. Already learning tricks, learning English, & loving the ladies..

I wanted to dedicate this blog update to Alex. Thanks for everything homie. You are the perfect family man and a rider I will always look up to. Honored to have you as a friend. Congrats to Matthias once again for killing the competition.. And thank you Uchiee for making me laugh until my stomach hurts.

Just landed this photo in the latest issue of Cream Magazine. The photo was taken in front of a light wall that was built for Anthony Napoliton when he signed on with Red Bull. Thanks to Nick Shrunk for sending the light wall all the way to the Fight w/ Flight contest in Indy just to shoot this amazing photo! Stoked!

I just returned from a 2 day trip from New Hampshire. I did a couple demos for the students at UNH.. Pretty stoked to ride for a bunch of College kids that had most likely never seen flatland before.. Click here for the You tube clip!

While doing demos in Chicago last month I filmed a pretty rad web edit with my boy Buck.. All slow mo.. Click here to view the edit..

I just took 1st place at the twighlight contest in Athens, GA! The contest was held in the pouring down rain and all the riders decided that the show must go on. Pretty stoked that the spectators decided to watch the event in the rain using their umbrellas for protection. Results below.

I just returned from Joplin, MO for the Jomopro contest. I ended up getting 5th place and was super stoked to be apart of the event. My boy and Red Bull teammate Matthias Dandois won the contest with a crazy new trick. 180 whooper to pegwheelie! Congrats again homie! Above is a photo of me fist pumping after a crazy combo. I get so stoked in comps! haha..

After the Jomopro contest I headed to Chicago to do some gorilla style demos for the Cubs game. Red Bull hooked me up with this crazy Cubs jersey to wear while I rode. The Cubs Fans were stoked for sure. I had a blast pedaling through the streets.

After a full day of demos I ending up filming an epic web edit with my boy Buck that will hit the internet very soon. We filmed it in a very nice location and the video is going to be sick. I can’t wait to drop this edit.

Next stop.. Athens, GA for the twilight contest.
