Doug Horton Checking In

2009-12-26T15:28:00.000-08:00

HS team rider Doug Horton sent in an update of what he's been staying busy with.

I've basically been living in Brooklyn for a little over two months now, interning for a film production company called Offhollywood New York, and it's been going real good. No telling if there will be a job waiting for me, but I'm trying. For money I've just been freelancing a lot including cranking out ESPN edits like crazy, from bike checks, to random "scene edits" and what not.

In the works, just continuing to freelance for ESPN, plans to release an HS edit with the clips I have of me, and hopefully by the spring I'll be freelancing steadily in the film world and making good money and can therefore travel a lot more, and take on more bmx projects that I miss!

Our latest HS team rider Troy Merkle sent in an update about what he's been up to lately. Here's what Troy had to say.

Lately, I've been trying to keep busy. I just wrapped up filming for an upcoming Perspectives BMX video which should be out fairly soon. I also adopted a dog! She is a 3 year old greyhound that was rescued from a dog racing track. We named her Sombra. Other than that I am just trying to survive the Winter and possibly find a way to make it out to California so I can get some quality time in on my bike.
