He hasn't been in the biking scene for a while...
He still hurt?

...I heard there was something about him in Decline Magazine

kinda hard to get info about him on Google too




just curious about his plans...

Don't count Bender out till you see the box goin' into the hole. I haven't talked to him in a month or two, but I'd bet he's still ridin' hard and doin' his thing. I have'nt met many guys who are more dedicated to riding and promoting the sport than Josh is. He is working with Ellsworth at the moment but I don't know about 505. He's not done yet...

Josh was at Sea Otter.
He got that picture on the cover of Decline in Santa Fe a few months ago in December. He actually found that wall ride and ate it a few times before getting that shot. It is true that he is looking for a spot to drop 100'. He's out there being Bender. If you know him, you know what I mean. ;)

ever seen the vid of him on you tube trying to flip and land on his wheels, he goes down hard many times before he eventually makes it, i dont know the man and never will but i really found myself wanting him to make it, he broke his back and returned just as strong, hes got guts, and he seems like a nice guy, go Bender!!!

Um, he's been in the scene for quite a while. Still riding hard, still shredding. He's been doing alot with the 505 guys, I hear there rumors of a 100 footer goin down this summer?
It isn't the same 100 foot drop as he was planning back in '05...is it?

Not to take away from him, he is a talented rider, and a pioneer of the sport, but this 100' drop nonsense has been going on for some time now.
