Randy may no longer be with us, but we are fortunate enough to have a fantastic video archive of his riding and of his personality. Even his seven-year-old frame geometry is easlily up to modern standards. Now having the benefit of years of perspective on his riding, it’s easy to see how talented and forward-thinking he really was. The phrase “ahead of his time” gets thrown around a lot, but I can’t think of a more shining example than Randy. Randy always did his own thing, be it in life or on his bike. Between his unstoppable energy, his carefree goofiness, and his unmatched talent for finding trouble, there was truly never a dull moment. No one could accuse him of taking anything too seriously, yet he excelled at everything he did – most notably riding bikes, making friends, and entertaining those around him. Randy was a natural, there’s no question about it. One of the most fun dudes to be around ever, and one of the most gifted bike riders I’ve ever met. Randy was a goodhearted, charismatic, creative, incredible person. We have posted up photos and full specs that you can check out after the jump. To go along with this video, Mutiny have re-released Randy’s signature Loosefer frame with full proceeds going to a Suicide Awareness Charity. It still seems unreal that he’s not with us anymore. Randy was one of a kind… An amazing rider and an amazing person that you couldn’t help but love. Do you accept these cookies and the processing of select personal data?

How do you write an accurate story about a town you grew up in, about a bunch of guys who haven’t ever been to that particular city before, to portray their experience first hand? Well, it seems as my observations would be somewhat biased, so I thought to properly convey the whirlpool of an experience such as this Mutiny Trip in Albuquerque, I would look through the eyes of some of those who the trip impacted the most, the riders… Justin Simpson, Andy Martinez, Jeff Wescott, Mariano Santiago and Grant Castelluzzo. series, 'Breaking Bad', on any given street corner all over the city there is an abundance of homelessness, drug addicts and crazed individuals such as a certain motel owner trying to pick a fight with Navaz for being a simple 'tourist'. Never the less, it's all about personal experience, right? Well for this specific trip, the Mutiny team came through town for 10 days and definitely found out first hand what this place is all about! Dealing with the spring weather of wind and rain during the month of April, Mutiny found themselves in a classic episode of the critically acclaimed T.V. Take Albuquerque for instance, it is a city full of rumors, which doesn't necessarily positively reinforce the good name of the most largely populated city in New Mexico. Learning the area first hand and keeping in mind rumors you may or may not believe, to possibly get a sense of what to expect from this unknown terrain… Next thing you know, your right in the middle of some antics, which confirm or deny what you were thinking. When you're visiting a new city to ride, it seems as though without even trying the city will shine down it’s true colors in no time.
