Where was I?

Impressive Street BMX from Stefan Lantschner

It's been awhile since I posted a BMX video but that's mostly because it's been awhile since I saw one that impressed me. This video from the Carhartt BMX team definitely falls under the impressive category. There are more unique style tricks in this video than there are in most videos these days. Stefan definitely has style. Enjoy!

1st Annual Texas Toast Jam from Odyssey BMX in Austin

I had planned on going to this but a job interview for a dream job kept me from making it. Odyssey obviously knows what's good for BMX. After watching this video, I wished I had figured out a way to go anyways. It looks like a great time was had by all. Enjoy!

Hidden Clothing - May Fun Edit

If you've been following my blog for awhile now then you've heard of Hidden Clothing video edits. If you've seen any of them in the past year or two then you know that the filming is really good and the riding is amazing. This recent edit from the Spring of 2011 is no exception. Check it out and enjoy a north Texas clothing company doing their thing to show support for the BMX scene.

365 Days Round 2 - Day 083

This photo resulted in my one and only slam at the Mat Hoffman Action Sports Park in Oklahoma City, OK. It wasn't a bad fall but I did manage to bruise my palm. As always, my little buddy was there to cheer me on. All in all I had a great time riding and can't wait to come back and ride it again real soon.

365 Days Round 2 - Day 082

One of the best things about my little buddy is always having a cheering squad when riding my bike. Today I decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and throw down a grindbox session in my driveway. My little buddy was there to keep me motivated.

Proper Texas BMX Video

It's great to see some of your local parks being absolutely destroyed by BMX shredders in a video so if you're a north Texas rider then you've got to watch this video of a Proper Bike Co. trip around Texas. Thanks to Props TV. Enjoy!

Deven Ferrer Lewisville Park Sesh

Deven is a north Texas local that absolutely shreds on a BMX bike. As you may remember, I interviewed Deven Ferrer awhile back (which you can read HERE.) Last night he went to ride the Lewisville Skatepark and Tazz (Juke the Earth) filmed a quick edit. Enjoy!

Fit Trippin 3 TX/AZ Trip

Not only does this edit from Fit Bike Co. remind me of all the great places to ride in Texas and Arizona but it also shows me that when I travel I need to do more exploring to find new places to ride. Enjoy this edit and then go ride your bike.

365 Days Round 2 - Day 046

A couple of weeks ago I was riding the Lewisville Skatepark with a few friends when I nearly died on an icepick grind. I clipped my peg on the way up and managed to knock my wheel out of whack. I didn't realize it at the time but I noticed my wheel was making a slight cricking noise. I ignored it for a couple of weeks but I finally figured out that I managed to break 3 spokes that night. Today my little buddy and I went up to the Bicycle Path to use their truing stand to replace the spokes & now it's time to get my shred on.

25 Years Later: A RADrospective

The 1986 BMX film "RAD" was (and still is) one of my most favorite movies EVER. I remember watching that movie 6 times the weekend we rented it from Blockbuster. I loved that movie and I'm sure it played a huge part in my love for the sport of BMX that I still participate in some 25 years later. That is why I am excited to share the news that documentary film is being released about the making of the movie. I can't wait to see it. Check out the trailer.

Spotted on The Come Up

Mutiny Bikes Dallas/Fort Worth Trip Edit

If you've never seen a Joe Simon film (which is unlikely if you've seen my blog before) then you're unaware of the skills he has behind the lens & with editing. Joe has made the majority of my favorite BMX films (not to mention some amazing wedding films) of all time. Recently, some of the Mutiny Bikes team riders took a 4 day trip around Fort Worth, Dallas & my hometown of Denton, TX. As usual, Joe produced the following film that makes BMX look as artistic as it truly can be. Enjoy this edit and then check out Joe's VIMEO profile for more of his work.

365 Days Round 2 - Day 035

Today is my day off while traveling, and since I'm in Phoenix there's nothing else I'd rather do then hit up some skateparks. As usual, my little buddy came along to watch. This photo was taken at Espee Bikepark in Chandler, AZ.

Hidden Clothing Travels IV

North Texas based clothing company Hidden Clothing just released their latest edit from their Travels series and it doesn't fail to entertain. I've ridden with most of the guys on the Hidden Clothing team and can honestly say they are good group of riders. Enjoy!

365 Days Round 2 - Day 033

BMX is truly good for my soul. Yesterday I started my next 2 week work trip and while I was bummed & feeling depressed about being away from home, I was at least stoked to get to ride one of my favorite bikeparks in the country. Tonight I took my little buddy with me for the maiden session on my new frame. It still surprises me how much a good session can help me realize life ain't so bad.

Ride At Your Own Risk

Thanks to a Facebook post I found this documentary film made by Mike Novelli that shows some of the troubles faced by Illinois BMXers riding in city funded skateparks. It's about 25 minutes long but it is definitely worth watching. Fortunately we don't have that problem here in North Texas but then again we also don't have that many parks here either. Anyways, check it out & then go ride your bike. Anywhere you can get away with it.

365 Days Round 2 - Day 018

Today it was warm enough in Albuquerque to go ride one of my favorite skateparks and my little buddy kept me company on the bleachers between runs. It's nice having a friend with me when I'm traveling.

I took a few photos during my session today & this is a multiplicity shot I photoshopped of a 360 out of the bowl at Los Altos.

Baldock Doubles Edit

I know that doubles BMX runs are a not always considered the coolest things, but seeing 2 guys who are so insync & dialed to be able to pull together this edit is really amazing. Totally worth watching. Enjoy!

365 Days Round 2 - Day 009

Today I took my nephew to the skatepark in Irving and I managed to get a flat. My little buddy makes a great assistant while working on my bike. With him on my pit crew we got the flat fixed in no time. Good session today.

365 Days Round 2 - Day 007

My little buddy loves going to the skatepark to watch me ride. This morning he tried to help me measure how high I was airing out but he came up a little short. We had a fun little session at Lewisville Skatepark.
