Forumph Bar Edit!

The Forumph Bar is our tallest bar and is used by team riders Jim Cielencki, Jake Seeley and Lee Dennis.  Here is a little edit of us putting the Forumph bar to the test.  I swear everyone around here has been converted to the 4 degrees of upsweep.  Check out the dimensions after the break.

Lee Dennis edit!

Just wanted to re-post this!  All I really have to say is the Lee Dennis kills it!  Check out the mini edit filmed and edited by Charlie Crumlish!

Alex Magallan VIDEO!

Alex Magallan’s prowess on a bike is indescribable. He has tech moves up his sleeves and burliness when he rips them off. When filming ended for the Up Up and Away video, it was no surprise that he had plenty of scrap footage left available. He had the ending clip in the first scrap edit and now here’s the rest.

Up Up and Away scraps:
Mike Taylor

If you happened to read Joe Cox’s A to Z of Filming, you’d know that Mike Taylor is a machine when it comes to cranking out video parts. For Mike’s Up Up and Away section, there were a lot of clips left on the cutting room floor and rather than let them go to waste, we decided to provide you with a scrap edit. Most of these clips are made possible by Joe Cox, Dan Cox, Bill Bottriell, Mike Naylor and Tommy. Thanks guys!

To get your hands on a copy of the Up Up and Away DVD, get in contact with your local bike shops or mail-orders. We should have them ready to ship out sometime within the next 3 weeks!

UPDATE: So the Ride UK site tells us those two ladies at the end were saying Bobby Dazzler… which makes way more sense than what we originally thought.

Up Up and Away:
Scrap Footage!

Up Up and Away premieres are happening all over the place this weekend! There’s a good chance you’ll be able to find one near you! In the mean time, here’s a little edit of some scrap footage that didn’t make it into the DVD!

Ian Schwartz discusses Up Up and Away!

Ian Schwartz is one of the more unique riders in BMX today.  And I’m sure after you see his video part in the upcoming Sunday video Up, Up and Away, you’ll agree with me.  As a teaser I did a simple interview where he discusses the trials and tribulations of traveling, filming and making his upcoming section, this is the first of a two part interview.  Look for interviews with the rest of the team along with other random tid bits over the course of the next few weeks.

Up Up and Away!!!!!!!!!!

Well here it is!  This the trailer for our first video entitled Up, Up and Away! Filmed and edited by Chad Shackelford with filming help from Bill Bottriell.  The video will feature riding by Aaron Ross, Ian Schwartz, Kurt Rasmusson, Alex Magallan, Mike Taylor, Jake Seeley, Joe Cox, Lee Dennis, Eric Lichtenberger, Jim Cielencki and Stephen Savage.   Look for it in stores by the end of April!

Ian Schwartz mini-edit!

Here’s an Ian Schwartz edit that ends up being a mini teaser for his double part section in the upcoming Sunday video entitled Up, Up and Away.  This was shot two weeks ago while dodging rain storms and snowflakes in Southern California.  Ian is currently waiting out the weather back in Ohio, but he’s learning about farming techniques from his family who has been in the business for 50 years.  Watch the video and download to your IPhone!

Jim Cielencki Parts Section!

Ok, so you don’t know what had to be done to resurrect this video from the grave.  Nowadays it seems like a video is dead when it can’t be found online.  Just cause there’s a hard copy floating around somewhere, doesn’t mean its easily accessible.  To get this part it took lots of emails, phone calls, getting a VCR and waiting for a camera from the UK.  Either way this is my first real video part from Ride BMX‘s 2001 video release entitled Parts.  My part was almost entirely filmed by Jeff Zielinski and the video was edited by Glenn PP Milligan.  Hope you enjoy it!
