Ride BMX, March 09 Issue
Here is our first Up, Up and Away ad of myself in Guadalajara Mexico from last summer. The setup is weird and to get in this positon is very precarious, but you’ll just have to wait for the video to drop in April.
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!
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!
Craig Passero just sent over this quick little edit for Long Island Bikes(LIB). It’s pretty awesome for a quick little edit as he described it. There’s also a picture of him getting use to his new Sunday rather easily over on the Timeless site. Just scroll down and look for the Blue Second Wave. Craig’s killin’ it!
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!
Here’s an interesting insight into Sunday team rider Karl Poynter, I bet you didn’t know he is a “killer”? Watch the video above to find out who he “kills” and go over to ESPN‘s site to read more of an interview with him.
Well, its 2009 and I decided to gather up some unused footage from last year. The story behind this is after we did a demo in Guadalajara Mexico, Jake Seeley spent about 10 minutes riding this inadvertent manual pad. Nothing too serious, but he fired off a bunch of tricks real quick and easy. The kids gathered around to watch then Jake almost hit an old man on crutches walking through the crowd. I still don’t know how he actually made it through everyone though. The vibe was great in Mexico, we had a lot of fun and I believe the kids did too! More videos soon!
Here is my part from the first Odyssey video. It was filmed in and around the Atlanta area and my special guest is my former Kink team mate Rob Tibbs. Most of this section was filmed by Rich Hirsch from Lotek with some added footage from Brad ‘Puck’ Byrne. You’ll hear him laugh at the end. There’s too much to write about this, so just enjoy the video.
EXPN has an exclusive Team Schralp video up on their site right here. Look for Sunday team rider Kurt Rasmusson in this video. Dean Dickinson who shot this video is also on a Sunday and has a really good pool article up on the RideBMX site.
Check out Karl Poynter and Shane Weston in this fun video filmed and edited by Chris Mahaffey. Visit Karl’s shop’s site, Hardcore Sportz, to get this video on your IPod.
