BMX Interviews

Insight: AOTC 2

May 30, 2011

Back in 2009 when Chris and CB dropped the first AOTC video, they mentioned that they were already starting to film for the next video. Between all the school and work, they finally collected enough footage for their second video. This time around, the crew is similar, but with two more years of shred under their belt. I figured I’d hit up Chris and CB and find out what it took to get this video done, and what you guys out there can expect if you pick up a copy. Let’s see what they had to say…

Quicky: Mike Saavedra

May 29, 2011

Mike recently joined that not so fun knee club that has quite a few members these day. I figured with all of his down time while he’s healing up, I would shoot him over a couple of questions to see what’s new and help him pass the time. Take a look at what he has to say and then leave him some love in the comments! Expect this dude to be shredding harder than ever here soon…

Insight: FBM Bellwitch Frame

May 27, 2011

FBM BMX

If you caught Tom Blyth‘s interview we had on here a few weeks ago, then you would have saw that we talked a little bit about his new signature Bellwitch frame from FBM. I was still real curious about the frame, so I got ahold of Steve Crandall to see if he could give us the low down. Steve was down, so I asked him a whole bunch of questions about the newest frame to their line up and this is what he had to say. I wonder if their new heat-treating process will catch on…

There’s a lot of people out there that think being a team manager is this rad and ideal job in the industry and in all reality, if you were to ask Kink‘s TM Jay Roe, he would admit that it is. However, there’s also a lot of responsibility that comes with the role and Jay is one of the few people who has handled the job like a champ these past few years. I figured it was time to shoot Jay a few questions to find out what his job is all about. Let’s take a look what he had to say…

Over the years, I’ve followed Chris’ work from back a few years ago when he was first doing the SJBMX website all the way up to these days where his work can be found on ESPN. In that time, his film work has improved and developed into some real good work. I figured it was time to get him some questions about himself and his film work. Let’s take a look at this filmer/geologist’s work…

Industry: Ryan Sher

May 19, 2011

Ryan is one of those guys who can shred like a pro, party like a pro and run a brand like a pro. Let’s face it, this is BMX, that’s not really something too many people could handle. At least not to this scale. I don’t remember the first time I saw something about Ryan, but I do remember wanting a Freebird frame and a Trans AM when I was like 14 because both were badass. Since then, I’ve had the chance to get to know Ryan from his interview I did with him way back in 2007 to the times we got to party when we crossed paths at events and what not. Needless to say, he’s a real rad dude on and off the bike. I figured it would be a good time to talk to the business side of Ryan. Let’s take a look into the Subrosa ring leader’s career path…

Dan Coller Interview

Who the hell is Dan Coller? Well, how about Lil’ Dan who rides for Kink? That sounds a little more familiar. Dan is one of those up and comers from that infamous Rochester, New York scene who has almost secretly been riding for Kink since he was about 10 years old. Now days, he’s busy graduating from school early so he can hit the road with the team and focus on riding. Jay Roe and I figured it would be a good time to get to know this kid who you will be hearing more and more about in the near future. Let’s take a look at what he had to say…

Pete Jaques

One of the coolest parts about doing this website for me is getting the chance to find out more about people I’ve never met and what they do. I came across Pete’s name and work when I did an interview with Jerry Vandervalk. Pete had some real good photos of Jerry, and I was impressed with his work. I decided to look into it a little bit more, and then decided I needed to get ahold of this dude and ask him a little bit more about his work after seeing his Flickr. Luckily, Pete was up for it, and now it’s here for you to take a look. Find out a little bit more about this photographer, check out some of his work and then leave him some love in the comments!
