Check Out Sandy Carson’s “We Were There” Photobook

March 3, 2017

It’s always awesome seeing what riders are getting into “after BMX” so to speak. Sandy Carson is still shooting photos, but has put a lot of his time and effort into the music world around Austin, Texas. Sandy has been super busy working on a new photobook and 7 inch Record from the Black Angels and The Sword and is doing a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds to make it happen! The book features a ton of amazing photos that documents the crowds at hundreds of shows and festivals and it looks like it turned out awesome. If you’re into music, this is definitely one you will want to check out. To make things even better, there’s also a ton of perks from Fairdale, Vans and more! You can get the full scoop on the book, all the crazy perks for supporting the project and more RIGHT HERE!

“To support and pre-order book, go here- igg.me/at/WeWereThere

WE WERE THERE is a hardcover book dedicated to concert fandom, shot over a decade in Austin, Texas 2007-2017. This project explores the symbiotic relationship between rock concert fans, the bands, and myself, the photographer at music festivals. It is also a self-portrait of a music fan, musician, and photographer, who has been on both sides of the stage, barrier, and photo pit. Without the band there are no fans; without the fans, there is no band. One just cannot exist without the other!
Book comes with a 7-inch flexi disk vinyl featuring the Black Angels and The Sword. Coming fall 2017 on Daylight Books.”

Feeble Talk – Chad Kerley

March 3, 2017

This is rad! Ride BMX are starting a new series called “Feeble Talk” where they sit down with Pros to talk about what they have going on. This first one features Chad Kerley where he talks about filming for “Real BMX”, his first edit from when he was completely unheard of and goes from there. This is almost an hour long, so you’ll have to have a bit of time to dedicate to this one, but it’s an interesting watch for sure! Zach Krejmas‘ mustache is looking amazing.

“Welcome to the premiere episode of our new talk show/podcast/studio interview weekly segment “Feeble Talk”.

To kick things off we brought in San Diego area legend Chad Kerley to ask him about his life past and present, talk about his influences, take some audience questions, and even give away some signature Haro product if you can answer Chad’s questions correctly..

Next week…. Christian Rigal!” – Ride BMX

Vans – “Illustrated” Jason Watts Section

March 3, 2017

If you aren’t already a huge fan of Jason Watts, then his section from the Vans “Illustrated” video should do the trick! Jason is an absolute shredder on everything you put in front of him, bringing a TON of style, creative and original tricks and more to everything he touches (We’re loving the number of X-Ups in this). This section is a super good indicator of that because he lays down some ridiculous tricks that you don’t see too many other riders doing! Plus, Jason knows how to go fast and big, which is always a good thing in a world of nibbler jibbler ledge edits. Hit play because this is an absolute MUST SEE!

We just can’t figure out how the hell he does those Nac-Nac Nose Manuals so well!

“Jason Watts brings new meaning to style with his first full-part for Vans BMX by riding everything from bowls to street to trails and drains – you’ve never seen some of these moves before. From San Diego to LA, Las Vegas and Australia – Jason’s style bleeds through on anything you put in front of him with only a bag of candy and soda to keep his fire burning.”
