Tall Order – Behind The Curtains of the X Games

June 13, 2016

Just when you thought you saw all the X Games coverage, Bas Keep drops a new webisode on the Tall Order Youtube channel giving you a look at what he got into during his time in Austin, Texas where he was set to commentate for a few of the BMX events. This video takes you behind the scenes, giving you a look at some of the production side of things and a bunch of the riders and people he bumped into along the way!

“In this video – I was stoked and really nervous to get invited to X Games Austin to work on commentary and hosting for BMX park and street. I took the camera behind the scenes in the TV rooms and around the Xgames site . I was busy working but when i finally got the camera out I ended up capturing the Xgames vert battle going on between Jamie Bestwick and Vince Byron with reactions from both of them straight after the contest.

This was my first trip to America since starting ‘tall order”, it was a good chance to give some t-shirts out to friends and also chat to lots of people in the industry about starting my company.”
