Logan Pallian – Lost Footage

March 22, 2016

It always blows our mind how amazing footage can just go unseen for years, or forever. This morning, we got a look at a video Logan Pallian sent through featuring footage he sat on for three years after he tore his ACL because not being able to ride made it hard to look at it. Finally, he decided to put it together and ended up with this excellent video filled with street, skatepark and backyard ramp footage that’s packed full of style and a good mix of tricks. Had he not told us this was filmed 3 years ago, we probably wouldn’t have noticed. Great stuff! Check it!

“THANK YOU CURTIS HARTSHORN AND KYLE BOULEY FOR POINT CAMERAS AT ME

I tore my ACL in 2013, I had been riding everyday and having the most fun I’ve ever had on my bike in the months leading up to that injury. I had been filming this edit, and I ended up blowing out all the ligaments in my knee and couldn’t finish it. I was too bummed to go ahead and finish the edit because it made me miss riding so much. Shortly afterwards my laptop died. 3 years later im back riding and decided its time. I ripped the old laptop apart and converted the hard drive into an external hard drive so I could make this edit finally happen.

Thank you to Fit for helping me out while I could still ride.
Huge thanks to Eastern Boarder for all their help over the years. Shop Local folks.

Sean Fontenot Handles the Police

March 21, 2016

When it comes to cops and BMX, it’s not all too often that the two groups see eye to eye on things. Not to say there aren’t times when cops end up being real cool about things, but this isn’t exactly one of those cases. Sean Fontenot posted up this video where he has a confrontation with a cop who was telling him where they were trying to ride their bikes was against the law. It turns out that Sean happens to know the laws specifically for that area (to the the point where he can cite exact codes) and decides to inform this particular officer that he was wrong.

There’s different ways to confront a situation like this, and most usually don’t end so well since 9 times out of 10, you don’t have enough to prove the cop(s) wrong. This is proof that it’s important to know your rights and the laws and have the ability to present that properly versus just making things up, swearing and causing a scene that will cause things to head south real fast.

“Lieutenant Cobel, officer of the long beach police department in california tries to assert his authority in the wrong place in the wrong way.

He handled it pretty well, and definitely better than most cops that have had the unfortunate situation of trying to step on my rights. You got to love the “Did you get your law degree on facebook?” bullshit line that ALL cops try to pull on you.

As IF its wrong to know your rights. This kind of attitude should be eliminated from the police department and you have to call them out on their bullshit like it is.”
