Spy Optics – Matt Lough

November 14, 2013

Here’s one we had sent over today featuring Matt Lough putting together some great riding at his local park for Spy Optics grassroots team. Take a peek! Well worth a look!

“Matt Lough has been killing…ever since he was in the womb of his mother! Matt and I literally spent 3-4 hours filming this edit on one of the windiest days I’ve ever shot on at The Aurora, IL Skatepark. Glidecam and wind does not make a good couple. lol Needless to say, we got this short and sweet edit done. Hope you enjoy the soothing sounds of the wind and some signature Queen guitar solo.

Crooked World – Inside the Mind of Cory Nastazio

November 14, 2013

Cory Nastazio tries to balance the desire to progress with the reality of his age and responsibilities, and sometimes it just doesn’t work out. To try to get sorted out, he took a trip to Mind Studio in Carlsbad, California and got hooked up to some high tech computers to see what was going on up there. At the end of the day, it seems like a good old fahsioned pep talk from former AA-pro racer Dr. Jason Richardson did the most good, however.

Merritt – PETE SAWYER GRIPS Promo

November 14, 2013

Pete Sawyer effortlessly navigates everything in his path for his grip promo. These days I have to assume that just about every trick has been done, but I don’t recall seeing the one at 0:27 before. Even if it’s old news, it got me pumped!

Karl Poynter Getting support from Deco

November 14, 2013

Great news from Karl’s Instagram! After parting way with Eastern and Ezra a while back, he is now getting help from Deco. Karl isn’t yet on the official Deco team roster on the website, so we aren’t sure if it’s just a hook up or a full deal. Either way, it’s rad! In more good news, he has a new edit in the works as well.

Red Bull – Riding Shotgun: Chase Hawk

November 14, 2013

The 3rd stop of Kriss Kyle’s Riding Shotgun series from Red Bull takes us to Austin, Texas where he meets up with Chase Hawk for a few days of riding and good times. Hit that play button to take a look at what they got into! You know this one is filled with style.

“Kriss and his BMX head stateside for some serious riding and southern style fun and games.
Episode 3 sees Kriss head to the searing heat of Austin, Texas, to spend some time with Chase Hawk, a rider who Kriss says,

has got the best style ever…he makes everything look good.
Given the high temperatures the boys have to break up riding BMX with swimming in lakes, shooting guns and riding in boats. It’s a hard life…

Legendary Austin filmmaker Joe Simon is responsible for the split edit that drops at the end of the episode, “I’ve seen some of Kriss’s videos and they’re pretty amazing…I’m pretty psyched to be able to shoot with him.”

The fourth and final instalment of ‘Riding Shotgun’, out on the 21st November, sees Kriss return home to Scotland, along with a couple of the best riders in the world.“
