The Revolt BMX Shop team has been killing it all summer, and now they’ve compiled all of their footage into a sweet mix tape.
Ruan Mosca “Getting away from my city” Edit
We could all use a break from the same old same old, right? Ruan Mosca sure felt that way, so he got out of his city and on to some fresh territory. Good thing for us that someone was around to film it, as Ruan took advantage of the new spots and put together a banging video.
Through The Lens: Film Versus Digital
For this week I wanted to do a feature on the film vs. digital debate. The battle began back in 1994 when digital photography was introduced on a consumer level and has been a topic of discussion between photographers for years now. When I started out as a photographer the only thing that I shot was film. It’s been well over a decade and I still shoot film, but in a very personal way. I don’t typically shoot film for my regular workflow but I try to mix it up when I have the chance to, especially while I am traveling in a new place. It’s all a personal choice and you like what you like but it is nice to know that film is here to stay for the long haul. There are too many people that enjoy film photography too much to get rid of it. The die-hards will do whatever it takes to keep the medium alive and I want to help contribute to that movement. I decided to breakdown a few things and speak my mind for a bit on the topic so, enjoy. This is one of those columns topics that I can’t believe I haven’t written about yet after all of this time and what better time to start than now?
A Story About KHE Bikes
David Zu Elfe just sent through this excellent documentary he put together about KHE Bikes featuring the companies owner, Tomas Goring, talking about how it all started and looking at the innovative products they have released over the years from the first freecoaster wheels they ddi up through completes, tires, and the new Affix system. This is a great history lesson and well worth a watch.
“1988, we started KHEbikes as a small company to build parts the companies didn’t make, to improve our riding on our own.
2013, KHEbikes has led awesome revolutions, but we never lost the basic intention: Progression.
Starring Thomas Göring as narrator, we bring you into our world. The world of KHEbikes.”
BSD X Nightrider – Lior Moshkovich Edit
Lior Moshkovich is BSD‘s newest connect over in Israel! Check out this video of him killing it on a bunch of street spots over there. His riding has a very Chase DeHart feel to it which is awesome. Well worth the watch!
“Earlier this year we went to Israel to film this edit, on the trip we got to hang out with some of the coolest riders we’ve met, they welcomed us into their scene and showed us around their spots. Lior Moshkovich was one of the guys, after seeing him ride we asked him to join BSD, here’s his welcome edit…
