Here’s a look at a print ad that Animal was going to run in The Albion featuring Chris Silva, but for one reason or another it slipped through the cracks until now. Either way. Rad photo.
Cool Story, Bro with Rich Forne
Over the last two or so months, Mutiny Bikes have been releasing a series of videos going by the title of “Cool Story, Bro”. These videos that are being produced by the one and only Richard Forne are a unique approach to a sea of web edits that are focused less on the riding, but more on the personalities of the team riders, giving you a look into what runs through their minds.
After watching a couple of these videos, I started wondering what got this series going, what kind of time and work is actually going into making them happen and what the future of the concept holds. I knew the only way to find out more was to track down Rich and get him to fill us in while he waited on one of the many flights he had to take between Israel, the U.K and the U.S. to make these videos happen. Luckily for us, we were able to get ahold of him and he was more than down to give us the answers we were looking for. Let’s see what he had to say!
Behind The Scenes of The Deadline Crew
I’m watching this video that Network A just dropped featuring the Deadline crew and all I can think about is the first line in the description. Did I miss something? Does an intern need to get slapped? What is happening? Somebody fill me in because I couldn’t focus on the video because I spent the whole time Googling this.
Edit: Although this is hands down one of the most butchered descriptions of a video… The riding is awesome. Just watch it and try not to lose your mind over the words.
“After four years in the making, “The Deadline” finally dropped in the Fall of 2012 . If you’re still thirsty for some more action check out these behind the scenes clips from heavy hitters Sean Ricany, Miles Rogoish, Steve Coreau, Dan Lacey, JJ Pamere, Aaron Brenner, Kevin Kiraly, Garrett Reynolds, Tyler Morrow, Shelby Miller and Bruno Hoffman shot by Crooked World. Its sure to hold you over until their next edit.“
Brandon Van Dulken on Colony Pro
Well, would you look at that. Just a few days after his interview we dropped with Brandon, he got the bump up to the Colony pro team. Was that because of us? No… I’m sure this has been in the works for a few weeks by now. Either way, Brandon has earned himself a well deserved spot. Stoked on this.
“Brandon Van Dulken has been repping Colony for us in Canada for a while now. Ever since we first met him in person about a year ago now in the USA, it was apparent that good things would come his way. He is a total ripper & can do anything he wants on a bike. To top it all off, he is a real down to earth guy, which to us means the most. He fits in with the whole team really well & we are very proud to be able to offer him the bump to the pro ranks. Congrats mate !!”

The Best of Kenneth Tencio
While Kenneth Tencio is busy stacking clips for his new edit, he decided to go back over all of his past edits and pull out the best ones for a banger of a video. If you have seen footage of Kenneth before, you know he’s insanely good and this video proves it. Just hit play and try to keep the “holy shits” to a maximum.
“Shovelin” with Shawn Shimkets
Spotted this over on Can You Dig It and got so stoked. Shawn Shimkets did what a ton of us dream to do and that’s tear up the entire backyard to build a dialed set of trails to ride. This video gives you a look at the yard, some riding and the story of how these trails came to be. So good.
“The May 2013 12 Films project covers the story behind Shawn Shimket’s backyard in Escondido, CA. Shawn has taken a childhood dream of having backyard trails & made it a reality with the help of his friends & family.
