Aaron Nardi Demo Reel

July 30, 2012

If you have been around BMX long enough, you have probably seen some of Aaron’s work online or in different videos. He’s definitely one of those guys who started out in BMX and worked his way to where he is today. Above is his demo reel featuring footage from different projects he has worked on the past year. Definitely stoked on this. I never thought I’d see an edit with Manny Pacquiao and Kevin Porter in it…. Check it!

“The past year or so of my work/life in about 4mins. This reel includes work for ESPN, Jim Beam, Effen Vodka, Pucker Vodka, Hennessy, Nexon, EVS Sports, Quintin, Crooks & Castles, The Beer Market, No Days Off, and a few random clients. I’m grateful to spend my time working with good friends on projects I like. Thanks to all the good collaborations with Glenn PP Milligan, Steve Burton, Huy Doan, Shannon Slack, Blake Regal, Luis Reyes, Doug Metzel.”

Product: United – Beacon V2 Frame

July 30, 2012

The second version of Corey Martinez’s signature Beacon frame from United is out now. Here’s what they had to say about the changes they’ve made to the frame this time around.

“We have made a couple of changes to Corey’s signature frame, and dubbed it the Beacon v2. What with the evolution and constant progression of Corey’s riding, parts that he puts his name to have to do the same. The Beacon v2 features a couple of changes from the original, as well as new graphics the most notable change is the removal of the built in pivotal seat post back to a more traditional seat tube. The v2 still features the same tube set, higher stand over height, elevated stays that help with grind clearance (especially luc-e grinds) and tiny dropouts that still work with pegs and a United hubguard when run slammed. Cosmetic touches such as engraved lines in headtube & bb, name stamped gussets finish the frame off. Shine like a Beacon.”

The World of Tumblr in BMX

July 30, 2012

The other week I got an interesting email from Kristopher Humphries that caught my attention. Kris had asked if I ever followed any of the Tumblr BMX sites that are out there. I’ll be honest and say that between all the videos, emails, Tweets, Facebook messages, RSS feeds and everything I get into every day, I haven’t paid all that close of attention to this other outlet of the social network that is a lot bigger than I imagined. Kris and I talked about it and decided it would be rad to put together a list of some of the best Tumblr sites out there producing BMX content these days. So if you are into the Tumblr scene or have no idea what it’s all about, this is your chance to take a look. Let’s do this!
