Through The Lens: How To Create Seamless Sequences In Photoshop
This is something that every BMX photographer should know how to do. With riding getting more and more tech/combo based on the daily knowing how to create a seamless sequence is incredibly beneficial to anyone behind the lens. All you need is a DSLR that can shoot sequences, a tripod and Photoshop. The cool thing about shooting seamless sequences is that you can really show a trick in a different way as opposed to with a still shot. Sometimes a single shot just doesn’t do the trick justice. That was the case with this photo of Kevin Kiraly whipping down the famous Wallenberg set. I really wanted to show the length of this whip and after looking at many angles, the side view seamless really stood out to me as the best way to show the entire trick and really try to give it as much credit as it deserves. As a photographer you should always be looking to tell some sort of story with your photos and sometimes a seamless sequence can help do just that. Also, I want to point out that this is the way that I personally put together a seamless sequence and the way that I have found works best for me. Everyone edits a little differently and there are many different ways to get to the same end result. Hopefully this all makes sense and inspires you to get out and shoot as soon as possible to try out these steps for yourself. Let’s get started.

Vans – Kevin Kalkoff Cover Story
Vans put together this video from a photoshoot Kevin Kalkoff did with Vincent Perraud that ended up being the cover of the new Soul. Definitely a unique spot since you can only ride it during low tide.
“Soul Mags recent Kevin Kalkoff interview needed something a little bit special for the cover and Kevin’s long time friend Jhon Petit had something in mind. The spot in St Jean de Luz in the South of France is only ridable during low tide giving photographer Vince Perraud only a couple of hours to get the shot, this film shows you how it was done.”

Product: TSG – VEP Pads
Sure, the chest protector really isn’t what you need unless you are blasting the Mega Ramp, but these new knee and shin pads from TSG look pretty dialed. Here’s a little info on this new VEP line they sent through…
“TSG INTRODUCES VEP
Swiss action sports protection brand TSG uses new visco-elastic material for bike soft protectors
Soft is the new hard; however, just jumping on the bandwagon would have been too easy for TSG. Instead, the Swiss protection gear brand aimed at combining the benefits of soft materials with the ones of hard materials. TSGs brand new VEP line offers a super accurate fit with supreme wearing comfort, outstanding damping capabilities and great flexibility, while providing reliable protection against penetrating objects.
TSG uses the new VEP material for its knee and elbow soft protectors of the current spring 2012 collection. Profiting from the new material technology are the Nose Dive Timo, 2nd Skins, Kneeguard Task, Kneeguard Slim, and Frag Shirt Advanced.
Soft and pre-shaped 3D protection pads adapt to the wearers body features and anatomy through body heat, and they dont slip either. This is achieved through TSGs famous horseshoe shape, which entirely wraps the upper elbows and knees.”
