Rapture Jam ATX

May 23, 2011

Here’s some footage of a flatland jam that went down to celebrate the “Rapture”. At least everyone had a good time and an excuse to get together for a good session.

The Union – Sunday Session

May 22, 2011

(Make sure you watch it in HD for a little better quality)

I picked up a Canon 60D and I wanted to start figuring out all the settings and what not for filming with it. Wyatt Kreel, Conrad Heppner and myself had a session this morning and I ended up filming a bunch of clips. When I actually had time to ride and get a few clips of myself, the thunderstorm rolled in. Bummer. I’ve been playing with the editing/exporting settings a bit and I think I figured out why this came out blurry/not full quality. Sorry about that. Expect the next one to come out cleaner.

Turn it up to 720p. After I changed up some settings in Premiere Pro, I tossed some of the scrap clips into the timeline and exported them different. A little closer to the quality I was aiming for.

Chase DeHart dropped this new commercial for his site, Hot-Butter.com. These are scraps, but then again his scraps are way better than anything I could produce.

Mike Gray’s got moves. Check out this new one from the Richmond Green skatepark.

Fly Bikes – Sergio Layos Grip Commercial

May 22, 2011

Sergio Layos has a new signature grip from Fly Bikes. They are designed like their Fino grips with 355mm length that allows you to cut the grip down to a size you want, and have flanges on both ends for those of you who like flanges. The grips come with a 1.5mm high diamond design on the base, and a 0.5mm Sergio logo that is like his signature tire and a 29mm diameter. I’d imagine these will be available everywhere soon.

Impurity Bike Co – Jack McIver

May 22, 2011

I’m not familiar with Jack McIver or Impurity, but maybe it’s time to take notice? Here’s some real good riding from Jack.

Filmed and edited by: Kurt Teague
Filmed: Canon 550D with Canon Kit Lenses (18-55mm and 55-250mm) and Samyang 8mm Fisheye.

Anton Arnarson recently built up a new Mongoose that he got hooked up with by a local shop. After that, he decided it was time to throw down some clips for a new edit. Take a peek.
