Mykel Larrin Interview

April 24, 2010

I can’t remember the first time I had seen Mykel ride, or when we met even. I do know we hung out for a bit at Baco in Milwaukee, and then he partied with us in Toronto most of the time since there was a good crew from Milwaukee there. That was the first chance I really got to get a better idea of what Mykel was all about. Mykel is definitely a good example of talent, a good attitude, and somebody who loves life. I figured this would be as good of time as ever to shoot him a few questions to see what he has got going on these day, and then leave him some love in the comments!

On a side note, these photos for the interview are photos I shot in Toronto. We took about 5 minutes and he blasted this quarter a bunch of times. These photos ended up being some of my favorites from that whole trip….

It looks like this new Photos: section continues on. This time around we got some photos from up and coming photographer Lukas Satas from Chicago. He sent along 10 photos, and I shot him some questions to get a better idea of where he’s coming from. Check out what he has to say, his photos, and then leave your thoughts in the comments…

Blog: DVD Comeback?

April 21, 2010

BMX DVD

Maybe I’m just caught up in all the talk about how good some of the new videos are that either have dropped or about to, but I’m starting to think this year might be solid for some DVDs. I’m talking more specifically about four videos that have been talked about quite a bit lately. Animal’s new video “Cuts”, Brian Chace’s new video “Refresh”, Bone Deth “Surfin for the Ugly Broads”, and V-Club’s “For the Sake of the Video”…

On the Horizon: Sputnic

April 20, 2010

Sputnic BMX

About a year ago I did an On the Horizon with Sputnic. Since then, a lot has changed. The team has been mixed up, the brand is now managed by Boyd Cornell, and there are a bunch of new products. I’ve been really psyched on the way Boyd has been handling things, and figured I’d see if he could fill us in on what’s going on with Sputnic these days. Check out what he had to say…

On the Horizon: Colony

April 16, 2010

Colony

I don’t know why, but whenever I hear somebody talking about Australia, I usually end up thinking Colony right away. Maybe it’s just because it’s a solid brand from there, or because I really don’t know a whole lot about the place. Regardless, I do know that I’ve been curious about the workings behind the business for a while. I got a chance to shoot Clint Millar some questions about Colony to find out a little bit about what makes the brand tick these days. Give a look at what he has to say, some photos and videos, then leave some love in the comments!

Review: Deluxe “Welcome to Deluxe”

April 15, 2010

Deluxe BMX

A few months back I was talking to Mark Noble about what he had going on with Deluxe these days… well, those days. He mentioned that he was having the team get together for a little UK trails tour that they were going to be filming for a DVD. There’s a few reasons I was stoked about that news. The first was that Deluxe was making an all trails edit, and the second was that I’m well aware of how dialed some of the trails are in the U.K.
About a week ago a copy of the DVD showed up in my mail box, and this is what I thought of “Welcome to Deluxe”…

Devon Smillie Interview

April 14, 2010

If you haven’t heard of Devon, there’s a good chance you don’t really ride that much, or you are too busy actually riding. In the last probably two months he has had this explosion of web videos that seemed like he had come out every other day. The talent Devon holds got my attention and I started getting more and more curious what this guy was all about. I figured I’d see if he would be into an interview, and he came through. Check out what Devon has to say and a couple of his web videos and then leave him some love in the comments!

Matt Markese Rail Ride

I’ve been thinking about doing something like this recently, but never really had the time to figure it all out. Basically, what I want to start doing is featuring some photographers who are just getting into it but already shooting pretty solid photos. Think of it like a Shooter on the Dig site, but with guys who are newer to photography and not as established as the guys that get featured on Dig. John O’Connor recently sent over a few of his photos and I figured this would be a good chance to try it out. If you have some photos or know somebody coming up in photography get in contact with me…
