Inside Look At Filming A Video Part

August 26, 2020

Here’s one for the riders into filming and editing. Ryan Fudger put together an in-depth video giving us a look at what goes into filming a video part for a project like FISE’s online video contest he did with Demarcus Paul. This gives you a look at the filming equipment he used, the editing software, the behind the scenes footage and more. This is real good information for people looking to get into filming or step their game up a bit. Take a look!

Another stab at doing something different, please let me know what you guys think in the comments. Basically, FISE is holding a massive video contest and Demarcus and I put together a part for it. Along the way, I had the idea to do a little behind the scenes video…so here we are.

X Games Real BMX 2020 – Julian Molina Wins Fan Favorite

August 24, 2020

Julian Molina wins the X Games Real BMX 2020 Fan Favorite vote!

Here’s some news were super stoked on and definitely had a feeling we would see after the response the video got. Julian Molina took the Fan Favorite win for X Games Real BMX 2020 with 45.68% of the vote, which was a landslide since Simone Barraco came in 2nd with 17.01% of the vote and Garrett Reynolds with 13.35% of the vote. Check out Julian’s section from the full show where they announced the winners, before the Fan Favorite vote took place. This gives a good behind the scenes look at how much work Julian put into this! Hell yeah, Julian!

“Julian Molina is the first adaptive athlete to compete in the Real Series. At age 7, Julian lost his leg in a skateboarding accident. Then he picked up a BMX bike and started devising new techniques to ride street with just one leg and a crutch to maneuver. We normally don’t feature the behind the scenes segments of all the athletes in the Real Series (it’s in the full episode though) but we thought this cutdown was worth it because Julian is a straight up badass! Julian also just won the #RealBMX Fan Favorite: X Games Real BMX 2020” – X Games
