Jamie Thayer – “#THEWAYOUT” Section

August 19, 2019

A little while back we got a look at the full “THEWAYOUT” Full Video that turned out really good. Today, Jamie Thayer‘s banger of a section was re-uploaded because it’s 10 minutes of pure goodness that you won’t want to miss. Hit play and take it all in because Jamie put a lot of work into making this part, and he put his deep bag of tricks to good use on everything he came across from street spots and ramps to rooftops and more!

“Well, this is what four years of dedication looks like! Jamie Thayer went waaaay way in for his first ever section and ending part from #thewayout video. Not a lot of people can say their first part was this hectic! He filmed so much crazy shit for this two-song masterpiece, shot throughout the Midwest. Roof clips, huge rails, massive whip gaps – this has it all. Incredible stuff.

The Gang Bang Bikes crew over in Germany hit us with a link to their latest edit for you to check out. The STFN Tape is a batch of clips they stacked during some riding time at their local park.

Cult – Brandon Begin Welcome Video

August 16, 2019

Here’s some news we’re sure a few of you saw coming. Brandon Begin is now doing it for Cult after announcing that he had parted ways with Fit Bike Co. last week. When the news dropped that he parted ways with Fit, we were trying to figure out what it would take to get Brandon to leave Fit, and apparently Cult had an opportunity worth taking. We didn’t expect this one in all honesty, but it looks like Brandon is already crushing it on his new setup. Check out this video welcoming him to the team loaded up with some real good riding. This is pretty short and sweet, but we would imagine we’ll be seeing Brandon getting in on the constant moves Cult is making in the future.

Mike Mastroni “Headlights” Section

August 16, 2019

Any time you see Mike Mastroni‘s name pop up, you know you’re in for a treat. Either it’s a super dialed BMX video he filmed and edited, or it’s a riding video that is packed with creative, unique and original riding. Today we get both because he handled the filming and editing for “Headlights” as well as produced this amazing section that has so many crazy spots and unique clips. Hit play because this is too good to miss!

“Mike Mastroni pulled quadruple duty for Headlights as filmer, editor, producer, and rider. Mike (and his dog Bear) traveled the country in his Sprinter Van filming the entire crew, and every so often, he’d come across a setup that fit his unique style and get on the other side of the camera…” – Our BMX

Stew Johnson – Palaver Podcast

August 16, 2019

Here’s one we’ve been looking forward to since Chris Doyle let it out that he was working on an interview with Stew Johnson for the Palaver Podcast. Today is the day that the interview dropped where it turned into over 2 hours of amazing stories and conversations covering Stew’s history in the industry and his film work, along with a lot of other things he gets into like making the “Real BMX” videos happen for the X Games. Stew isn’t a guy who likes to get in front of the camera much, but he did a great job with this. Hit play and take it all in!

“For this interview, I sit down with legendary BMX video maker, Stew Johnson. Stew is responsible for some to the most influential BMX videos of all time and has a career that has spanned nearly 25 years. On a personal level, Stew’s videos had a direct impact on my riding, the way I dressed, and the music that I listened to. I think the same could be said by countless riders from my generation. Stew still continues to push BMX in a positive direction through video; he produces X Games “Real BMX” on ESPN; a show that highlights street riders and filmers and shows what goes into filming a street video part. Watch/listen and find out more!” – Chris Doyle
