Volume Bikes & Friends at the Wreck Jam

February 17, 2013

I thought I spotted Mike Mastroni filming in the background of the other edit from this. Check out more footage of what went down at the Wreck Jam last weekend with the Volume Bikes crew and a bunch of the locals. Definitely a ton of good riding went down. Get to it!

“Last week an injured Alex Raban dressed up in his Sunday best (a gold Dodge Caravan rim medallion) to host the first ever jam at The Wreck DIY spot in Nipomo, CA. Many slices were consumed courtesy of Raban’s Dad’s pizza shop, many Volume prizes were thrown out, and good times were had by all. I love filming at things like this because everything for the most part is super in the moment…sometimes perfect, sometimes real loose, but hey it’s raw BMX at it’s finest…so I decided to take a similar approach to the editing process as well. Here’s a quick half hour in Final Cut featuring Volume heads Victor Glindo, Tate Roskelley, Alex Platt, our good buddy Shawn “Elf” Walters, my dog, & last (and most certainly least) a hot ass channel 12 news reporter, all doing their thang up in the central coast. Enjoy.

“In a far land distant from large city’s lays a town which some may consider desolate.
We feed in our concrete wasteland while dodging human rats in our path to scavenge our territories.” – Alex Raban

Alex Raban on Volume Pro

September 24, 2012

I figured Alex Raban wouldn’t be on Volume flow for very long. Looks like he’s already been bumped up to the pro team which is well deserved!

“This one is a no brainer. Alex’s passion, creativity, and outstanding barspinning abilities have found a home with us here at Volume…and needless to say we couldn’t be more psyched. Welcome to the pro team buddy, you deserve it!”
