Few people in the game have a NORA Cup on their mantelpiece at home stating that yes indeed, they made the best video of the time. Stew Johnson has such a trophy, and for good reason – Anthem2 was long awaited and hotly anticipated, and the hype built and built all through the filming and production process. The resulting video definitely not only lived up to but far exceeded the hype. And the just rewards came – it sold well (bearing in mind the age we live in and how people consume videos these days), the riders involved enjoyed truly landmark video parts, and then it was unquestionably awarded a NORA Cup. Anthem2 is timeless, an instant classic, and if you don’t own a copy of it in your video collection then you need to examine your status in life. Having spent the best part of 18 years working on BMX videos, Stew now juggles various projects for brands and companies – “I’m currently working on full length DVDs for Dan’s Comp and Fit Bike Co.” – and is going from strength to strength: we caught up with him just after a Dans Comp trip and here are his FIRSTS.
Here’s the latest from the Anthem Crew getting down at the Anthem skatepark. It’s pretty crazy to think this was all filmed on the dudes iPhone because if they didn’t say anything, I doubt many of us would have actually noticed. Either way, check it!
“Once again I find myself filming, editing, and making another little edit using only my iPhone. Always tired of waiting for others with “better cameras” to get off their busy/lazy asses and film. I have fun and I know my friends do too… Ride bikes. Enjoy. Support your local bike shop.>”
The long awaiting Chris Doyle X Anthem pivotal seat from Demolition is FINALLY here. This slim design with just enough padding to keep things soft enough and comes in black with the white Anthem logo and “Doyle” below it and a weight of 10.1 oz. The seat is available now, so hit your local shop and have them hit up 180 Distribution and get you one ordered up. This is on my “Want” list.
Word on the street is that Clint Reynolds’ brand, Credence, is now apart of S&M. To go with the news, they figured dropping Clint’s Anthem II Declassified section was perfect. I’m so stoked to see Clint having all these good things come for him. Well deserved.
“ Clint Reynolds is known for hand crafting high-quality bikes for himself and his Mod Squad, which is why having him in Santa Ana laying beads on S&M/Credence frames for James P. Nutter, Matty Aquizap and himself right before taking off on their Maiden S&M/Credence veggie-voyage was so rad! Stew even finished up this Anthem II Declassified section to celebrate the momentous occasion. “Bienvenidos a la Familia amigos!””
The Albion got this weeks Anthem II Declassified video and damn is it a stacked video. Check out footage from Brian Hunt, Ryan Wert, Sandy Carson, Ben Hittle, Gary Young, Tony Cardona, Mat Hoffman, Chester Blacksmith, John Ivers, Kyle Hart, Joey Garcia, Zak Earley, Garrett Guilliams, Matt Roe, Lil’ Jon, Shad Johnson, Dean Dickinson, Mark Choquette, Seth Holton, Vic Murphy, Chris Crawford, Derrick Girard, Mike Corts, Hoang Tran, Kert Petersel, Tate Roskelley, Cam Wood and Dave Thompson.. Right now. You know you will enjoy it.
The Least Most got the premier of Geoff Slattery’s section from the Anthem II Declassified edits that have been popping up today. Words can’t describe how damn good Geoff is and I’m just going to tell you to hit play right now, because these unseen clips from the Anthem II video are more than a MUST SEE!
“It doesn’t sound like much of a compliment to say that the only part I fast-forward through in Anthem II is the beginning of Geoff Slattery’s section. The Ramada Death Gap attempt broke bones, induced cringes and settled any rumors about that gap in Austin, Texas. Watching that once or twice at regular speed was enough for me. The remainder of Geoff’s Anthem II section is amazing. Fast, wild, and smooth all at the same time.
Stew Johnson was awesome enough to let us host this Anthem Declassified edit he put together of Geoff. What you’re about to see is a legitimate full-length section comprised of clips that didn’t make the Anthem II final cut. Crazy.” – Jason Morris / The Least Most
Mutiny dropped this fresh Anthem II Declassified this morning featuring Tom “Robbo” Robinson’s leftover clips from the Anthem II video! Trails GOODNESS. HIT PLAY!
