Odyssey BMX – Broc Raiford Passageways Video

March 24, 2017

The other day Odyssey dropped a teaser video for Broc Raiford‘s new Passageways video that he has been working with Mike Mastroni on. Since that dropped, we have been anticipating the heat this one was going to bring. The BMX video just dropped and sure enough, Broc has come through with some heavy hammers from the streets of Long Beach that will get you stoked and get your weekend started off right! Get on that play button because this is a Must See video! Amazing riding, great spots and some dialed film work.

“Earlier this year I brainstormed with the guys over at Odyssey about video project ideas for 2017. We agreed on doing a concept-based video to switch things up from the traditional web edit style. Mike Mastroni was brought into the picture as our filmer and to help us make a decision on what the most interesting concept would be. Ultimately, we chose to do a video composed entirely of riding spots we could find in Long Beach alleyways. Mastroni and I live smack dab in the middle of a plethora of alley spots, so we got to work quick and filmed for about 2 weeks.

I can speak for us both when I say that we had a blast filming for this video and I hope you all enjoy what we created! Special thanks to Mike Mastroni and Nuno Oliveira for making this all possible!” – Broc Raiford
