Blacksmith, Jackson and Ruiz off Wethepeople Pro Team

January 26, 2015

Here’s some news that might come as a bit of a surprise to some of you! Chester Blacksmith, Andrew Jackson and Raul Ruiz have all stepped down from the Wethepeople Pro team and are now on the Family team. You can get the details below! It’s kind of weird seeing the “older” guys starting to step out of the light to make room for the younger up and comers. Hopefully we’ll still see plenty of all three of these guys for years to come!

“For those who are interested to know, Chester Blacksmith, Andrew Jackson and Raul Ruiz are no longer riding for the PRO team however they are now part of the WTP family section. They still ride WTP parts and frames and we will continue to support them.” – Wethepeople

“Insight” Chester Blacksmith

July 1, 2014

Ride BMX dropped Chester Blacksmith’s wild section from the “Insight” DVD from a few years back online for your viewing pleasure! Hit that play button and enjoy!

“The circumstances for Chester to have a part in the video seemed perfect. Dean Dickinson was living in Southern California and going to college when I was coming up with the lineup for Insight. At the time, part of Dean’s college requirement was to do an internship, so he worked with me on the video for college credit. Dean and Chester were good friends and Chester ended up coming down to California to ride with Dean. Prior to this I hadn’t met Chester but I was familiar with his riding. After seeing a few clips they had filmed on Chet’s trip to Cali, I suggested he have a part in the video and Dean would handle the majority of the filming.

Unfortunately, while filming with Dean in Portland, Chester crashed and suffered a compound fracture in his leg. To this day, I’ve only watched the leg break footage a handful of times because it’s so brutal. Fortunately, prior to the injury Chester had some great footage clocked with Dean and Shad Johnson. He was able to put together a solid part with some of the wildest clips in the video, despite getting hardly any time to film. Chet’s words in the video are very sincere and I think he sums up the negative aspects that can come along with filming a video part perfectly.” —Ryan Navazio
