Through The Lens: The Come Up. Past, Present and Future

November 28, 2012

As always, TTL just kind of happens and this week was no different. I normally wouldn’t want to do two weeks of straight interviews but I randomly tweeted at Adam Grandmaison a.k.a Adam22 on Twitter and said that I would like to interview him for a future TTL column on the site. Well, long story short he came back with an “I dare you” and now a few days later here we are. Needless to say the reason Adam and I get along so well is because we have had a mutual respect for one another from the beginning and whether or not you want to admit it, The Come Up is a site that nearly every single BMX rider in the world checks on a daily basis so you can’t really say that he isn’t doing it right. He also has been laying low working hard on a bunch of new projects, he hired a staff of bloggers and has been working on a brand new iPhone app that will be out soon. I cruised down to Long Beach on Monday to sit down with him, chill for a bit and find out exactly what TCU has in store for the future. I also interviewed his personal bodyguard Chris Long and his new money guy Alfredo Mancuso. Love it or hate it, TCU has been a staple in the BMX scene and will be for years and years to come. Let’s get to it.

There’s no doubt that the MLK park in Long Beach has become a hot spot for any rider making their way through the city lately. Recently, Chris Long spent some time at the park with Chris Zeppieri, Dan Norvell and Catfish for a session filled with dodging kids on skateboards and scooters and some real good riding. Check out this fresh new original for a look at what went down!

May 24, 2012

Here’s a look at RiFF RAFF’s latest music video for the song called “Livin’ Fast”. You can find Alfredo Mancuso, Alex Platt, Chris Long and Adam22 all getting some time in the video as well. Not sure if I’m into the song or not, but pretty cool.

Chris Long Interview

April 2, 2010

Chris is another one of those names who has been popping up more and more lately in the filming and editing side of BMX these days. Whether it’s for a Vital exclusive, or a Volume web edit, I never have to question if it’s going to be a quality video to check out. Not only that, his brother is Matty and that should create some sort of fear because of what these two combined can create. I’ve wanted to get this interview for quite a while now, and it’s finally a reality. Check out what Chris has to say and then leave him some love in the comments!
