As a photographer I am always searching out ways to set myself apart and create content that people will be into. It’s one of the biggest challenges and one of the hardest parts about it to be honest, especially these days when everyone has a camera of some sort with them on a regular basis whether it is a digi-cam or an iphone and life is being documented by the minute. It’s a mix of doing what makes you happy and trying to figure out what will make viewers happy as well. That’s where this new “A different perspective” idea came from. Over the years I have interviewed tons of pro riders about anything and everything except one important topic. What is it like from their perspective to go out and shoot with a photographer? What it is that makes one person better to shoot with than others? I have always wondered about what goes on inside a riders mind before they prepare to shoot a crazy banger and put all of their trust into the photographer. See what Connor Lodes, Christian Rigal and Ronnie Napolitan all had to say for the third edition of “A different perspective.”
Sean Ricany & Connor Lodes in California
East Coast meets West Coast… in California. Check out Sean Ricany and Connor Lodes throwing down some damn good riding in this new Ride BMX edit.
“It’s funny how things work out. I’ve been sitting on some Connor Lodes footage for way too long (we’d planned on finishing an edit and bad luck kept getting in the way of finishing it off) and recently, his Premium teammate Sean Ricany recently came to town. Sean and I had full plans on finishing a full edit, but a cold/flu had him down for the count after the first two days of filming. Since Sean caught a flight home to Jersey last week, I figured it would be a good idea to put together the two for a mix edit, which you can check out above.” – Andrew Brady

Hangover: 6/17 – 6/24
Over the last few months, I spent some time compiling weekly lists of the top BMX videos to drop for Network A. It was a good opportunity for me to go back and review all of the videos that dropped each week.
I’m not sure if you are aware of it, but the Daily Section gets updated a few times a day which generally ends up being around 30 new posts with the latest videos, products, news and what not every single day. In a given week, there are around 210 new posts (probably a lot more than that actually) which means one thing… A lot of really good videos get missed since I highly doubt you are spending as much time as I am going through all the new stuff popping up. I hope not at least.
Since the job with Network A ended (two months longer than originally planned), I’ve been thinking it would be cool to do a recap of my own each week to give some shine to the videos that turned out awesome and were quickly buried under all the new posts. So, here we have it. The first round of Hangover, a look back at the wild party we call a week. This should become the new Sunday tradition, so let’s give this a go!
