Kink – One Hit Wednesday: Chris Doyle
For this weeks One Hit Wednesday, Kink went back to 2008 to a clip of Chris Doyle that he had a little “trouble” with. Chris is a beast. Enough said! Check it out!
“Chris Doyle has been filming enders longer than most people have been riding. For our 2008 dvd, “Safety First” we ended up filming his last clip in Chapel Hill, NC. Chris had been sweating this manual gap to rail for a few years before this, and decided it was finally time to get it done. One of our flow riders, Jason Owens, lost his mind when Chris accidentally jumped to feeble on the first take. Chris being the professional he is, got back on his bike and laced it next try. Classic Doyle, classic footage.”

Check out this video DIG dropped where Jim absolutely destroys some of his local spots around Philadelphia! If you haven’t taken notice of Jim yet… You’re blowing it!
“Merritt’s zealous shredder, Jim Borio has had a pretty hectic past year with some major filming commitments but managed to put in some serious amount of work around the Philly area for this DIG exclusive video, and it shows!
