Head on over to the Ride BMX website to check out some overflow questions from their 25 years of handrails feature from the July 2013 issue. They had some great questions and answers from Mat Hoffman and Dave Parrick that I’m sure anyone with a little interest in BMX’s history can get stoked on.

Review: Empire – Bad Idea

July 20, 2012

I’ve probably told this story a hundred times by now, but that’s fine. Flash back a few years ago to I think it was the 2008 NORA Cup during Interbike. I’m standing in this casino just in awe of everything going around me. My favorite pros, owners of companies, flashing lights and just general non-sense everywhere. All of the sudden this “slightly” intoxicated guy stumbles up to Brian Tunney and I (for some reason that’s what my mind keeps telling me who I was with at the time) and says “Hey, you guys want to see the trailer for the new Empire DVD?”. At the time, I didn’t know this was the one and only Dave Parrick…

Haha, there’s nothing better than putting a camera in front of a bunch of drunk BMX riders faces… The Empire video sounds like it turned out amazing… as expected. So stoked to see this.

“The premiere for Empire’s “Bad Idea” DVD hit the Art Theater in Long Beach, California by storm last Saturday night, bringing faces from all over the California region to the event to see the project that has been in the works for over four years. Check out commentary from Gary Young, Ashley Charles, Tony Ennis, Jim Bauer, Aaron Bostrom, and Dave Parrick himself.” – Empire

Dirty Deeds – Rooftop

June 20, 2011

“This was my first video part i ever had the pleasure of filming.We started filming summer of 1993. The first clip i filmed was the rail to barspin at the old Huntington Beach rails.Dave Parrick asked me to have a section in his new video. I spent every saturday for a year almost filming with him so if you know Dave that was a lot of waiting around hahaha.At the time there were only a few videos a year coming out. I was 13 when i did my first rail and i just assumed everyone did tricks off them so i started trying all sorts of stuff off the end.Little did i know there was really just me and the Homeless crew doing rail variations down rails so when this came out it had a lot of rail tricks no one had scene yet.some of the first or new at the time were rail to barspin,rail to no hander,rail to icepick,crooked grind,over grinds,gap to rails,rail to manuals,rail to hop over,some manual to ice picks & over ice grinds on skatepark rails,even almost pulled a double bar out of one as well,I have no idea why i didn’t try more.Even had a few jump moves like toboggan to barspin.we also filmed enough ramp stuff for a whole part but it got left out and we kept it a street part mainly which i couldn’t thank Dave Parrick enough for his judgement on that.This time in BMX was very different then it is now,BMX was “dead” and it was a time when a select few pioneered street riding to help shape it what it has become.I feel very lucky to have grown up riding in that time of bmx.It was a time of Gladiator ramp riders and visionary street riding…
It was released in 1995 by Dave Parrick
