“Roc Bottom” – Dave Raffa Section

November 18, 2015

It’s always rad seeing the guys who are putting together a full-length BMX video actually get a full section in the video. It’s a lot of work to produce a video, but also finding time in front of the camera can be tricky. Dave Raffa didn’t have any trouble managing both because he came through with a real solid section for the “Roc Bottom” video! Check out what he cooked up!

“This week we have Roc Bottom creator, Dave Raffa’s section from the DVD to share with you. Dave clearly scoured the nooks and crannies of the city for spots, riding more than a couple that leaving you itching to hit Rochester. It’s not just the spots that things interesting, he’s got the bike control and vision to produce a really unique video part.” – DIG

It’s always rad seeing some footage from an up and coming rider. We’ve seen some footage of Rob Harris in the past, but this new BMX video from DIG is a clear indicator that he needs to be on your radar, because we’re positive this isn’t the last we see of this guy. Hit play to what him put in work on some of his local street spots!

Wethepeople X Frayed – Mike Curley: Coast To Coast

November 11, 2015

You know you’re in for a treat when a new Mike Curley BMX video drops! Here’s a fresh one for Wethepeople and Frayed that is packed full of killer lines that mix Mike’s crazy manual and nose manual balance in with grinds, whips and freecoaster action. Add in some really good film work and you have a video that you cannot pass up!

“Wethepeople’s Mike Curley hit the road between the east and west coast in the north of England stopping off at some prime spots along the way. Mike is well known for his bike control and some of these clips solidify that heavily, especially some of those crazy nose manual combos.

Eric Bahlman – Hi-8

November 10, 2015

There’s a good chance that Eric Bahlman is the only guy still going through the effort of filming with a Hi-8 camera in BMX…. But, that’s okay because he keeps pumping out rad videos like this one! Check out some fresh grind and freecoaster madness from Eric!

“Our Hi-8 series produced by Eric Bahlman continues with the man himself taking center stage. Eric Bahlman adopted a freecoaster long before the current craze and continues to bring his own flavor to the mix. Few out there have hop table variations that look nearly as nice as Phoenix’s freecoaster technician!” _ DIG

Etnies In Vegas

November 6, 2015

DIG just dropped this raw cut of footage from the Etnies trip to Las Vegas to film for the “Chapters” video. Check out a few clips that didn’t make the cut from Aaron Ross and Nathan Williams above, then check out some real good photos and a write up from the trip over on the DIG website.

“While everyone left Interbike in zombie mode a few months back in Las Vegas, Nathan Williams, Aaron Ross and filmer Will Stroud decided to prolong their stay and battle some of that Nevada heat, all in the name of the upcoming etnies full-length, ‘Chapters’. Needless to say those guys snagged some insane clips but until you can see those in the DVD we’ve got some extras from their time in the desert. Our man Kevin Connors went along to shoot photos and provide some spot location assistance.”

“Roc Bottom” – Matt Smith, Nate Stahura and Peter Knapp

November 5, 2015

Another section from the “Roc Bottom” video for you to enjoy featuring some of Rochester, New York’s finest putting in work on the city’s endless street spots. This section features riding from Matt Smith, Nate Stahura and Peter Knapp and doesn’t disappoint!

“Matt Smith of The Yea, OG Rochester local Nate Stahura, and young gun Peter Knapp hold down the first section in Dave Raffa’s ‘Roc Bottom’ DVD. Whether you are a newcomer to town, closing in on 40 doing one-footed double peg grinds, or just barely old enough to drive there’s a place for you in the Rochester scene and BMX in general. Look for the following part to drop next week here on DIG.

“This section offers a glimpse into the variety of riders within the Rochester scene. The transplant, the staple, and the young boy. Matt Smith, the transplant who had a brief residency in Rochester, brought some out of town flavor to the Roc. Matt has a keen eye for set ups, and a scrupulous attention to trick execution. He is a true BMX nerd and runs theyea.com. Nate Stahura, the staple, who on any given day can be spotted riding downtown. Nate has been piece of the Rochester scene for 20 years. He has seen the old guys fade away, the transplants come and go, and the young kids flourish. Riding scenes always evolve and it is valuable for it to have some staple figures to offer guidance. Finally we have the young boy, Peter Knapp. Peter is one of many young talented riders in Rochester. At 16 years old, there is a 17 year age gap between him and Nate. There is also a three stack height difference between them too. Enjoy.” -Dave Raffa
