Through The Lens: Company Check – Volume and Demolition
When a BMX company has been around for fourteen years you have to figure that they are doing something right. That was my exact thought when planning the next company to feature for the column and that is why I chose Volume and Demolition. Also because Brian Castillo is a dedicated, hard-working person who constantly pushes BMX in a positive direction. He multi-tasks like no other and still finds time in his day to shred. He rides BMX simply because he loves it, and helped take a dream and make it a reality which is something most people will never do. It takes an incredible amount of drive to run multiple BMX companies for over a decade but he handles it with a small crew working alongside. I made my way down to the offices recently to hang out for the day, shoot some photos and talk to Castillo about what it takes to make it all happen.
The End of an Era: Matt Beringer’s House and Backyard
For the past twelve years there has been a BMX backyard of epic proportions located in Layton, Utah. Sure, it didn’t start out as one of the most historic backyards ever built but over the course of time, and thanks to the support of the home-owner it has surely built up a reputation all its own. The owner is none-other than S&M Bikes pro and legend Matt Beringer. Matt is a character that is actually just as unique as his backyard and that is part of the reason why his yard has become a go-to destination for BMX riders from all over the world. Needless to say, it’s been twelve years of good times and it’s all coming to a close as Matt needs to make some decisions on whether or not to try and keep the house. He is at the point where it’s getting to be more stress than it’s worth for him to keep up on without any support so he posted on his Facebook about putting the house up for sale soon. But first, he wanted to let everyone know that it is up for grabs shred-ready and as-is for $200,000. For any companies looking to invest in an amazing team house this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Located a half an hour out of Salt Lake City, Utah with neighbors that already know the deal and a yard that is ride-able as we speak it would be amazing to see a company step in and take it over. I caught up with Matt to break things down, fill everyone in on the exact details and let him speak his mind on the subject.
Through The Lens: Behind the Cover with Dennis Enarson & Chad Kerley
This week I wanted to give everyone an inside look at the newest cover of Soul Magazine issue #79. It not only came as a surprise to Dennis and Chad but it also came as a surprise to myself as well. I wanted to break it down and let everyone know exactly what it took to make that happen and how sometimes when you least expect it, you get the cover of a magazine. Most of the time it ends up being the craziest/best action photo from that previous month of shooting but every once and a while people like the creators of Soul go above and beyond what’s expected to design a truly unique and one-of-a-kind cover. Let’s take a look and see what went into making this happen.
Soul BMX – Issue 79 Cover
Stoked to show you guys this one. Our very own Jeremy Pavia landed himself the cover photos featuring Chad Kerley and Dennis Enarson for issue 79 of Soul BMX Magazine! Check out a few words from Jeremy about it below, then make sure to check back next Wednesday for a behind the scenes look at how the photos came about!
“I feel honored, lucky, fortunate and incredibly grateful that I am sharing this news with you all today. To say it has been a wild week would be the understatement of my life. With this being my first cover as an independent photographer I can’t explain how thankful I am to have been presented with this opportunity. Not only that, but I get to share it with two of the best to do it so far in the history of BMX. Please visit www.soulbmxmag.com for more info and do your best to get your hands on a copy of this one.” – Jeremy Pavia
Through The Lens – 19 Minutes Later: The Boston Marathon
Words and photos by Jeremy Pavia
The following story is my personal, first-hand experience during the bombing at the Boston Marathon. I keep playing the exact moments over and over again in my head. The sound of the bombs wreaking havoc on innocent people is on repeat and the images of people being loaded into ambulances one after the other is something I can’t remove from my system. This story was written just as soon as I could get my laptop into my hands. As I sit here trying to write an intro that makes sense I keep typing and then deleting, and then typing again. I can’t seem to figure out how to make it work, so just go ahead and start reading.
Through The Lens: Kelly Bolton – For The Love
This week I spent some time catching up with an old friend and someone I respect as a BMX rider in the industry. Kelly has done it all from traveling the world to getting some big sponsors to creating brand new tricks and everything in between. He is the type of rider that has no off switch and is always motivating to ride with. With or without sponsors his love for BMX has not changed at all. Kelly is and has been down for riding since day one and regardless of any monetary gain he is still right here and still pushing himself in a positive direction. I am stoked to call Kelly a friend and wanted to give him a chance to voice his opinion on a few topics so I headed out to the West Side of Los Angeles and met up with him to catch up, talk some shit and enjoy some time with a good friend. See what’s new with Kelly and find out why he’s completely content with riding solely for the love of it.
