Story Behind the Photo with Albert Mercado

This is awesome. Take a behind the scenes look at a photo shoot Justin Kosman did with Albert Mercado a little while back. This is a unique setup you have never seen before and the photo turned out damn good too! Albert rules!

“Take a look behind the scenes at a sketchy Ride Magazine BMX photo shoot with Albert Mercado and a 40 year old truck with a rusted roll bar. With wobbly shocks, a short run up, and security on the phone, Mercado says, “It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever put my pegs on. It was like riding a flat rail in the air!”
This photo ran in the March/April 2014 issue of Ride Magazine.” – Crooked World

“Story behind the photo: Scotty Cranmer and Matty Cranmer Can Slap photo
I showed up at Cranmer’s skatepark in September for a couple days of Vans photos and before the door could even close behind me Cranmer was asking me to set-up for a photo. Haha. This guy. So I go and get all my gear and as I’m setting up on the wall ride he is explaining to me that he wanted to fufanu or wall slap this can on Monster on the wall ride for a photo and they were about to film it.
Watch the video and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Some slick editing by Matty Cranmer. what you don’t see is the steel reinforced pole inside of the Monster Can. http://youtu.be/laFlOf4OisY
So he indeed did stall on that skinny ass can just above the wall ride. Just another day in the life of the wonder kid.
