Flash Back Friday – Front Brake Magic

November 15, 2013

Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve seen a couple really mind blowing videos from a few of the guys who are absolute animals when it comes to the front brake game these days. Obviously, in the past years brakes have really become obsolete for a good number of riders, which I mean is fine, but I almost feel like it’s almost becoming some sort of a lost art. There are so many tricks that just aren’t possible without brakes or even front brakes for that matter that kick so much ass. It’s always refreshing to see people doing things different and killing it like it was done back in the day.
Watching all of these new videos with all of this front brake magic got me thinking about not only how bad I want to get some on my bike, but a few of the guys I grew up watching who all ran front brakes. I decided since it’s a “Flashback Friday” that it would be a good time to pull out a few of these new videos and then dig in a little bit for some videos spanning the past decade or so front some of the legends of the front brake game so to speak. Let’s take a peek…

Mike Escamilla: Perfect Day – Venice Beach

August 5, 2013

I can’t imagine how much effort this video took to shoot and edit. I hoped the filmer and editor were well compensated! All in the name of XO cans, which must be pretty gnarly if you can drink them while sky diving, right?

Day in the life with Heath Pinter

April 4, 2013

This is what I call living the dream. Take a look at how Heath Pinter spends his days when he’s got a little free time in this new edit from Network A.

“Heath Pinter takes you on an epic day of snowboarding and dirt with a star studded cast of BMX’ers. Many people know Heath as a stylish dirt jumper and trail building perfectionist, but his roots in snowboarding go way back. Before he was making a dime in the BMX world Heath was throwing down in Tahoe and still loves shredding Bear with the homies! Guest appearances by Mike Escamilla, Andrew Lazaruk, Jared Eberwein, TJ Ellis and Corey Bohan!”

Through The Lens: The Process – Writing a Magazine Article

November 7, 2012

Photography is something that I have loved for almost as long as I can remember. It’s one of those things that just makes sense to me. To be able to capture single moments in time and have them to look back on forever is an incredible thing. Photography is not only what I live for but it’s almost somewhat of an obsession. Now, even though the saying is “a picture is worth a thousand words” no one wants to see a magazine without a little something to read. Writing magazine articles is a huge privilege and an opportunity that I never take for granted. Having your own photos in print is one thing but having an article with your photos as well as your words is a pretty amazing feeling. Most people might wonder how articles come about, how magazines decide on which ones to run, who writes them, and who comes up with the ideas. Well, if you happen to be one of those people then you are in luck because that’s what this week’s column is all about; creating an article from a concept to a finished product.

There’s a few perks to being a team rider for GoPro. One of which would be getting the brand new Hero 3 before anyone else. Mike Escamilla is one of the lucky guys who got to put it to work already and he got plenty of good use out of it. Check out this video of him getting some riding time in and doing some sky diving and base jumping. This is rad!

This is definitely a really interesting video. It’s cool to get a perspective from Anthony and Mike on things. They both did a real good job of doing this right.

“Mike Escamilla lends his BMX veteran perspective on the sport with the help of Anthony Napolitan to cover all angles. Both Escamilla and Napolitan are considered game changers in the world of BMX.
