FFWD – How Steady Are You Rolling

September 1, 2013

Mike King has just launched a new version of Fast Forward BMX. Not only does the site look awesome, he’s kicked things off with a rad feature on filming board. If you’re an aspiring filmer looking for some tips on how to get the best results from your filming board, I would suggest you click here and check out the full article!

“To kick off our ‘Viewfinders’ series I thought what better way than to touch on the one topic that’s bugged me the most.
Filming boards; for the most part a filming board set up is really down to common sense, that said, it’s a big can of worms when you’re looking to get started on a filming-specific set up and frankly, I didn’t really get round to it until very recently; basically when someone asks you ‘What are you filming on? A steam roller?’ then you know something has to be done..
Our ‘Viewfinders’ is by no means the ‘be all and end all’ of BMX video production, these are just a few things we have learnt along the way which may be worth sharing, your feedback is constantly encouraged and welcome, we’re still learning too. So, head over to fastforwardbmx.com and check out the article.

Vans – Dillon Lloyd Welcome Edit

July 9, 2013

What happens when you give Dillon Lloyd some fresh Vans and team him up with FFWD‘s Mike King? You get a phenomenal welcome edit that you cannot miss! Check out Dillon absolutely destroying street spots and cement parks in this!

“After three weeks of uncooperative weather, torn ligaments, moved cartilage, flat tires and Rambo movie marathons, Dillon Lloyd came away with a dialled edit to officially welcome him to the Vans team.
You can read all about the up and downs filming for this video in an article titled ‘What Would Rambo Do?’ featured in the latest issue of Ride UK (177)

FFWD BMX – The Big Budget Tour

March 4, 2013

You give Mike King and a few of his friends 3 days and no money… You will still end up with an amazing video. Check out this gem they put together from a recent trip for FFWDBMX.

“It is with great pleasure, that Fast Forward BMX presents #THEBIGBUDGETTOUR
We had planned on initially dropping this with our new website, which unfortunately is on hold for another few weeks…
In the thick of winter, myself and my three housemates; Adolfo Olivo, Max Wood and Alex Robbins spent three days hitting a few of the South of the U.K.’s best…. Indoor parks.
That may not sound like much, but in the heat of weather warnings, thick snow, ice and us being relatively broke, we persevered and hopefully this video reflects just what a good time it ended up being.
After only a day Max unfortunately left and we recruited United’s UK shredder, Dan Boiski.
No big sponsors, no big budgets, no tour bus, no five-star hotels, no groupies and certainly no food money; just public transport, sleeping bags, raincoats and your homies.
Guest clips from Will Lewis, Matt The Racist and Jack Marchant.
This is our first trip video since some of the crew hit Lisbon, over two years ago, which you can rewatch here – vimeo.com/19891762
Follow Fast Forward BMX and the homies on social networking sites!
