Over the last two or so months, Mutiny Bikes have been releasing a series of videos going by the title of “Cool Story, Bro”. These videos that are being produced by the one and only Richard Forne are a unique approach to a sea of web edits that are focused less on the riding, but more on the personalities of the team riders, giving you a look into what runs through their minds.
After watching a couple of these videos, I started wondering what got this series going, what kind of time and work is actually going into making them happen and what the future of the concept holds. I knew the only way to find out more was to track down Rich and get him to fill us in while he waited on one of the many flights he had to take between Israel, the U.K and the U.S. to make these videos happen. Luckily for us, we were able to get ahold of him and he was more than down to give us the answers we were looking for. Let’s see what he had to say!

Mutiny – Cool Story Bro: Brandon Hoerres
Mutiny Bikes have dropped their latest round of Cool Story Bro. This time around it features long time team member and Midwest legend, Brandon Hoerres. Enjoy. These videos are a work of art!
“Bad weather and a rolled ankle on the 1st day of filming were 2 of the cards Brandon was dealt for his Cool Story Bro filming session. Never the less we are proud to present the next chapter in the Cool Story Bro series. Ladies and gentlemen meet the one and only Brandon Hoerres.

“Monster Rally is the brainchild of 23 year old Columbus (Ohio) resident and Cleveland native Ted Feighan. Producing music that is sampled-based tropical pop, Monster Rally began with the goal of assembling a bunch of old records into a completely different beast. Feighan began crafting tracks from his collection of records, combining his interests in Hip-hop, Exotica, Tropicalia, and Soul. Monster Rally creates tracks that manage to maintain a surprisingly organic sound, as if they were recorded by a full band on analog tape. There is something inherently nostalgic about the sound” – Gold Robot Records.”

Mutiny – Cool Story Bro: George Boyd
I’m so hyped on this new “Cool Story Bro” series that Mutiny has been doing. This time around they catch up with George Boyd to see what his life is like in Los Angeles. There’s some riding, but it’s more or less an experience of what he experiences out there and it’s absolutely amazing. I highly advise you watch this.
Oh, and Richard Forne did an amazing job with this video as well! Shout out to him!
“Next up in the Cool Story Bro series is Texas born George Boyd, who recently made the move out west to Los Angeles. Spare 5 minutes and 4 seconds of your time to learn a little more about George; from raunchy meat to being positive to awesome ditches this has you covered.
