Imprimatur Podcast – Rich Hirsch

It’s that time again for another round of the Imprimatur BMX Podcast. This time around Mike Hinkens caught up with Rich Hirsch to talk about BMX with more focus on the marketing and business side of things that makes for a real interesting listen if you’re interested in that side of BMX. Rich has done it all over the years, so it’s pretty interesting to get his perspective on things!

“In this edition of the Imprimatur BMX Podcast, Mike Hinkens spends some time talking with long time BMX industry insider and general creative mind, Rich Hirsch. Through a discussion of his experiences with video production, being a pro rider, being an art director, managing multiple teams and brands, and much more over the last twenty years, they discuss a multitude of topics including: the role companies play in modern BMX, the detriment of our racing roots, advertising through social media influencers, the ups and downs of Lotek and Stranger, authenticity in BMX, and much more.

Rich Hirsch caught up with Stevie Churchill for a day of fixing up his bike and some riding time.

Here’s a new video Rich Hirsch put together from a day he spent with Stevie Churchill. This video starts out with a trip to Tip Plus to dial Stevie’s bike back in, then they head to the skatepark to stack some clips! Check out what went down!

“A day with Stevie Churchill is always a good one. Andy Garcia killed it all day and Phil got a clip and even helped me get one.” – Rich Hirsch

Snakebite uploaded this gem from 2002…

Talk about a flashback… Snakebite uploaded this Animal Bikes video from 2002 that features riding from Shad Johnson, Rich Hirsch, Lou Rajsich and John Bristol. We can’t remember exactly what this was for, but either way it’s jam packed with some damn good riding that will bring all of the Mid Schoolers to the yard. Take a look!

Rich Hirsch – Street Riding / Stranger Freecoaster Testing

Leave a Comment

We have been stoked on the videos that Rich Hirsch has been putting out during his trip to Taiwan to oversee production of some new Stranger and Primo products. This time around Rich takes us along for a ride to test out the new Stranger Freecoaster that’s in the works, then he sits down to answer a few questions. This is a pretty Vloggy video, but Rich mixes in some sneak peeks of a couple new products in the works and interesting bits throughout so it’s hard to skip around. Take a peek!

“This week we put a new freecoaster hub to the test and could not be more stoked on the results. Stick around for the end of the video if you’ve ever been curious about product design or working in the BMX industry.“

Rich Hirsch – New Stranger and Primo Product Sneak Peek

Leave a Comment

We haven’t been big fans of all the Vlogs, but we’ve been into Rich Hirsch‘s latest videos that he has been putting up on the Stranger channel. The reason for that is because he’s been sharing videos from where Stranger and Primo parts are being manufactured over in Taiwan. Today he dropped a video giving us a look at some of the new products they are currently testing like their new V2 freecoaster and front hub, Crux XL rim, new Stevie Churchill headset caps and tire color, some new bars, a fork and more. Plus, Rich strapped the camera on for some riding to test out a few of the new products before taking a spill. Take a look!

“You win some you lose some… Today I took out my new camera and tried to shoot some ride test shots while testing out some new pegs, and wheels but the spot gods had other plans and I ended up headbutting the sidwalk.

Featuring: @richhirsch

Note: Still working out the kinks in shooting with this new SJCAM M20, need to figure out how to dial in the mount and get it to point up a bit more.”
