Escape To Nowhere – Brian Kachinsky

December 8, 2014

Brian Kachinsky absolutely slaying rails in Southern California? Yes please.

“Brian Kachinsky explores the road less traveled and discovers a different sort of paradise in the high desert of Southern California…

“Each year millions of people travel to Southern California in search of the endless summer. As the days get shorter and winter sets in this journey to the west can seem like an escape to paradise. Many flock to the Los Angeles area and upon landing immediately head a short distance westward to the coastline. I’ve done this before. I liked it. Recently, after landing at LAX I never saw the ocean or the Hollywood walk of fame. Instead, I headed east into the high desert in search of a different sort of paradise.

As BMXers we are often cut from from a different cloth. Our ideal paradise doesn’t always include the sandy beaches, fancy nightclubs or resorts. Sometimes we are just happy to ride a new spot and explore the road less traveled.”

-Brian Kachinsky

Huge thanks goes out to Vans and DK for their support on this project.

Check out what went down this past weekend for Tip Plus‘ first Ham-Am jam! A ton of pros and young guns threw down some amazing riding on the setup they had for this one!

Haro – “Take The Risk” in Malaysia

November 25, 2014

Haro recently dropped Dennis Enarson, Tyler Fernengel, Mike Gray and Matthias Dandois in Malaysia for some time to explore the spots, meet the locals and experience the culture! Needless to say, these guys had a hell of a good time and this video Ride dropped shows just that! Hit play and take it all in!

Filmed and edited by Christian Rigal

“I’d been to Malaysia back in the early 2000’s. It was one of those trips where I saw three things: the airport, the hotel, and the contest area. I always wanted to go back to explore, and a decade later, the lure of a pro contest in a tropical country in Southeast Asia had me looking into tickets. Now was the chance!

As team manager, I become responsible for a lot of things. I have to design a trip. Who to take? Where to stay? What if it rains the whole time? I see the whole trip unfold in my head a thousand different ways well before we even board the plane. I have to do a lot of research before I purchase those tickets…I can’t have this trip fail, and heading to a place that no riders really visit is pretty risky. But, at least the event would take up most the time anyway…

First dudes on the trip were Mike Gray and Tyler Fernengel. They both joined the Haro team earlier in the year and it was their turn to hit the road. And as a bonus, they are young and inexperienced travelers that I hoped to introduce some culture to and give them a trip to remember. Matthias Dandois has traveled the entire world over and over again, but I was surprised to hear he had not yet visited Malaysia. Matthias is such a unique rider and he’s a positive guy to be around—he was coming for sure. Finally, Dennis Enarson got the call. We all know Dennis can ride any terrain, but he gets an automatic invite just for being the amazing person he is. We needed a filmer. After picking the crew, only one guy came to mind to join us and that was Christian Rigal. It’s invaluable to have a filmer the crew knows personally. And, the filmer is carrying around a heavy bag all day, filming try after try for sometimes hours, missing meals, getting dehydrated, and while we all enjoy the sunset, the filmer is usually getting a time lapse shot in and then has to stay up late logging footage. They are long days on the road and I knew Christian could handle the job as well as have a good time with us.” —Colin Mackay

Scotty Cranmer – 120 Minutes at The Incline Club

November 14, 2014

“Scotty Cranmer puts his home court advantage to use with one hell of a session at The Incline Club in Lakewood, New Jersey. When you’re in Jersey, the chances of rain ruining your photo mission can be pretty high… And when you go to the park, scooter kids getting in the way of your session is a sad but very real reality. Scotty recently beat the odds with a strong session at The Incline Club, and even went on to hit the streets and shoot a photo before the end of the day. Get your hands on issue #205 of RideBMX Magazine for the pictorial visuals.” – Ride BMX

Animal Bikes – Keep It Movin’

November 11, 2014

Ride BMX caught up with the Animal Bikes crew to spend a day cruising the warehouse and some street spots with the crew that holds it down out East! Take a look!

“This is how it’s done on the East Coast. I’m not sure there’s a single legitimate “rail clip” in here… But from storm-doors to pole jams, bump-jumps, and doorsteps, nothing goes untouched. Ever since its inception in 2004, Animal Bikes has held it down as the most core street brand to ever walk the earth. Get an inside look at the Animal headquarters, then cruise around with the likes of Chase Dehart, Matt Miller and the Chocolate Truck crew, boss man Ralph Sinisi himself, and even Animal employees Mike Osso, Nick Bardzilowski, and Rosie O’Donnell.”
