Kanode Knows – Ryan Chadwick

Leave a Comment

If you’re a fan of podcasts or video interviews in general, you’ll be real stoked on this one. Bobby Kanode sat down with filmer and all around good dude Ryan Chadwick to talk about a bunch of things like his X Games Real BMX 2019 video he filmed with Simone Barraco, making the decision to try out working outside of BMX and stepping down from his roles as TM and filmer for The Shadow Conspiracy, making the move back into BMX as a freelance filmer and much, much more. This is a real good listen, especially if you’re into filming or the industry side of BMX as a whole. Hit play and take it all in!

“Ryan Chadwick is a freelance videographer from Tempe, AZ. He’s won NORA Cup for the Shadow ONE video, an X-Games Silver medal with Simone Barraco in the 2019 REAL BMX Video contest, and he’s produced several full length BMX videos, including: I Got Work, I Got Work Strikes Back, and Shadow’s epic video What Could Go Wrong. We sit down in his beautiful ass house and talk about stuff. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy!

Leave a Comment

It’s always a good day for a new Trey Jones video! Trey recently spent some time out in Arizona going to work on street spots, pools, ditches, skateparks and more for this new Subrosa Brand video that ended up being just shy of 4 minutes of pure gold! Hit play and take it all in! This is a MUST SEE for sure!

“Subrosa pro Trey Jones has been non stop this year! He started by building and hosting Swampfest, rode in a few Vans Bowl Jams, traveled to multiple countries and has already released the Backyard Brawl video!

After we released that video, he went straight out to Arizona and teamed up with Ryan Chadwick to film for his second Subrosa video of this year!

Check out Trey riding all his favorites including pools, weird transitions, walls, and even a tree all to promote his new Wild Child frame which is available worldwide now!

GT In Arizona

Leave a Comment

GT coming through with some fresh gold featuring Albert Mercado and Jeff Purdy going to work on spots galore down in Arizona! Both of these guys bring a good mix of tricks and creativity to the spots making for a super good watch from start to finish. Not only that, but Ryan Chadwick did a damn good job with the film work. Hit play and enjoy! You won’t be disappointed!

“When Ben from GT presented the idea of doing a short trip with Albert Mercado and Jeff Purdy to my hometown of Arizona, I knew immediately that I had to say yes. Albert has been a good friend of mine long before I was ever considered a professional videographer and his approach to riding and filming has always been one of my favorites. His unique ability to look at a spot and figure out that truly special move is incredible. Jeff, on the other hand, was rather new to me. After a bit of research and watching his INSANE Daily Grind section, I was more than excited to get started. Five days later and a bunch of classic AZ spots conquered, these two absolutely blew me away with their unmatched skill and the determination to get as many moves logged despite our short time together. I hope you enjoy what we’ve put together and I look forward to the next opportunity to film with these badasses again.” – Ryan Chadwick, Filmer.

Leave a Comment

The Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa have released their “ONE” video online for everyones viewing pleasure!

Here’s one we’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks now! The Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa Brand team riders got together in in Atlanta, Georgia where they spent their time crushing spots galore! Hit play because this is 22 minutes of pure amazing.

“In celebration of the release of the “ONE” video use the code ATL-ONE on shop.subrosabrand.com or shop.theshadowconspiracy.com for 10% of your order for the next week. Deal ends Friday July 13th.

Subrosa Brand and The Shadow Conspiracy present ONE.

The idea of ONE is that each of these riders is as much a part of Subrosa as they are of The Shadow Conspiracy. They are as much individuals as they are a team. Each rider possesses a strong, unique talent and perspective on riding, but when they come together they are one unit.

This project was the result of putting these 6 riders in one place on one trip to create something that truly shows they are a team, but also a family.

ONE is a full-length web video with parts from Subrosa/Shadow riders Kyle Hart, Simone Barraco, Joris Coulomb, Matt Ray, Trey Jones and Mark Burnett.

I Got Work Crew Does Sacaton Skatepark

Leave a Comment

It has been a while since we’ve seen a BMX video from the same crew that did “I Got Work” out in Arizona. Here’s a look at a fresh batch of clips the crew stacked during a session at the Sacaton Skatepark. As always, these guys bring a good vibe and plenty of dialed riding. Take a look!

“I Got Work, a BMX video by Ryan Chadwick, came out in 2007 and changed my life. You can watch it by section here: https://vimeo.com/user9097776

This here video features a lot of the original crew:
Spenser Loofa Lee
Sam Buros
Brandon Straub
Pat Burke
Ryan Chadwick
Brad BMX
Eric Bahlman

I took a little snippet of music from the original video for this and its a splash of nostalgia for me. I remember driving out to tempe for the first time in my life to witness the premiere of this video in Kore Bikes garage. These dudes were celebrities to me back then. Now they’re like, 30, old and crusty, and still killing it. Much love dudes.” – Bobby Kanode

Seth Kimbrough

“The longest standing Shadow team member Seth Kimbrough has been a legend for years now, but that hasn’t meant he’s slowed down at all. Case in point, his absolute fire section in our third full-length DVD “What Could Go Wrong?” If you want classic Seth riding, watch and learn.

Eric Bahlman

“There are few dudes who have really become one with their freecoaster and Arizona Shadow rider Eric Bahlman is one of them. With his insane balance, Eric’s section in our third full-length DVD “What Could Go Wrong?” is one that will never be duplicated.

Scott Ditchburn & Paul Ryan

“The dynamic, English duo of Scott Ditchburn and Paul Ryan come together with an incredibly impressive split section mixing their two unique styles of riding in to one. Grinds that will make your head spin and combos that don’t make any sense, the lads make for one of our favorite parts in our third full-length DVD “What Could Go Wrong?”

Mix Section

“The Shadow Conspiracy has always prided ourselves in having one of the strongest families in BMX and it shows in this heavy hitting mix section from our third full-length DVD “What Could Go Wrong?” From French connect Kevin Kalkoff riding full speed to Matt Ray slanging bars faster than the speed of light, if you want to see the dudes go in, don’t miss this part.

Albert Mercado

“What more is there to say about Shadow rider Albert Mercado‘s section in our third full-length DVD “What Could Go Wrong?” other than it is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. The dude does so many tricks that shouldn’t be possible on set ups that shouldn’t be rideable that it makes for one of the most entertaining parts in the video. Stop reading and get to watching!

Johnny Devlin

“The sleeper shredder Johnny Devlin pulled out all the stops while filming for his section in our third full-length DVD “What Could Go Wrong?” From the first trip to the last, Johnny went full speed and left no unique spot unridden. If you want some classic BMX riding, this is the part for you.

Mark Burnett

“The youngest member of the Shadow Conspiracy squad Mark Burnett worked hard on this part starting as a flow rider and ending up as a full fledged member of the Pro team. There’s a reason he was given the bump and this section is part of it. Big rails, tech ledge lines, and a style he can only call his own, Mark is at the front of new school BMX and his “What Could Go Wrong?” DVD section shows it.

Lahsaan Kobza

“Former A Pro racer and style god extraordinaire Lahsaan Kobza started filming for his full-length “What Could Go Wrong?” DVD section with a purpose. Throughout the process, Lah knew exactly what and where he wanted to film and we made sure it happened. With clips from all over the world, this section shows just how thought out and determined he was. Enjoy!

“Simone Barraco‘s NORA Cup winning Video Part of the Year “What Could Go Wrong?” DVD section is 8 minutes of non stop shredding. Pushing the levels of riding in all areas, Simone’s incredible style makes for one of the best video parts we have ever seen. There’s nothing else to say other than WATCH THIS!

Credits

“The Credits section is the best part of any great video because it gives the viewer the opportunity to look behind the scenes of what it was like to film a full-length video. With all the laughs, smiles, and good times, filming for “What Could Go Wrong?” was an experience none of us will ever forget and now you won’t have to either.
