Bone Deth X DIG – The Weirdos That We Are

Leave a Comment

This is a pretty creative idea, instead of your typical video, DIG teamed up with Bone Deth for this slideshow style video with some unique music Sean Burns cooked up with soundbites from different encounters he has had with people while out filming to go along with some awesome photos by Andrew White! Hit play and check it out!

“Encounters with the general public while bike riding can be a tiring but often hilarious affair, but what the hell must they think when they encounter a bunch of skinny jean wearing, leather clad BMX freaks leaping off their roof?! We can’t get enough of the Bone Deth dudes so we were beyond happy to mix up some of our favorite DIG / Andrew White photography and audio delights from life on the road on one typical trip, surrounded by weirdos and bums.

Eclat – Sean Burns Grip & Stem Commercial from 2010

Leave a Comment

Eclat dug into their archives and pulled out this gem featuring Sean Burns that came out way back in 2010 to promote his signature stem and grips at the time. Although this video might be six years old already, it still kicks a ton of ass. Hit play to watch Sean launch over some big gaps, spin over a car, take a few big drops and grind a few rails in this short but sweet video. Big burly gaps never get old.

Lost In The Ozone – A Remembrance Of Brian Histand

Leave a Comment

It was announced back in January that Brian Histand’s body was found after a nearly 3 year search from when he mysteriously went missing and nobody knew exactly where he was or what was going on. It’s still hard to believe BMX lost Brian. He was definitely one of a kind and nothing short of amazing, just ask anyone that knew him. The crew over at DIG just released this video that Sean Burns compiled from photos and some of his riding footage from over the years for you to enjoy and remember Brian with. There’s also a bigger piece on the DIG website where Sean, Dave Krone, Tim Coyne and Mike Purcey all chime in on Brian and just who he was and how he impacted and influenced their lives. You can, and should, check it out here — Lost In The Ozone – A Remembrance of Brian Histand.

Rest in Peace, Brian. You will never be forgotten.

“When elders speak of young deaths as a shame, I find it contradicting when it comes from someone who has barely left the state they were born in. Brian Histand died young. Yet Brian lived a life more exciting than millions who have lived over seventy five. The details of Brian’s missing time period and death I will leave out of detail. Brian is gone now and the focus is on the things that he did positive when he lived. Which was nearly everything that he did. It is rare that I meet a human who is constantly so optimistic that in any situation or circumstance.. they are laughing through all of it. Even during times of pain and misfortune, Brian was laughing. There were times that I feared for Brian’s life in which quickly turned into him making a joke about how much he must have just looked like claymation whilst crashing. I traveled with Brian off and on for four to five years. Never once did I see him take a negative route for any situation. Not to mention he was a constant comedian. No matter the time or place, Brian always had room to goof off. That is an attribute I can admire. He didn’t waste time over reacting or turning situations negative.

We were confronted by an angry pedestrian with threats of a swinging sledge hammer and he bursted into tears laughing at the guy. Normally I would have imagined it would increase the dangers of the situation but in this case it led to the sledge hammer freak to chill out and laugh about it too. Perhaps there was an extended energy with Brian that induced people to chill out. I can’t say I ever met anyone that was mad at Brian. Truly or even remotely upset with him. The energy he splattered into the BMX world was the same style. I never met anyone that hated on his riding. He was super talented and could do any trick really that he wanted to learn yet he wanted to do what rocked his socks off… Jump big shit! He was such a fan of fast, loose, and exhilarating riding. He wanted to find the next big set up. The next big bongo launcher that he could sail off of. If you take into account some of the things he’s done and saw the run ups in person you would totally understand that he is one of the craziest BMXers to have existed thus far. That could be my personal opinion but if you have seen a handful of the spots he has accomplished and attempted in person.. you’d know there are not many that would pursue the same.

The video I put together of Brian is a combination of footage from Bone Deth road trips. From Surfin’ for the Ugly Broads DVD, to the rotten video, gypsy tour, and many more. Mostly shot by myself, Dean Dickinson, Ryan Navazio, and Dave Krone. There is a ton more footage of Brian out there. From his Tempered edits, to the Yo guy DVD and more. But this footage consists of the time that I traveled with Brian.

I will never forget the day I rode face first into a steel telephone pole nearly knocking myself out because I had just watched Brian do a 360 bunny hop table so flat that i lost concentration and magnetized to the nearest pole with my face. Still to this day I have never seen anyone bunny hop table 360 straight off the ground so good. That Histand hop will be ringing in my brain forever. The pain included I do not even regret. I hope this video gives a slight glimpse into Brian’s madness and positivity. A truly great rider and great friend.… a deadman before death.. and now forever. RIP BRIAN HISTAND.” – Sean Burns
