Honey BMX – Timmo Haapalainen 2014 Video

September 21, 2014

Always good seeing a filmer get some time in front of the lens! We’ve seen a ton of videos from Timmo Haapalainen for Honey BMX the past few years, but this is the first full edit from him we’ve seen in quite a while. Check out Timmo putting together some real solid riding on street spots over in Finland!

“Timmo is one of my long time friends and i was more than stoked when he asked me to do a edit for him last spring.
We started this project early spring and finished on September so its like 4 months of cruising streets and filming this 30years old man.
Timmo is a bmx filmer / editor too and our ways to think about a bmx edit are very different so there was a couple times that i just wanted to punch him into face and say that this aint like filming a fucking Titanic (I actually said that later) but we definitely had the best time filming for this and i would definitely do it again.

Honey BMX – Rome

February 14, 2014

Here’s a fresh one from Honey BMX that might raise some questions…. Last winter during the Simple Session, Timmo Haapalainen and his girlfriend decided to go to Rome for a few days to check out the spots and film for this video! Now, based off all of this it looks like Rome has a lot to offer. What I can’t figure out is that he didn’t see a single rider, skateboarder… or even a scooter!?

“Still I didn’t see any other bmx rider or skater there. Not even a single scooter kid. All the ledges were clean from wax and there were no tire marks anywhere.”

Is Rome some sort of untapped spot that nobody thinks of going to? Read a little more about this video right here, then book your flights!

Damn, the quality of this video is so high.

“The second part of our edit series is finally here and it features Honey cinematographer/editor Timmo Haapalainen and Nummela originated talent Tomi Brunell. This is a great example of how projects can grow bigger and bigger. First we only had this idea of shooting some footage at perhaps the only full pipe spot in Finland. Or at least we don’t know any other full pipes here… After that we went further to discover more spots in this extremely unusual environment to ride bmx. Then we decided to add three more days to finish shooting this film, some extra sound design in post production (Big up Keke for the great work!), and so on… and so on… You get the idea, first we had only the full pipe and suddenly there is this whole short film project…
