The Daily Grind crew giving you a little behind the scenes look at filming for a full-length video! This this first video is just under 16 minutes of raw footage from their trip to Washington DC giving us a look at some of the random clips and b-roll scraps that didn’t quite make the cut for the video. There’s actually a ton of great footage in this, so you know the trip had to of been productive if they were letting some of these clips go!

April 4, 2016

Here’s some news we didn’t see coming. Apparently The Daily Grind crew have been busy starting to stack clips for their next full-length video!

The Daily Grind In North Carolina

February 19, 2016

The Daily Grind crew are no strangers to road trips in search of street spots. Over the past few years they have hit up spots all over the East and West Coasts and plenty in between. They recently decided to load up and head East to North Carolina to see just what the state had to offer for street spots. Although North Carolina is primarily known for Greenville in the BMX world, it’s safe to say this place has some amazing street spots, too. Check out 9 minutes of heavy footage from Zack Gerber, Dan Conway, Troy Merkle, Tony Cherry, Scott Steele, Jon “Gremlin” Bechtold, Mike Vitatoe and Grant Ueberroth who put in some serious work during their visit.

Plenty of grinds and lines. It’s kind of crazy we never really see footage from this place, even though it’s pretty massive.
