Weird & Revered – Justin Schwanke: Citified

Leave a Comment

Justin Schwanke is back with a fresh batch of clips from the city…

It looks like Justin Schwanke has been working on a new DVD with the Weird & Revered crew. Over the time they have been filming for it, Justin has ended up with a ton of extra clips, so he whipped up this new edit. We’re not sure how most of the clips in this are extras since they kick a lot of ass, but we’ll take his word for it. Hit play and check it out!

“The word, “citified,” represents the transition from rural to urban life. Going from living in the country to city can be a big change, especially when you find that you now have a whole community of BMX to get to know. Through trying to connect with the local scene Justin and the Weird & Revered crew found it was very fragmented. So they decided to try and bring it together through filming a local Edmonton (Canada) scene DVD. Through this filming Justin has stacked some extras which make up this video.

Weird & Revered – The Lost “Far North” Tapes

Justin Schwanke coming through with a video from a trip to Alaska that never made its way online…

We’re always stoked to see a fresh Weird & Revered video, even if it took two years for the footage to make its way online. Back in 2016 Justin Schwanke took a trip to Alaska to do some riding and to take in the sights. Here’s a bunch of footage from the trip that is just making its appearance online. Looks like it was a great trip to us!

““Back in 2016 I decided that rather than attending my University graduation, I should road trip up to Alaska. It seemed like an appropriate way to celebrate my freedom from studying. So that’s what I did. I traveled north through Alberta, British Columbia, the Yukon, and finally to Alaska. Along the way, I filmed some clips with various people and with various cameras. When I got home I sourced a bunch of the footage from friends and started to edit. However, I was met with immediate frustration. Some of the files were corrupted and others wouldn’t import into my editing program. I tried my best to resolve the issues, but I was unable to make any progress. I eventually accepted defeat. Fast forward about a year and half later, and armed with an updated editing program, I chose to give it another go. Round two proved successful. This is a video documenting my travels atop two wheels in The Far North. Enjoy!” -Justin Schwanke

Hit play and enjoy!

Weird & Revered In The Deep South

We were just thinking it has been a while since a Weird & Revered video has popped up…

It looks like Justin Schwanke and the Weird & Revered crew decided it was time to load up and head south from Canada to see what the southeast corner of the U.S has to offer for street spots and skateparks. Here’s a video they put together from their recent trip that appears to have been a ton of fun. As always, you get a good mix of creative, unique and original riding, making for a great watch from start to finish.

“When it comes to planning a BMX trip, the world is your playground. There are plenty of obvious destinations to choose from but the Weird & Revered took the unconventional way and went south. From Atlanta, Georgia to Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida the guys had a ton of adventures in their Dodge Mini Van!
