Mike Mastroni sat down for an interview on the Unclicked Podcast.
The latest episode of the Unclicked Podcast has arrived. This time around Mike Mastroni sat down for an interview with Ryan Fudger and Demarcus Paul to talk about his riding career to his film work on through what he’s up to these days. You already know Mike crushes it on both sides of the lens, and they cover a ton of ground in the 3 hours of conversation.
“Mike Mastroni is in the Unclicked studio! Mike has built a stacked catalog of video parts and creative projects over the years, both in front of and behind the camera. He’s one of the most creative riders in BMX, with a vision that goes far beyond riding. From zooming in and finding spots nobody else sees to shaping full video projects from start to finish. He’s widely regarded as one of the best BMX videographers to pick up a camera. Mike has always pushed BMX in his own way, tastefully challenging norms on and off the bike while carving out a lane of his own in the industry. With help from professional BMX rider and guest host DeMarcus Paul, we dive into his latest Sunday Bikes part, Heaven Help You Now, along with the stories, ideas, and projects that led him to creating his long history of classics.
