35mm Experimentation

The last few weeks I’ve been going out with our dude Christian Meldrum and testing out his 35mm camera. He just got these shots back and some of them came out pretty cool. More shots after the jump. All photos by Christian Meldrum.

Bombtrack Divide | New Build

After getting Bombtrack’s soon to be released gum top tires, I figured it would compliment them best with a fresh build. So here it is in all it’s glory, very stoked on how this one turned out. More photos after the jump.

sMc Presents | YOUNG GUNS

Here it is everybody. A ton of work went in to this video and we are very excited on how it turned out. These dudes worked their asses off to get their parts exactly how they wanted, over a year of filming, for almost nothing in return. We did this because we love this sport, so give these guys some kudos for this. So here it is, suck our cogs, YOUNG GUNS.

One More Redbull Edit | Macaframa

This will probably be the last of the 2014 Red Bull Ride + Style edits coming out, and it’s a hell of a one to finish on. Macaframa is the king of production value. Shots always come out clean, HD, and a perfect angle. This recap of the event was put together brilliantly by Colin Arlen and you definitely need to check it out.
