Beach Ride Portraits

Back in December while Max was here, we went on a random ride to the beach with some of Deacon’s homies. There were some star studded bikes in the mix here so I had to capture everyone with their whips.

Teppei Iwabuchi – Vast Interview

New Teppei content alert!! Anything that involves Teppei, I tune in. This absolute legend in our scene sat down with Vast for an interview about his life, bikes, skateboards, and everything in between. We even get a little bit of riding at the very beginning, a sight for sore eyes.

Chris Alzona – Table For 1 Vol 8

8th installment of Chris’ solo filmed edit project where he just annihilates some flat ground Trick Track combos. My head hurts watching these. Can anybody count the amount of bikes he rode for this?

Koichi Higo aka FORKONE – SKID 180

Early May, We went out for a night shoot with Koichi Higo aka FORKONE again. He comes from a flatland BMX background, but he’s incorporated movements unique to fixed gear riding. One of them is the SKID 180.

What’s crazy is that he even does SKID 180s while riding backwards — absolutely mind-blowing. I shot way more, but I’ll just share a few for now.
