Calling the Shots – Matt and Mark
Our pal Matt Coplon and Mark Mulville call the shots while riding a nice backyard setup in Florida. I loved hearing the bizarre trick names and then actually getting a visual of what the hell they’re talking about.
Lost Bowl Gallery
Shooting a film camera admittedly has its drawbacks. Especially in regard to how quickly you can get film processed and scanned. Within days, there were a couple of excellent galleries:
Ryan Scott’s photo gallery on Collateral
Nick Steben’s at BMX Union
After checking out those galleries, take a look at some photos I shot the weekend of 4/20. It was an absolute blast to see old friends and drink a beer on the roof of a school bus. I even got to drop in on the bowl myself.
I am pretty sure that when Garrett Byrnes was doing this table, “It’s Grey” was playing on the radio.
Matty Aquizap letting one rip out of the deep end.
Jake Honesto had these tire slides from the deep end to the shallow end figured out all day.
Garrett is entirely way too comfortable with opposite airs and it is awesome.
This transfer Matt was doing was so good. From the shallow end of the kidney, over the hip, into the deep end of the pool.
Seeing Dean ride in his natural habitat is truly awesome. It is like seeing Brian Foster at Catty.
It wasn’t until later in the day that Garrett Guilliams started airing this thing with his natural rotation. This was a pocket air around the corner of the deep end.
Finally, Matt Aquizap with a classic table out of the deep end.
Steven Hamilton Photo
This photo was shot at The New England Chowda Jam last fall. Think of it as the northeast version of Texas Toast. The event was a culmination of DIY and New England attitude. Ramps were brought to a parking lot, some ramps more unique than others… As soon as I saw the giant spoon I knew I wanted to shoot a photo on it. I bothered one of my friends to either tire ride it or feeble it. Due to the bizarre nature of the obstacle, my friend declined. However, by chance, Steven Hamilton rode by and asked if I wanted to shoot a photo of a pedal feeble on the spoon. Needless to say my head exploded. I had spent my formative years rushing home from school to watch “Can I Eat?” before riding with my buddies. Now I was holding my dream camera and shooting a photo with Steven Hamilton.
There was something else that day. Steven’s riding had changed since the days of “Can I Eat?” However, watching Steven ride that afternoon you could tell the spark had come back. There was a pep to his step, a zig to his zag, he was riding at a professional level again. Flash forward 6 months and he is still at it. His Dig interview was so good. Then his part in Animal’s QSS 5 showed Steven producing professional level riding. His part has that very same “I have to see that again” draw that his previous sections had. I suppose the purpose behind this post is to show you a picture of a giant spoon and to say ‘thank you’ to Steven for the photo. Welcome back, man!
