The filming on the intro combined with the music/editing is beautiful. Some of the street riding footage is on the dark side but what can you expect when you ride those spots when it’s dark. The UGP crew brought the generator with lights out on several occasions which helped with the view for the riders and the overall picture. Riders that stand out on Mega 4 are Jake Finley who definitely made the best of his time on board of this road trip and delivered with loads of opposite stuff. Morgan Wade is insane and likes to go big. Another rider who is not afraid is Brian Kachinski. Mucho respect to Brian for picking up his bike again and again after so many (rail) attempts gone wrong. He doesn’t stop until he nails it. It’s hard to limit to a few guys as all of them are shredders. The Blacken team definitely spiced things up. They’re a wild bunch and I love it. They even went sky diving with the Hoffman crew. Mat Hoffman also gave a demonstration with his propeller-parachute set up and flew over his own halfpipe with the thing. The video is a great way to get a good picture of what BMX freestyle is all about. New tricks, finding spots to ride, encouraging others, music, friendship, spending time in the car, getting hurt, fixing flats, good times, adventure, parties, they all lead to memories. If you can’t wait for issue 4, #3 won’t disappoint.
