Video Days – Ben Lewis’ Early Sections
Today 'Ben Lewis' is a staple name in the BMX scene now but once he was just a rumour. He was unsponsored and largely unknown except for two video parts, we talk to makers of those videos NSF2 and The Make's Cut The Crap about how far of his time Ben was. Split Section in NSF2 (2002) The Make, Cut The Crap (2006)
Colts: Justin Henninger
Justin Henninger is the real deal. He approaches riding with a quiet confidence that is as rare as it is impressive. Justin handles business; there’s no yelling, bike throwing, or excuses. Once he’s committed, that’s that. “I don’t like spending my time on computers, I’d rather be out riding or digging or doing something” Words and photography by Devin Feil
