Sometimes things just ball up. One of those things is the Empire DVD review right here. I first watched it on the way to the Rebel Jam at Dortmund Airport. We actually set it up well with 2 Germans, Paul and I watching the DVD before taking off. Just by watching it, it doesn't automatically translate your opinion into text for the website. Then I also needed a photo to go along with it, but where was the box?
Anyway, it was time to sit down and do it all over again.
Danny Hickerson has moved up the ranks lately and when he keeps whipping like he does in the Empire DVD, you'll be hearing of him more often. The Kink rider shows he can do more than whips. Favorite section of the DVD comes next with Chase Hawk. Boy does he have style (and he knows it). The flow and grace at the 9th street trails is unheard of, a treat to watch, again and again. Joel Moody and Jake Finley get a part each and so does Neil Harrington.
Another standout is Aaron Ross. He didn't get invited on RoadFools 14 for nothing. Aaron kicks ass on street and gets the final section of the DVD which is a sign that he rules.
The video is directed, filmed and edited by Joel Moody who can ride a bike himself. Peeps in the DVD: Pat Holiday, Joe Simon, Jed Rogers, Ryan Boen, Chase Hawk, Joel Moody, Jake Finley, Neil Harrington, Aaron Ross, Dylan SMith, Stew Scott, Jordan Huffnagel, Louis Natal, Andy Martinez, Adam Roye, Devon Hutchins, Andy Hamell, Paul Buchanan, Ruben Castillo, Sandy Carson, Chase DeHart, Kevin Porter, Steven Hamilton, Dan Bogard, Ruben Alcantara, Taj Mihelich, Dennis Dunbrow, Daniel Hickman, Tom Williams, Tian Williams, Joe Rich, Caleb Everitt, Danny Hickerson and Keith McKinney.
It's a production based around the EMPIRE BMX mansion in Austin Texas that sees its fair share of visitors over the year. You'll watch this DVD is you don't know what disk to put in your player. It's got a good feel to it. Order the DVD by calling 1.512.474.4269 or visit [url=http://www.empirebmx.com] EMPIREbmx[/url].
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
