Working on this video with Brandon Begin was a unique project for me. First off, we’ve been chipping away since 2018—which is like, “forever” by the filming for a web video standard of today. There’s even one clip from 2016—well before we were even filming for anything specific. But when it’s a passion project, time is a lesser nemesis. And good thing, too, because between Brandon’s sponsor needs, my other work obligations, ABDs, a global pandemic, and whatever else life threw at us—we needed all the time we could get! I’m a huge fan of Begin’s riding and I was excited to share some cool setups around LA that I knew he’d appreciate and figure out how to ride in the sickest way possible. So without further ado, here’s a three-plus year riding retrospective encapsulating Brandon Begin’s ever-evolving look and style. —Jeff Z.
