Underground flatland bmx at it's finest, honored to be a part of it...
2 years ago Simon O'Brien asked me to contribute a video part for his full feature "Landscapes." Highly honored to be asked to participate in one of his projects, I accepted and began filming. Realizing that my riding would be showcased besides Simon and Viki -- both master-riders -- i knew that I had my work cut out for me. While filming I had 2 goals in mind: first, I knew that I had to "think out side of the box" in order to provide a good riding style contrast from Simon and Viki. Second, instead of being limited to only decades, I decided to incorporate them into a widely diverse group of tricks with hopes of displaying a more diverse mastery of the bike.
