A brief interview with a modern day legend, we find out where it all started where it went and how it is. Not all the pics in the video are of the actual pics spoken of. The sound is dubbed over the first 3 minutes like a 70s kung fu film, technical nightmares!
The Halahan Brothers. Lukas (15), Nathan (13), and Shane (8) got every kid's dream opportunity - to ride with their favorite pros. Only these pros weren't the once you'd expect. When asked who they'd be most stoked to ride with, first up came the name Garrett Byrnes, someone who's age is more than these three combined, and no doubt would have been the choice of most of the DIG family. Follow along as the boys head to New Jersey and New York City and get to sample some of the lifestyle that has carved out Garrett’s persona. They meet up and ride with the man himself, taking in city streets to skateparks, DIY ramps, trails, and more of Garrett’s favorite spots. Trey Jones said it right at Swamp Fest - if you think BMX sucks nowadays, just look at these three dudes. Keep your eyes peeled for episode two soon... The Halahan Bro’s are proudly supported by DIG partners Profile Racing and Vans.
Garrett is one of those guys who we at DIG have long considered to be a true BMX legend and someone whose inspiration continues to operate at a different level than what is perceived as the norm. In fact, riders like Garrett and his ilk are the motivational backbone of our near 25 year existence as a BMX media outlet. This film is simply our way of showing respect for that inspiration and continued motivation.
