15 Shots. Recently Mike T Schmitt made me aware of a thing called “sprocket photography”. Basically shooting full bleed on rolls of 35mm. I already had a medium format camera, my Hasselblad 503CX, but had to order a 35mm adapter to shoot on that 120mm camera. The results were what you see in this video and the links within this post. This made me remember why I love shooting film in the first place. Thanks for being here and we’ll see you soon. 🙂
Riders: Johnathan Ball, Marco Marquez, Deacon Wong, & Oscar Lopez
The best part about riding fixed gear is figuring out the footwork. Some spots require more than others, but having your friends cheering on the sideline sure does help. Check out a bunch of screenshots below.
Reunited and it feels so gooood. During this time I had just finished a major job and was enjoying my first weekend back with the boys. With a lot of the usual suspects in SF or the day we had our fun doing what we usually do. Having fun, riding bikes & looking for a place in this world to be ourselves. Break fake rules. Enjoy every moment of every day and tell your friends you love them. Be good and we’ll see you next time.
Fixed Gear Los Angeles. More specifically Broadway in the middle of DTLA. Guillermo Galindo & I did some laps up and down one of the more iconic streets in LA. We shot this right before I moved and I’m sure glad we did because it brings back some fond memories. Thanks for being here and joining us on this adventure through life.
Fixed Gear Bike check of the homie Bryan Dempler’s Low Track build. Bryan recently moved from San Francisco to LA. As we packed up the van we realized that there wasn’t going to be enough room to fit his bike. So I rode it to my house. Where it sat. For months… and months. Enough months that it collected some serious dust and feathers sitting in my bedroom. Recently I was able to get it back to him, but before I did I decided to shoot this bike check in Chinatown as a final sendoff.

Filmed in 2017, this was a video I made but never released. After taking a short hiatus from posting videos, I figured I’d share something from the unseen archives. All the follow shots in this were filmed with a glide cam & skateboard. Comment the first familiar face you see in this video. 🙂 Thanks for being here and I’ll see you on the next upload.

2019 Demo Reel – MMXIX Twenty nineteen was a great year for us. We traveled about the cabin, making films in New York, Germany, Los Angeles, Portland, and of course San Francisco. 3 of which were featured at the Bicycle Film Festival that year. We shook each other’s hands, embraced one another, got together in mass, and had our share of laughs. We climbed hills, dodged rain drops, rode fast, and watched time pass by. Thank you all for being here on this journey through life and I look forward to making more memories together.
Right before I left Los Angeles I started riding with JBALL, Oscar & Marco a lot. It was great having them around to get me back into riding my FGFS bike again. Here’s a montage of the 4 of us that could better be summarized as a video of JBALL with us making quick guest appearances along the way. Thanks for being here, reading this and joining us on this journey through life. We appreciate you.
