“MITCH RADCLIFFE and the CLASSIC CREW present a new spring inspired BMX video filmed completely during march 2016 in London ON (one clip is filmed in Nashville, TN). With crayon drawings as the main source of this videos graphics and the smooth summery warm chords of “Heavens on Fire” by The Radio Dept. accompanying the silky style of Meech as he gracefully destroys every set up in his path with a giant smile on his face and wonder in his eyes. “I wanted to do something a little different with this video I have been stacking clips for my Classic dvd section for just over a year now and have already come up with around 20 minutes of footage to pick through with 2 years left on the project timeline. Needless to say I felt I had some time to change my focus for a short detour. I though it would be fun to see what kind of edit i could film in a month so I started filming two or 3 fun things every session that I had and then once i filled the timeline I stopped. Its refreshing to be able to share something new that I’m stoked on and had way too much fun making with my BMX brothers , family and friends. I included some behind the scenes footage with a monologue I wrote as a reminder of the things I feel while riding and an attempt to give some small glimpse of that to the outside world. Hopefully you are inspired by this video to go out and ride your city right after you finish reading this sentence!” – Mitch Radcliffe

Here’s the second instalment of some gallery I’m trying to put together filled with photos from my Nishika N8000, basically a 35mm camera made for shooting lenticular photos. This effect can be somewhat achieved simply by making gifs in photoshop.

These shots are mainly from a day riding street in Toronto after the X-Jam this year, along with a couple shots of early spring in Halifax.

 

  • Accidental double exposure which turned out neat
  • Asking for our contact info?
  • This guy thought we were going to make him and his corner store famous
  • Grown ass men putting stickers on bikes
  • Massive shout out to the guys at The Rise out of MTL for always giving us a place to crash and being a group of awesome humans.

We’ve been looking forward to this one since the T Sweet interview. Featuring Owen Dawson, Kyle White, Chad Ferch, Dylan Cross, Derek Morgan, Tristan Sweet, Drew Morton, Joel Dykstra and Adam Piatek, documented through the keen eye of Tristan Sweet, this does not disappoint. Take a look at the up and coming generation of Vancouver riders and you’ll like what you see.

The dude, Thomas, from the Team Luxury fam out of Guelph just dropped this tight video from a handful of days cruising the Joyride 150 street section, and it’s a definitely nice watch. I’ve always loved his style, line at 50 seconds is hella smooth.

Hit the team with a follow @weareteamluxury

Matt and I intended on filming a full skatepark video between Joyride, Spin and Taz during the week after X-Jam. Instead, we ended up taking advantage of nice weather and riding street, then being lazy at the parks. At Spin we decided to buck up and get at least a nice little five clips done, and here’s the result.
