Chris was one of the first people i met when i came to london which happened to be on the first shoot of One More Brew with the Aversion Crew. The session ended by the sketckest 3 mile cycle back to the station in the pitch black, pouring rain, into the wind, down a 60 limit mid winter, fighting oncoming cars, fearing for our lives.
For you kids who want the big names, he was the lad that shot the Harry Mein blow up cover and has written the article “how to take a bmx photo” featured in the photographers edition of ride uk coming out soon.
You should check out Chris’s website as well at Quis.cc its pretty sweet!
I’ve been following product designer Harry Hasson’s Blog Shoot Design for a while now and have really enjoyed having a browse so i thought i’d share it with you. I find ingenious products interesting but wouldn’t say its my most googled subject, its real good just to nip over to Harry’s blog and see what he’s been reserching.
Some of the product idea’s are fascinating and there are range of products that we can afford as well as slightly more expensive ones.
The lads at Hardcore Hobbies have just drafted up another flyer and this years jam is kicking off on Sunday 19th July from 12-7, free entree, skate and bmx.

Kyle and crew from LS6 have been to Madrid the fancy gits, im stuck here in England while people are having far too much fun in the foreign lands. Its time to get the passport sorted and dust off the old bike bag. Video features riding from Liam Oakes, Kyle Harvey, Joe Bailey and Ben Murphy.
I’ve got no idea why or how it took me so long to post this, but here it is, the video from last months JDM Allstars comp in Newcastle! Note cringeworthy interview footage, the video was made for Red Bull and all credits go to Mr Tom Finch!
This weekend has been the flipping bomb! So much has been happening in the space of three days that I didn’t have enough time before I set off on the drive up North to be able to post about what I saw on the net on Friday.
Nike 6.0 Media Apprentice entry by Black Cube on Vimeo blew me away! Its been obviously well thought out, with the production in mind. Its not just a case of going out with your mates pointing the lens, using the latest pop tune in the charts and sticking it together on windows movie maker. This video looks like its been planned, angles were marked out on the ground, possibly even a story board was made of how it was going to be shot. The edit was tight with a equally tight choice of music and I have no idea what equipement they used to shoot all this but the level of detail in some shots was awsome. One other touch I liked was that maybes sound as well as vision was of equal importance, you’ll notice a couple of clips where the sound of whats happening around the rider has been focused on.
To be honest if this doesn’t get first place in the Nike comp then im sure we will be seeing more from this dude maybes on our TV screens in the future. Next music video director of the near future?
