AOTC 5×5

A couple of the AOTC guys have come up with a cool new little video project.  Basically, they consist of five 5 second clips from either our iphones, or maybe some leftover footage from one of our DLSR’s. Combine those clips with a 5 second intro, and you’ve got the 5×5. CB Coombs came up with the concept and films a lot of the random iPhone clips. Chris Zeppieri puts most of them together, and Adam Spitalny did the intro art, which in my opinion is pretty sweet. I think it’s a cool idea, since not all the clips are riding based. It’s really a short look into the “behind the scenes” of AOTC. Check them all out here.

Hey, I’m Lucas D’Angelo, and I’m going to be writing up some posts for Pushitstop.  I do a lot of video work, mostly as a filmer/editor for AOTC among other things.  A little bit ago, my good friend Chris Saunders posted a piece on here about the Personal Photography project, so I decided to write up a short piece on the Personal Video Project, which I posted to the AOTC site.  However, it seems like it would be more at home here.  To keep from reposting an entire article on a different site, you can read the original post here.  Enjoy!

I really don’t understand how this works…

BMX ‘zines

A good write-up on ESPN by Nick Ferreira about the DIY mags still making rounds in the community. It’s nice to see the initiative some people take to create these; I’ve never had the attention span.

The Selvedge Yard

Still feeling horrible from my ankle injury as well, I’ve got plenty of roaming time on the internet. This was spotted over at defgrip, and seriously stole 30 minutes of my time before I realized it. From vintage Playboy to  ancient tattoo art, there should be something you can enjoy as well. It’s full of interesting photos and includes great information about them as well.

One article that grabbed my attention was called bikes-bikinis-beer & beach. It details bike week in Daytona Beach, Florida quite a few years back.
