My Ride from Los Angeles to Carpinteria
On Sunday I completed my most challenging ride ever. It wasn’t my longest ride- it was close- but with an additional ~40 pounds of gear strapped to my bike it made the effort wildly more difficult. From my place near DTLA it was 94 miles to Carpinteria State Beach Campgrounds. Read about the entire adventure here.

“Drone Flash”
In this video photographer David Robinson hooks an Elinchrom flash to a drone to get some spectacular lighting on his MTB shoot. I don’t think this will necessarily catch on as a trend but hey, it’s cool and different. Thanks to Zach Honahan for sending this in.
DIG – “Split Personality” Mike Manzoori Interview
DIG caught up with the one-and-only Mike Manzoori to talk about his current project with etnies and switching between roles in BMX and skateboarding. A couple quotes I pulled-
“The landscape of videos has changed. ‘Grounded’ was a DV project. The level of video production has been raised since ‘Grounded’. We’ve been flooded with amazing toys that are now affordable, so you can get higher level production quality without spending a fortune… I feel a lot more pressure on me to do good. It’s not just capturing the tricks, but telling a whole story. It’s a lot more fun.”
“…the last few years I’ve been trying to shake the fisheye. Every video, skate or bike, has a lot of fisheye shots. It has it’s place, but it’s nice to leave that lens until you really need it and see what else you can do.”
