Cult’s Dehart/Swain Storm Sweepstakes Winner
So a few months back Cult held the Dehart/Swain Storm video edit competition. Out of 50 edits submitted, Chase D. chose Ryan Olsons’s for the grand prize. The grand prize consisted of a (At the time not available yet) Chase Dehart Butter frame, fork, pedals, tons of stickers… And the bragging rights haha.
Personally could not think of a more deserving dude than Olson, has to be about the most dedicated/innovative street rider in the area. I’m more than certain you will hear more from him in the future.
So Olson hit me up a few weeks ago so we could go get a couple shots of his “Buttery” new rig and this is what we got, follow the link and hope you enjoy! http://www.cultcrew.com/butter-winner-ryan-olson
Here is the edit that got him the CULT winnings.

In Focus: Stabilizing Footage with Jason Hernandez
This In Focus with videographer Jason Hernandez is so helpful, especially when using DSLR’s which are much more susceptible to camera shake. Some really great advice is given here, and this should be viewed by anyone (everyone) looking to make their footage a little less shaky. One thing I found rather counterintuitive is to turn image stabilization off when using a tripod. Who knew?

Shooting With Minimal Gear
Skateboardphotography.com OG Matt Price shows you how to maximize the quality of your photographs with a minimal amount of essential gear. If you have a problem with skateboarding, just pretend he’s talking about BMX. If you don’t find this mildly entertaining, picture him as Jonah Hill. Watch this and put some shoelaces in your camera bag.

Kevin Kalkoff – Cover Story
“Soul Mags recent Kevin Kalkoff interview needed something a little bit special for the cover and Kevin’s long time friend Jhon Petit had something in mind. The spot in St Jean de Luz in the South of France is only ridable during low tide giving photographer Vince Perraud only a couple of hours to get the shot, this film shows you how it was done.” – Vans Europe
