RIDE + STYLE 2012 | CAMERA MEN

Photographers John Watson and Matt Lingo were at Red Bull Ride + Style w/ their guns in hand. Ready to capture and shoot all the pain, glory, blood sweat, and action that went down at the event. This is one of the few times a year that everyone is drawn together to spend time riding + hanging out with one another. It’s great to see people that I feel are my close friends, but never get to see.

RIDE + STYLE 2012 | GUS MOLINA

Gus Molina brought some flavor to Red Bull Ride + Style, pulling tricks that most people would never even think of. Take this foot plant tailwhip for example. I’m pretty sure this was the only whip that went down this year, and I don’t think anybody expected it from Gus. Always great to see you man.

RIDE + STYLE 2012 | JOE 540

Everyone knows Joe McKeag can flick his bike around like it’s no big deal. This photo of him really shows how much spin and twisting it takes to get that bike around. His head is already all the way around, as he anticipates the landing.

RIDE + STYLE 2012 | FAMILY

John Watson recently released a collection of photos that he took at the 2nd annual Red Bull Ride + Style. This one is by far my favorite out of the set, and shows cases what these events are all about. Bringing together riders + friends from all over the world to spend the day doing what we do best. Riding bikes & hanging out.

RIDE + STYLE 2012 | ANTONYO

Antonyo Wothe is the man when it comes to foot jams and stall combos. Here’s a couple photos of him doing what he does best at yesterdays Red Bull Ride + Style event. Rocking that tropical button up and American headband so hard. The addition of the jumbotron this year made the event feel so much more official.

RIDE + STYLE 2012 | BACKFLIP

Yesterday Joshua Boothby laid down some of the cleanest backflips I’ve ever seen at the 2nd annual Red Bull Ride + Style. I was blown away by the level of progression from last year. Everyone rode so hard it was unbelievable some of the shit that went down. The ramps this year were on point and pushed everyone to dig deep and see what they’re capable of. I can’t wait for someone to bust a flip riding street.

THE BICYCLE SEAT

If you’re ever tired from riding, and just need a place to sit down, then look no further than the bike between your legs. With this tried and true technique, you’ll be able to pop a squat wherever you may be. Good conditions, bad conditions, the bicycle seat has you covered. Try it now while our limited time offer of Free99 still stands.

SHREDWELL2 PROMO

The Grime put together this teaser of our up and coming full length, Shredwell2. I’ve dedicated the last 4+ months of filming this video, with the help of Mike, Hambone, and SKYLMT‘s very own Colby Elrick. Everybody broke themselves off and went hard for this one. I have so much more faith in the people I ride w/ after spending time filming with them. We’ll be premiering a rough cut of the video at Red Bull Ride + Style. I’ll keep you posted on the time and location of the screening.

OSCAR KAHN | SAN JOSE

Oscar Kahn recently showed up in San Jose without warning for the Red Bull Ride + Style competition at the end of the month. I spent some time on Saturday riding w/ the man from across the pond. Oscar has one of the best personalities in Fixed Freestyle. He’s a bloody fucking riot to say the least, and is always doing something ridiculous. be on the look out for more of Oscar riding California in the months to come.

CARDIEL X CHROME PARTY

I filmed this video of the Cardiel x Chrome release party, at their store front in SF. With the shop stacked full of people, beer, and good music everyone let loose + chopped it up on the dance floor. Even the guys from Fish N’ Chips made an appearance to teach us Americans some new dance moves. This had to be the craziest Chrome party I’ve ever been to, and most certainly not the last.
