Here is a roundup of some favorite photos from 2019.  They include shots from a visit home to Catty Woods; a trip to Orcas Island; a road trip to Tahoe, Utah, and Boise shooting new projects and helping with the build at Woodward Park City for Alpine Bike Parks; scenes from here in the PNW; and probably my favorite thing to shoot – Swampfest, which I had published in Victory Journal, Issue 17: “Outliers” (2019).  I also just released a zine called Groundbreaker commemorating the two Portland trail spots that were plowed. The original print run of 100 copies sold very quickly.  I’m currently feeling out doing a second print run for those who missed out.  Also hoping to build a new trail spot this year, and hence have some trails to shoot!

In early January, something by the name of BURN SLOW started circulating on BMX social media via stories and regrams, largely from Austin peeps. It was vague, but still seemed exciting. Naturally, we had heard some things, but I decided to go straight to the source for more info, Adam Roye.

Mike Netley has just put together a new zine under the Case brand, and was kind enough to send over a little sneak peek of it. If you’re not familiar with Case, click HERE for more on the previous issues.

According to Mike:

This new zine features photos from the past 4 years. From chilled sessions at the trails, to road trips through France and the USA and everything in-between. I might add there’s no words in this zine, minus photo captions.

Click below for a sneak peak inside the issue, then head HERE to grab the full deal (free shipping in the UK). You can also swoop a copy from the Source in Hastings and The Central Library. Also, should any shops want to stock this, then shoot Mike an email at casebmxmagazine@gmail.com for info.
