2012 was interesting. I moved from Long Beach to Austin, and for whatever reason ended up shooting way less “real” photos than I did in years past. I still carried a camera around a bunch and accumulated some goodies, but ended up with a lot less this year. For real, I’m blaming Instagram (in a good way). No matter the medium, we still have images. This collection of photos is a mix of camera and iPhone pics that I took throughout 2012. Enjoy!

It should be clear by now that we’re fans of Edwin De La Rosa around here. With that said, our boy hooked up a handful of photos that he shot throughout 2012 for a gallery. These photos play out like a cruise through New York with other various moments sprinkled in. Thanks Ed!

Stew Johnson has taken on the task of heading up a documentary on Brian Foster, one of the most respected and all around legends of BMX. That’s not blog intro fluff, BF is a cot damn respected BMX legend and awesome individual. The documentary is aptly named, BF-it.

Stew has been secretly (as best as he could) working on this doc for the better part of this year, and the final outcome is fantastic. I tip my hat to Stew for putting BF-it together and to BF for being BF. I have since seen BF-it after sending these questions to Stew and I can’t wait for fans of BMX to see it.

Click below to check out a Q&A with Stew Johnson about it all.

Over the summer, the etnies and Cinema crews rented an apartment in Portland for 10 days and proceeded to grace the city with their 20″ mastery. The crew consisted of Corey Martinez, Chase Dehart, Tony Neyer, Sean Sexton and Dakota Roche.

Evidence of said 20″ mastery can be SEEN RIGHT HERE.

In addition, we have a gallery of this trip that Povah compiled of Instagram pics from all of the crew. Click below to check that out.

I shot this grind to barspin with Biz last season while were were out doing some Verde stuff in Jason Enns’ neighborhood. Super chill day and nothing out of the ordinary except stomping through a horse corral to get here and a homeless guy sleeping under a tree a few feet away. Of course there were Mike Escamilla jokes flying left and right when were setting up the picnic table next to the monkey bars, but it was definitely a tribute to Mike’s school yard set-ups more than anything. This landing was a little bouncy which made it weird for Biz to land over and over, but first time he spun the bars we got the photo dipped out.

DIG recently sent advertisers a private email informing them of the magazines future re-launch plans. These plans include a shift in editorial direction, magazine size and making it available free through bike shops (while still being available on newsstands). These changes will take place with the next issue which will be available in September, and each issue will be treated as a “special edition” and follow a central theme.

I’m a super DIG fan and look forward to whatever they’re cooking up.

To avoid any misinformation on all this, I hit up Will Smyth (DIG’s founder) with some questions about it all. Click below to check it out.
