Nike 6.0 Commercial

Nike 6.0 BMX

The Nike 6.0 team stuck around Portland after the Dew Tour to do some filming for a commercial promoting their DVD titled Evolution. The commercial was based off of some old found 1950’s film footage that involves a classroom and chalkboard animation. We have a few photos of the shoot thanks to Sierra from Nike! It’s funny because looking at these pics and seeing the guys with hats on makes me think back to being in school when you weren’t allowed to wear hats in class… So funny!! What’s even funnier is Dennis Enarson went from sitting in this fake class pretending to be in school, to an actual class, where he really is in school… I wonder what the kids in his classes think of him… Dennis is the best!

Check out some photos from the shoot after the jump - Continue Reading »

Pop Music Marketing

cbtwin

A few months ago I made my friend Eden listen to the chopped and screwed remix of Usher’s/Young Jeezy’s “Love in this Club”. She told me she had been hearing a lot of rumors that makers of gross snack foods like Fritos and Wrigley’s had been paying artists to sneak their marketing tag lines into their songs, and that “Love in This Club” was one such song.

Read this article that Eden forwarded me. Granted, it’s mostly pop artists like Chris Brown and NeYo doing this, so it’s not like Ghostface is hawking these just yet, but this evolution in advertising is interesting nonetheless.

Epic Steven Hamilton Update

A very interesting Steven Hamilton updated just poped up on the Federal site. Steven sent over a bunch of photos and has a bunch of wild stories about different cars he’s owned and some news about what he’s been up to lately. Definitely worth ten minutes of your day… I don’t think we could ever get enough Steven Hamilton.

Check out the post on the Federal site here.

Freestylin’ Book Online

Not sure where this came from, but the Freestylin’ book, that I actually got to check out in person this past weekend, is now online. I was really blow away by the whole project and like David Lang said on his blog, Nike deserves props for supporting this whole project. I know there is people out there hating on the whole Nike thing, but who else would put up the money for a project like this. The book is so in depth and there are sooooo many great photos in there. My favorite part might be the collection of old zines… It really got me psyched on just being creative in general… It’s funy to think about, but blogs are our generations zine… isn’t that weird??

Anyway, check out the pdf version of Freestylin’ here.

Metro Jam

So, Metro Jam is going down in Kingston, ON this weekend. Kingston is about 2.5 hours outside of Toronto and just over 2 hours from Syracuse. It’s all going down in conjunction with the Kingston Bike Festival and there will be a BMX race and dirt contest going down the following weekend, September 6th and 7th. The race is called ERA and will be pretty damn dope. No clipless pedals, pro only, on a super fun track. I even heard a rumor about a race with all the freestyle guys! All the events are going to be super fun and if you should do everything you can to make it out.

Check out all the info on the sites - kingstonbikefestival.com, metrobmxjam.com, erabmx.com
