Q&A: Walter Pieringer vs. Jay Roe

When Brian Yeagle contributed his recent interview with Walter Pieringer, he inadvertently kicked off a project I’ve been meaning to start for some time.

The idea is basically to do an ongoing interview of sorts, where the previous interviewee goes on to interview someone of their choosing. So Brian Yeagle interviewed Walter Pieringer, and now Walter has chosen to interview Jay Roe.

Click below to check that out.

Enjoy!

Deadline

Seeing as premiere info for the Deadline video has surfaced, I don’t see a better reason to repost the trailer for it. I love this trailer and can not wait to see the video.

Disregard that “Fall 2012″ stuff.

Zines, Zines, Zines.

zines, bmx, union press, yo sick, the pandect, DBZ

Lot’s of creative and interesting people from the BMX-osphere often send their zines my way. It’s a nice gesture and it’s always cool to flip through these things and get a glimpse into certain scenes or a particular persons thoughts, ramblings, doodles etc… These things are generally labors of love and you can tell.

Below are some zines that I’ve gotten recently, and not so recently. I would easily recommend checking any of these out, should you be into this sort of thing. Any support for these projects is always appreciated I’m sure.

Union Press – More of a newspaper than a zine, but falls in line with the category. Well done and large posters to be had.

Noumenal Room – From the mind of DBZ. The description on his site says it all. Interesting reads and visuals.

Yo Sick – From Prashant Gopal. Full of photos, illustrations and plenty of stuff to keep your eyeballs occupied.

The Pandect – From Cory Beal. Cool interviews, photos and nice layout.

We posted on Adam Roye’s goodies previously, and check out Ryan Connelly’s ICE COLD (which can be viewed online).

Thanks dudes!

Behind The Scenes: Animal / Argentina

I wanna hang with Jared Washington.

From Navaz:
The Animal team is by far one of my favorite teams to film and travel with, thanks to them I’ve been all over the world. We went to Buenos Aires, Argentina back in March to finish up filming for their upcoming QSS#5 video. In between clocking clips we did a few signings and rode street with hundreds of kids. The scene in Buenos Aires is one of a kind and we were lucky enough to be welcomed into it with enthusiasm. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to travel with the Animal crew, this video is a little taste of the hilarity and good times. Look for the best riding footage from the trip in QSS#5 team video parts.” -Ryan Navazio

QSS#5 features full parts from Tom White, Dave Belcher, Jared Washington, and Steven Hamilton. With appearances from the rest of the Animal squad. Watch it for free, online May 17, 2013.
