What are you going to be looking for in 'The Circle' edits?
Hmmm, definitely creativity..
Which teams are you most excited to see videos from?
I'm honestly excited to see everyones! Video parts are so special, there's so much blood, sweat and passion that goes behind every project. This is such a cool opportunity to make a fun video with the homies for the world to see.
How important has your local BMX community been to you?
Growing up, the local BMX community was like family. My local shop growing up in NY, Eric's Cycle Works, was always helping me at the race track when I was a little kid and now, 15+ years later, I'm still friends with Eric! I personally think that having a local BMX community that cares and wants to see you grow is super important to flourishing a community.
You have filmed for heaps of videos throughout your career. Have you got any tips for the teams from a rider’s point of view?
Have fun with it :) Push yourself and use this as motivation to get that clip you've always wanted.
The Circle teams don’t have as long to film as most would for a usual video part. Have you ever been on a tight filming deadline, and how do you deal with it?
I feel like most of my videos have always had a tight deadline haha. For me personally when I have a tight deadline, I try to plan out my days with what I want to get. I always try to get done as much as I can, so when the deadline comes around I get to pick and choose what clips I want to use. Get focused and get to work!
