SFRC Alley Sweeper 2013: “GET OFF MY LAWN!”
Alright, it may be slightly delayed… but I finished my video from the 2013 Sang-Froid Riding Club Alley Sweeper Urban Enduro. After the event I did a mini status update with photos of the damage to the bike and myself after wrecking it twice. Now it’s time to answer the question posed to me via instagram, facebook, AND twitter: “Can you explain to me how that’s fun?” Sure… riding through mud, potholes, gravel, grass, and whatever else you happen upon is not for the faint of heart. It’s for the motorcyclists who… Continue Reading »
Film: Out of Nothing
The magic of Bonneville Salt Flats and land speed racing there is mentioned often around these parts. During my 2012 trip to the BUB speed trials and Bonneville, I had the good fortune to meet a very talented photographer and videographer, Chad DeRosa. He and I both had the same mission- capture the magic of the salt flats and Sodium Distortion race team. Our end vision however was very different- he was filming for “Out of Nothing,” an epic tale of four men forging land speed records. While I bounced around the… Continue Reading »
Sometimes motorcycling and marketing are mated perfectly… as seen in the Nudist Motorcycle Safety PSA video. The same is true for this Shark helmet video. The difference between real protection and a false feeling of safety is shown in stark contrast in this somewhat extreme motorcycle helmet test.

Nicolai Sclater, aka OrnamentalConifer (blog), is a British graphic designer gone sign painter. Back in december I posted photos of hand painted leather jackets by Ornamental Conifer.

Nicolai is a talented designer with a very steady hand. His art helps express the soul of the pieces he is decorating whether it be a helmet, jacket, or motorcycle. The Art of Signpainting with… Continue Reading »
Video: As the Sun Sets
A video about the somber feeling one gets when riding season comes to a close- when we often hold on to each last moment the sun is still kissing the asphalt and the roads are still dry. Hopping on a motorcycle after work for even the shortest jaunt can be a meditative experience. Filmed over the course of two days, I did my best to explain to Taylor what I was conveying with the footage of him riding Skyline at Sunset. Most of my explanations came out in somewhat fragmented sentences… but… Continue Reading »
Music Video: Birdy Nam Nam – Defiant Order
Motorcycles and an unexpected love story- my eyes welled up with tears at the end and simply because the content in this video is everything I love. Men love ladies who can RIDE! Birdy Nam Nam has been a favorite band of mine for a few years now. Their music is really quite amazing, especially if you observe the way they mix music between multiple DJs. But now they took it one step further and combined riding and stunting motorcycles in inclimate weather and motorcycling women. Plus… fire, and burnouts…. …and love. … Continue Reading »
