Even though I was mad at the ABA for a decade for kicking me out of an event for riding Flatland, I can admit that BMX racing is probably the most intensely physical thing you can do on a bike. F'ing hard for sure.

Much respect to the greg hills, Pistol Petes, Cru Jones and Tom Durretts of our BMX world. #roots

Via Flickr:
Part of a Visual History of BMX Freestyle, Evolution/Revelation right here in FLICKR

This air is one of the most wicked looking tricks to witness in person -on Vert. This photo was taken by me, on my first basic 35mm camera that I got for graduation. It had no zoom and an auto-focus but nothing else. By this time I'd started studying media in college and had been a journalist/photographer in high school. Somehow I lucked out and developed an eye for great shots. More than anything I enjoy capturing amazing moments in time.

This was before the era of tricks so mindblowing that you'd previously only did them in video games. Watching Dennis McCoy and Mat Hoffman show us all what REAL Vert riding was all about, is still one of the most impressive things I've ever witnessed.

Dennis McCoy is also one of the most talented FLATLAND riders that I've ever seen.

Most people know DMC as a Vert rider. But I knew about Dennis when he was an all-around rider. That's Flatland and Vert competition. This pic was taken at the old Hoffman Bikes warehouse/ramps.. this was before ESPN came into the picture. It was just a bunch of riders pushing the limits and expanding the sport. September 1993.

PS:

On the next set of airs, Dennis dis-located his shoulder and collided full speed with the person standing next to me, off the ramp!! Missed me by about a foot, that was intense.

Evolution / Revelation, a visual history of Freestyle 1987-Present

A special new media project (work in progress) in conjunction with BMXDigital dot com and TENEYCK MEDIA

Before the X-Games and signature video games, riders all over the planet pushed BMX to new heights and helped plant action sports into the mainstream of pop culture.

In the fad-filled years of Cold War, Reganomics, Exxon Valdez, and the fall of the Berlin Wall: riders around the world began to trash their neon factory uniforms and take back the sport, one rider-owned-company at a time.

EVOLUTION / REVELATION is a collection of newly-digitized BMX Freestyle days gone by and a recent snapshot of the modern Flatland scene in North America. We traveled 7500 miles and began this project three years ago. What a ride! This is a work in progress and we are seeking collaboration!

So far we’ve gotten rights and published the Haro and GT demo tapes and currently have a STACK of old tapes to digitize and add to collection. We need your old school Freestyle footage, stills, graphics, and stories. 1987 to the Present

Submit your tapes and photos today! GT@TenEyckMedia.com

Suffering In silence

2010-11-17T10:34:00.000-08:00

Today I found myself weeping for the tragic loss of someone I never even met.

It seems that in these tumultuous times more and more of our brothers and sisters are suffering in silence. Whether the despair comes from the long lasting scars of life, ( like hazing/bullying, war etc.) from crisis of identity, or whether stricken with the disease of depression, far too many young people are giving up on life and ending it all.

Having felt extreme highs and lower 'lows' in life I totally understand those feelings. But I also understand that no matter what hand we are dealt in life, there is always a better solution than giving up.

The worst day of your life is still better than no life at all. Whatever your calling or purpose in life, God did not put us here to quit. Finishing the 'game' so to speak is our most important calling as human beings.

If you still have air in your lungs then you have all you need to start changing things for the better and to seek help!

Do not suffer in silence. There are enough things in this world that could potentially kill us, don't speed up the process!

Each day is another chance to turn it all around.

Let's talk.

Rant complete. Thx for listening

Tales From The Eighties: Lake Jumpin '89

2010-10-12T09:23:00.000-07:00

Tales From The Eighties: Lake Jumpin '89

As thrill-seeking, BMX punks, my friends and I would do things in our riding and in our off time that were less-than-advisable-like most young people.

We rode without helmets and did stunts riding our bikes down the middle of downtown streets, on one wheel, no handed, and in the dark.

We made a skatepark out of any street, supermarket, or drainage ditch we could find. One of my old BMX pals -who now flies jets for a living- was seriously injured just before I met him, attempting a jump. We still never wore helmets.

Rent-a-Cops scorned over a few handrail grinds and skidmarks on the marble. We didn't care about the cops, we were street riders! A few of my bolder comrades would carve wall rides on the inclined lower story of the old Bank One tower in Downtown Fort Worth.

Before it was destroyed by a tornado and remodeled into condos, the glass incline at the Bank One tower was actually the roof to the basement level of the building. Nobody ever considered that it was a one story drop if you were to fall through.

One of our favorite summer hobbies,back in the day, was known as lake jumping. I grew up on a pretty large lake in Tarrant County called Eagle Mountain. Close to my house were many boathouses and very long docks. Most were unattended the majority of the time.

On particularly hot Texas days, we would drag a small ramp down to the end of the dock. Then, riding a bike with a life jacket strapped to the handlebars, you'd take off pedaling down the dock, as fast as possible- With no life preserver of course **with shoes.

You had to hope that the bike didn't sink and that you didn't get knocked out or tangled in the bike as you landed in the lake water. If you got a good enough jump, you could do tricks never possible when jumping for real. Most riders these days flip into the foam pit to practice..we on the other hand were bored..so we went swimming with our bikes.

Tales From The Eighties

Dorkin' Roots, and DMC

2010-10-12T08:33:00.000-07:00

Today in my messenger bag I have stashed the Dorkin' In York DVD Box Set.
After starting off with Dorkin' 4, I must say that I'm still totally impressed. Even more so, in some cases because the footage is so much clearer on DVD and look at the bikes! Consider how much different and how much heavier bikes were back then!

Even footage from 15 years ago still contains a pretty familiar set of tricks. Most of the stuff Kevin was pulling ten years ago, is just now catching up in some cases. And the places that new riders have taken those original tricks are truly incredible. Kevin Jones still matters kids.

As I went through the different eras of the Dorkin' videos I was reminded of how authoritative Kevin Jones is as a rider.

My favorite thing about Mind Blown Jones- is that in person, he's just a normal looking dude from Pennsylvania.

You'd never know that the guy buying a Tasty Cake and Yoohoo already mastered and pulled your best run 10 years ago, alone in a parking lot, on a random Tuesday.. before you even dreamed about riding.

I really appreciate modern flatland style and the amazing progression flatland has experienced, but I will always be partial to the classic style of the Plywood Hoods. It's the style of riding that inspired me the most over the years and if I can pull one trick with the authority that Kevin Jones throws into every move, then I feel like I've accomplished something. Know your roots!
Next up, breaking in my rebuilt Sick Child and learning Dennis McCoy-style G-turns/G-string whiplashes.

Talk about an impressive sumbitch! I rode down the late-night-streets of Austin in '90 watching Dennis coast Hang-Five's at 30mph and manuals along the tops of random walls. Total control.

Ridden any flatland lately Dennis?? Let's ride

I'd pay to watch DMC bust out G-strig whiplashes, G-Turns, and hanglider-boomerang varations.

Texas Flatland Roundup 2010 is in history and the first batch of stills are uploading now.

This year's roundup was one for the books and one of the best comps in a long time. Texas does not disappoint in the area of pure BMX skill. There are so many GREAT riders in Texas and those who could make it this year rode their asses off today.

The master of bike control, and DK pro Dane Beardsley came in from Athens to take home the win and the CASH with some fresh cross footed action and ultimate chill style.

Also in the house and going off were London rider Will Redd, 2nd place, and local fave Dave Weathersby rounding out the top three.

More coverage and video coming soon! While you're at BMX Digital, take a look at the TON of video we've traveled far and wide to get and the photo archive over on FLICKR..Home of Evolution Revelation, a visual history of Freestyle.

Now on Vimeo and Facebook! September Update, Evolution Revelation '87, '89

2010-09-01T22:22:00.000-07:00

In the latest segment of Evolution Revelation, we flash back to 1987 and the Velodrome world-record shoot. Most notable this day was maximum TV cheese in which producers insisted that Josh White got the highest air. Brian Blyther clearly went higher. Very high-tech method of measurement I must say.

Blyther finally did get the official record and held it..until Hoffman came along. This event is a great snapshot of uniforms and big dollars. The drastic change in the industry from 87 to 89 is so obvious in this old footage.
Next, witness 1989: AFA Masters in Austin, Texas. This ancient arena in Austin has been the venue for some serious BMX history over the years. Pretty intense competition for a 'dead' sport.In the year of bashguards and the street-riding-craze, flatlanders were still busting out and taking tricks well beyond Cherrypickers and Miami-Hoppers.

Spring 2010 Update!
4/23/2010
Spring has sprung and the sun has finally returned to Fort Worth- following a wet, snowy, start to the year. 2009 was big for us and our work continues in 2010.
Last year the focus was squarely upon documenting as many North American Freestyle events as possible.

Our first goal was to contribute to the mass, popular, exposure of Freestyle on the web and to gather footage to be included in the Evolution Revelation project- a visual history of freestyle since 1987.

This year the focus is on gathering as much vintage footage and photos as possible to paint a more vivid picture of where Freestyle has been in the past 30 years.
TenEyck Media/TNM Group is still accepting tapes, files, photos, and any media related to BMX Freestyle in the last three decades for use in Evolution Revelation.

We are also accepting written work, artwork, or anything else concerning the obsession that is BMX.

Got footage or photos?

let's see it!

So it's 2009 and you've just spent the past 15 years or so either working, going to school (partying), or pursuing your chosen profession.

You were one of the most experienced guys in the office and confident in your job security. Life inside a yellow and purple cubicle at a major internet company was pretty good. Twin 60inch plasma screens in the lunch room? check. Foosball tables? check. Crazy stories & shocking revelations?? *see confidentiality agreement =)

You had just completed some pretty expensive training on the company dime and were ready settle in for an easy summer of NCAA Women's softball archives, Nascar press conferences, and Disney electronic press kits. Skating down easy street,

Until...

One day, as you walk into the office with your sack lunch and designer messenger bag in tow, your boss and security are waiting for you at the front door.

"Can you come with us please?"

There is no mistake as to where you are going now: to an unmarked conference room, located outside the secure interior of the office to meet with 'HR' Nice touch.

Scenes like this have played out a million times, just this year in the United States.

Suddenly, I too am an unemployment statistic.

The neat, clean, and concise pink slip read something like: 'As you have been informed'..'your position has been eliminated' "career transition", "future endeavors", etc, etc.

Now what?

Don't Panic, Get a Grip!

It's bad news, but not the end of the world. If you got lucky and received severance benefits or even if you didn't, take advantage of this sudden time off to unwind, relax, and get some rest. This is key.

Getting laid-off is a major life event, yes. But you've most likely been busting your tail for years and perhaps slowly losing touch with reality in the process. Take some time off, get some sleep, and enjoy yourself for once. When the shock wears off; take a long, careful look at yourself, your goals, and where you'd like to go next professionally. Most of the people I know who have been laid-off earlier this year say that it was the best thing that ever happened to them, from a motivational standpoint. Just the kick they needed, so to speak.

The daily grind of work tends to separate professionals from the activities and people that they love. Now that you've got some serious spare time on your hands, get out, see the country, visit family, and plug back into the reason you were working in the first place. Take a road trip.

I bought my tickets to the Bonnaroo music festival the day after I received my layoff notice. Needless to say, Bonnaroo was the ultimate way to relax after over a decade of continuous employment. I took 12 days and drove cross-country from Dallas to Nashville to New York City to Atlanta and back to Dallas. I visited friends along the way and made a few new ones. Vacation is exactly what I needed to reset myself

The droning routine of professional life can tend to make people lose touch. Networking can get you everywhere, especially while you are searching for a new gig. Plug back in and start talking to people.

Get Back In Shape

You'll be competing against kids half your age for jobs, better be sharp, better LOOK sharp. It seems that everyone is on a fad diet of some sort these days, but seriously. It's well past time to get your body and your mind back in order. It's never too late to feel great and look good again. The stress and rigors of life are much easier to tackle from a place of health. And besides, looks count, no doubt.

The competition for jobs is fierce with so many job seekers. Although it shouldn't really matter, your appearance can make or break your job chances sometimes. I'm not talking about getting juiced up and hitting the gym hours per day or starving yourself.

I'm talking about finding some form of physical activity or sport that you love and getting out there. The gym isn't for everyone. That's ok. Play soccer, ride bikes, whatever- just get active. It does wonders.

Get yourself moving and you'll be surprised at how fast you can get back into decent shape with a little effort. Eat less, exercise more. It works.

Wellness looks fantastic
