This is a collection of random footage from mid-November through very early March, encapsulating everything from my last bad crash to curb fufanus to way too many smith decades. I had way more clips but decided that self editing was a safe bet, so instead of 4 and a half minutes, it's shorter and scored to an old Self Defense Family song from a 4-way split EP. The song is called "Holy Trend" and I'm fairly certain that Patrick would be cool with me using it. I think I have to dedicate this one to the memory of my old friend Kevin Robinson, who passed away in December. I was pretty lost that first week after hearing the news and didn't know what else to do and of course, ended up getting some clips along the way....

The internet is a crazy place. News gets spread quickly and when BMX Mania's Jerry Landrum announced his retirement it spread like wildfire. Almost to the fact where it felt someone had died and people were writing good things about him. For sure it's nice that Jerry got to read all of the positive messages himself. I'm not sure where I met Jerry first. It was probably at Interbike where he, just like me, was looking at new bike parts, taking pics for his site and checking if someone would be into supporting his BMX Mania website which for the longest time was the 'go-to' website for the racing community, way before social media came alive. After 21 years of covering the sport of BMX racing it's time for Jerry to shift down a couple of gears and spend some time with his grandkids and he's got a
