What a roster of riders, the kind of thing I dont think we'll see again. Filmed and edited by Edd Allen to the tune of perfection in my opinion. Park edits are a dying (or dead??) breed these days but anyone'd be hard-pressed to top this

Watching this and other DVD's from that time back I really feel the filming and editing we see in edits now is so sub-par compared to the 5dmkii and Vimeo era. Joe Simon really was lightyears ahead of the curve
I'm not surprised about Peraza pulling this BS. Garrett diluting us like we're some sort of team sport tho? It's a sad day
It's looking a bit bleak out there... Know a core store? Give them a shout below!
Also incase you missed the memo - fuckthesoucefuckthesourcefuuuuuuuckthesource
From sourcing your own bearings online for the driver to being able to buy a WTP hybrid and not touch it ever. Beautiful
Anyone heard from George French on bikeguide about when the gSport coaster is coming out though?
Sandy Carson is an un-sung hero of the scene. Another member of the early DIG editorial and photo staff who were seemingly always in the mix of everything you actually wanted to see at the time. Having a section in Grounded is wild, I really enjoy snakebite hitting us with these nostalgic reminders
Sandy's coolest moment tho.. Featuring in the first road fools and also alongside another Scot, photographer Ed Doherty. A new epicentre would form - an unrivalled and absurd escalation of progress would unravel. With all the proper editorial and photographic legend to follow.
When you query in this sub or quote washed up rider opinions via youtube or insta. Take a breath. Sandy and Ed hopped on a dream at a time when crews were possibly as small as 3 or 4 people. Their work is a now a timeless legacy and funnily enough the banner they flew under, DIG, is also still here as the realest.
