Flat Sean

Sean Chua rides flatland amongst many other bicycle related activities.. here are a couple of photos I shot for his 20/20 interview last year, plus a couple of bonus snaps.

Street life

An 'Eeels' in Collingwood which has been lurking for over 3 years now. 

On a 30 hour bus journey from south Spain to Portugal, i spied this spanish Smel on the side of the highway.

Check - http://www.shamansofchaos.blogspot.com.au/ for australian SMEL.



In Portugal (2010), trains and BMX bikes were our two main modes of transport.

Pez in Barcelona 

.Occupy and Resist. A Barcelona squat.

(2010) Lost in the Barcelona streets on a solo spot hunt, I stumbled upon this surreal image.
 

Macba's BIG 3 has been heavily documented within the BMX and skateboard world. This classic bell shank and scrote ensemble was scrawled along the second step. 'Spunk life'.

Granada  in the south of Spain has some extremely alluring allyways.

Roy st

Here are a few photos from the penultimate thrash at Roy st.. merely hours before one of 2012's most excellent parties.. The Roy St Demolition Session.

 Cory Senstock.

Ridiculously steep smith to eat shit. Twice in a row - wild roy.

 French Paul blunting.


Between filmers 'Flagz', 'max skaterstein', 'Reiner Reign-er' and I there is a shit load of footage, which will be compiled into a documentary of the two and a half months that Roy St existed. Posts will be made 'as and when' in relation to it's progression.

Mr Toad

Benny from 'Steady Bumpen' Skateboards sent a link to something that all BMX riders can relate to... another heinous rap song with tailwhips in the background. Sheer hilarity or just cringe-worthy? Much like Ricky Gervais' office, it's really all down to how much social awkwardness one can stomach.

One track mind directing a train of thoughts.

An OG publication with an interesting online article on the intertwining relationships within various countercultures.

Canon-ball rail gap.

'For all the cock heads'



A bullshit manouver from Melbourne shredder Jack Kelly. Big canon ball gap to a slight up hill, grass landing.

DUB LDN jam 2010

Some sketchy snap shots from the Dub jam in London almost 2 years ago. This Crooks was a highlight for me. Fast and loose as all hell. 

5-0 creepin.

Piling in to an estate after a police 'chase'.

Millsy stalling a wall.

Hefty 360.

Flair the flatbank bruv.

Shameless self promotion.

Leigh and I both sharing a passion for shameless self promotion. 

Pink Hole (the legendary hair salon spot) on Smith St appeared in the latest 20/20 along with an article on the Rawkus Boogaloo bicycle film. 

"I'm a nice guy, i'm an attractive man.. why won't a girl go out with me? I'll take her for dates, dinner, dancing and disco". (Will Herrman)

Taken from Nothing's Wrong issue 2. Will Herrman turndown gap over a huge speed hump. Photographic prowess by Steven Gilman.

The krazy kassiuz show

Cassius Ellis is a technical wizard.. especially whilst at Fitzy. Here he footjam nosepicks the top of Will's wheel, rolling away smoothly. Note the reaction by everyone in the last pic, for evidence of ridiculousness!

Bendigo spawns some serious kooks.

Portugal 2010

Wozzy on a vert ramp found slap bang on the side of a street.

Marv 'hop over' grind, spooking the local scavengers.

Jim Newrick 'Smithing' the artwork.

We got pulled over by the cops not long after this for looking like anarchists/terrorists (most of the crew were dressed in black) during a heavily publicized NATO meeting in Lisbon that weekend. The cops had a look at everyone's camera, and they really weren't psyched on seeing this snap. Never the less, we went about our business and continued the spot search. The streets were filled with protesters and live music. So much so, that upon entering the country i had my backpack searched twice for traces of any anti-establishmentarianism.

Bombing. Terror free.

Dan Cox, idyllic hubba manual.

Examples of protest graffiti found throughout Lisbon that week.
