Another roll of film from around 2015. Louis, George, and Fraser at Ōtara Skatepark and the Redhill bowl in South Auckland. These shots, like all the film rolls I’ve been posting, were taken on my old Nikon FM, which I picked up while passing through Hong Kong on my way back to New Zealand from Vancouver.
Pretty safe to say Beadle’s everyone’s favourite rider in our wider BMX circle of friends. Such a chill dude and very talented on two wheels, kinda an underdog, really. Would love to ride with him more often.
This shot’s from around 2009, when I was just figuring out how to use remote flashes. Got a few more from that May Road season I’ll try dig up.
With the recent news about the possible end of the iconic Horseshoe Bay Skatepark, I thought I’d dig out some old photos. Andrew Lazer and Paul Moffat—somewhere around 2010.
A true classic—an old Wazman photo from 2007. This was around the time I first started taking photos with my old Nikon D100. I’m pretty sure this was at Waiouru Skatepark, during a trip down to Toast Jam with Dave, Wazman, and myself. I think Dave might have some VX clips from that trip kicking around somewhere. Hoping I’ll find the high-res version of this photo one day—would love to have it on the workshop wall.
It's been over 20 years since I started Zombie BMX, which was originally called Zombie Flesh Eaters. Before that, the H-Town crew (myself, Ben, Luke, and Tim) had a webpage called Make Shift Riot. I think I might even have some old stickers from those days—hand-drawn on paper sticker stock and varnished so they wouldn’t deteriorate in the rain. If I can find them, I’ll post them.
While digging through old versions of the site from 2006, I came across this and thought it was rad—someone (might have been Hamish) tagged this at the Island Bay skatepark.
"Hate Kill Destory"
"Zombie"
"Forget the American dream"
"Do your own shit"
"Fuckwits"
Few photos from last summers MTB trip with Louis, George & Justin up Porters Ski Field.
