Spiritual moment with Matt Walker in Rotorua

Took my kid to Rotorua for a weekend. Matt Walker found out I was heading down and so we decided to hook up and shoot. We had been meaning to get some shots together for Leatt NZ for some time now. Everything came together in a magical few moments and makes me realize what a wonderful country we live in where you can ride and create these images in the middle of winter. Make a shout out to all those supporters who came out on the hill to help out.

Fashion&BMX

I've been bored with the NZ fashion scene for quite some time now especially after the all time low point at the last NZ fashion week with Pamela Anderson running around the catwalk half wasted naked...Fashion really, please?

Funny enough REMIX out of all NZ titles lured me back into it. So BMX it is.

Below, Kurt Pickard NZ BMX champion for fashion/profile shoot for REMIX. looking thru the whole issue I'm suprisingly proud of being part of it. Well done Team REMIX:Tim, Tina, Carl & Co very nice issue.

Ilabb Sanctuary Open Day MX

Ilabb are creators of custom designs and decals for bikes boards and other stuff thats cool. Nice guys too with a mini ramp and old skool pinball in their office.

As clever and progressive kids they found a fun way to give back to the supporters and clients - coaching session riding MX at a private location.

It was great to be there, thanks guys.

Now here is a portrait of the owner of the farm we rode at, he can teach you a lesson or two about old skool.

New Crupi USA BMX Print Ad

Shread! is the word Kurt Pickard, BMX champion would use to describe something thats making a difference, that he would regard as hot and now.

I believe this resulting new Crupi BMX Ad featuring Kurt's incredible riding talents and my photography is the result of a symbiotic relationship between camera and subject. The 'perfect combination' between talent, skill, determination, passion and art.

Full credit also goes out also to the Crupi designer that has completely 'got' the image and matched it with graphical content which fully suits the feel and look , I think somehow that he got excited!

Pros and cons of a BMX take over

Its crazy when something takes over your life so much. BMX has pretty much done that to me over this past 2 months. It even claimed the whole new section on my website called surprise surprise BMX! Under the Strong influence of current and future Olympians I'm getting back into BMX racing after a 10 year break!

I'm sure there have been other things... yes! a fashion story for REMIX oh actually that featured a BMX athlete too. My girlfriend gets upset when I turn up to the dinner table with my new BMX helmet on and is not over the moon with a BMX bike in the bedroom. What's wrong with her?

Anyway, to smooth thing over and keep her a little happy with me, I take photos of sunsets from my deck. Here here

BMXpress issue #52

BMXpress arrived air freighted in the post today from Oz. Glad too because my feature coverage from the North Island BMX titles held in cambridge over Labour weekend..some time ago I know. I've got 5 pages in there which is a step up from my last contribution, next story will be from the National titles in Franklin District Auckland over Easter where I'm looking forward to shooting Kurt Pickard, Rico,Nicole Wright and Marc Willers. On the subject of Marc Willers I last seen him recently tearing up MereMere drag way in his unmistakable green beast NIZOLA at the Rotary Nationals. He also has a half page shot of him in the same issue leading extremely fast American rider Mike Day from UCI round in S.A. Go team KIWI. Look out for this cover at all good news agents near you.

SCARTT 500

SCARTT 500 and we had one for the first time in NZ recently. Yep we got the call a few weeks back to start thinking about where to set this cool exciting new product for a branding image that would speak to the farming community of NZ. Well we've been dealing with V-Moto for a while now the parent company of the new side by side 500 cc SCARTT which is so new that land transport havn't got a classification for it yet. I took this puppy for a spin a little after the shoot at nightfall headlight blazing and let it rip along a west coast beach whoa, loved every second of it, felt like a kid in a candy store positively brimming:)))

Nice! Cheers V-Moto for the opportunity to be part of an amazing revolution in the recreational industry well thats how it is for me, farmers may disagree on the usage.

For more on this one of a kind experience visit SCARTT Vrrrrrrrroooooommmmmmmm

PPP

Proximity Pulse is cool, so I wanted to make a cool image for their posse. So I did, well its a recci really but I learnt a few things from it, and when I do it for real I have a sound idea for how to approach it....was kinda going for the ''ohh ahh'' fruju ad from the 80's minus the yacht, ha ha. Enjoy.
