Knock for Knock from RAPHA on Vimeo.

“Shot in Tokyo, with a soundtrack from Mogwai and a script written by long-distance cyclist James Bowthorpe, the film represents a sportsman’s fight against his inner demons.

“We thought of this as a sequel to 30 Century Man [Crook and Bowthorpe’s last collaborative film] – a journey again… Knock For Knock looks inwards, into memory, into fear and fighting it.” – James Bowthorpe

Very cool, motivating, and creative film!  Really cool that Rapha is in collaboration with this!  Ride x Create!!

Wow!  This titanium beast blew my mind when I came across it over at Headset Press!  What a thing of beauty!!

It’s always refreshing to go check out Zulu & Zephyr!  I don’t visit their blog very often, but when I do it’s always filled with sweet new photos that replenish any summer vibes that I may be lacking!!  If you need a fresh charge of le summer vibe definitely go visit Zulu & Zephyr, it will make your heart happy!  Ride x Create!!

“Was watching some skate videos and thinking about the @createfolly brand and this is what came to mind.  Don’t know why… but I just felt like a broken board needed a beanie.  But I think if I ever have broken boards, I’m going to put beanies on them and hang them up.  “Stay warm little guy.” – Christian Dunn

I really dig this!  It’s very cool to know that we are inspiring others through this venture we are on.  Mr. Dunn has encompassed the Ride x Create Vibe perfectly!  I love the little story behind this illustration and the idea of putting beanies on helpless, cold, and out of work skateboards!!  Great work Christian!

**Definitely make sure to go check out more great work from Mr. Dunn via the link above, as-well-as his Instagram (where he provided this photo from) @bootmegood!  Ride x Create!!

Screen Printing at Signal Cycles from Mickey Deagle on Vimeo.

“We found out that we shared a common path to working in a bike shop: As young boys we loved riding our bikes and drawing. We found jobs working in bike shops. After a few too many years of turning wrenches, we decided that art school was a good idea. We each graduated with degrees in Fine Art Painting, and realized we were perfectly equipped for working in a bike shop.

Signal Cycles was born out of the creative fire that burns in each of us. We love using our hands and brains to build beautiful machines that get raced on, or ridden to exotic places. Bicycles are in our blood.” – Signal Cycles

Super refreshing company!  This reminds me of Kyle and I as we have traveled down the road we are currently on.  The Ride x Create Vibe flows deep with Signal Cycles! I really dig their passion and artistic expression.  Turning your dreams and vision into reality is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever experienced!  Great work Signal Cycles!
