“Investigating visual semantics of meaning and sense.” – DKlein
This piece very is entertaining. The “flash of light” is almost blinding when your eye is drawn to it. It’s visually mind blowing. Dustin Klein take the Ride x Create mentality to the next level! Very well done sir!
“A few shots of Charlie and DJ putting together Charlie’s new Us Versus Them frame” – SE Bikes
I was digging through some of SE’s older blog posts and found this shot. The “Us Versus Them” frame from SE Bikes is by far my favorite frame. Make sure to go check out SE Bikes for more of the awesome they create!

Very cool Q&A with our Creative Director Kyle Steed. Kyle and I have known each other for close to two decades now. It’s always interesting to read his response to interviews and to better understand the creative process he goes through with each project. Although we have known each other for as long as we have, his process is still a mystery to me. We both share creative input into Folly, but where we differ is, I come to him with an idea or vision and he makes it reality. It’s freakin weird to tell you the truth, but this is why we work well together.
Definitely check out this Q&A from Old & New.

Fucking Creating It: Gabe and Packy from Packy Golan Throwaway on Vimeo.
This is awesome.
Dope photo’s! I dig these action shots. Makes me really want to go out and ride. Unfortunately I just found a huge slice in the side wall of my Continental grand prix 4000s front tire. Time to go drop some dollars. On a positive note, I have two other bikes… and a couple boards, I think I’ll survive.
Make sure to follow @TRAFIK_LA, @jebuslizama and @rudymelo on Twitter for more of the awesome that is fixed gear! Ride x Create my friends!
“You guys remember the Griffith shots of Rudy and Jesus? Well here’s an exclusive set from that day! If you’re unfamiliar with Rudy and Jesus, they both ride for Leader Bike. Aside from that, Rudy helps run The 5th Floor in London, and while in L.A. he met with his fellow rider and enjoyed some sweet bike time. Jesus is also part of TRAFIK’s Racing Team.” – TRAFIK
Beautiful photo’s from FixTheCity.
“Sebastian Ordinas does a great job curating a visual bike experience that truly hold a special balance of enegy, beauty, and essence of cycling.” – DKlein

Had a busy and productive weekend! Got together with Tyler Brown to shoot some sweet photo’s of Chase Freeman (Folly Skate Team Rider) doing what he does best! Chase hit this rail clean and consistent probably about 50 times! Tyler was telling me how hard it is to capture the flash from an iPhone (or any point x shoot)… I took it as a challenge. Got this one first try, pure luck.
Obviously a well deserved beer break had to be had! Not so much for Chase, but definitely for Tyler and myself!
This is my not so successful attempt at lighting the spot. Although this little generator was made in the 70’s and had yet to be used… it started right up, and lasted about 30 minutes until it spilt gas everywhere. Cheers little generator, your 30 minutes of fame was well used! May you rest in peace.
All in all, it was a really good session with Chase. Tyler took solid photos and educated everyone with some photo science that blew my mind (cheers to that sir). I will have the photos posted up later this week, with a little Folly site revamp. Till then, make sure to follow Chase on Instagram (@chasefreeryder) / Twitter (@CHASEingPaper) and Tyler Brown via Instagram/Twitter (@cre8ive_light). Ride x Create my friends!!
