Waiting for the olympic road race from Erik Jonsson on Vimeo.
I love edits like this. Erik describes this vid as a “scrambled edit”, but I see nothing scrambled about it. I love the chill vibe and the beauty he has found during the wait for Olympic cyclists to pass on by with epic speed and grace. Well done Erik. Your creative style along with The 5th Floor is impressive and inspiring! Ride x Create
Thanks to good ol’ Anit-Hero and Terrible One, we here at Folly can enjoy a “Coke” tall boy in most any environment. “Does Coke make a tall boy”… Sure they do! “Are you drinking beer around children”… NO, that would be irresponsible. “Where can I buy some Coke tall boys”… They have a limited NASCAR coke tall boy series at Wal-Mart. Check out the finished product below.
This is amazing! The Ride x Create vibe flows deep with Mr. Ortiz and the sick establishment he has built. If you are in the NYC area, definitely check out DWH! I promise you wont be disappointed. I had the pleasure to do a quick impromptu video interview with Dave several months ago to get a better look inside what DWH is all about. To no surprise, Dave simultaneously spread the love and truth about today’s skateboard company vibe. Although, there is definitely nothing wrong with throwing in some unique high doller style into the wardrobe; just make sure you can’t get the same style for way less over at Dave’s Wear House!
“Dave’s Wear House (DWH) is a retail brand based on the well known merchant Dave Ortiz and his industry colleagues. DWH currently operates 1x store in Manhattan located in Chinatown at 123 Baxter Street. The store features top name brand sneakers, clothing, bags, skateboards and BMX accessories. In addition to the wear-house themed shopping experience, the space has a separate built out space with a large window for specialty brands to feature their products in a in-store pop-up shop.
DWH offers an eclectic mix of products not often sold together but that complete the needs and desires of the urban action athlete. This includes pro model skateboards, performance footwear, single speed and BMX bikes, bags eyewear, accessories and more.
The most popular merchandise at DWH is the brand Another Dave’s Design (ADD+). ADD+ is inspired by the large number of creative individuals that design and create for and with Dave. ADD+ manufactures its own clothing and develops collaborative products with leading brands.” – DWH

The Chrome Delta is impressive. When I first got the Delta I thought, ‘this sucker is small’. Don’t be fooled, it will Houdini your gear in a way that will make you shake your head in unbelief and impressment. I’ve only rode with the Delta for the last couple days and have already found several benefits. Check out the photos below for an inside look at the Chrome Delta.
Although this bag was designed from Chrome Familia Member Ed Wonka and the vision he had in mind with FGFS; It also serves as a really good board carrier. The two front straps secure the board snug to the bag and is comfortable to ride with.
Right out of the box the Delta shows its impressive detail and Darth Vader’esk appearance. The black Delta is so clean looking, its appearance is as if it was cut from Vader’s cloak itself. Don’t let me geek out on you with this one, but it honestly was my first impression. I love it!
One of the first movements that I have seen Chrome make to a different Griffin style to represent their iconic symbol. I really like the clean simplistic design of this.
This shows nothing, but is holding everything. As mentioned above, the Delta is truly deceptive in the quantity it will house.
Obviously Stanley is the standard to be carried in any Chrome bag I use. It will only be filled with quality bourbon (disclaimer: depending on my current cash flow)!
As I progress into the bag with my daily carryings… my note book and solid Terrible One koozie are a must. Ideas for Folly, adventures, dominating that next trick, new creations, etc. hit me at random when I’m cruising the streets. I must always be prepared to take a seat, have a quality beverage, and entertain these ideas.
This photo does not show how significant this is unfortunately, but in my hand are 18 custom Folly tee’s. Not shown is my 13 inch MacBook Air and a medium size book. With everything listed throughout the photos, there is still plenty of room for a good bit of stuff. I could easily house a six pack of brewskies, dinner to go, tools, etc.
Finally I show all of that bundled appropriately.
This is the outcome from only a couple days. Make sure to keep an eye on our Instagram (@createfolly) as I use the Delta on Folly adventures. Kyle Steed (Creative dude here at Folly via Dallas) has his District in the mail to review when he gets back from Colorado. Currently he is rockin the Camp Vibe lifestyle with a fishing/camping trip.
The Bravo and Victor are currently on their way to Folly HQ for test and review. I love giving these Chrome bags hell as I rip the streets and parks throughout the city’s around the nation. They never let me down; they only continue to impress me even when I approach them with a critical eye. Know that if you invest in these Chrome bags you will be investing in a bag that will house your goods successfully and comfortably for years to come.
