This had to happen eventually. Glad it’s with the smart folks over at Cuppow!

Go to Cuppow and nab one of these suckers. Simple, effective, smart!

DOOOODE!!!!!

Swift Industries really nailed this one! I love this entire design! And for $200 this kit can be yours to travel all across the land in Get Lost style!

I hope you’ll take advantage. The pre-order goes until August 17th. Jah Blessed!!

RIDE x CREATE

Throughout this project Chris and I got to see a lot of different environments that we wouldn’t normally look at and think… “I’ll ride that”. I’ve learned that it will always be exploration fun to ride x shoot with a BMX rider. Chris is great at what he does which made capturing him in action very easy.

This is the first time I’ve been referenced as a photographer since Kyle and I started this FOLLY shenanigans. To quote Visual Supply Co. I’m a “world-class photographer”, but to be honest… I don’t see myself in that light. Since day one back in 2011 our message has been to Ride x Create; take the simple tools you have available to you right now and create something the world has never seen. This motivational message came from deep inside and where I was at at the time. I still believe in it today and will do so for many moons to come.

Moral of the story… use what’s available to you today, get creative, accept failure, learn from it, stay consistent x progressive. This formula in conjunction with time will prove to be successful.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my top 10 Levi’s x VSCO #commuter images. They were all taken and edited with an iPhone. I hope you’ll go check out our VSCO Grid for all things Ride x Create. Cheers!

(Editor’s Note: I’ll be posting 13 Levi’s x VSCO #commuter outtakes next week. Jah blessed!)

If I were a bicycle this would be me.

Go to CycleEXIF to check out a solid post on this Firefly Bicycles All-Road Tourer. I promise you will like it.

DUDE!!

I heart King Kog! Go nab these up while you still can!!

“The only advice our guide Ash left us with last night was to stay away from the Pyrenees Mountain dogs that guard the sheep in this region. So when Lyle was attacked this morning, everyone suddenly took Ash’s warning a lot more seriously. Lyle is shaken, but ok. His kit is ruined though. Hopefully we don’t run into any on the trail.” 

I love living vicariously through stories like this and ACRE Supply seems to have an endless amount of them. One of the many reasons I’ll sign off on supporting them every day of the week.

Cheers guys!! Thanks for sharing this radness.

These are a few of my favorite photos of the bunch. Go to ACRE Supply and read the entire write up on “The Guide To Getting Lost”. I promise you’ll be inspired.

I had a blast shooting this spot! It’s really close by the local skate park I’ve been to a million times but never knew it existed. Chris blends in quite nicely with the environment which was a big plus on these snaps.

Thanks for following along. I hope you’re enjoying these simple iPhone photos using the new Levi’s #Commuter x VSCO LV3 Preset. The LV3 Preset just got released for a free download. Go take advantage of that! Cheers!

These look pretty solid! And for a super affordable price.

Go to Blackburn Design and check these. Stay light, get out there!

I’ve had the pleasure of pushing my personal limits using an iPhone and the new VSCO Levi’s preset (LV3) to shoot Chris Rost in all of his BMX radery for the Levi’s x VSCO #commuter collaboration.

Follow along this week as I continue to show how rad BMX and commuting fit together. The sky’s the limit… and I mean that literally. Enjoy!
