Folly Excursion

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!!

Cardiel x Chrome NYC Launch Party

I’m super bummed that I wont be able to attend tonight!  For all you lucky suckers that will be in NYC, definitely make sure to go to the Cardiel x Chrome Attack Series release party!!  I have no doubt in my mind it’s going to be a dope event (pun intended).  Ride fast, ride hard, Ride x Create!!

Fixed Gear London x Dickies

This is pretty sweet!  To repurpose a product for the specific needs of the cyclist is pretty rad!  What’s really cool about this, it isn’t a major overhaul of the Dickies pant, just a slight tweak that is not going to raise the cost of the product!  This all goes back to what Dave Ortiz was representing over at Dave’s Wear House!!  Very well done Fixed Gear London!!  Ride x Create!!

Zulu & Zephyr Summer Vibes

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!!

“Stay Warm Little Guy”

“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!!

I got introduced to Creature back in the day when my buddy Drew Potter was thrashing for them.  I really dig Creature’s style!  The Circa x Creature x Dave Gravette signature shoe combo is pretty sick!  Very well done!
