It's been a month since I had my skatepark screening of 22 Mile Radius and the limited run of dvds are all gone. So the time has come to put it online and let it reach a wider audience.

nice one man, that's a sweet vid.
one thing that grated a bit, in an obviously UK edit, why so much US music? Other than that, really nice

Ha! i was watching it whilst you typed ^ -

Thanks Alkali. Interesting point about the music.
The music was picked based on what fitted the riding, and also to a certain extent the lyrical nature working as a double meaning as a comparison between the hip-hop "street" life and street bmxing. I personally have a preference to early 90's hip hop, the range of styles within it and the passion contained within it makes it a pleasure to edit to. That and the UK just doesn't have music legends like Pharaoh Monch, Old Dirty Bastard and The Artifacts. The choice to then include some of the completely contrasting songs was a throwback to Scerbo and his ability to include tracks like "Blondie - Hanging on the telephone" and make it seem right when thrown in the mix.
One of the recent LurkNYC (skateboarding) videos achieved this musical link perfectly by using East Coast hip hop on the NYC footage and West Coast hip hop on the SF footage. I would have loved to have done something similar but it seems like there is still quite a strong DnB and Grime scene around here, and it just wasn't the direction I wanted the video to go.
I hadn't really considered that the music being very US centred is quite different to the fact that all of the footage is very much local and contained. Even down to the cctv footage, which was a local post office, and Joe Ward's intro, which was a chopped up advertisement for a local security firm.
I've begun work on a mixtape and the few songs I've put to one side to maybe use are UK based so maybe I'll go that route this time.

Yeah, I could see why you'd chosen 'street' music, just thought that the Uk urban scene might get referenced. Hark at me, like I'm Dizzee Fuckin Rascal or something. I'm about as urban as Dartmoor.
Sweet vid dude

We'll done Ed.
I watched it this morning, the music isn't my cup of tea but works with the saf-esque style of the video.
I'm not one for filming myself but if I ever did I know the soundtrack wouldn't be to other people's taste either.

Thank you. You'll never please everyone with the music. I love it though and the riders have had no complaints about song choices.

This was great! The genre or where it was produced doesn't matter so much to me, good music is good music and I think you managed to pick good tracks for the riding in the vid. Five stars would watch again

It's crazy to see it get this much attention, it's just shy of 1000 views now. After I smashed my foot up 4 years ago I thought that was it for bmx, and was a bit disheartened that I only had a few photos to show for it. So when I got back into it the idea of making a full length had quite a selfish motive.
It's been so much more than that for me though, I've got a video of memories but I've also been able to push my boundaries on the bike and have learnt an awful lot of filming/editing tricks.
Next project is going to be a bit different as we've been digging all winter and they're not far off running.

Another nice edit from Lee Hopkins (of 90East fame). How good does that Harvard Law School ledge look?!
