1 minute 46 seconds of an almost perfect life from emer bmx on Vimeo.
“After spending alot of time showcasing and filming others, it was a pub conversation with Dave Beveridge last year at King of Southsea which inspired this edit. In short, he suggested that all the fluff – like interviewing and photographing other people – almost misses the point, and the true essence of BMX was in riding and putting yourself out there. We’re under no illusions of being the next Dandois, Beckmann or Foakes but ‘My mate Dave in the pub’ is a wise man! So here you go, dedicated to Dave, my friends and family: problems aside, and crashes edited out, here’s 1 minute 46 seconds of an almost perfect life.”
Johann Chan
Awesome. Johann is such a smooth rider and a rad dude. I really like how this was edited, and I think it totally captures what he’s described. Good work.
It’s crazy all that has happened as a result of the chat in the pub with Dave, what a great night that was! Great vibe to this edit Johann!
Thanks Trevor- pay you later!
Do you remember that evening? Followed with us sitting in the park at Southsea, watching a band, then Flatmatters riding on the grass!
Nice! Dug this one.
I remember the band and E riding on grass, but why wasn’t I at the pub?!
@Prasheel – You might have been playing pool? or that the bar…
This is awesome and has a great vibe. Beautifully shot and edited. I love the quick architecture shots between combos.
Enjoyed that ! nice !

Really enjoyed this Johann! Good stuff.
Great edit! I’m surprised, however, that I’m going to be the first to acknowledge the smokin’ hot woman at the beginning….damn!
Nice one Johann, smooth styles!
There are a whole lot of things in this edit that I love. Nice one.
