Brian Tunney – Insta Smith

Some fresh Brian Tunney footage to start the week, heres what Brian had to say about his latest project:

“Growing up, one of my all-time favorite tricks was a smith decade. About ten years ago, I took my back brakes off because maintaining them was a pain in the butt and I wanted a more simplistic approach to my bike setup. But I lost that one trick. This past summer, after a few dreams of doing that trick, I learned the brakeless version but wanted to incorporate more of the past and present into my riding, so I marched to Empire BMX and reinstalled a gyro, back brakes and all of the ridiculous detachable cable guides that come with my bike. The result has been a very good re-connection of me with my 15-year-old self. These are but a few of the things I’ve filmed with back brakes, ’80s inspiration and abundant, humid sunshine in the past few months. More is on the way soon, thanks for watching.”

Canadians 3

This morning I randomly got the urge to watch Canadians 3, filmed mostly in 1997 by Jason Brown. So much good riding in this from the likes of Jason himself, Andrew Faris, Martti Kuoppa, Stephane Royer, Dan Rigby, Cory Stratychuk and many more. Forgotten styles and tricks, well worth watching again!
