Happy Holidays 24

Happy Holidays! Art by Joe

Sin Camino

Excellent work by Aidan Rice and masses of inspiration to hit the road and explore.

“Five friends from different countries all fly across the world to meet up in Spain and pile into a rental van with nothing but tents and bikes.

We spent this trip riding some places that just didn’t seem real and managed to meet some of the most amazing people along the way.

Thank you to everyone that made this trip so incredible by giving us places to stay, spots to ride and for sharing a session with us.”

Joe Rich Dig Fragments

Joe’s the latest to be featured in Dig’s Fragments series…

“In the early days of DIG, Joe Rich was a common subject in the pages of the magazine. He possessed a natural style, liked to push his personal boundaries, and excelled at a lightning fast pace on all terrains, from vert to street to park. All whist burning with creativity and D.I.Y. BMX energy.

After joining the etnies BMX team, Joe continued to be an integral part of DIG, but a series of injuries altered his BMX path throughout the filming for ‘Forward’. In a matter of months, Joe went from being on the cover of DIG, to shooting photos for DIG, as the team collected footage for their epic upcoming video.

After healing up, Joe was again able to pick up the bike, but the photography bug stuck, and Joe’s photos remained a fairly consistent theme in DIG with him documenting the influential rise of his etnies and T1, friends and teammates.

For the second episode of our ‘Fragments’ series, DIG photographer and one-time etnies teammate Sandy Carson traveled to Joe’s house to revisit his photo library and talk in-depth about that golden-era. If you’ve ever been curious about what drove Joe to take the route from pro BMX to BMX photographer, or are just a fan of those glory days, then this is a must watch.

OG ELF

With another run of Salt City bars starting to hit stores around the world, it’s a good time to have a look back at Elf’s first signature T-1 bars…

“7.25” rise. At the time they were somewhat of a normal height. Can’t remember the backsweep and upsweep. But I’m pretty sure it was somewhat of the same specs as my bars now. Also I think bars were roughly .065 thick back then. Because I was bending bars so much I had these made extra thick like .083 I think. Which made them pretty heavy but I did not mind. I was so stoked on the sticker Michael made for them. I said I wanted an evil-looking elf with a barbell since the bars were extra strong and what he drew up was better than I could have ever imagined.” - Elf
