From Ruben back in 2009(?)… “A few months ago I had the opportunity to do a program called First Hand for FUEL TV (it’s a channel where they only show Skate, BMX, Snowboard, Motocross, Wakeboard… ). I was stoked because when I am in the USA I like to watch this channel and I thought that the First Hand was a great one. The program is just about a few days of your life, at home or in a trip… this program is very entertaining because there is nothing set up so anything can happen… we just plan to go to a couple of places and a camera guy comes with us to capture the best moments of whatever that happen in those days. The program was waiting for me to say where and when I wanted to start. Then one day that I went to California with my friend Sami from Malaga. I thought that it could be a good moment to start filming for my First Hand.
I got in touch with the camera guy (Mike Manzoori) to see if he was able to come with us and in a few days later we were on it. At first I was kind of worried of what to do but then I thought ‘this is what it is so it will be what it is’ and we had really good fun days because we had no idea of what we were going to do, all kind of things happened and we all have really very good memories from that trip.”
It’s been a while since something was as eagerly anticipated as this Garrett documentary. The wait is over. From Dig BMX… “It’s finally here and for this project, we decided to do something a little different. The Garrett Byrnes ‘Coming Down’ documentary is available to buy on DVD as part of a Limited Edition box set, or to rent over on our all new digbmxstore.com. Once you’ve seen it you’ll know it’s worth it. A huge thanks to Stew for all his hard work and patience on this one.”
Show your support and catch Nina and the ladies this weekend in the home state of Hüsker Dü! “Getting super excited for X Games this weekend in Minneapolis!
