下のブログパーツでBMXの映像が見れる
しかも相当映像の内容もすごいし、新しい映像が出来上がる、それが見れるようになっている

映像は、このBMXメーカー”Odyssey”のチームライダーたちのライディング映像で、この映像を１本に集めてDVDとしても世界中に発売されている
しかし、なぜDVDで販売するほどお金と時間をかけて作った映像をネットで無料で配布するのだろうね
目的はプロモーションのためだろうが、時代背景の変化から、もうちょっと考えてみることにする

It is a super honor to have Joe Rich's interivew.
For people who don't know about Joe. I'd like to write a introduction.

Joe Rich Introduction

Joe has been a super hero among BMX riders.
If you devide pro riders into 2 group. 1 can be mainstream and the other would be underground.
Mainstream: Riders like Mat Hoffman, Jay Miron kicks ass at the contest.
and walk the mainstream.
Underground: Riders who can be seen through videos and magazines.
And the riders are very popular and very good at riding.
Joe Rich might categorized to the underground side.
He draws a lot of attention on every tricks he does.
Joe made a bike company with another super rider Taj Mihelich called Terrible One(T-1).
And in this interview Joe also talks about T-1
