Sneak Peek At One Thing On My Hitlist

Gave this “boner log” line a bit of an upgrade the other day. Just waiting for the stars to align for some god-light to shoot and kill this thing.

Anthill Films: Follow Me - Mexico Segment B.T.S.

April 8th, 2010  |  Harookz  |  MTB, Photography, Travel

December 2009 - Anthill filmed one of their feature segments for their new project “Follow Me” in Punta San Carlos, Mexico. Waking up in a spectacular untapped location with your best friends… everyone doing what they are most passionate about in life… I felt very fortunate to be able to mix these ingredients together and somehow get away with calling it a “job”. It’s going to be very difficult to top this trip.

Here is a look at some behind the scenes photos off my mini-cam. Stay tuned to all the magazines for the nugs from this adventure and visit the Anthill Films website for premiere dates around the world.

CROSS CONTINENTAL BMX TRAIN TRIP - DAY 7 & 8

March 24th, 2010  |  Harookz  |  BMX, Travel, Video

49 hours on a train isn’t all that bad if you dangle a first class upgrade like we did. Alcohol adds to the overall experience too…

CROSS CONTINENTAL BMX TRAIN TRIP - DAY 4, 5 & 6

March 21st, 2010  |  Harookz  |  BMX, Travel

Day 4: Shredded the streets of Portland 8 deep with Quanbeck, Kaufmann, Codie Larsen & crew. Last day in PDX was stellar, thanks boys for the good times! The sun has been out our whole trip, nicely touching up my bronze paintjob. Right before we left Portland, a guy offered to sell us an AK47 for $300… shady.

Saw this hanging behind the DJ booth.

Day 5: We backtracked to Seattle but not on the dirty hound… we finally sunk ourselves deep into the big comfy chairs on the Amtrak train. We rogued a 12 pack of Coronas onboard and enjoyed the view. Big thanks to Kevin Walsh for taking us to the local hot spots and putting us up for a night.

Day 6: In 4 hours we are boarding an Amtrak train which will head straight to Chicago. The trip is going to take 49 hours so we booked a room with a couple beds and started to compile some goodies for the lengthy journey. So far we have beers, chips, beef jerky and the Boys N The Hood DVD to keep us sane. Feel free to text me up a storm over the next 2 days because I’ll have more than enough spare time to kill.

Cross Continental BMX Train Trip - DAY 3

March 18th, 2010  |  Harookz  |  BMX, Photography, Travel, Video

We are saving Day 2’s video footage for our single riding edit which will be put together at the end of our trip. We had a solid day of street riding and shot some bangers with Caleb Quanbeck (Stranger BMX/Lotek). Big up to Caleb for being an amazing guide, Portland is unreal, we were just frustrated in our last video update… Here is Day 3’s video update. Our spontaneous plans have changed over 15 times now leaving us bitter at times but things are finally coming together! Larry at Amtrak dangled us a route to keep our trip alive.
