Back during High School, one of my hobbies/sport was Flatland Freestyle on a BMX bike. Another one of my hobbies were making home movies. Here's a cross between the two. Shot entirely by me by placing my cam on a tripod and later on editing it.

I had to transfer the film from VHS and basically re-edited it, but I chose to be faithful to my earlier editing. The slow motion bits were originally done by using an editing VCR with a jog/shuttle wheel, but there was a distortion on the original edited piece. Now I used software to redo the slow-mo parts and it is much cleaner now. I also chose to re-multiplex the audio, again being faithful to my original choice. Back then, I had to manually dub it by connecting the video cable to a VCR playing my clip, and the audio cables to another VCR playing the movie "Rad" because I chose a song in its soundtrack, namely "Send Me an Angel". Again, it is much cleaner now because the dubbing is now done digitally.

Hope you guys enjoy the short clip. It really brings back fond memories.

  • Nice riding.Can you still do the tricks.What bike is it?do you still have it cause if so it could be worth a lot of MONEY.Sorry about all the questions.Song name please?

  • Yup, still have it. Song title is Send Me an Angel, performed by Real Life and is a soundtrack on an old 80's movie RAD.

  • ur alright, got some skill, but the bike,

    it looks like a sort of girly bike bmx, and its purple

  • It's not purple, it's chromed. It's an old video recorded on Video-8 then later transferred to VHS. The film probably took on a hue that's purple-like somewhere along the way. The ground even looks blue but it's actually gray.

see all
