Scott Ehlert Interview

Scott Ehlert is a dude outta florida with a style like nobody else. I honestly don't know what to call half the shit he does. I got to talk to Scott a little and he's a great guy. I wanted to do a little bio/interview with him exclusively for this blog and i'm really excited about how pumped he was on the idea. So here's one of his most recent edits, and check out his vimeo page, he's got a ton more great ones on there. 





Name: Scott Ehlert


Age: 24 


Years riding: 10 or so


Five favorite riders you enjoy watching: 
Arik Elstran, Joe Battaglia, Mike Meister, Dennis Enarson, and Mark Webb

What is your favorite setup to ride?
A wooden bowl with different corners, angles, and heights

You obviously have a very technical and creative style of riding, what do you think draws you to that as opposed to maybe a flowy trail style?
I grew up going to the little prefab skateparks, and there was not a whole lot to do. After 15 minutes of riding I would I get bored and just start trying new, weird, and fun tricks. It is hard to have a flowy trail style at such small parks. 

What would you like to see more of in bmx?
I would like to see less hating going on and more riders being creative and doing tricks that they love to do. There is not a doubt that the progression has increased dramatically. With this said, imagine how much more creativity can happen. 

Five favorite tricks: 
Nothing, no-handed smith grind, cannonball, 'surf-grind', and switch one-handed no-footer

Describe a perfect day of riding:
Have lunch with friends, go riding in search of a new spot, learn a new trick or two, and have intelligent conversations

Any other words?
In life, there are followers and then there are leaders. Most people out there are followers and do not get far in life. Make sure you have a solid education and network with as many people as possible. The chances of getting a quality job by applying online are slim. However, if you are a leader and network with good people then the chances of receiving a quality job increases dramatically. Other than that, do not make enemies with anyone even if dislike them or do not agree with them. Just worry about yourself and your friends and be the best person that you can be.

Brian Cox and Jordyn Reindollar Fall Edit

I got the opportunity to live in Honolulu last year and while I was out there, I met these kids. They're both such great people and always fun to ride with. Brian is also an INCREDIBLE photographer. If you couldn't tell from watching, the kid is pretty damn good with a camera. I asked Brian to put something together for the site and he delivered. A couple standout tricks were Jordyn's 3 into the Hawaii Kai bank then going out the gate right after, and Brian's long nose manual at the end. Mahalo and good work! 

Let's Didgeridoo This!

Recently, Joe Rich and the Terrible One team took a trip down under and put together this 16 minute long video. Joe does a fantastic job capturing the fact that BMX isn't just about riding, it's about the places you go, people you meet, and good times you have. I was blown away by the beauty of this video and I know you will be too.



Life can be full of "maybes". Maybe one day, Terrible One will be in the dictionary. Paper dictionaries are already a thing of the past, so our chances might be a lot better. That's a weird thought . . . however, if that were the case, this would be a fitting entry for T-1. For us, it's always been about the journey and all that comes with it. The good people you have next to you, all of the folk that we've crossed paths with along the way. Australia: April 2011. Enjoy :)

I highly encourage everyone to take a look at some of Joe's other videos like the T-1 in Colorado edit. That one really stands out to me not only because I'm from Denver, but because it re-opened my eyes to the beautiful state I live in.

Windsor Afternoon Edit

Alright so for the first "official" post, I've decided to show you guys an edit that I made with a few friends not too long ago. This is the first and last time you'll see me featured on the site for this reason, I'm using this site to promote other kids, not myself. This video is going to sort of set the tone of this blog. I'm gonna be featuring videos, pictures, interviews etc. that focus on creativity, humor, and most importantly HAVING FUN!!



Now, a little info about what you just watched:
Zack Allen, Jake Howard, Kelsy Hoog, and Me (Sean Hanni) filmed this edit one afternoon at a little park about fifteen minutes away from my apartment. It all started with Zack showing me THIS MUSIC VIDEO. Now if you know who Chase Hawk is, you know that the dude shooting lazers out of his mouth looks just like him. So our first instinct was to make a flip cam edit using this song and some creative editing to give people who watch it a laugh or two. Enjoy.

WELCOME TO PAPERBOY!

Hey everyone! I'm sure you're all thinking, "Oh great, another BMX blog that's just going to post edits then talk shit about them." WRONG!! I decided the other day that I'm sick of people complaining about how the internet is ruining BMX, it's not the internet's fault, its the people who run the websites who are to blame. So I'm starting this blog, with the help of a few friends, that will hopefully be a positive influence on the BMX community and help bring the sport back together. In my honest opinion; skateboarders, cops and cities aren't going to kill our sport, we will. This blog isn't going to be about featuring the highlights from the most recent dew tour stop or Garrett Reynold's newest mind blowing street edit. I want to put the spotlight on kids who are going out and riding because it's what they love to do, not because they want to go pro. So, I give you, PAPERBOY!
