i meant ‘making it’ in the sense of becoming a great DP, caus theres no doubt he could be a mediocre one. I think a lot of people in bmx think because they can shoot someone grinding a rail with a lightwieght handheld camera and a wide lense, they’ll automatically be a great DP. nah son

Hmmm it kinda sucks the way he hates on BMX but fuck it he had mad skills in the day – ice to 270 in can i eat? on the jerz barrier is still sick. Didn’t really like the tone of the interview in the sense that he sounds like hes trying too hard to break into film-making and isn’t content with making BMX vis anymore – fair enough, I’m not super into shooting BMX but I am a film graduate working in television and have so-far managed to work with a lot of great cameramen – from everything i’ve ever seen him shoot, i honestly think he doesn’t have the talent to make it as a DP – the odyssey video was just shot…. so bad… could maybe editing some goofy, hyper music videos with loads of shit effects. but whatever. best of luck to him

its pretty funny now that i read the int where he claims to have ‘shot’ a music video while working with a director and a DP ? some of his filming over the years has been seriously awful.

Adam do another interview with this dude. Ask him why everyone seems to have beef with him. I would love to know his side of all this. Read MOM-FER’s post from his last interview.

I don’t think he grew out of bmx I think he was quietly given the boot. Read his last article from the come up. He didn’t sound like he was done. Now two months later and he’s done? Hiding out in Mexico. Sounds like someone is on the run.

i think it’s like so profound that he like found life outside of the hobby of bmx and can truly understand people that don’t ride. This guy is so far ahead of his time and his brain is too expansive to be held back by a hobby. fuck off chadshack, i always hated your after effects garbage.

this guy is far from humble.

Wow, bmx is full of ungreatful fags. Humble guy that never claimed to be pro, he never asked for an interview, and try to pretend you didn’t enjoy his vids. Lame! I love you how you retards can’t handle that someone went beyond riding a bike forever. Keep pretending.

Dilly must be the best rider on earth. Don’t come to Ottawa, you are not welcome.

Once again, fuck bmx. And Jared Chilko. Who wouldn’t want out of this?
