The Come Up’s 5 Year Anniversary.

Today is the 5th anniversary of The Come Up. 5 years ago today I started a blog as a joke and it changed my life. Above is the first video I ever posted, some Eric Holley clips that surfaced on a messageboard after some beef with a filmer*. It has been a long road and I’d like to thank everyone who has ever visited this site and everyone who has ever advertised, offered advice or helped me in any way. I’ve made a lot of mistakes but my intentions have always been pure. Thank you.

*The original post was a link to the video on some server since at the time, Youtube was just starting to become popular in BMX but the above clip is the same one. And yes the song choice was chosen to poke fun at Eric for getting sponsored and while I have never met Eric and he’s seemed cool the few times I’ve talked to him, it is ingenious and fucking hilarious.

Just got two new Come Up shirts in, in new colorways… super stoked on these. The black Four Pegs shirt is printed on Tultex shirts (basically American Apparel knock offs that feel real good) and the State Of Mind shirts are on American Apparel Summer Shirts. Get them both in the web store.

OH YEAH, I’ve also got the white Four Pegs shirt in stock in small’s and XL’s again.

FUTU: The Come Up San Francisco Road Trip.

thecomeupbmx.net SF trip from FUTU from Charlie Crumlish on Vimeo.

Damn that was a fun trip. We went in the middle of last October, then the footage sat around for a while, Charlie asked me if I wanted to do something for FUTU, I told him he could edit the clips from our SF trip if he was into it and he was. It was almost a year ago but here it is on the site, finally. The riders are Joof, Maria, Jake Seeley, Eddie Cleveland, Sean Parker and I even sneak a couple clips in there.

The TCU Four Pegs shirt designs just came in… go pick them up in the web store. As shown in the above photo, even 2 peggers like Mike Mastroni can rock them!

TCU Goes to Texas Edit

Keith Romanowski put together another edit from the Texas trip they all went on a while back. I thought it was kind of funny that Defgrip knew about this edit before I did? I’m sure Adam did and just didn’t tell me or something. Who knows! You can check that edit out on Ride LI.

The Come Up DVD.

Just spotted a link to this on Myspace… crazy that it came out a year and a half ago huh? There are about a billion things I’m going to do differently for the next video (which is in the very, very tentative stages but is definitely going to happen) but I’m still glad we did it.

Also any order placed through The Come Up’s web store comes with a free copy of the DVD. If you wear a 2XL, hit me up via Email and I’ll give you a deal because I have way too many gigantic shirts sitting around!

The Come Up Texas Trip “Edger” Edit.

adam — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 23:48:18 +0000

Here’s part 2 in our Texas web video series. Basically this idea came up because we were checking out a really crazy curved wallride in a parking garage in Austin. While a couple dudes were scoping it out, I told Jake he should film a couple edgers on the curbs there. Jake and I always end up doing a lot of edgers whenever we ride together, but it’s the kind of thing you usually never film. So it sort of snowballed from there and I ended up filming a bunch more throughout the course of the trip and the theme expanded to include peg taps, wallies, lip slides and other fun stuff.

Also I’d just like to thank everyone for all the positive comments on the web video from yesterday, I appreciate it a lot.

The Come Up’s Texas Trip.

Here it is at long last. This video is the result of almost 2 full weeks riding in Austin. The riders are Russ Barrone, Garrett Reeves, Jake Seeley and Ben Hittle. I filmed it, and Mike Mastroni edited it. I’m pretty proud of how this came out and all the riding that these dudes put down, hopefully you guys enjoy it!

We’ve got a bunch more edits that I’m going to put online throughout the rest of the week including a behind the scenes video, a Jake Seeley skatepark rail video, “the edger edit” and Keith Romanowski’s digi-cam video so check for that this week.
