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.

    Awesome video. Always psyched to see ben hittle. Some refreshing clips of Russell b doing wild gaps

  • http://wwwattheendoftheroad-schnell.blogspot.com/ schnell

    awesome

  • pawelb

    that was pretty sweet , riding and edit was sick!

  • Chris Long

    That was sick!! Adam the filming was pretty goood son, and Mike did a awesome job editing!

  • animalcollective

    hey adam dont you own an hvx? because it kind of looks like you filmed it with your phone

  • RICHARD

    Refreshing? What the hell does that really mean?

  • http://properbikeco.com mike mastroni

    nah he films with the dvx and i had to compress it a bunch to put it online

  • adam still sucks.

    nice, but what a waste of clips on a lousy web edit.

  • http://thecomeupbmx.net Eric

    That WAs cool , minus garret reeves raping russ at the end

  • liltaco

    this video is amazing i cant stop watching it

  • Confused

    Is “Garrett Reeves” Ben Hittle’s alterego when he wants to ride brakeless? Same setup, same tricks, same everything?

  • adam

    Ben Hittle barspins 2 story drops?

  • Bill P.

    100% disappointing

  • animalcollective

    my bad, but still … with all the talent involved, should have invited someone who knows his way around a camera

  • phuck hugh

    I agree with Bill… 2 weeks and all those good riders.

    Seemed like an extremely basic edit from some random midwest kid that everyone would talk shit on. definately disappointing considering the time and talent..

    hopefully the upcoming edits will make up for those 2 weeks spent.

  • Tyler

    That was sooo good.

  • newkaridge

    Fucking awesome

  • johnm

    awesome edit, such a good vibe

  • http://irminus.blogspot.com/ Gabe

    shoulda got mike mastrino to film it

  • http://www.extentclothing.com xtnt

    To RICHARD if you read this I was saying it was refreshing to see someone going fast and doing wild gaps you dont see that much in street videos these days. I wasnt hating on russell by any means the dude rules.

  • http://www.heyvancharles.com van

    Are you serious?

  • http://www.heyvancharles.com van

  • http://www.niagarastreet.net orbs

    id rateher be the rolling stones…….dope edit!

  • Matt

    Ummm… could have been edited better.

  • http://myspace.com/coreygodfrey coreygodfrey

    this was sooo good i just watch over and over <3

  • does it bend? no it breaks!

    12345. definitely. sped up footage is a no go.

  • Drew K

    Id rather be the Rolling Stones, seriously.

    More importantly, can anyone tell me where that last gap to wallride is? Ive been looking for a setup like that forever.

  • wow

    the stones really? i would def want to be the beatles.

  • davey

    that was sick! riding is soo crazy!

  • tyler

    hell yeah garrett

  • CaSe

    So what ever happened to good filming and editing. Yea the riders are great. But honestly Mike should get a little better practice with handling shitty footy. Adam cant film, and you cant just overnight think you are a good editor. Get some flow, and learn how to put clips together. Although nice on the wall fade mike.

  • RyRy

    I’d often thought of speeding up footage for an edit, (which this obviously was), to see how it worked with that style of riding. I think it was a conscious choice for style.

    Parts of it went a bit too fast, but only because I would’ve liked to soak these clips in normal speed. There wasn’t one average clip in that entire edit. Fucking shred the gnar, holy shit.

    Good edit. I applaud the concept, and the riding was fucking moon landing.

  • Larry Long Lens

    all these kids suck. even-though they are the only kids i ride with. plus nicky b and the dans, end fact

  • stevecroteau

    jake seeley is outrageous

  • http://69 tuff ghost

    Props go to Jake for riding faster than ever before! Seriously!

  • thomas

    some good clips for sure! but that song kills the a big part to me!

  • Plebbo

    Doesnt Jake Seeley and Muffinman look really similar?? Nice edit, Ben Hittles a beast would dig to see a full section from him

  • Maciek

    everything except filming is dope hahah im just kidding adam. great vid with soul. ben hittle 3′s are tottaly awesome.

    fuck off haters.

  • haha

    they took this trip like 3 months ago and everytime adam posted something about it he made it seem like our heads would be blown it didn’t live up to the hype, yeah there was some good clips but really? theres good clips everyday on this site, i think this is just like the come up dvd where it feels rushed over hyped and diddnt live up to anything

  • Elcapitangas

    Was good, enjoyed it.

  • http://myspace.com/wolfpachoorah a jahh

    you are a clown

  • http://www.israelbmx.co.il Jesus

    nice stuff! nice spots

  • http://yeahmate yeahmate

    Where’s the footage of the fight?

  • jeremy

    hittle is sick. so is that garrett kid. edit was alright, but i expected better. considering the other edit is titled “the digicam edit”, i’m not getting my hopes up. at least it was filmed by someone who knows what they’re doing…

  • http://www.myspace.c/etiket ETIKET

    There are NO doubts that mike can film and edit better than most. His own edits are proof of that. I think it could be entirely possible that he is not used to editing someone else’s filming, because he has never done it before. I would imagine that it is a whole new animal altogether.

    “that was a new challenge for sure. Like it’s definitely hard, as someone who wasn’t there, to take something that somebody else filmed and experienced, put your own spin on it, and have it come out good.”-From the Mike Mastroni interview

    I thought it went well.
    He is obviously doing something right, because he got the tap and the rest of us just get to watch.

  • http://properbikeco.com mike mastroni

    Yo just so everyone knows there were only 4 instances of sped up footage in the entire video, 1 was Russ for a half a second on the pole jam train. 2 was ben hittles curb to curb turndown..again on the landing, and 3 was seeleys dubbs over the rainbow rail….now the only reason this was sped on the landing was because adam accidently boinked the camera into something as he landed so i was trying to make it look a little more suitable. 4 seeleys run up to his pole jam off the roof. the hardest part about making this flow i think was taking riders like jake seeley who is more tech and overall slower riding style…meanwhile Russ who is cookin at huge gaps you know. its a big contrast to work with.

  • 2:14 = Best clip.

  • http://www.myspace.com/mullerrice miles

    that was well worth the watch.
    shame there was no adam footage.

  • kenny

    dude, im from Portugal, and i’ve never posted here before, but this vid is really awsome!!! the riding the filming the music!!! everything!!!
    and honestly im surprised, i never thought that tcu could ride and film this way!
    im a fan now xD

    oou and the wallrides? man.. u really need to come to Porto in Portugal and check the spots in here! we can make a jam for you xD

  • bah

  • brandon mccoy

    Super good! Ben Hittle FTW!

  • http://www.myspace.com/pepsi_head Bourbon

    sick video, some mental riding too

    can someone tell me what the song was, its stuck in my head and im started to get annoyed :)

  • joe m

    It was good. You know it was! you know it. Im sure it is a big difference from what you are used to, editing as you film, having a general idea. I would hate to have to put together an edit when I wasnt there. Good job.

  • RFW

    real good vid. editing not bad but jake seely is so boring and awkward. other than that it was bangin

  • emil

    that was sweet. not talkin shit but damn mike, why all the indie songs haha? russ kills it

  • NOT Billy Malkotsis

    i really hope that russ barone will be one of the guys who stays in bmx for ever.

  • belcher

    jake seely is the shit!

  • Nelson

    wats that one pedal grind called at 1:43?

  • ryry

    Right on Mike, thanks for the info. I watched it again and saw what you were talking about. First time through it almost all looked sped up. I think Russ’ gaps had something to do with it. I noticed Ben’s sped up part, and then just figured Russ’ clips were sped up too but i guess he really is that bonkers.

    Good edit.

  • zissou

    makes me want to go out and ride!
    thanks
