Chase Hawk goes sideways

"Almost 13 months ago, Chase and I filmed this next bit. Oddly enough, we managed to complete the finished vid in just one weeks time after being asked to do it. If you know the both Chase and myself, you'll understand what kind of an accomplishment that was. ha ha ha . . .. Anyhow, Fox Racing had asked if we could film a " how-to " do a whipper. Chase sits amongst the top group of dudes that can whip em with as they should be whipped. I used one of my favorite "Explosions in the Sky" songs, which came from a limited edition cd that you could only purchase at one of their actual shows while they were on tour. The song fit perfectly. I tried and tried to get a confirmation from them to use the music, but I never heard back. So, that's why Fox could never put this edit out. And we didn't want the music changed, so it sat . . . . . The hardest part with the little project was recording the talking stuff. I always like to dig a little deeper when it comes to people talking. And I knew that Chase has chosen the path of riding the way he does through different influences throughout his life of riding bikes. So, sit back and enjoy the different ways a bike can be moved when you know the secrets. Cheers :)" Joe Rich
