The new Focalpoint DVD, The Waiting List, is now available. On the disc is also another full length feature; Defero Video Mag which covers more of the Australian BMX community — Defero actually means “Community” in latin, which I guess makes sense.
Buy it from the FP online store now, or get it at your local bmx store that carries FP stuff.
The latest issue of Focalpoint Magazine is out!
I have yet to pick up a copy, but I will do so in the next few days. There are supposed to be at least one photo that I shot in there at a fairly recent trails session. Always nice to see your own photos in print.
The issue is filled with interviews and contest/jam coverage as usual. Go get your hands on a copy today! Not all bmx shops carry the mag, so don’t go to the wrong one.
The date has now been set for the Focalpoint and Defero DVD premiere. It’ll go down on the 27th at the Mercat Cross Hotel. It’s 18+ and the doors open at around 7pm. The DVD will be played during the night.
Here’s the flyer and the promo video:
A bit late, but here it is. Third batch of samples from the FP crew before the real preview is coming.
As always, great riding and some really funny stuff.
Focalpoint issue 16 has just been put online. Cooper is using this really cool online magazine reader thing. So it’s just like reading a magazine, but on the computer. You can zoom, flip pages and even embed it, just like a web-video. Check it out below!
Cooper just put up another sample edit on Vimeo with out takes for the soon-to-be-premiered Focalpoint/Defero DVD.
I haven’t even watched it yet, but I know it’s worth posting. Those guys always hammer out some good stuff!
Also check out the new feature “Quick Shots” in the articles of the Focalpoint site. It’s a new series of mini interviews with up and coming photographers from around Australia.
Cooper just got stacks of boxes filled with the new print issue of FocalpointBMX Magazine. It’s now up to issue 17 and it’s apparently the biggest one to date at a massive 92 pages! It’s full of good content such as interviews, bios, reports and great photos of riding from all around Australia. This is the second time I’m featured in the magazine, this time I’ve got an interview about BMX product design. Happy about that for sure!
Here’s what Cooper wrote about what’s in the mag:
Issue 16 is biggest issue of FocalpointBMX yet! I am so stoked with how this issue came out. It clocks in at a banging 92 pages, with plenty of rider bios, interviews and road trip stories to keep you entertained.
This time around FP interviewed Jimmy Rostlund about product design, young NSW South Coast ripper Jadan Roxburgh and all around shredder Nick Kajewski. Dinny Spicer gave us some insight into the ins and outs of the Fbmx organization and Dwayne Germain from Adelaide scores an interview about his sweet street styles. There is a massive article on the positives of BMX, featuring interviews with riders from all walks of the BMX lifestyle. Dialed photographer, Nitai, gives us a look into his world of photography. Add to that a trip FP took to Tassie and there is plenty there to keep you going!
Once again, a big thanks to all the contributors and supporters – we couldn’t have done it without you. As for the cover, well, I feel it’s a fitting tribute to Nathan Charles, a good friend to many: gone but definitely not forgotten…
Remember kids… FocalpointBMX Magazine is free! So go pick one up at a good BMX shop near you!
Cooper just posted up a sample for the new Focalpoint and Defero DVD. It’s looking good, can’t wait to see it!
Connections is a shop in Bendigo outside of Melbourne which is owned and operated by cool dudes who are good friends of a good friend of mine, Flagz. They recently held a birthday jam and Flagz made a little edit of the footage he got from the event. Looks like they had a good time!
Flagz is also in charge of editing and filming for the new Focalpoint venture Defero video magazine which will drop it’s first issue soon!
A while back I made this post about a couple of custom bikes built around Simple frames. Not long after one of them showed up in issue # 15 of Focalpoint Magazine as a print ad for Hell On Wheels in Sydney. It’s definately one of the coolest ad’s I’ve seen in a long tome and I’ve been meaning to post about it for a quite some time but just never got around to it. But here it is — Finally!
