The CEO of the TUMULT Crew (Jesper Stern) decided to release the first Tumult DVD for public download. It’s a large file and my server here is apparently not the fastest, so just be patient. Do the right-click thing to download, otherwise it will open in the browser.
Here’s Jesper’s write-up about the release:
“From a time when bikes were heavier, most riders ran brakes and bunnyhop tailwhips were only for the best flatlanders, here’s our autumn video present for you.
This was basically the starting point for the TUMULT Crew and also a kick ass video.
Filmed in 2004 – 2006 including heavy clips from around the world; Stockholm, Copenhagen, Sydney, Brisbane, New York, Prague, Christchurch, Austin, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Malaga, Helsinki and L.A.
Full sections from: The Rahm Brothers, Patrik Swenson, Jens Lindberg, Jimmy Röstlund, Klas Löwbeer, Robert Källström, Jesper Stern, Joakim Olsson and a bunch of friends.
The most epic part about this video could be all the different spots from around the world, but to us it’s a reminder of many good memories.”
I was randomly watching videos posted on TheComeUp and not paying very much attention when suddenly I hear a familiar voice and see a face I know. It was my friend Klas Löwbeer a.k.a. “World Champ” in a news report from Casselberry trails from FOX News in Orlando. So random!
Found this in a rarely visited folder on my hard drive. It’s from way back in 2002. My very first edit, ever. From a very brief time when I owned a DV-camera, and way before the era of webedits and such things. I only did about two semi serious edits anyway, the rest have been short 10 clip (maximum) things of myself to show to friends and stuff. The “good” clips have always ended up in someone else’s edit or DVD.
It’s from a one day visit to a skatepark that is located about 90 minutes from Stockholm. Not sure if it even exists anymore. A bonus fact is that the park was designed and built by a bmx rider who is somewhat of a Swedish local hero, but the park was mainly aimed for and used by skaters. I even heard rumors that bikes were banned in there at some stage.
Check out the small handlebars and big diameter tubing on the frames!
[Edit: Apparently the place does still exist and a few of the very same guys featured in the video above actually made an edit from their session there 11 days ago. Spooky!]
Back home in Stockholm the winter season is in full swing and the guys are now limited to ride the few indoor parks that are available. 5 more months until outdoor season again.
Jesper Stern of Team Tumult recently did this edit from a session in Fryshuset.
At the end there’s a nasty crash and world champ Klas got knocked out. Pretty harsh.
