011 MASH 2015 WALTON AND KYLE

0 Comment

This chapter is very personal for me. Walton has been part of MASH since he was 17 years old. We have traveled around the world together, and have cheered for him as he grew up, and began to race on the road. Kyle and Walton are friends from Portland. They both moved to SF to go to school, and we immediately got hooked on this Portland tribe. Both Walton and Kyle ripped on track bikes. They figured them out, and became very expressive on them. We would get out and shoot video from time to time, but once we locked down shooting a bigger video project, they where both committed to their road teams, and could not afford a possible injury.  We premiered a version of our video last fall, without Walton and Kyle’s part. It was a clear hole in my heart, and I wanted them to be able to express themselves in this way. After Europe, and Asia premieres, Walton had talked Kyle into coming down, and they had been planning some locations they wanted. Once it was all set, they surprised Martin and myself, by letting us know they wanted to make something. Let’s get out, and see what we get. With a day with Walton, and a day with both riders, we created a massive part in the video. It shows how playful and how serious these bikes can be, and we are honored to be able to share their section with you.
