MASH 2015 Matt Shapiro

Matt Shapiro is another one of the Portland crew that moved to SF to further explore art and cycling. His positive outlook inspired us to want to get out and shoot with him on the bike, and what we received was a really unique look of the city, and the way Matt interacts with it. Enjoy.

EDDY BACH

When the first MASH video came out in 2007, Eddy Bach was 9 years old. He was raised here in San Francisco, and we met through shop rides and alleycats. Like many riders today, he discovered bikes through track bikes on the streets. A track bike can be an affordable way to discover cycling, while it holds the danger card that can attract those who speak it’s language. To us, Eddy represents the future of cycling. Today he races Alleycats, Fixed Crits, XC, CX, and is a freshman at SFSU. Enclosed is an example of how raw and fearless his riding style translates to video. Enjoy.

MASH SF 2 DYLAN BUFFINGTON

We met Dylan through hosting street races in San Francisco. He was living in Mill Valley, and is one of those humans with a fire that burns bright. At a young age, he jumped right in, helping us set up art shows, races, just down to do what needed to be done. As we got out to shoot, it was clear he was raised on a bike, and had an incredible amount of control. This suits track bikes in city environments really well. I keep these very basic sketchbooks with video short concepts, including short shot lists. In that sketchbook was Dylan’s intro. To get out from 12:00am to 5:00am on an early Monday Morning, and try to make a car free edit in the city. With Martin, Hunter, and Austin, We hit up some iconic SF locations, and sharing the streets with a small few on that night. California Street was always the Mavericks of the city hills. Over the years, Dylan really locked it in, and wanted to show that. Showing within one cut just how much speed a rider can absorb in a short distance.

MASH SF 1

Today we begin the process of sharing all of the chapters of the 2015 MASH video. Enclosed is the introduction to the feature project. Each month we will share a new chapter here, until all videos are posted. You can still own the HD video when you pick up the book. You can stream the full video for $5.00 on Vimeo HERE. We are still chopping up some bonus features for those who purchased the book. Look for that video later this spring.
