jib: ‘late tape’ number five // sixty second savesies promo (# 3 of 3) 🌙 — some savesies featuring eight other riders at four spots. all of these clips are featured in the fifth and final jib tape. i created two totally ☀️ promos initially. here’s an entirely 🌙 promo to keep it consistent with my prior tape. — “everyone can relate to running late on things. some times “life happens” — where you get really busy and a project that you hoped to have finished earlier gets repeatedly pushed back. in my case, life almost didn’t continue to happen, so i’m proud to roll out my final jib tape project.” — all of the bmx riders featured in the entire video (in order of appearance): pat schlitzer, jon schimpf, fuzz, justin benthien, james hess, chief, fateem williams, jersey joe, adem gunaydin, chris aceto, rainer etsweiler, jeff purdy, kevin bass, eric capone, fran meehan, dan conway, nick bott, aeden feher, ben keegan, brendon reith, steve tassone, nick barrett, kevin vannauker, joe niranonta, matt miller, joby suender, john yoh the entire ‘late tape’ can be viewed @ youtube.com/@jibbmx check it out and let me know your thoughts. a lot has changed in my life since filming this, but i’m stoked to have finished this “time capsule” ( cc: @deliverables.proj ) — ♫ — the roots - “distortion to static (instrumental)” — text animation: @patschlitzer filmed/edited: @schimpfstagram — “better late than never” #bmx #riding #bmxstreet

last one ↳ the final clip i ever got on a bmx bike before my accident. it only touched story on august 15, 2022 — 12 days before my tbi flipped life sideways. pops park, my weekly spot, where i had plenty of sessions.
 i always tried to keep the grid tight — only put up what felt worthy (maybe too selective). this one sat buried, but in hindsight it hits different. feels right to let it breathe here now… the last time i ever clocked footy on two wheels. 🚲
 a few weeks before the day of my accident is definitely a bit fuzzy and i was in a coma for two months afterward but i definitely can tell i cut this up in premiere — my hand’s all over it. ramped speed cuts on the tail ends between clips for those quick & CLEAN🧼🫧 transitions, the same approach i’ve used since 2011 through the jib tape series. so yeah, this feels like a proper final “jibstagram” quick cut for the grid. at my old local, it hits different.
 had to piece back together the split story files @meta gave me with the ‘edits’ app, then tossed the @jibbmx logo @pat.schlitzer made on the timeline — doing this last one proper justice. if you haven’t yet, hit youtube and peep the final full length that I made from my tape series → jib: ‘late’ tape number five. even if you have, run it back. ✵

Forever grateful to @schimpfstagram for giving me a part in the last @jibbmx video It’s a miracle this part even came to fruition because I’m very self critical about my riding like everything else in my life so to have something I’m proud of in Bmx is a rare feeling I will never take for granted. Bmx hasn’t been my main focus the last few years because life got in the way like it tends to do but now that the mind and body is balanced again for the most part I hope to spend this summer putting my all back into to something that has giving me the feeling of true freedom

the time stamp on these caps, like much of the footage in the ‘late tape’ video, proves they were somewhat nostalgic caps, to say the least: ‘95pipes_train.mov’ + ‘kevinvannauker-95pipes-transfer_best.mov’ + ‘joby-95pipes_book-smart-but-also-street-smart_broll.mov’ all have a capture date of ‘may 20, 2020’, which was back in the days when entering any building meant masking up or getting dirty looks. if you never had the chance to ride these, kev and joby have confirmed that it’s a wrap. they got “capped” for sleeping bums. it was rideable when the steaks nearby on east oregon avenue were actually still called tony luke’s. good things only last so long. i’m glad that we were able to get some clips here when it was still a “thing” and who would’ve thought then that a random train filmed during a pandemic would be an opener to the last project that i would create like that? 📼📼📼📼📼 ✨ youtube.com/@jibbmx

📼📼📼📼📼 many memories made during the filming of the perpetually delayed ‘late tape’ number five. so much has changed since this final jib tape was filmed. i had a career change, as well as a life-altering injury, to name the most significant two. this long time personal project of mine has become an archive of sorts nowadays. so when i saw that @wobbly_gait had a behind the scenes collection of photos taken during my filming of the video stockpiled as well (on his end) i was stoked, i knew i had to have copies — so he tossed me a wetransfer collection. i first met steve way back in 2008 when i had an apartment in his hometown, phoenixville. we would ride street around that town before it got flipped & “transformed from a primarily industrial town centered around the phoenix iron works to a vibrant, walkable community with a thriving arts and entertainment scene, marked by a surge in new restaurants, breweries, shops, and housing developments”. when I first met him, he was graduating high school there and i was working my first job as a photography assistant at a studio nearby. fast forward to 2024 and he runs his own shop @215berks in philadelphia. a lot has changed since then.. i certainly feel old telling that story 🙃 anyways, enjoy this set of great captures that you may have already seen on his handle. i chose 9 of my favorites and consistently cropped them. 🤩✨ 📷 photo credit: steve tassone ( @wobbly_gait )

📼📼📼📼📼 @breith_ & @wobbly_gait take turns on a temporary kicker spot near the corner of girard x marlborough in the neighborhood that i lived in for over a decade. brendon touched peg on a usps mailbox prior to a mail carriers collection for the day. i like this little clip transition of the video. this feels like forever ago. if you haven’t checked out the ‘late tape’ number five, give it a look @: youtube.com/@jibbmx even if you have, check it again. this transition was snipped directly at ‘brendon reith (11:51)’

happy birthday to my longtime friend and collaborator @pat.schlitzer — this guy has been collaborating with me on the @jibbmx project since the very beginning, way back when the first video was released on vimeo in 2011 (uploaded on august 1, 2011, at 12:56 am). about three months ago, i had a “now or never” moment and got inspired to work on ‘late tape’ 5. it’s now finished and will be released this wednesday. as always, pat delivered amazing text animation for this fifth and final installment. he also managed to get a clip at norris square park in the last two releases (rip puerto rican park ledges). this spot is special to me, as i used to live less than two blocks away on north mascher street, so it honestly brings back great memories. it only felt right to pair these two clips together and give pat a shoutout on his birthday. thanks for everything, bro.
