Two wheels ‘n’ Pub meals - A Thrash-tastic Australian street shredathon from the mysterious island of Tasmania. Interviewed by Greg Barnes

The hustle and bustle of the packed out Anchor back yard bar area was once again in full effect for the premiere of Tasmania’s latest street heavy audio visual offering, ‘Two wheels n pub meals’. Crews from all over Tasmania and Melbourne rocked up to get loose and party, as is quite often the tradition with social BMX events. The movie gained a really positive reception and there was much rejoicing!

Smooth, no frills editing from Sam Orchard (South, Forward motion) teamed with an extremely catchy soundtrack, crafty camera work, hilarious skits, and progressive/stylish riding. The production quality and over all vibe is inspiring and makes for a refreshing and extremely watch able video. Featuring stunts performed by Damo Gibson, Huge ‘horse boy’ Andrews, Sam G, Trav Parnell, Toby Orchard and some really nice mix sections. There is no doubt that by the time the viewer reaches the end credits they will be racing to lace up their kicks and preparing to crank full speed into the horizon.

1. So it's been a couple of weeks since the premiere of 'two wheels n pub meals' kicked off at the anchor. Were you happy with the reception it received and the general vibe?

The vibe at the premiere was unbelievable. I love Melbourne and the general positivity that goes hand in hand with the bmx scene. The amount of alcohol downed by everyone also added to a great night.

2. 'Two wheels' had a bit more of a laid back and community focussed feel to it in comparison to 'forward motion' your previous vid. What was your motivation behind this approach?

I guess a lot of bmx videos and kids are taking it far too seriously these days and it actually makes me laugh more than anything. Bmx, to me has only ever represented fun, good times and laughs so we kinda felt like it'd be better to represent the scene down here as just that rather than something that feels like a sponno tape. Fuck that!

3. There are some hilarious skits throughout the main edit. Had you been on some kind of 'Monty Python' marathon bender since the last time we spoke?

Ha-ha more of a Tim and Eric Awesome Show bender. I've been writing and filming a bunch of comedy skits over the last 6 months or so also which has kinda, unintentionally spilled over into my other work. Not a bad thing!

4. Can you tell us the story behind the medieval looking Bogan character that features in the introduction of the video?

Just a freak sitting at the skate park one morning completely oblivious to anyone around him. He was somewhat robotic in the way he was yelling out advice and support on how to ride. Unfortunately, we've never seen him since. But he did ride up Melifont St (the steepest street in Hobart) TWICE so he could get a root. But he never did. Poor guy.

5. Your brother Toby filmed half of the video this time around; did you notice any differences in how this effected the production?

A little. But only because I’m fussy. Also because he's my brother and we love to pick at each other's faults. He started filming a lot because I was busy with Uni and was working a lot on weekends when everyone was riding. I'd say we're about on par anyway.

6. Which section took the longest to compile and edit?

The last section. Well, the last three songs were all put together as one and I see them as one big section. I worked on it on and off for so long. I got a little lazy with the compositing of the names towards the end though. My computer hates After Effects and when too much is going on it starts to have a seizure. This resulted in losing a lot of work on a regular basis and was really frustrating. I got there eventually but as with any project me "finish" I still cringe at certain parts and wish I’d done them better.

7. Do you have a favourite section in particular?

The last section for sure. It's heaps of fun and that's exactly how I wanted to end the video. Break away from the norm of a "Hammer" section as the closer. Everyone else was a little sceptical when I first said that's what I was doing. But I like the idea of a more fun and community based section closing the video.

8. Any last words?!

You're my favourite customer. Thanks a lot. Bye!
