Lists.

Found this multi-page improvised pocket journal in one of my old camera bags this weekend. It's an index of stuff I had in mind to shoot for bmx is cute and didn't want to forget--things I spotted from the highway or in strange neighborhoods that I knew my memory would have no way to catalog, as well as various other video-related creative inspirations. I think the list happened partly as a manifestation of how little time I had to ride during the last semester of my senior year of college.



For the record, St Louis has the richest, most stress-free geographical density of street terrain of any place I've ever lived or visited.

Everyone has a list like this, right?

    I will be returning to St. Louis with the screen grabs of this to go on some searching missions

  3. Sandy Carson used to have lists like this pinned on the wall of his basement rathole in Bethlehem PA, and I was amazed and confounded by such a methodical approach to the craft of professional BMX. I'll have to dig up documentation of Jim Greco's utterly obsessive approach to the same end: it's awesome, involving color-coded paper chains hanging in garlands around his disgusting, bombed-out bachelor pad.
