This is Jeff D's uncle Curtis.  Curtis is a special effects dude for hollywood features, but in his down time he designs and builds amazing bicycles.  Here he is standing in front of just a few of the historical bikes in his collection.  Super inspiring dude.

Steve is pretty critical of images of himself, but  this is one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken.
Wamboin NSW Australia, 2010

One of my favorite shots from our stay at Cam White's place.

Jared Hess on one of Decker's Triumphs.

Got the chance to work with Jeff Decker again.  Always a pleasure.

Our buddy Stephen got a new van, a very nice van! Great to see people looking after each other. Aaron Cooke, the Athlete Recovery Fund and a million other people made this happen for Stephen. Look closely and you will see a Steve and Tim video playing in Stephen's Van.

Bad News from Wamboin.
Cam did blow out his knee, in other words he tore his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)
So we are heading back to the States and we will see what Cam decides to do this season.

another shot from cam's yard

 Jaie Toohey at cam's yard last night.

steve covering the action here at cam's yard.

Work in the Aussie countryside is starting to feel a bit like a holiday. Don't tell our families we are having such a good time. Cam stressed his knee a bit so he is giving it a few days rest. So tonight we are having a NED KELLY party. I did not know who Ned was then Cam told us about him and now we see him everywhere. Check out Ned's famous armor.

we have been here in Australia for a week now, one more week to go.  Cam is a stellar subject to film.  

We are in the country outside of Canberra, Australia. We are at Cam White's Farm for 2 weeks shooting a Firsthand for Fuel TV. Cam is one of the nicest dudes and his parents are treating us like kings.

Alusa / Fidalis Art Project Session #3 from Solpin Films on Vimeo.

Video #3 in the Alusa/ Fidalis art project. I will have to admit that I was influenced by TIm’s post yesterday on Ranch Exit and I had to use some Jazz music and make a painting montage. Also I have been doing so much documentation of Paul and Fidalis’ painting together, I though I better give them a little space. We let them paint alone without cameras and when we returned to Fidalis’ studio they were on the floor painting listen to some jazz. There was a peaceful creative spirit in the room. Thanks Fidalis for sharing your time and yourself with Paul.

We had nothing to do with this video, but it's awesome

Alusa / Fidalis Art Project Session #2 from Solpin Films on Vimeo.

Session #2 from the Alusa/Fidalis art project.
Also we got some funding and we are part of an art show at Art Access in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 20, 2010.

Today some more advice from Cory Nastazio.

More Nasty advice.

Had a great week in Toronto.
Great crew, great city.
Did two 30 second commercials for Flick Trix the mini BMX bikes.

Angry Unicorn Queen from Solpin Films on Vimeo.

Angry Unicorn Queen, we used this song in the behind the scene featurette (home DVD version- not Netflix version) of the new Jared Hess film, Gentlemen Broncos. It is a great song, see if you can spot Ollie Hulme in this clip!

Perhaps the best finger biker in the world, a 13 year old dude from Toronto.
I am having fun doing a toy commercial in Canada.

ROCK AND ROLL FAMILY NIGHT!!!
This Saturday at Velour in Provo, Utah,
SEVE vs. EVAN.
Bring the kids, bring the family and let the wild rumpus start!
I am trying to talk the band into going out for ice cream with us afterwards.
Bring some ear plugs, your dancing shoes and get ready to introduce your kids to ROCK and ROLL!
Seve vs. Evan = great live show,
they have songs about unicorns, robots, cowboys, pirates, dinosaurs and so on...

I am in Toronto, Canada again for another toy commercial. This is a great city and it fun to do toy bikes again.

Check out our friend Nigel's bike, we did a Firsthand on him a few years ago.

Another good day on the Alusa/Fidalis art project, in fact we even got a little funding from Art Access in Salt Lake City. Check out more photos here.

Another bit of advice from our man Stephen Murray, his 2 sons are in this spot with him.

We did not do this one but I love this man Donavon Frankenreiter.
Good advice.
He is a pro surfer and a musician.

BMX advice from the man Stephen Murray.

About 1 penny's worth of advice from Ronnie F.
I guess taking care of your tools is a good pointer.

More advice from Nasty, my favorite part is how proud he was of his advice off camera, Nasty Rules!

More Ronnie Faisst advice, RIP Bruce.

Even more advice, this time from our friend Stephen Murray.

Russell Johnson's Theme from Solpin Films on Vimeo.

Clip #2 from the upcoming Seve vs. Evan film. So this is another passion project, no money just for fun, because I love their music and I feel these guys are worth celebrating. So this will be a freestyle sing-along documentary in the spirit of the freestyle documentaries of the great Norwegian filmmaker and artist Maggie Henriksen.
