I went to a BMX club with a friend but preferred digging my own holes to jump over. I first moved to Perth and met other people that rode in 2005. I started off riding in country Queensland because it was all I had to do as a kid. Have you always been on this side of the lens throughout your BMX career or was this something that came later in life and if so, how come? Figured I may as well show I can ride a bit too. That blew out to 2 years easily and during the process I managed to film a bunch of stuff during photo sessions. Originally I was only planning to shoot for 6 months. The plan for the book has changed so many times. I love the idea of dropping a video to go with the book, was this an intentional plan from the start? I think it can be way overthought at times. Its one of those shots you look back at and appreciate photography for its simplicity. We organised to meet up that day and the picture was a complete fluke, I dropped my flash down to talk with my wife and just hit the shutter last minute when I saw Ross approaching without considering any of the settings or where the sun was. The other picture would be of Ross at Scarborough doing the table in the deep end with the sun behind him.

Otherwise timing the traffic was easy with the lights and the way its side lit and full of grey tones makes the freshly painted white frame really pop. Bryce had the spot in mind but working out both of our work schedules, timing it for golden hour and Bryce rolling his ankles I think it took as about 3 months to make it actually happen. Probably Bryce’s downwhip under the freeway. Is there a particular image within the mag that stands out for you? Like seeing it in print makes it all worth it? The other thing is I had no idea how long I needed to shoot 50 pages of content, so giving people a release date was almost impossible. I ended up giving them one photo just to keep another for the book.

I had conversations with some of the boys that ended up with us bargaining. How hard was it for you to sit on photos for (in this day and age) quite a while? I know have trouble holding onto images I shoot. Initially I was only going to shoot for 6 months but full time work, uni study and house renovations stretched that out to 2 years and here we are in 2019. I was sitting on a few cool photos and thought why not create something memorable with them. I decided to start in 2017 when I had just turned 25. How long was the process from starting shooting for it up until having the finished product in your hands? I like filming people but capturing a split second is better. Putting 60+ photos in one place was the equivalent of a DVD in my eyes. Other than that there is nothing better for me than seeing a spot, picturing a way to shoot it and then bringing it all together. Ideally if I can help get kids stoked on both riding and shooting the next generation in Perth will hopefully continue in the current dudes footsteps. I want kids to have the chance to pick up something local and get stoked seeing a spot they have ridden before or driven past, be able to actually look at it in depth instead of scrolling past it. I wanted to contribute to that corner of BMX. I think I was lucky enough to experience magazines during my mid teens, before the uprise of social media and remember the joy I’d feel getting a new issue just to see what was happening around Australia and the world.
