Print Matters: Ride PA BMX

"Ride PA BMX Issue One is the first in a series of publications consisting of a mix of interviews, photo galleries and event coverage provided through the generous contributions of the photographers and riders themselves. The first issue features sixty-four pages of original content printed on gloss pages in full color. While I facilitated the content with the contributors, wrote on a few articles and conducted interviews, Matt Smith of The Yea assisted in spearheading the project. Matt also handled the art direction and design giving the zine a clean look and authentic feel that's true to traditional BMX print media."

"In a day and age where people are scrolling through their phones, double tapping every post as fast as possible while some how having an in-person conversation at the same time is incredible. Be it texts, instagram, sports, news, politics, etc., everyone's only paying attention half of the time, or so it seems... Putting together a PA-based magazine  helped everyone involved to have a little more permanence to the scene. It helps everyone who reads it feel a little more than a vibration or a blip on your screen."
