Mike Escamilla - Realtime

Back To The Future

24 Oct 2017

Shot and cut by Fraser Byrne

Sometime in the Spring of 2016 our intrepid DIG documentary maker Fraser Byrne spent a day out in California with the legendary Mike Escamilla, on a pool hunting mission with Brian Castillo, Jason Enns and Andrew Lazaruk. Filmed shortly before the release of his United 'Caveman' bashguard frame we discover what daily life looks like nowadays for Rooftop and hear his thoughts on combining friendships and family with riding - past, present and future.

Mike Escamilla is supported by our Official DIG partners: United Bike Co
