'CHASING THE CLOCK'

BMX In The Baltics

A new full length from Toms Silins and the locals out in Riga, Latvia that they've been plugging away at for the last 8 years. Sit back and enjoy all their efforts.

"CHASING THE CLOCK is the name of our full-length BMX project hailing from Riga, Latvia. We're a group of close friends who are all lifelong riders. We're well in our thirties and wanted to leave something behind before riding off into the sunset.

For some of us this is our video debut, for some of us this was something more like a comeback, for most of us this is our last ever BMX video project. Each one of our small group of friends has a regular dayjob, a family and everyday struggles - same as with most BMX riders who at some point realize they are not 16 years old anymore. This is us trying to catch up with time that is constantly slipping away.

There’s this theory known as ‘log time’. It’s that as we age, a year becomes a smaller fraction of our entire lives up to that point.

A year for a 5-year-old is one fifth (or 20%) of their life so far, but a year to a 50-year old is one fiftieth of their life (or 2% of it) so it seems to pass ten times faster. If you’re 33, a year is 3% of your life so far, so time passes almost seven times faster than it did when you were five. Time for an 80-year-old passes almost in the blink of an eye, sixteen times faster than it does for a 5-year-old.

This video is us trying to catch up with time that is constantly slipping away. Hence the name - CHASING THE CLOCK." - Toms Silins
