"HERE" - JOEL BARNETT

"Grab a shovel, mod a spot, load some film, and go create something with friends."

9 Jan 2025

Filmed and edited by Erik Doty

Following on from his 2014 DIG interview titled, "Nearly There", Nashville resident and long-time friend of the magazine, Joel Barnett hooked up with film-maker Erik Doty to produce this ten minute gem, honing in on how a simple spot can both focus and inspire the mind and soul. Joel still rips too.

"Riding alone has been a constant thread throughout my life - from my early days as an eager kid in West Auburn, PA, to where I am now in Nashville, TN. The simplicity of pedaling alone allows me to slow down and process the noise of everyday life. In the fall of 2023, Erik Doty and I documented what riding means to me today: brief moments of clarity at temporary spots, often hidden in plain sight. During this time, I rode a Work BMX frame made by John Corts that had a single Circuit BMX sticker on the top tube—an intentional reminder of friends in different places who inspire me to keep creating. You get what you give, so grab a shovel, mod a spot, load some film, and go create something with friends. “Here” is the complement to “Nearly There,” the 2014 Dig interview with Andrew White. Special thanks to Erik Doty, Sarah Taylor, and Alex Magallan." - Joel Barnett
