It isn't the instrument thats being played that makes the difference, but the man who plays it.

Dave Twiss – Photo: Lino Gonzalez
This is an amazing shot of legendary Maine rider Dave Twiss doing a fakie air barspin. The best thing about his barspins are that he learned them on random sketchy Portland setups and has never touched a foam pit. I have seen Dave pedal so fast at a fakie air its seriously scary and I have literally never seen anyone get as much height on them. Not to mention he’s throwing a barspin in this. Lino shot this one while the 90East and 207 crew were riding together last fall. Check the face to bar ratio. I will pay for Daves airplane ticket just to go to the next T1 fakie air contest because I know for a fact that he will win. (click for higher res)

Tim Packard Videography
Lewiston-Auburn, Maine native Tim Packard is one of the most respected and dedicated riders in New England hands down and has been putting out a steady flow of edits of the local scene in the Southern Maine area since the early 2000′s (prob alot earlier than that) and especially the last year or so. He just got ahold of a new Panasonic (hooked up from videographer/skiier/bmxer/friend Taylor Mcintosh) to keep things rolling official. This is just another great asset to help grow bmx in the area and it just makes it fun filming and having that productive balance. Whether its filming a solid view or capturing some awesome riding.

Down by the wharf. January 26, 2012
Today was slightly warm which allowed for some light riding and to take the camera out to capture some of those January thaw moments before spring comes. When it gets warm and the sun comes out during winter its one of those great feeling and peaceful times. Video and photography has officially started for Accent. Rocco DiDonato was shooting some photos today at the wharf off of commercial st. The wharf brings on a vibe as if you are unattached from the rest of downtown, Portland and your sort of at the edge of town in this jungle of crooked, old, weathered buildings that muffle all the sound from the streets inland.
