You might not immediately recognize Terry Barentsen‘s name, but it’s likely your YouTube algorithm has pushed one of his videos onto your feed in the past.
Terry is a filmmaker based in New York who makes a video series called “Hotline” where he chases bikers through crowded streets, weaving through pedestrians, traffic, and any other unexpected obstacles that pop up along the route. His videos have a skate video quality to them, reminiscent of GX1000 videos or an old Tommy Guerrero part, where the subject maneuvers through an unpredictable environment in perfectly chaotic style.
We had a gut feeling that Terry drew some inspiration from skateboarding for his work, so we hit him up to see if we could get a peek into his process. Turns out, Terry does have a background in skateboarding, and although he may not be one of those older heads hitting morning sessions at the local park before the kids flock out, he still has a long lasting appreciation for skating.
Watch along as we stop by Terry’s studio, sit and talk about the links between skating and cycling, and try to keep up with a world champion cyclist blasting through the streets of Brooklyn.

That was pretty cool visually. Not sure putting civilians at risk is really the thing though but I’m old so what do I know?

I dislike basically the entirety of BMX culture. Action sports culture in general is so f*ckward. I wish kids would read into athletes who got sober and regained control of their career/life. The image is still lame though, sober or not. lol. BMX is weird.
