ECD – Reid Menzer Trip Photos

Nilo Hodge just blessed the East Coast Destruction website with a Christmas Eve gallery of photos shot back in November during a trip to the Reid Menzer Skatepark in York, PA. The gallery includes shots of Dustin Clewell, Grant Bass (pictured above), Weng, and Tom Gorse who is a local at the park and was already on site when the ECD crew arrived. A video from the session is expected to surface in the near future. You can read some words from Nilo about the trip and the video project below and don’t forget to check out all the photos via the ECD website by clicking here.

“We met a videographer a while back that let us know that he was interested in shooting a bmx video with us at some point. Last Month, when he was ready to get it done, we took a trip down to Reid Menzer park in York to film with him. It was a crazy warm day in November, until about 3 p.m., then a wild storm rolled in and the temperature dropped like 15 degrees. The videographer brought some wild ass gear to shoot the edit with. I’m psyched to see how it turns out. We’ll post it when he’s done. But for now here’s a few photos Nilo shot throughout the day.” – Nilo Hodge

On the heels of ECD’s recent Afternoon With Chopper edit, Nilo Hodge has just released another short filmed video through ECD featuring Dustin Clewell. The edit was filmed during a session at Penn Skate in around thirty minutes time. Although the edit clocks in at just a little over a minute in duration and was filmed in about a half hour time frame, the video is full of impressive riding by Dustin. Hit play and check it out.

Afternoon With Chopper

East Coast Destruction released a new edit featuring Chopper last week through their website. Although this one has already made the rounds online it couldn’t be overlooked for our archives and is easily worth a second watch for anyone who’s already seen it. Chopper and Nilo Hodge filmed the edit during a two hour session at the Bethlehem Skateplaza. You can read some words from Nilo about the filming process below.

“I met up with Richard “Chopper” Viands at the Bethlehem Skateplaza to shoot a thirty minute edit. Thirty minutes turned to an hour, an hour turned to two hours. After two hours I decided to name this edit Afternoon With Chopper. He has an awesome style, super technical but can throw down huge stuff whenever.” – Nilo Hodge
