OTP X The Yea | Eeshond Kirk

OTP (Outside The Philth) and The Yea have released a new video featuring Eeshond Kirk. The video expands on Eeshond’s recent “Fuckswitit Fridays” video which was released last month as the fourth installment in the ongoing series presented by The Yea. Eeshond’s latest offering is paired with a perfect song to accompany his riding, and together they give off a great vibe throughout the video. I’ll never get sick of those 540’s to fakie; click play and check it out.

Filmed and edited by Buck Milliken with additional filming by Shilo Staniech.

“This was a long time coming but it’s finally done! From waking up at 7am to ride a rather affluent area, to sketchy abandoned colleges, we did it all. Eeshond is a fuckin’ shredder that rides just about everything. Don’t skip this one… Special thanks to Matt Smith over at TheYea.com, awesome gear to freshen up your kit. Hit the site for more awesome content as well as Instagram @theyea, @mattheyea, and the boys @outsidethephilth. Cheers!”- Buck Milliken

Photo Gallery: Kink X Berks Street Jam

On Saturday, October 14th, 2017, the Kink BMX crew including Matt Miller, Tony Hamlin, Joe Niranonta, Jake Petruchik, Casey Starling, Breyon Woods (Bdub), and Kink video producer Darryl Tocco rolled through the streets of Philadelphia for a jam co-hosted with the Berks Street BMX Shop. The Kink crew was met with near perfect weather and an anxious crowd of BMX riders ready to throw down. The event made use of an empty parking lot at the John H. Webster Elementary School located across the street from the shop. A makeshift street course was assembled using a number of moveable obstacles including several rails and boxes, a bolted down pole jam, and even a fence for the afternoon. Shout-out to Gene Barclay for shooting the event on our behalf, Steve at Berks Street for constantly working to bring the BMX community in the Philadelphia area together and the Kink crew for always supporting the Philly scene.

The video is composed of footage Jeff wasn’t using for any long-term projects although he has been heavily involved in shooting for the DG’s upcoming third DVD release, ‘Rerouting’. Jeff might not be a resident of Pennsylvania, but his routine visits and affiliation with many of the crews in the state have kept our eyes on him for years. Make sure you keep yours peeled for more from Jeff in DNS2 and Rerouting, coming soon.

Interview: Joe Niranonta

Photo: Chris Marshall

Joe Niranonta is the definition of the term, working-class BMX rider, juggling a full-time job working in boiler rooms in New Jersey while maintaining his status as an AM rider for Animal and Kink Bikes after hours. In those after hours, Joe can usually be found in the streets of Philadelphia pushing his dreams forward one pedal at a time.

Joe is from Levittown, Pennsylvania and is the oldest of three brothers. All of which ride BMX. For the Niranontas, BMX has become a family trait. One that started with their late father, Paitool, and has transcended through four generations of the family name. On the verge of completing filming for the highly anticipated ‘Chocolate Truck Two’ video, we spoke with Joe about the upcoming video, the launch of the Niranonta brand, how it all started and much more. You can read the full interview, after the jump.
