Ryan Upchurch and Cameron Ward ages 15 and 13, are the only two riders that are on the US District Team. Up until earlier this summer, they had never gotten a chance to ride together. When they finally got the chance, they both took full advantage...and the result is hands down one of my favorite videos I've seen in a long time.
To see Ryan ride in person is something that is tough to even put to words. It's kind of simple with Ryan, whatever the trick is, or whatever he's doing it over or down...if he wants to do it. He will do it. Simple as that. He honestly is that talented.
With Cameron it's basically the same...to watch Cam ride in person is kind of a reality check to how consistant a rider can be. He's got so much natural ability and style to his riding, that everything he does just sort of flows together effortlessly. At only 13 years old, I feel we've yet to even see his true potential. I guess that can easily be said about District riders.
As the Manager of both Ryan and Cameron, I have to say I am extremely proud of both of them. This video showcases why they are both on the District Team. Good job to both of you guys. Keep it up.
wth when did cam ward get so good? his section was heaps better then his S60

ReplyDeletechrisdant
I didnt really like this as much as i thought i would. There were some really good tricks but just wayy to much filler. I feel like a 5 minute video would have been better.
ReplyDeletelove you ryan, flair whip to truck dbars piramid was dumb dude

ReplyDeleteRyan's stuff was just redic,truck and whip to bar and boardslide the Brea 12 were insaneeeee.
ReplyDeleteCam is gettin really good too,he already has amazing style.
yoooo tht waaz amazzing ... I WATCHED THA WHOOLLE THAANG
ReplyDeleteNick - who are you, the James Cameron of scooter vids? Maybe you could learn something from this vid!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know right! That's love right there.
ReplyDeleteBecause Dylan Kasson is cool and ONLY makes DVDs now.
ReplyDeleteWe flew Ryan to California, because Ryan's never been to California and always wanted to go. And wouldn't you know it! He had a camera with him....Want to know the weird thing? THEY USED HIS CAMERA?! And filmed clips?!?!?! But don't worry Dylan.....it gets even weirder! They made a video after with all the clips they filmed!
Shocking isn't it.
Ahhh, now theres sarcasm at its greatest. Amazing post steven <3
ReplyDeletei just dont get the point in filming for youtube comments and views there are other things that are way more real you can do with good riding people putting all this effort into web edits is never going to get scooters anywhere
ReplyDeleteDylan, a DVD of 2 team members isnt going to be very long or worth filming. I think when the district team grows with more people then a DVD would make sense. But for now youtube is fine.
ReplyDeleteAnd to the Anonymous who said this...
"Nick - who are you, the James Cameron of scooter vids? Maybe you could learn something from this vid!!!!"
Ive been around in this sport much longer than you, acomplished much more than you, and am a very good a friend of cameron and ryan. And lastly, there is nothing wrong with some constructive criticism.
Seriously Dylan...all this "Is never going to get scooters anywhere" from you in the past couple years is really lame..
ReplyDeleteYou act like YOUR projects are going to just take the sport to a whole new level. You spend most of your time finding any reason to cut down other riders who YOU don't see as up to your standards. It's sad dude... You got talent on your scooter, and with a camera, but without either...you're a fucking dick. Sad but true...and everyone knows it.
Oh and you don't understand making videos for youtube comments and views? Need I remind you that you're one of the few people in the sport that has over 10 Mini videos....all of which can be found, On Youtube.
LOL steven, makin it rain!!
ReplyDeletethe proto dvd is going to take the sport to a whole new level and i filmed for youtube a long time ago i dont anymore because i know my efforts for the proto dvd will be worth it
ReplyDeleteDude...listen to yourself though. You honestly think and feel like everything revolves around Proto... You talk about pushing the sport? You're not trying to push the sport dude....You're trying to push Yourself, and Proto AS the Sport.
ReplyDeleteYou got it so twisted dude.
I'm done arguing with you here. If you want to take your chances and revive this argument in person...that's fine.
Rape!!!
ReplyDeleteback to the video, that was fucking sick!
ReplyDeleteok enough arguing....Dylan is making himself out to seem like an asshole anywas.
ReplyDeletebut i agree with the Anon above this video is sick. Cam has some nicee style stuff and Ryan is basically a nut
oh yeah and dylon. its not just on youtube. its on IS too
ReplyDeleteryan upchurch makes my tummy tickle!! =)))))
ReplyDeleteRyan Upchurch is Bad Ass and Proto is not.
