Tilt Presents: Tyler Wheeland's Signature Nimbus Fork

Tyler's fork is out now and so is his video to promote it.  Both the fork and video turned out great, one of my favorite videos this year for sure.  To find out more I did a little interview with him, check it out:


Jordan Jasa:  So you're finally releasing your video and dropping a signature Tilt fork, how are you feeling about that?

Tyler Wheeland:  I'm so stoked man, I can't believe it.

What can you tell us about the fork?

It's basically a sleeker and cooler looking Legacy fork. Collin and I were talking about a fork for a while but I didn't think it would actually happen this quick.

Cool cool.  So you've been working on an HD video promo as well, can you tell us about that?

My homie Dojo moved to LA and we would hang out a lot then one day I just asked if he was down to film a short video and then we had no use for he footage so we kept stacking until we had some use for it and it lined up perfectly with the fork idea so we got it done. The set up is great we have generators and lights so it's a bunch of night footage.

I've seen a few of your clips being filmed and it's definitely super legit.  This will be one of the first HD street videos done "right" (in my opinion).  What are your thoughts on filming HD vs SD?  Any preference over the other?

I'm cool with whatever as long as its filmed well. I'm filming SD for the Tilt DVD right now and it's going pretty well. I hate handheld dslr and I think HD is hardly ever done right. When it's done right it looks cool though.

For sure.  Speaking of that, whats up with the DVD?  Any planned release date?

I've got no idea. Tentatively fall 2013 is what I heard. We have a trip coming up with the whole team that's gonna be good.

Word.  So your fork is named the Nimbus and your name is written on it in the Harry Potter font, so I should probably ask you a HP related question.  Which of the 7 is your favorite book, and why?

Everything always comes back to this. Book wise number 5 Order of the Phoenix is my favorite because the students take over and kill it so hard.

Good answer.  Well I think that about wraps it up unless there's anything else you wanna say?

Support the real and get dirty in the streets. Take to many pictures and make great memories.


Awesome.  Thanks Tyler, and congrats on the fork.

Tilt Scooters Presents: Tyler Wheeland

Tyler surprises me everytime he gets on a scooter. He's really come full circle as a rider, in the past three years. His wallrides are easily some of the best in the sport, if not the best, and you couldn't come close to his passion for Harry Potter. He's one of my closest friends I've made in the sport, and seeing him throwdown harder than he ever has in this edit below, really gets me stoked. Get ready to rape the replay button with this one.

Calling it now. Without a doubt one of my top three favorite videos of 2012.






THE CLIFF IS HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!%!!!!!1!!!!!!!

Tyler Wheeland and Josh Young Tilt Throwaway

Tyler Wheeland recently released this throwaway edit, which in my opinion has some stuff that I wouldn't consider throwaway. Tyler has come full circle as a rider, something a lot of riders don't do. Started at the bottom, and has worked hard to get to where he is today. I really like this edit.... yes 80% of that is due to the song.





Next up is Josh Young. Another rider who started from very humble beginnings. Wasn't very well known, and progressed pretty slowly early on. That changed quickly and Josh started to really come into his own. His style got better and better, and his riding got really clean. Easily one of the funnest riders to watch now a days. Check out his throwaway below.

Tyler Wheeland "Doin it" for TILT

Check out TWhee in this sequence shot by Shelby Grimnes, doing his thing for TILT.

Also Tyler, just in case you didn't know, ABC Family is playing Harry Potter alllll day today. Doin it.




p.s. And for those who don't know..yeah check that tattoo he has. That's the Deathly Hallows symbol. What up.
