The Rick Thorne Show EP. #41 Bill Batchelor

The Rick Thorne Show

On this episode I interview legend photographer Bill Batchelor. In the interview we talk about his new book called, 'Concrete And Smog'. It's a book documenting the early days of BMX in the 1980's in Southern California. The book has photos of legendary riders at the Pipeline Skatepark, AFA, King Of Vert and King Of Street contests and the Southern California scene. This is such an awesome interview and book. We also talk about what it was like to grow up in a time when BMX was a new sport and how he was able to document such rad history of BMX. And rock out to LA punkers, Good Guys In Black song 'Time Slips Away'. Listen now and STAY RAD. FOLLOW: @bill_batchelorbmx @rickthorne @goodguysinblack @therickthorneshow @cookingwiththethornes
