I grabbed the Canon G9 and headed to Brooklyn Projects opening and launch of the Nemo produced book FREESTYLIN’. Nike SB’s, John Martin asked Nemo creative director Mark Lewman if he could do anything for BMX what would he do. Lewman brought the old band together from the Freestylin’ days and put together an amazing historical outline of the pioneering days of freestyle BMX. Spike Jones and Andy Jenkins collaborated in their original roles and put together the book.
BMX racing will debut in China at the Olympics next month and Nike SB has been doing promotions to bring focus to the new event. Michael Lau designed special limited edition Blazers for the promotion and if you were at the party in LA the he also design two special edition toys and a show box that is so unique and original!
Where can you get one of these lovely books from??
Funny you should ask.
on the DL, we are putting together a “contest” to give out a few of these FREESTYLIN’ book. Stay tuned the blog.
I need one of these books. Excited to find out how to get one!!
I grew up in Torrance where Freestylin was produced and would pick up a magazine every month. Man it was the best time of my life. The riders of that time were the best and got to ride with a few of them. I still own a couple of the magazines. Can you please let me know how or where I can get one of the books.
Lewman is working up a deal to have some fun with these limited edition books. We seriously only have 100 left.
Will the contest be posted here? I would like to purchase one if possible. Thanks for the info.

there’s 1 on ebay!!!!
I used to be Lew’s roommate and worked at FREESTYLIN’ for a while, but I’m out of the loop now, obviously. Is there any way to get a FREESTYLIN’ book besides ebay???
