FINDING THE CREATIVE FLOW WITH BOBBY BLOX

A film by Jack FitzWilliam

 

Riding means different things to different people. For Bobby Blox, it's an escape from a rough childhood. Bike Life, a community of (mostly illegal) street stunt riders, provides solace for those like Bobby who are facing adversity. They express themselves through bike customization, fashion, photography and entrepreneurship. I've always wanted to create a micro-doc piece on this phenomenon. When I saw that my friend (street/urbex photographer Larry Bommarito) shot a few photos of him in an abandoned warehouse just outside Lambert Airport, St. Louis, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to tell Bobby's story.
