Gardner Raymond

Gardner (Gardy to his friends) began filming sports in high school, shooting for the lacrosse team, as well as the University of Delaware football team. During college at Penn State, he was on the PSU Football Video Staff for all four years, and was a filmer and editor for the PSU Snowboard Club and Team. After graduating in 2004, he moved to Big Bear Lake, California, where he was a contributing editor for the Big Bear Mountain website in the winter, and in the summer of 2005, he shot and edited for the Ocean Beach Surf Shop team in San Diego.

After another phenomenal winter in Big Bear, spending well over 100 days on the slopes, Gardy took a job in the summer of 2006 as a filmer for High Cascade Snowboard Camp in Oregon, before moving back East in the early fall. For the following two years, he worked in the Marketing department at Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon, NJ, where he served as the Marketing Multimedia Coordinator, a job that ranged from producing videos of ski and snowboard events to maintaining social networking web pages. He took a break during the summer of 2007 to travel with Aaron Chase and document the first QashQai Urban Challenge tour through Europe. The hijinx and happenings from that trip became the 2008 Chase Life Productions film "Bang Bang", which he also edited and co-directed. In the summer of 2008, Gardy began editing sections of the DH Productions film "Latitudes", and has recently joined the DH crew as a full-time editor.

Gardner Raymond is a 2004 graduate of the Penn State University Film Production Program, and is also recognized as an Apple Certified Pro User of Final Cut Pro. In addition to being a total video nerd, he has been snowboarding for over a dozen years, and recently picked up a serious mountain biking habit.

Mark Eaton

In May of 1988, Mark Eaton produced the first independent BMX/Freestyle video titled: "Dorkin' In York".

This was the first rider-produced video which would lead a revolution of independent, do-it-yourself videos in the years to come for the Action Sports video industries.

Over the course of Mark's 20yr. production career, he has produced / directed 18 BMX videos, numerous commercials, music videos, the Dave Mirra BMX Super Tour for TV Series for ESPN, and co-creator of the highly acclaimed Feature Documentary "Joe Kid on a Stingray - The History of BMX".

Mark has been regarded by many in the BMX bicycle industry as the pioneer of the BMX/Freestyle video. Combining the action of a sports video, and the style & creativity of a music video, Mark developed a signature style that people outside of the BMX/Freestyle industry began to take notice & gravitate to. Soon commercials & videos for products unrelated to bikes began appearing on Mark's reel, but that hasn't changed his feeling toward the BMX genre; "I was part of an era in BMX that was super-progressive but with little financial stability. I needed something to fall back on after I was finished riding competitively. I needed a creative outlet and I found it in filmmaking".

"Whether it's a stylistic music video, an action sports segment, or a high end corporate video, I apply the self-taught skills that I've developed in my 20yrs of production to create the best visually compelling stories I can. Pushing myself creatively, while progressing & advancing in my career keeps me happy".
