editors note
Welcome to the first issue of FiveFiveNine magazine! There have been more than a few challenges getting to this point but we’re here and we hope you like it. FiveFiveNine was started predominantly as a photographer’s magazine, so expect to find every issue full of photos from all your favorite photographers and also many you may have never heard of. It is also a bicycle magazine, mountain bikes mostly, so that’s pretty much the subject of most of the photos. You won’t find any news or reviews in here, there are plenty of websites and printed mags out there that can give you that if that’s what you’re looking for. I started FiveFiveNine while I was looking for an outlet for all the great photos that accumulate year after year and never get published. I thought, “if I have all these photos sitting around then other photographers must as well” so I called up Harookz and Sterl and Mattias and a few other guys and asked them. The answer was a unanimous yes, we just needed a way to get them out there. There are really very few paper bike mags that publish more than a few photos outside of stories, so hopefully this will become the place to go for all the photos that should have been printed, but never were. Also because we’re digital we can do things that the paper mags can’t. (Check out the sequence of Darren Berrecloth on page 28 for an example) and as we grow we’ll showcase more and more photography from great up and coming shooters, as well as the pros that you already know. Let us know what you like and don’t like and feel free to suggest any photographers you think are worthy of having their work published in FiveFiveNine. - ian hylands {editorial director}

At a very young age, I eliminated the following from my vocabulary: “should have, would have, could have”. This mindset enabled me to transform my dream of having fun for the rest of my life into reality, avoiding the contamination of a repetitive 9-5 schedule. I enjoyed snapping photos of my friends shredding with my mom’s point-nshoot so I gave the “photography” thing a whirl. After many mistakes, I taught myself a thing or two or three hundred and now I’m very grateful to still be hanging out with my best friends… riding, traveling and sniping stills as a career. Mountain biking, surfing and snowboarding keeps my A.D.D. and O.C.D. under remission. www.harookz.com

Jerome Abramovitch is a Montreal-based photographer and a world-renowned performance artist. Since 1996, he has shot an extensive body of work documenting his involvement within underground counter-cultures. He also happens to be an ex-bike messenger who worked on and off the road from 1997 to 2004 as he built up his freelance photography career. His main business and portfolio operates under the banner of chapter9photography.com while his messenger documentary has its own sub-portal at projectmessenger.com.
Caleb Smith is a Kiwi photographer who crossed over from the skateboard world into mountain biking after making the switch from four little wheels to just two big ones. He is the publisher of SPOKE Magazine in New Zealand and works closely with the top talent in the country, as well as the talent coming to NZ on roadtrips and filming missions. Caleb has a knack for enduring harassment from American riders, and has even survived an adventure with Hans Rey through the depths of Africa–even floating the majority of his expensive camera gear through the dangerous waters of Lake Jipe in an even more dangerous “boat”.

The ever elusive photographer Colin Meagher can usually be lured out of his secret underground lair with an offering of bikes, beer, and tequila. This solitary creature is most likely to be found stalking the World Cup mountain bike circuit or lurking in the high alpine of the Pacific Northwest. Extensive sightings have also been documented in Colorado, Utah, California, the BC Interior, and the more mountainous regions of Europe. Approach with caution as the slightest hint of “work” may cause this shy creature to flee into the wilderness. www.inmotionphoto.com

DAY IN THE LIFE OF BOYKO
photography by harookz & words by ben boyko
During January in the winter of 2008, I suffered a knee injury while riding in California. I was riding some small stupid jumps with some friends when my foot slipped off the pedal and my toe got twisted and I tore my meniscus. After my meniscus reconstructive surgery and six months of recovery off the bike, including four months being non weight baring. To fill the time off my bike I was building jumps so when I recovered I would have some sweet lines to shoot. This article is based on a day in the life, while recovering from my knee injury and staying productive. *note although these images were spiced up they were not staged* - ben boyko
I usually start my days with an early wake up. I have a long list of things to do.
After rolling out of bed I start with my daily shave to keep my looks razor sharp.
It takes me quiet a long time to find my stuff get ready and get out the door. page one sevem
It’s been ongoing process to keep things in working order, everything always seems to be broken.
Chain saws are most necessary for building stunts, gotta keep the chain sharp at all times, although it’s my least favorite activity. page one eight
Nothing beats ripping into some fresh fur with the MS 880. Makes for some nice big fat slats. After months of hard work I’ve had stunts ripped down, in some cases before I could even shoot them. These days I’ve been forced to keep my building missions low key.
page two zero
Getting stuck in traffic is my second least favorite activity
Towards the end of the day after a productive mission building, the weather has caught up and getting out is a little more of a challenge than getting in. I was mud bogging through a swamp and I got caught up in on a rock. Instead of taking the time to think it out I just tried to hammer it out, which ultimately severed the drive shaft. I ‘Come-a longed’ the truck out of the swamp and I left it there which will be another mission tomorrow.
There are two sides to the business the phone and emails. I usually find myself replying too and sending out e-mails an average of 160 a day. page two three
Arriving home to change gears from on the field to the office. Notice how I’m very good at multitasking, I get on the phone for a couple hours and deal with business.
By the time all my hard work is done it leaves very little time to cook quality meals, I fry up some quick dinner.
After a crazy eventful day I relax on the patio enjoying a light cocktail. I gather my thoughts and make a plan for the next day. At this point it looks like tomorrow is going to be just as exciting.

Yuri is one of the most enthusiastic bicyclists around, whether it’s a road bike or a mountain bike, he’s a fan. He’s a full time school teacher and one of the hardest working bicycle advocates in the North Bay area of Northern California. He rides for Marin Mountain Bikes. The location is on the fringe of Calistoga, Ca, on a “stealth” trail that runs off the Oat Hill trail. That particular section is some butter single track, but it’s bordered by the largest poison oak plants I have ever seen. They weren’t bushes so much as they were trees. Other than that, or maybe because of that, the Oat Hill trails are the quintessential Northern California trail: fast, smooth, semi-legal, and no riding off the trail unless you really like poison oak soap.” photographer : colin meagher

But if you’re headed to Oahu, he’s the man to track down for riding beta. This was a wall ride on the West Kanaula Trail. It’s an amazingly diverse location that has big bike and XC trails snaking everywhere through the Hawaiian jungle. It’s a place to ride only if you’re with a local, in part because you could easily get turned about and spend a few extra hours out there, and also because portions of the trails snake across private property. The kind of private property where a pack of pig hunting dogs might decide to take a piece out of your ass. The locals use pit bulls for pig hunting.” photographer : colin meagher location : hawaii

PROJECT MESSENGER
photography by jerome abramovitch
For the past 14 years, he has evolved from an underground artist shooting personal & documentary work to a commercial photographer taking on the worlds of entertainment, sports, fashion and advertising. Jerome’s inherent nature to seek, explore and be that which is different has gained him the kind of recognition and marketable appeal that can only be attained by such an unconventional and driven individual. The stark honesty of his photographs is testament to who he is as an artist, the eccentric characters that surround him and the intimate bonds they share. His work and his own image are well recognized in Europe, Japan, not to mention the Americas... at least in the right circles. Jerome moves seamlessly between object, subject, voyeur, and documenter. Jerome’s extreme creativity has been immortalized twice in the Guinness World Book of Records; he has been featured in media worldwide such as Ripley’s Believe it or Not, the Learning Channel, the Ricki Lake Show, Pro-Sieben in Germany, Medical Incredible in Australia, on top of countless magazines and internet sites. He is also notoriously known as the cover model for the Modcon Books (North American & Japanese editions) documenting the Modern Primitive 2.0 movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Exhibitions include the Quebec City Museum of Civilization and a solo exhibit at Montreal’s legendary underground Foufounes Électriques.
Jerome is currently working on new pieces for his Mannequin Series, as well as traveling the world to shoot his eccentric collection of friends. Travel plans for 2009 include the Cycle Messenger World Championships and a solo exhibit in Tokyo in September. His projectmessenger.com book is scheduled for a late 2010 release. The Montreal “Coupe Des Glaces” is an annual bike messenger ice race held every first weekend of February. The ice racing concept has been developed by the Toronto bike messenger community since the late 90s. The first ice race in Montreal was in 2003 as a part of Fete des Neiges winter festival; the Montreal concept and venues have evolved over the past few years. The race demands as much from the racers as it does from the volunteers: average temperatures have hovered at -20°C without including the windchill factor added in from strong winds supplied the St-Laurence river’s close proximity. The Ice Cup competitions have generated plenty of positive attention from the media. The event has also showcased winter transport by bicycle to the general public.

EL SALVADOR
photography by ian hylands & words by steve mitchell
After the Christmas holidays talks usually start up among our friends about spring trip ideas and I’m usually up for any good epic as long as it involves more than just sitting on a beach escaping dark, rainy coastal BC. Last January, pro rider Dave Watson mentioned to me that a group of friends including riders, industry honchos, and a photographer were loosely planning a surf and bike trip to El Salvador. As it was the only country I had skipped on a previous motorcycle adventure to Central America, it didn’t take much convincing before I was all in. Plans came together, bikes and boards went into boxes, and we set off from our varying locations en route to Central America. The confirmed attendants were pro free riders Matt Hunter & Dave Watson, photographer Ian Hylands, Bike Magazine publisher Derek Dejong, and Steve Delacruz. Dejong had been to El Salvador many times and he’d arranged for us to stay at a place he already knew close to a surf break known as Punta Roca. As with most Central American countries, one of the first evident things on our arrival in El Salvador was the huge contrast between the poverty of the people and the natural beauty of the country. People were extremely friendly and genuinely happy to see visitors though. El Salvador’s tourism industry is on the rise and you can choose to vacation as cheaply or as extravagantly as you like, we chose to live on the cheap and we spent only about $150 each for the entire week including meals. Oh and beer was less than a buck.
Our host, Bob Rotherham, runs the Punta Roca surf camp in the little dust bowl town of La Libertad. The camp has no fixed address but if you tell the cabbie it’s 150 meters north from the town pier he’ll get you there. It’s the closest accommodation to the surf break and our rooms were above the kitchen and right next to the bar of the restaurant. While fairly basic they were at least airconditioned. The break was just a short walk down a dusty old road and along a bit of rocky beach, so we were drawn to the ocean every day. There was also a break right in front of the restaurant, but it wasn’t nearly as nice. While the primary “goal” of our trip was to scout free ride lines and trails it became more and more obvious that we were here to surf. It was scorching hot during the day and if you weren’t in the water you felt like you were going to melt. The swell was so big when we arrived that every surf break on the coast except for Punta Roca was closing out, which meant every surfer for miles was trying to surf our massive right-handed wall of water. After I had bounced off a few rocks, seen the odd broken board, and been swept down the beach by the rip more than once I retired to the beach to watch Derek lead our crew in shredding wave after wave. After more than a few days spent entirely in the ocean it was finally time to pull out our bikes and find some dirt. We made plans to take motos and go exploring in the hills the next morning but instead woke up to the sound of Dave being violently sick in the bathroom. It turned out that Matt’s idea of mixing

drinks in coconuts was a bad one. We left Dave behind and headed out to the hills but I barely made it to noon myself before pulling over to the side of the trail so sick I wanted to die. Dave, Ian and I ended up sitting around for two days reading surf mags and taking turns painting the bathroom walls from both ends. With just two days left in the trip the swell was down and it was time to go ride. A local friend Javier (our moto guide as well) had arranged for a shuttle for us. A beat-up old Chevy truck with steel belts showing out the sides of the bald tires showed up to take us into the hills. Tires spinning we followed steep and winding roads way up into the mountains. After the hot sticky coast, the cooler hills were an excellent treat, we stopped when we reached the top of a ridgeline just below a mountain range full of the unmistakable shape of volcanoes. I got the feeling we were just scraping the surface of what was to be seen and done in this place. On the first day we bagged a couple of runs in the mountains above la Libertad, and then in the hills above San Salvador the next. Most of the riding was on generations-old farmer’s trails, and instead of running into other bike traffic as you would at home, we saw farmers carrying crops, groceries, water and supplies. We were always greeted with smiles and curiosity. While we didn’t find any truly amazing singletrack trails we did get to ride our bikes on dirt, and from the looks of things there may be some great trails further up in the hills. The surfing was epic, and even the several days spent horribly ill don’t seem all that bad in retrospect. It was definitely a good adventure, and way better than sitting around in the Vancouver rain…. - s.m.

THE ART OF EVIL illustrations by jeremy fish hydro74, superbig & kevin walsh & photography by ian hylands
I sat down with Evil Bikes head honcho Kevin Walsh to talk about his new company and get a little insight into their use of artwork in marketing. If you weren’t aware of it already, Kevin also runs a little company in Seattle called Superbig that does graphics and design work for a few other small companies such as Jones Soda and Ride Snowboards, so the art part of it is pretty important to him. With his experience in graphics and design it’s not surprising that the Evil graphics look a little different from what corporate bike America is producing, although maybe not all that different from what some of the smaller companies are putting out. The bike graphics have a very punk rock feel to them and their use of artwork from San Francisco artist Jeremy Fish definitely doesn’t take away from that in any way. T-shirts and stickers with Fish designs such as an old English gent riding a penny farthing bike with a skull for a wheel or a pigeon inside a skull have proved to be very popular, and Evil has gone as far as to offer limited edition art prints with the purchase of certain bike frames. Kevin grew up in the skate punk scene of Boston and Cleveland listening to bands like Social Distortion, The Dead Kennedys, Angry Samoans, and The Cramps, while perfecting book cover masterpieces of Iron Eddy from Iron Maiden album covers from second through eighth grade. He also went through a brief break dancing phase, during which time he air brushed tags on peoples jackets, carried around an absurd boombox and a piece of slick cardboard, and did head spins in brushed suede Pumas with fat laces. He raced BMX and skateboarded, and was always extremely influenced by skate art, (on a side note Rob Roskopp just sent him an autographed deck. First deck he ever skated a pool on!! Thanks Rob!!). Skate art was pretty crazy at the time and Kevin remembers his mom being a little pissed that he was into it, but all the old Zorlac, Santa Cruz, SMA, and Powell Peralta stuff inspired him to follow art and design, so she let him do his thing. Kevin sees Evil as an artistic outlet, and it allows them to bring their other influences to an industry that might not otherwise see them, and it gives more choice to the riders. As the owner of a branding agency Kevin has always had to work within the confines of his clients comfort zone, but with Evil he can break the rules and do things differently and spontaneously. This lets customers get a true taste of what’s going on inside their heads. A lot of the bike industry seems so polished and perfect, but Evil is trying to make technical products that perform well but also have great style that can constantly evolve without a rigid formula. At the end of the day there is no one to say NO anymore. The bank can say no, but at least Evil can produce what they want without deliberating over elaborate marketing plans or focus groups.
