Empire BMX Chill Bro (2007)
A 2007 cult classic BMX film from Texas-based brand Empire BMX. Directed by Joel Moody, "Chill Bro" captured a turning point in street BMX, as the golden era of "mid-school" was giving way to the "new-school". The film is known for its aggressive and technical rider sections, especially Aaron Ross, whose riding style fans described as "crazy" and "animal-like". Despite its low-budget production, the video sold out instantly and became a rare collector's item, leaving an indelible mark on the genre's history.
