The description Fran Zeman sent me about his new video said, it was a Street video, filmed entirely in Croatia, mainly on team trips with the Šuma Crew. Turns out, it’s a banger and a half!
So much wild stuff in this one, that the title of the
video (NIŠTA) doesn’t seem to be fitting, as this translates into nothing in English. I guess this doesn’t refer to the riding, but more so to Fran’s hope, that even though filming for this project ended somewhat abruptly, at least the outcome won’t be worth nothing (ništa).
Certainly not, sir! So make sure to enjoy 3 and a half minutes of excellent entertainment from the streets of Croatia and then dive into an interview with the man himself below, which contains some great snaps by his friend Marin Stupar.
Hey Fran, what’s up. Please introduce yourself for those who don’t know you yet.
Hello! Thanks a lot for the opportunity and thanks for publishing the video, it really means a lot to me, filmer Jakov and the whole Croatian scene.
I am a 28 years old Street rider with 15 years of BMX experience, love riding everything, but I got the most love for Street riding, since it made me who I am right now 🙂 My friend Vjeran and I started ŠumaCrew 15 years ago and we are happy to say that its one of the longest extreme sports communities and crews in Croatia.
What have you been up to lately?
Apart from primary job, we have organized the 11th ŠC Kam in Bjelovar, and it turned out perfectly. BMX Day in Zagreb is coming up, so we are also excited about that. Some new videos are dropping, so I had to edit those and get them ready. Apart from that, I am motivated to ride, visit some nice places, and get to ride those places with my friends and film. Also pretty hyped about the new plans that we have for šumacrew.
What’s your local scene like?
Our local scene is cool, but there is still lot of work to do. There is not that many people who ride or produce content (video, photo), so it’s a bit hard to get a bigger trip/project rolling. But apart from that, we have some amazing riders in Street and Park, and we are really happy that the scene is growing slowly and steadly. With šumacrew, we just want to provide motivation and that spark that gets you going to produce cool shit. Film with your friends, and organize a silly jam, so everyone can get together and hang out…
