Catching up with Robbie sell

Robbie doesn't ride for Ashbury, but why not catch up with him?

Robbie owns this Ak47, he also just bought a Glock 17 too... No joke

ROBBIE WHERE YOU AT?

Robbie: at a coffee shop in Portland

WHY ARE YOU IN PORTLAND?

I came up to hang out at Mt Hood for a session at HCSC to get some photos, and now I'm just visiting friends in the city, and to chase after some hipster girls.

NICE, THEN BACK TO RENO?

Yeah, back home to take advantage of the rent I pay.  Then off to southern california to stop by the snowboard magazines and to see other friends and to chase after some beach babes.

YOU GONNA COME VISIT ME IN LA BEFORE THAT?

yeah for sure. Pierre and I actually might be bicycling from SF to SD.

OH SHIT, THAT'D BE CRAZY

it's going to be sweet... I'm down for pedaling.

LANCE JUST TRIED TO GO FROM SF TO LA, BUT HE COULDN'T HANG AND TOOK THE TRAIN BACK.

He told me about the itinerary and it was way too much, even for a trained rider.

WHAT'S THIS SHIT I HEARD ABOUT YOU GETTING IN SOME BIKE ACCIDENT?

Some old lady ran a stop sign and ruined my day, actually ruined a month of my life...
$28,000.00 later and my shoulders still hurt.

WHAT KINDA DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE SHOULDERS?

I took the initial impact with my left which fractured my scapula and cracked my collar bone, I also partially collapsed my left lung.

Then when I hit the ground on my right side it separated my ac joint a little, and smashed my face and got some stitches by my eyebrow.
Luckily I saved my bike with my body, it's totally fine.

FUCK, THAT SOUNDS ROUGH, AND YOU PAID 28G'S OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET? NO INSURANCE?

nah, I have health insurance, but that's how much all my bills were.

The lady was way under insured too, just had the state minimum.  So no big settlements or anything... next time I'll aim for a Range Rover!

OR JUST RIDE THE BIKE PATH... AT THE BEACH

True.

WHAT'S YOUR PLANS FOR THE WINTER?

I hope to be a full time photographer, working with the snowboard film crews again... I did all last winter and got a ton of great photos.
The mags are all hyped, and so are the brands who sponsor the riders I shot.

YEAH MAN, WE GOTTA HOOK UP AND TAKE A RAIL TRIP

trips...

TRUE

It was great to work with the People crew again... missed my buddies.

WHICH FILM SHOULD WE ALL BE LOOKIN' FORWARD TO?  SINCE YOU WERE OUT THERE IN THE MIX WITH A FEW DIFFERENT CREWS.

Oh man, since we didn't get skunked on any of our trips, I say the best films are going to be: Finger On da Trigger, MDP, Autumn Line, Standard, MDP-People, and TWS... every one of those film crews I shot with and came away with "A" grade stuff.

THAT'S LIKE ALL THE MOVIES

I heard Grenade is going to be sweet, same with Absinthe too,
but they had legit photographers with them all the time, so I didn't get the call... next winter I hope!

AND YOUR WEBSITE, WHAT'S THE URL?

just my name, robbiesell.com

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA REMEMBER THAT

I can't update it until the mags publish my new photos though. So look out for my name credits in print.

YEAH, I HEARD YOU GOT SOME LEGIT PICS COMING OUT, THANKS FOR THE INTERVIEW ROBBIE

Oh you know this!

PEACE FOOL

yeah, till we meet again!
