Talking Bikes and Skateboarding with Filmmaker Terry Barentsen

Terry is a filmmaker based in New York who makes a video series called “Hotline” where he chases bikers through crowded streets, weaving through pedestrians, traffic, and any other unexpected obstacles that pop up along the route. His videos have a skate video quality to them, reminiscent of GX1000 videos or an old Tommy Guerrero part, where the subject maneuvers through an unpredictable environment in perfectly chaotic style.

[@TerryB]

Thanks for getting me back on my board Jenkem ❤

[@OutbackJakehouse]

Really enjoyed this! Great Job!

[@distinctmotivephil6824]

hell yeah terry!

[@curtis6861]

so sick to see you on Jenkem!

[@Chris-jg8bm]

Love your videos

[@ayebruh1736]

You da man Terry got me into riding fixed and I love it.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Respect to Jenkem for this! Terry is Amazing.

[@benomalley4316]

This is the crossover I never knew I wanted, Terry makes riding a bike feel like bombing a hill. Stoked he mentioned Cardiel as well, more skateboarders should ride a bike.

[@tomgillespie]

Mash SF was made by legendary skateboard photographer Gabe Morford. Hence the "skateboard esque" feel to it.

[@gtorphins]

Factoid!! Thanks for that🙏

[@samsgotplans]

Ian, you are straight up killing it my dude. To consistently release videos featuring people outside the skate industry or non skateboarders without ever feeling cringy or forced is an absolute miracle. Brilliant work man.

[@trajtemberg]

Terry is the goat. His channel was the perfect escape through the worst of the lockdown. I'll always appreciate it.

[@bucketofholes]

having always had a toe dipped into each world, i love to see this. i haven’t met too many folks that ride track bikes that don’t have at least some history or familiarity with skateboarding. peas in the same pod.

[@lucasskovgaard3526]

same bro

[@db165]

Terry's hotlines get me up in the morning

[@luciengraetz]

I’d never heard of Terry, thanks for sharing this 🤝

[@wandilemsomi]

Thanks for this :-) As a skateboarder that loves the track bicycle, this is so awesome!

[@brainrottedindividual]

i love terry's stuff

[@smiauu]

Terry's videos made cycling feel how skateboarding used to feel like

[@nofood1]

used to feel?

[@78bogosip37]

Terry’s stuff is always epic. Respect.

[@garthdewilcho]

So glad to see Terry in here. Been following him for years and his creativity is endless. Some of this best work are his not-Hotline related videos and worth the watch for anyone who puts any kind of videos together. Building all these unbelievable archives and throwing them out for everyone to just enjoy. Love his energy!

[@elbowspeak]

I've been skating since '82 and riding since '85. Terry's vids bring back my mid-90s NYC riding and skating, with all the thrills, chills and near death moments. Exhilarating. After I dislocated my foot sliding a handrail in my 30s, my skating has been a lot more chill, carvy and cruisy. But the bike is where I get my yayas (even though I keep the risk a lot lower, since I have a family). Holy shit I love Terry's vids. The Safa rides were my first and they've never been outdone -- "Are you ready to die, Terry?"

[@mrjulian.m]

I love Terry's videos. Thanks Jenkem, this made me wanna hop on my bike

[@tonytwostep_]

Terry's the man. Never knew he had a skating background but that shit makes so much sense. Dope video.

[@bigsage88]

the cross over we needed!

[@hamzie3966]

love terrys videos so this was a treat to watch thanks jenkem and terry

[@beckyb6115]

I watch a Lot of TerryB's videos and really appreciated seeing some more insight into the process of creation as well as the parallels to skateboarding (in my youth I was constantly enthralled in skateboarding and many aspects of the culture). Thank you for taking the time to jenkem for putting this together! Great video! 🤘💜

[@Pedroepacas]

The linkup skateboarders who ride bikes been needin for a while!

[@UncleDamfee]

been following terry for a while, glad to see him get some recognition for the videos he makes

[@s0urce.ow0]

Wow. What a rad person to have on Jenkem. Grew up skating and riding bmx. Got into track bikes and fixed gear stuff like 15 years ago when it was getting popularized in the punk and hardcore scene. Dont skate so much anymore. But I ride my bikes daily. So, TerryB's videos in heavy rotation for me. Respect to jenkem for showing this side of the culture.

[@eamonwakefield9463]

This rocks! Terry is awesome

[@bigroo007]

Straight up Terry’s hotline bombing videos inspires me to go for a ride even when I don’t feel like it! I’ve lost 30+Kgs in last year 🎉

[@notAyoke]

Was getting ready to watch an hour of this and then it was over...

[@AustinAngelo]

Greg can do no wrong. Great segment

[@grouan]

Terry is amazing- great interview. More respect to this legend - AND he skates!

[@GettingHyphy]

If you live in a city, riding a bike should be part of your life, unless you want to rely on someone else/some system to get you around day to day. Never understood hate from the skate culture to bike culture for that reason, and i'm happy to see bikes getting the shine from jenkem

[@meelz812]

Terry is somehow at the same time an extremely calming presence and an endless fountainhead of stoke

[@blookazoo192]

I liked this, it was just enough "out there" to keep me watching thanks

[@TheSkate1989]

Thank you!

[@jani724]

Never thought I'd see a front nose from Terry. Dope y'all got hang for a bit! Much love

[@livegamingyt2833]

I learned a lot of riding bike skills through terry videos

[@myfrequencies1912]

I understand the weird & wonderful world of fixed gear a little bit more as a result of watching this interview. Cheers!

[@batardtrisomique]

I used to skate until I fucked my knee up so bad that it wasn't physically possible anymore. I fell into depression for a very long time after that happened. fixed gear bikes felt like getting back a piece of what I lost and Terry's videos played a big role in getting there.

[@christophermerino525]

Whaaaaaat, so sick seeing terry on here!!!!!

[@ShawnPBruce]

Terry's videos always make me anxious, but I love them.

[@polyushkopole5292]

Safa ones in México are the absolute worst for anxious ppl 🤣🤣🤣💀💀🫡

[@liam_dawson]

Legend! First discovered he skated through his Massan interview 🔥

[@SawOne729]

As an older skateboarder, crossing over to gravel bikes has been the best. Get the same adrenaline rush picking lines on single track just like I got bombing hills.

[@Ben_Eagle]

Terry is the GOAT

[@tyjames2262]

Terry is the absolute goat! been watching for years, never change TB!

[@bensoumokil]

Hell yeah! That looks sick af! I do this on my BMX through traffic. It's so freeing.

[@RiverheadSkate]

Lets go. Didn't know Terry skated at all, love the crossover

[@SlicedSlappy]

Dope collab

[@lucasrecasens]

this one was so good everyone killed it !!! yeah jenkem and Terry

[@CHAOSEXP666]

Amazing content again and again! Thanks Jenkem 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@albertrinehart7868]

Terry is the best

[@Chris-jg8bm]

Terry is the man! I absolutely love his videos.

[@user-vm3xp7zi4v]

This film is pretty good. You portrayed a nice essence of a moment

[@pemlonineoh]

Hell yes! Wearing my Terry B hotline shirt now

[@JS-ns8bc]

"This is, how I feel skateboaring is" - *This is how I feel, skateboarding should be. And cycling. The more comercial both livestyles get, the more money is in the business, the more shrinks personal expression and freedom in sight of consumerism and klicks. Stay true to yourself, not products or trends

[@dealwithitsf]

so sick! Terry is the man and his work is amazing. Mash SF was such a huge inspiration to us all

[@mathiaskobrich3136]

great video, thanks for this!

[@here-to-there]

Always thought Terry brought a sort of Ty Evans approach to filming with his inventive/DIY camera rigs.

[@Lilpetegr01]

sooo good.. I love biking in Montreal and never heard of this guy before... amazing..thx Jenkem as usual

[@SecondTigerStyle]

That’s awesome 🔥

[@UltimateMal2k]

what a time to be alive

[@RyanHodgdon95]

Been watchin this dude for a while, so raw.

[@biosfearmag]

Big fan

[@PatDeezy]

as a skateboarder/road cyclist I tend to lean towards this being a bad "look" for cyclists, but I respect the hell out of it. I can appreciate the drive/passion these guys have and the filming/editing is amazing

[@pablorattt]

Riding a skate and a track bike are best feelings

[@ianmulet82]

Sick video! Always wanted to hear terry talk about his videos, I didn't even know he skates! Respect for Jenkem and Terry 4 sure!

[@vizzybabyy]

love this , combing the best of both worlds !

[@agustincimino5495]

Great content as always, much love from Argentina

[@agusglauber]

Great video! Terry is the best, his work is truly one of a kind. Cardiel is my biggest inspiration (bmx rider here) always stoked to see any clip of him skating or even just pedalling.

[@DWEBGEEK]

Terry B was the reason why I started creating bike videos on YT.

[@kilianacher4446]

Love the link - Long time fan of both of you! Keep it up! 🙌🏻

[@chriscolfels5683]

Interesting look at Terry in front of the camera rather than behind

[@dixsept]

Great video ❤

[@tay-lore]

Man, I love the look of Weiss frames! I really want to ride one!!

[@Nicky_Atkins_]

Such an amazing interview!! Always love watching his videos and it’s good to get a behind the scenes look at who he is. Keep letting the haters hate Terry!

[@justincortado6926]

holding it out down for the fixed gear community Terry!

[@PedalMore]

Wow I can’t believe terry b got a feature !(:

[@gnardawgyt]

Great video

[@rudiger5926]

Top notch guys I really enjoyed this 👌 👍 ❤

[@street.bluess]

Hell yeah shout out Mash & Macaframa!!

[@foulweather6625]

Love watching those Hotline vids. Makes sense he's from a skate background.

[@blackwatch_TV]

this guy is breaking boundaries all around..a tremendous inspiration.

[@donovanrice2671]

Riding bikes and skateboarding is the fountain of youth. Peter Pan type shit!! Stoked on this terry and jenkem!! WAY SICK!!

[@project_matt]

Hell yeah. Terry rules!

[@AF-gg3ce]

hopefully this brings back the spark to the scene, been dead for awhile

[@timlevang]

0:42 Lol! My brother was drawn by the same artist when we went to NYC in 2009 😅 The drawing was 5 dollars and after it was drawn the artist told him he also had to pay for a frame which was another 10 or 15 dollars hahaha! Anyway great video Jenkem!

[@TheSabado215]

Amazing cyclist also, good Ol`Terry. Congrats from Chile.

[@MrAllstar]

Bike life for life, just another great way to roll 💪🙏

[@peoplecallmepeechez]

I love riding bikes just cruising around but damn those hotline videos theve got some serious speed behind them, feels so much like videos of people bombing hills

[@Mrrugbykid1]

jenkem rules!

[@aspanon1560]

dope crossover. Sick to know that Terry B can shred a board too

[@swshr]

The collab I never knew I'd get

[@imbikinghere]

I will continue to devour any Terry content as a kid who obsessed skateboarding and wound up in cycling as my body has approached 30. My biggest takeaway from Terry's shit is that I should have realized how cool cycling was way earlier than my late 20s

[@gsef4157]

respect, learned something new today!! shout out terry, the footy looks insaneeeeeeeee :)

[@82nemethimre]

Terry is a great dude! 👍🚲💨

[@ricardo-ge4jo]

very nice

[@noelroberts8773]

i also skate and bike. cool to see some other people doing the same

[@solitude4evr]

love

[@ald0g]

This was rad

[@friesewiese]

fuck yeah I've loved Terry for a long time, didn't know he had roots of skateboarding. Love this, thanks guys!

[@jared1212]

Shout out for the GSC safety triangle!

[@NikkiNichelle.]

Love Terry and every video he does ESPECIALLY the Hotlines lol

[@steve_exclamationpoint]

Great stuff. Terry seems like a rad dude. I know of him through some MTB collab videos.
