BASIS AFTERLIFE: The next chapter of the Basis crew.
“Basis Afterlife is the next chapter of the Basis Crew. The walls of the Basis Crib may have crumbled after the legendary Joumaa Part, but the spirit remains. Some riders moved to different cities, set out on long trips, or started new projects, but the core stayed unshaken. Some fear the end, Basis rides through it.
This video is born from the same energy that has always driven the crew. No pressure, no expectations. Just riding, pushing forward, and keeping the spirit alive. A vision shaped by those who stayed, those who left, and those who always find their way back.
The crew is here. The crew is strong.
More videos and merch to come this year. See you in the afterlife.”
