10,000 Hours of BMX Inspiration Mixed Tape
A 23-track visual campaign archive
Press play on a campaign about effort, memory, loss, stubbornness, belonging, recovery, recognition and the people whose names BMX should keep saying.
The original 10,000 Hours campaign paired BMX-centered reflections and questions with external musical inspiration. This GitHub edition preserves the campaign as a mixed tape: the campaign root becomes the intro, the child pages become tracks, and the published Curtain Call closes the recording.
Archive status: Complete 23-record page ledger / 22 supplied full-page captures / four standalone social-post images / 29 preserved visual files / no audio redistributed
