Chris Long

Chris Long is an American photographer, videographer, and BMX enthusiast based in Los Angeles, California. He is closely associated with No Jumper and captures much of the platform's content.[1] Long is a favorite amongst No Jumper fans who often refer to themselves as "Chris Longers" in admiration of him.[2]

Early Years

Long is originally from Billerica, Massachusetts and grew up being involved in the BMX community in Boston and throughout the northeast. Along with riding BMX bikes in his youth, Long would also take pictures and videos of his contemporaries performing various stunts and tricks.

Before going to Hollywood, Long attended New England Institute of Art. [3]

Family Life

A 2010 interview with Long by BMXUnion described some of his family background:

“Yeah basically my whole fathers side of the family are union Ironworkers.

My family owns a steel business and my cousins and I are the fourth generation,” he said.

“I am in the laborers union and I am in the process of transferring into the Ironworkers union but there actually hasn’t been too much work since September,” he said.

BMX Career

Around 2004, Long befriended Adam22 and would visit him in New York City on BMX trips while he was living in Boston. They both were familiar with each other growing up in the New England BMX scene but it was only later that they would start working together on projects like The Come Up BMX blog, which they would work together on creating content and covering the scene for several scenes.

In 2010, Adam22 would move to Long Beach, California and Long would follow weeks later. They would pursue more BMX-related projects out in California while expanding The Come Up. Long also worked as a bodyguard for Adam22. In the interview to BMXUnion he said, "I usually spend my day protecting him from everybody that’s he’s ever pissed off. Which is pretty much every person he meets." That article says that Long and Adam22 lived together at that time. "Our last house was pretty hectic living with six people it was kind of a disaster and impossible to keep clean. Now it’s just the two of us and it’s really easy to keep the house clean. Since it’s just us my true crazy OCD has really come out," it quotes Long as saying of living with Adam22.[3]

In 2015, Adam22 would launch No Jumper and Long would assist and lead all media aspects of the platform. Today, Long commonly goes by the moniker Chris Long Films and captures the most prominent names in hip hop on his Instagram account. As of December 2019, Long has over 75k followers on the platform.[1]

Police wrote in a statement to Heavy.com that "Offender #2, Christopher Long, 36 was charged with one misdemeanor count of Unlawful Use of Weapon/Carry or Possess." [3]

“During the investigation, a 21-year-old male suffered a medical emergency, causing him to have a seizure.

The report indicates that a Homeland Security Officer administrated Narcan to the victim.

The victim was later pronounced," police added.

That referred to Juice WRLD and Narcan is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.

Instagram Photography & Videography

Long plastered his Instagram page with photos and videos showing him traveling and hanging out with Juice WRLD. His Instagram description says, "Video & Photography For @juicewrld999 Los Angeles". He also posted pictures of Juice WRLD to his Instagram story after Juice died. Long was part of an entourage of about 10 people, including the rapper and his girlfriend, who were on the private jet as it flew between California and Illinois on December 8, 2019 for what would end up being the last moments of Juice WRLD’s life. "I can’t stop going through all my photos," says the picture, which appears to show Long and Juice together. One video in his tribute story shows Juice WRLD singing. The story concluded with a photo of Juice and Long that reads, "This hurt so much." Other photos and videos in the story appear to show Juice facetiming Long, eating pizza, and they show Long doing videography of Juice.[3]

Other photos on Long’s Instagram page show pictures of other celebrities like Kris Jenner.[3]

Long once posted picture of his dad.

His later Instagram pictures are mostly professional work he took of celebrities, but the earlier photos show family and landscapes, among other things.

He also shared a mother’s day picture with his mom.[3]
