With John doing an awesome job of holding down the local news/product news side of things, here's some inspiration from further afield...

Dyno was someone who I enjoyed riding with back in my Newcastle days, and even back then he wasn't scared of doing some pretty wild moves. With a filmer more readily available, a bike not cobbled together out of swap-meet bits from Exi skatepark and another year or two of progression and development, here's his Spring 2011 edit for KIS. Moves!



After starting with a bit of a banger, it's time to get a bit serious - Niki Croft is well-known throughout the UK (and the world, to be fair). He's a sound dude with some serious skills to boot, but he got taken down by a savage crash at the Cycle Show a while back. Rich Forne documented some of Niki's return to action, and that became the basis of one of the series of Relentless Short Stories that have been popping up over the past year or so. Here it is - it's a bit full-on, but definitely worth watching through.



Lightening the mood again - I'd seen bits here and there online in the run-up to the Texas Toast jam that Odyssey put on over in Austin, but it wasn't until today I actually saw anything of it. Pretty amazing! Gauntlet of Death is awesome. Comps like this are the future - you can take your massive box jumps and pentuple whips, this looks like more fun to me...



As a result of a 4-day event the company I work for put on last weekend I didn't get a chance to post this when it was 'fresh', but here's a cool video of Seamus McKeon. Really like watching him ride, so more footage is always a treat.



I'm fully in need of some sleep so that'll have to do for now...
