'Ford Purple Velvet Metallic'

Best colour ever, photos soon (even if 'metallic velvet' doesn't make sense)!

Everyone in this video rules, watch it:



Tip of the hat to Pete for that thumbnail, and also for slow-mo'ing himself dead sailoring that bars. So good. In other dead sailor news, I saw a kid at Stoke plaza yesterday dead sailor a 5-set on a skateboard. I was totally unaware that it was possible to dead sailor a skateboard and actually roll out of it, but fair play to that fashion victim.

Bit of Union to lighten the wintery mood? Just played some pool at lunchtime in our non-heated warehouse - trying to type this is a nightmare.



Ben Hucke had this web-edit come out recently for Sputnic - dece:



Laaaaastly, this section from the 2x4 video was one of my favourites - Randy Brown (spotted this on Orchid's site), ripping. So good.



Said it before, and I'll say it again - Orchid's player does the neatest embed code ever!

1,300th post? How?! Probably 'cos it's been around for a reasonably long time. Speaking of Long, Matty Long (Most tenuous intro out of any of the other 1,299...):



Forgot to pop this up yesterday (and I don't think I've done it before?), but Subrosa have got a new stem coming out that kinda looks like a revised Attack stem?



Oh, and about stuff I did yesterday - put up that David Grant (well, partially David Grant) video, he's got an interview up on BMXUnion now.

Wiz, 2x4. The trick-to-sunglasses-drop-to-ride-over is the ultimate highlight. Bonus - check out how far his shoe flies when he falls off that jersey barrier. Physics defiance.



Defgrip posted up that James Wade has put a new photobook up - click here, then go to August.

Brutal.

That's pretty much the harshest ball-ride out I can imagine (You'll see the one I mean). I mean, he bounces off it, twice? No thanks, no thanks... Anyways, plenty of good riding all up in that piece, so check out that trailer then check out the DVD when that drops. FBM!

This is all just ticking down to the point where the Randy Brown ender section gets put up, but still - Garret's section ain't bad either:



This means nothing to the majority of people, but that player has the neatest embed code I've ever seen, haha.

Fit posted this up on their site.



Also up on the Fit site was the "Scraping the barrel this week" Stay Fit 3 video.



Saw this over on TCU - Butcher, with a cover-shot in 2009? Madness...



Defgrip have a rad video up of Matty Long - watch it here.

The BMXFU video's been getting slowly uploaded by Charlie Crumlish for the past few days/week. I watched this video around a friend's house, and man, it is long. I don't mean that in a good way either - it's probably one of the longest BMX DVDs I've seen in recent times. The 'skip' button got rinsed fairly heavily, so I can't really remember in my head which sections were good and which weren't. In any case, if you particularly want to check the rest out, click here.



Despite being reasonably anti-park on a personal level, I still really like watching Harry Main ride. He's certainly pounding out the footjam variations these days, but that's not all he does in fairness to him. Jeremiah Smith also has some line-age in here too.

Harry Main / Jeremiah Session @ Woodward - More BMX Videos

The first thing I thought when that pre-roll came on was "Oh, MirraCo. One day you'll understand."

I originally saw this listed in the Streetphire video feed, then clocked it "4 reelz" on the WTP. Just get that bit of house-keeping out the way, now here's the video:

Actually, it's not. Vimeo has just fully died for me, for some reason. I hate you, Internet Explorer, but not as much as I hate how the newest Firefox has ruined my laptop! Click here to see the vid.

I can't think of a decent title.

Ani-A.BikeCo. have some new wheelsets that are coming out that, judging from the price of the LM and LM-R rims, will probably be worth more than their weight in gold when they come out. Seriously, people are probably going to sack off scrapping copper and switch to these wheels. Anyway, Format have some photos up here.

Josh Bedford's got a new sample of his signature frame through Mutiny. Om nom nom.



Oh, and pegs?

Seems like they're uploading the rest of the 2X4 DVD? Pretty handy considering my copy is some 400 miles away from here and I really want to see Randy Brown's section again. He does have the ender though, so at one a week it'll almost be a Christmas present from them...



But for now, Cody Jennings.

Giant have some photos of their new products up (In retrospect, I probably should've put this after the Animal/Mutiny stuff? Poor lay-out...) on Chris Arriaga's bike. Worth checking out anyway. Bear in mind that Giant make virtually every bike out there, the quality should be good - wonder if it'll hold out?

Bang. Ers.

No joke, if there was some kind of internationally acreddited BMX dictionary, alongside "Bangers" would be these two video parts. First up is Van Homan's part from the 2x4 video, followed by Rickey Bate's's's's's section from the Banned 3 vid.

Too. Good.

Oh, and...

...this Darryl Tocco video's pretty awesome too, but then again, when aren't they?

From 2x4, where you can browse pop-up and stress free...



I don't know if Antonio reads this, but if you do, this one's for you.

The Curse Of The Auto-Play Video

Damn. I thought I'd just done enough to bump that auto-playing Mpora vid off the bottom of the page, and I go and mess it up with that Ride video below. Sorry. Hopefully this cool little indoor edit from Van Homan and Chase Dehart courtesy of 2x4 won't. Fingers crossed...
