Man alive, check out the new Partners In Crime edit over on Freedom - those spots are amazing! Pretty rad video too, but hot damn, I wanna ride Spain/Italy now! Linkage.

Don't know whether it's 'cos they've got some holes to fill in their range now, or just that 4Down have been working on this for a while, but Ben Lewis is getting a signature frame according to Ride.



20″ – 21″ TT, 13″ rear end, 75.5 HT and 69 degree ST - interesting.

Apparently Seventies have a bit of room in their warehouses after Xmas, as they've managed to build a pretty nuts looking indoor setup there. Fair bit more to that than there was last time I was there!



In some ways I was glad I missed the NCSL prem so I didn't have to watch myself ride. Unfortunately for Sean Sexton and Darryl Tocco, this video got made. I guess on the flipside, they're actually amazingly good so it shouldn't be quite so much of a hardship...

Worst case scenario?

No, not RTRBTN 2.5, the crash at the start of this. Anything that involves killing your knees, falling into water, and bleeding out of your head sucks, so combining all three is pretty impressive/savage.


Go to BNQT for more videos.


The ending line is this video is pretty long, but I'm not counting half of it purely because of how bad the song is. Like a bad Razorlight, and that's really saying something.



In "Products I thought would be out way before this" news:



Half the length, all the price. Picture taken from 4Down, who have the new Mk.3 pegs from Animal too.

Forgot a title...

Where to begin? Newrick seems as good a place as any... 4Down have continued their 'At Home With...' series with James Newrick being the next candidate. Pretty interesting guy, refreshing style of riding.

Booooonus - his NSF3 section:



Nigel Sylvester's got a new Gatorade 'infomercial' thing or whatever they're called up. Interesting seeing some more behind-the-scenes stuff.



Speaking of "behind the scenes", the Nike 6.0 Media Apprentice behind the scenes stuff is up on the Mpora site riiiiight here. Notice how I'm the only one without an interview? Well, that's what happens when you spend your entire interview talking about how you hate indoor skateparks and why street is a million times better. What can I say - it's the truth! In related news, I'm pretty glad I didn't have to get on a boat to do my 'bootcamp'. I wonder how many people are humming 'I'm on a boat' right now...

Chase Hawk's got a signature Vans shoe out, so who better to talk about it than Chase Hawk? What? You got Colin Mackay to do the talk? Right...

Quite so...

Owain Clegg, ahead of his time...

Everyone knows Owain Clegg is rad. He's been around the UK scene since time began, and has always been doing some cool, new and interesting lines. This is a video from 2003, check out how ahead of it's time it was...



From 4Down.

A simple instruction.

Go and watch update Video 3 on the 4Down site, it's really good. That isn't sarcasm or anything, it's genuinely rad. Go there! Now!
