Saw this yesterday...
...which reminded me of this...
...which made me wonder where Jeff Koscis was these days. Turns out he was busy getting ridiculously good.
This is also good, hence why those videos reminded me to post this one now. You keeping up?

Cool Video Tuesday?
It just doesn't have that same ring to it, but hey ho, cool videos are cool videos.
As a bit of serious business first, I've had a couple of people ask me if Dan's alright - as some of you may know, there've been some pretty serious earthquakes over in Christchurch in NZ where Dan's living these days. We got a call at about 3am saying that he's alright and his friends are all safe too, so that's all good to hear.
SRS BZNZ aside, here's some more up-beat stuff. Dakota Roche is an animal. In case the massiv array of logos doesn't give it away, he's also got the hook-up from Monster. He's also got pop!
Next up are a couple of "Exclusives" - some pretty entertaining comments in the chat section for The Make Winter 2011 video that appeared on TheComeUp yesterday. Some awesome riding from some super good but pretty under the radar people. Always a nice combo.
This is a bit of a contrast in many ways but not in a bad way. Chris Childs over on Defgrip.
And as yet another contrast - although mainly to the whole of the BMX scene these days - here's Mike Brennan from DQYDJ2, thanks to Animal.

Misc.
Couple of bits 'n' bobs.
Animal have some shiny new cloth... - wait, "cut and sew" items out. Pretty sweet. First time I've ever seen a wallet I've liked?
DSLRs are 'in' these days, especially for filming duties. My boss just bagged himself a 7D and they are nice to see, although pretty much every video I've seen people use them on recently has sort of felt detached from it all. I kinda miss the low-fi, up close look of older videos, maybe... Anyway, from Stoke with love:
Ride have a pretty cool overspill piece up on Tenerife. Randomly, I was checking a customer's address in Tenerife earlier today, and hit up the Street view feature on Google. I was remarking then on how many spots there were on the street our customer lived on, turns out there's plenty more around there. Drop out "The new Barca?" line, perhaps?
Adam posted this Mike Aitken video up earlier, as featured on BMXMDB. Fair bit of content over there now!
Lastly, a bit of older Alex Kennedy footage...

Mixture...
You want Eclat stuff? Pijin's got what you need. New drop of Eclat stuff is up on the site now, including the delightfully awesome looking Gonzo seats. Been waiting for them to come out for a while now, somewhat typically after I just bought a different seat. I lose...
Anyways, someone who loses in the pedalling fast at stuff stakes is Liam Fahy-Hampton. His Run At Me Slut section was amazing (click the tag at the bottom to find it), and this one's pretty cool too.
Dan Lacey has a video interview up on Woozy - click here for the text and photos, and click Play to watch it, I guess. I had to watch it on mute which kinda doesn't work for a video interview, so it's quality is unknown to me at the time of writing. Sorry...
Photos of Mike Aitken's first rail went up a few days ago, now his first up-rail too? Boom.
For more photos, and the chance to see Tate Roskelley with a real big fish, click here.
Laaaaaastly, a bit of history - Eli Platt made a name for himself with this video, then went on to make the awesome Micreation vid too, and then featured in a bunch of other cool videos of various descriptions. Trooper. Watch and enjoy...

It's been a while...
Can't wait to see the viewing slump for the past few days! Come baaaack. I've legitimately been busy - uni work over the weekend, then two days in London handing it in. 96 hours. 7 hours on trains. 16 hours of sleep. Too many hours on trains: not enough hours asleep. As a result, I'm finding this typing gig pretty hard, and actually had to use calculator to work out how many hours there were in 4 days.
Anyway, from what I can tell:
They Ain't Ready put up a web-edit which was basically a 3 minute intro to a ridiculous Kareem Williams spot shut-down edit. However, they've done the whole "Not going to let you embed it unless you go to Vimeo and mess around" thing, and I fully don't have the mental capability to tackle that problem now. I don't see how people think doing this benefits them at all. The whole point of web-videos is their ease of distribution - showing the world what's up with you and your friends. If you don't want other people to see it, don't put it online. If you do, why put petty little hurdles in the way for people to distribute it? No sense at all.
FBM have a double-DVD kinda thing coming out from what I can tell, here's a trailer!
Just spotted a post on InTheGnar that there's a flipbook on the FBM site too...
The Shola video is out now. Hammers!
Skavenger had some new shirts out. Having used literally every colour combination possible with their "SKA|VEN|GER" shirt, they've spread their design wings and have some new stuff out. Check that out here, and the new Skavenger site here.
Mulville footage? Yes. From Deluxe:
There's a UK premiere for the Mutiny video that, amazingly for a UK premiere, is actually reasonably central instead of in a pub in Hastings. Again. Anyway, it's on in Sheffield:
You should probably try and get there, it's bound to be good and premieres are always amazing! Nothing like getting the DVD a while after going to the premiere so you can try and remember what actually happened in it...
EDIT: Dew Tour footage. FEEL INFERIOR!

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?

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.

Catch-up.
Dig put up another cool Refresh edit yesterday, some "Solid riding", as they say.
Chris Harrison's got a cool little "Rapid Response" thing over on Dig too.
I didn't really realise just how big the Fly team is, but yeah, pretty big! This is a cool edit of their whole crew riding the Worlds. Kevin K should've won the spine comp purely for dropping out the coping tyre slide thing, Taj style. I love those!
The controversial Mutant Bike company have another 'new idea' out, the peguard. Essentially, a peg with a built-in guard that appears to have a few flaws. The reasoning they give on the site such as "Hub guards are not simple to assemble and too large for its functionally" (Really? How?) and so on seems pretty debatable, and I'm fairly sure the lack of compatibility, limiting it's lifespan by having one point to grind on (Not the only peg like that, I know, but that doesn't make it good) and having a guard that could potentially bend upwards into the hub/spokes doesn't really count in it's favour either. I'm just still amazed that they're planning on releasing that frame with that seatpost setup (Apologies to the anonymous commenter who was unhappy I only listed 5 bad points with it, apparently that's not 'backing it up' enough)...
Don't get me wrong, some of their products are nice, but some of them just make no sense whatsoever.
RideUS are planning a follow-up to the awesomeness that was Insight, in the form of "Range Of Motion". To quote their release:
The Concept
Four riders who are well-rounded, able, and astounding on anything you put in front of them—Dennis Enarson, Tony Hamlin, Sergio Layos, and Dave Dillewaard.
Take those four riders on three trips focusing on each type of riding. Trip number one, a park trip up in the Great Northwest, has already gone down. A dirt trip up in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York is going on at this very moment. And a street trip along the California coast will go down about a month from now.
Now add in four more shredders on each trip that specialize, if you will, in what we’ll be riding that trip. Drew Bezanson, Simon Tabron, Darin Read, and newbie Ryan Wert went up to Oregon to ride cement. Cory Nastazio, Adam Baker, Mike “Hucker” Clark, and Luke Parslow are with us right now in the Northeast. And Aaron Ross, Garrett Reynolds, Sean Sexton, and Rob Wise will be with us in Cali.
...and this is a video from their first trails trip. Serious business!
Retribution have their Owl T's available now, and also have this Saturday Shenanigans video up. Controversial! They say they got it from an "Undisclosed location" but I'm fairly certain I know who made that...
Tony Watkinson rode for 20 minutes after the Worlds, and Mike King documented.
Morgan Wade has something to say, to quote the title of Ride's old Chase Hawk interview.
Random one, but Ani- er, I mean "A. Bike Co." have some wax out. Street dawg approved?
But for now, everyone needs to look below this post and check out again how insanely good those WTP completes are. My my!

Lots to cover!
Possibly the best thing from today is seeing that Mike Aitken is back on a bike, according to this story on his site and this video:
It must be a pretty amazing feeling to get to roll around on a bike again after all he's been through. Good luck with everything, Mike!
In other news...
It's interesting to compare styles of video that are based on a fairly similar format. Both of these videos (One featuring Stephen Moxley, one featuring Josh Betley and Kevin Kirally) are park based, yet I'm way more into one than the other. Have a guess.
Steven Moxley Endeavorbmx Edit from Justen Soule on Vimeo.
If that's a bit of a park overload for you, click here to check out a cool Profile trails vid.
Hanson Little, who rides for Mutiny, has the cover of the new Dig:
Looks pretty rad, and if you click around on the Mutiny and Dig site you can see some of the spreads from the mag which look sweet as hell. Like they said on the Mutiny site, give print some love and pick up a copy - Dig are getting it spot on these days.
Steven Hamilton's section in Can I Eat is one of his most talked about sections (And with good reason), but his part in All Day was pretty rad too. And, in fact, here it is:
Animal All Day - Steven Hamilton from Animal Bikes on Vimeo.
Reason I'm posting this, aside from him being my Favourite Rider Of All Time™, is that Animal have a new Vimeo channel up with all their old videos on - well worth checking out!
Right now, I've got a pizza that's almost cooked and a Wales - France game to watch, so ciao for now...
