Precursor.

So - at work today, the post comes in, and there happens to be a copy of Anthem II in it. Wellity wellity. That video. I'm going to do a proper stand-alone post about it tomorrow (hopefully), so in the mean-time I'll just say that you very much need to hit up the the shop and get a copy sorted for yourselves before they run out.

Back to the usual internet business in hand, Kink can also drop out the "Even our flow team kicks ass" line that another company used before, as their 'am' team gets some riding done as part the of the Jetlagged video project type affair. Some really cool riding in this - Ben Hittle, Albert Mercado, Lil Jon, etc. are involved which is all you really need to know.



For those of you weaned on the Internet and as a direct result have a 90sec long attention span and a refusal to deal with polysyllabic words, the following two nuggets of info won't appeal - you should look away now.

For the rest of you, click here to read a little interview with Etnies main designer with some cool info about a new brakeless-orientated shoe coming out from them, and click here to read a bit about Brad Simms and also bear witness to a photo of a completely ridiculous hop.

Cool video on Friday?

Notice how last Friday I made a 'cool video Friday' post? Well, turns out that - courtesy of some power-lurking on Facebook there's going to be a 'cool video Friday' this Friday at the shop in the form of an Anthem II showing. I know how good that video's going to be. You know how good that video's going to be. If it wasn't a 6 hour drive to get there I'd be all over that, so if you have a less than 6 hour drive to get there you really should be going there. Even if it's not for you, do it for me.

Speaking of Facebook lurking, it also allowed me to see this gem from what I'm going to call the Case-book page - a sweet exclusive edit from Vinyl which features a song with what sounds like the line "Come back baby/I'll bust you up".



Just in case that doesn't work, if you click that link up there then yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, to quote Rudyard Kipling fully out of context.

Whilst we're taking stuff out of context, I also got a glimpse of this courtesy of Facebook. If you're a TLC fan, look away now.

Unbeknownst to me, Shadow have been uploading Into The Void, with this week's section being the Chase Dehart/Dave Rytell split. It's a pretty bold section in that instead of music, Shadow decided to apparently just loop some white noise, but it does feature some Chase Dehart footage in his techidy-tech peak (you know, back when the tech:burly ratio was much more in favour of the tech) which is always good to see.



This also leads me to wonder whether Shadow will try and replicate their 'hidden sections' thing when they post the video online by hosting the videos on some obscure website that you'll only ever find when someone on BikeGuide happens to stumble across it.

For some reason, videos on Ride's site never seem to play properly for me. I know Dyno told me he was supposed to be heading to Ramp City soon and that I should get amongst it, so I'm effectively posting this here so I can actually watch it and see if he went. Because of that, I have no idea how good this video is, so I'll need to place it in some sort of quarantine state:

And that's about that, I think. I just realised the 'autosaved at' thing says 22:20, which means I need to not be on here any more.

EDIT: Turned out that Scattered edit was actually cool. Bonus! Fair play for whoever it was who delivered the most clearly annunciated "Wa-hoo" ever at the end too.

Snooze you lose.

Well, missed out 2 days of posting stuff and totally forgot everything I wanted to post. Failing.



This is the end of the Sun-Ringle roadtrip footage milk-a-thon that's been going on. Pretty good stuff in there.

FBM are also purveyors of good stuff, and to celebrate the launch of Anthem II they've launched a Ltd. Ed. frame. Click here for more.

United's roadtrip video from Canada is also pretty much out - here's the trailer for that.



Lastly, HoleShot 8 is out - more info on that here!

Anthem 2...

Well, this ought to be good?



Some fresh content over on the Anthem site.

Think I forgot to post this before, but the Red Bull Trick or Treat jam looked pretty cool:



In other 'Things looking cool' news, the new C.R.E.A.M. frame from WTP looks pretty good - more info here and here. Andrew Jackson is awesome, so that frame's pretty well deserved!

For some quality pigeon handling technique, check out this video of Mutiny's Continental version of Brazel (in-joke), Rubio.



Oh yeah - another Red Bull edit I just remembered about (and should probably put up by the other Red Bull comp edit above? Meh) - the Most Wanted comp from Austin. The BMX boards are lit up with talk of Kevin Porter doing a line someone else couldn't do - it's a comp, handle it. You don't ride comps to have a relaxing, fun time - that's what actual riding is for (seeing as KP split the money with the other guy anyway, it really isn't important).
