Memories!

Man, the flat-out best part of this video is seeing Chris McArdle in "On a trip" mode. So good. Edit by Phelan featuring loads of different riders.



I heard the music on this video described as "Porn music", which seems like a kinda weird - if accurate - description. Anyways, Vans riders at Vans:



(Mpora ads need to get out of my life)

Very much lastly, a little edit from Matty Long:

On a roll.

Already signed in when I go to make a blog post? That never happens! Anyways, here's a bunch of stuff that caught my eye today:

FBM sort of re-posted the Tom Blyth web-edit that came out late last year. It's an awesome vid, and it'd be rude not to re-post it, so here it is!



Speaking of old videos, this is 4 days or so old but I only got a chance to watch it yesterday. You've no doubt seen it elsewhere, but... well... handle it, I guess. From Mutiny.



It's always kinda seemed to me that Lotek had the fashion kinda riders, but Vans had the awesome, under-rated riders. This video goes some way to proving that - the second part of their Cali Bro tour. Pretty long, might wanna load this beaut up for a bit first.



I know what you're thinking - rain, in the North East? Best believe. Here's a vid from some people I'd not really heard of before in this guise, the TuWheelsCo. Bit of a roadtrip edit, featuring some intriguing spots!



Lastly, just saw this over on Dig - Tonash Goodyear's edit of the building of the Nike 6.0 Tunnel Jam. Really nicely filmed and edited with a pretty cool tune - not much in the way of riding, but those three plus points outweigh that!

Vans Euro America Global

Forgot to post this too, but it's good enough to warrant it's own post - the Vans Euro team riding some incredibly sunny and nice looking spots in California. Massively jealous, seeing as I'm about to go ride street in cold, dark Blackburn.



Bruno Hoffmann. Damn.

Ride posted it up...

The last few days...

Well, as a result of the Tim Lewis Live Text Update service I was getting I had a rough idea about the whole Ride to Glory gig, but a H-Man (Namedrop!) call on the way back from Leeds confirmed that WTP won this year. Good stuff. Go here for the legit coverage. Heard some interesting Jim C./Ben Hennon stuff, haha.

Anyways, as I mentioned, I was in Leeds for the Charles Prow "King For A Day" jam. Good times were had, and I think it was a great tribute to Charles. I put up some 'proper' words on the subject (and some photos) up here.

The day before, I ate a piece of fish that was as long as my forearm. All fish, right the way up the batter. Bangin'! I know, I know, I put it on my blog too, but it's a remarkable piece of food!



On the same weekend, P5 re-assessed whether Brighton Was Ready and held another jam. Ollie from Streetphire put this little edit together of the day.



In other news...

J.J. Palmere is back on Premium and back on your screens:



And finally, another video, courtesy of Madera, who took a trip to Memphis.

EDIT: Forgot to mention as well - I said a few days ago about Fly having proto plastic pedals - well, they do, as well as a new type of stem with a different way of clamping your forks, and some other little trinkets too, including a weird new rear hub that everyone kinda knows about anyway. Super precise info there, revel in it...

Onomatopoeia?

I think the word I used to describe the last trick in this video was "Pyoooaaar". No joke. Either way, comes from Ride - it's the shoot for the Benny L interview that's in the mag. It's actually out now, and the magazine in general is pretty worth reading.

Javier Ortega has a new Fly edit up, which I caught over on Dig (Where I also got weirded out by suddenly seeing my face in the Nike banner at the bottom):

Speaking of Dig, again, you dudes really need to check out the Nike Europe trip video I posted the link to (badly...) yesterday. Seriously, Click 'n' View!

Taliban sent me a link to The Ride Journal today, and told me to check out Issue 1 - there's some cool stuff in there, so if you get a chance, have a peek. For the record, the tyre lever shown on page 31 (60/61 of the actual thing) is the best kind of tyre lever ever made. They're so good...

I wrote, starred in and edited this post.

Dominik from Woozy described himself as "filmer, editor" and interestingly "Director" of this video. Best Boy, Grip and Stunt Doubles next?

Video overload...

Two vids for your viewing pleasure - Ben Hennon getting rad in a video to accompany his interview on Ride that I linked to before (Click the "Ben Hennon" tag below), and also one of the best webedits I've seen in quite a while by Albert Mercado and Hoang Tran.




Go to BNQT for more videos.

Ben Hennon.

I don't really understand why this interview didn't make it into a magazine (It's definitely more than "30 seconds with..."), hopefully not a sign of the times!

Part 1

Part 2

He also puts to bed that rumour about him and his Dad...
