Bits and (video) pieces.

First, some new product stuff. Cult have an Occult pivotal seat out. It's your usual stumpy Pivotal, but has what some people might consider a more alluring cover.



Cardinal's new frame also has a feature on Ride US. It's funny how MTB companies are always trying to copy BMX, but end up being a few years behind, whereas now a BMX company is copying what MTB companies used to do years ago. They're leaving behind vertical dropouts for a reason, but hey ho - I'm sure the public will decide...



Biggest embed code ever, by the way.

Oh - sort of a new product I guess, but issue 3 of CASE is due to drop soon. Don't think I saw #2, but #3 looks like it's light-years ahead of #1 in terms of design and (possibly) content, which is cool. Good to see progression there, and it's also good to see what looks like a pretty sweet end product. Looking forward to checking out the Tom Davis interview too - the guy's ridiculously good, yet still pretty much unknown. Having said that, I didn't realise he was sponsored now - although I probably knew at the time but forgot. Getting old or something... Anyways, Defgrip have the preview.

I'd heard plenty of rumours about the Carhartt video, and as a sort of 4-Down/Carhartt mix, here it is:



Lastly, before I eat my lunch and get back to work, here's a pretty random little edit feat. Eddie Cleveland and Jackson Ratima.



From TheMannaMachine, whatever that is?

Mark's Tedious Link?

In an old interview, Eddie Cleveland replied to the question "What would you change about yourself?" with "Bigger feet and hair like a white man." Well, Eddie has another interview up, and because I have larger feet, I missed out on getting the awesome pair of Etnies from TK Maxx my house-mate got by having undersized feet. Speaking of Etnies, the Odyssey X Etnies shoe is out - click that link to check it. How's that for editorial link-up? Pretty damn fine, if I say so myself.

One of my favourite web-videos from last year was a Give-D edit of the San Diego locals with some kind of remix of Born To Be Wild as the sound-track - Albert Mercado and Hoang Tran were stand-outs in that vid, and now Albert Mercado has a new little skatepark edit I spotted on the Kink site, and Hoang Tran has some lines in the latest Tuesdays With Miles I saw on TheComeUp.





Time for some photos methinks - first up, some awesome photos by Rob Dolecki (I shouldn't need to put 'awesome' before 'photos' there, bearing in mind Rob Dolecki hasn't ever seemingly shot a bad one) on Dig from a recent Banks Jam, and then some photos of Mike Hoder in a "The new flipbook" style thing on S&M.

EINBITTEN!

Is it wrong that "EINBITTEN" amuses me? Guessing that's "Embed" in German. Either way, poached this from over on Woozy. This video utterly rules in every sense.



Semi-related (In that they're a Vans Half-Cab bite), here are the new colour-way Lotek Eddies. They look sweeeeeeet.



The Federal blog is now up on BMXFeed, meaning I got the chance to see this Dan Cox updated bio with the greatest of ease.

Similarly, there's this rad update on FBM. Being able to make whatever frame you want has gotta be pretty damn awesome.

Stay Fit #11

Ooh, am I the first? Meh, who cares...

New products...

New Loteks have been released, loving the black/white/green Coastals!

Eddie Cleveland, tyre slides, ledges: All good.
