Raul Ruiz has a little edit up for DC to show off their new BMX shoe. About time?



While we're talking new product - T1's new SFA has it's own page now!



4.5lb T1 frame?

Kriss Kyle, by Miles Rogoish:


Go to BNQT for more videos.


The idea of processed cheese on microchips is worrying.

Dakota Roche. Dakota Roche? Dakota Roche!

Levi's® Clip of the Week - Dakota Roche SoCal... - More BMX Videos

Eastern have a trailer out for their new video, but they've made it a lot of hassle to embed, and for a trailer that's not even that good I'm not going to bother. Just imagine little second long fragments of clips set to music you don't care about. Thaaaat's it.

Actually, to fully carry out my blogging duties, here it is. Warned you...



Lastly, TheComeUp have an interview with Rich Hirsch. Talks about what's going on with Fremont, Coast, etc...

Salvation.

As an antidote to all this overly light-weight ridiculousness, T1 have put up a photo of the Solid-made Garrett Byrnes Barcode, with rumours of a regular Solid-made Barcode in the pipeline too.



To be honest, without that seat-stay/top-tube junction that was so good even Haro copied it, it's not really a Barcode in my eyes, but it's still a step in the right direction!

Unrelated, but I was just on my Twitter account doing some promo for my other blog when I spotted a new Scott Ditchburn edit on the Ride site.

Shut. Down.

Andalucia Part Three from FoxHeadInc on Vimeo.

Seriously, watch watch watch! This video is awesome. Chase Hawk is too good, and Ruben's the boy. Bonus G. Byrnes footage too. But yeah, slow-mo, well-ridden trails is always a treat. Probably has the best 'riding trails' vibe out of any video I've seen recently, can sorta get a sense for what it'd be like especially seeing Chase pumping through it in ultra slow-mo. Those twists too, hot damn. That 3 one foot can was sweeeet. WATCH THIS VIDEO. I'm pretty sure this was filmed and edited by Joe Rich, so massive tip of the hat to him 'cos the whole Andalucia series has been awesome. Click the 'Fox' tag below to check the rest out.

Garrett Byrnes.

I think the thing from this article that properly epitomises it is probably that ridiculous double-set wallride gap. This probably won't work, but hey ho.



Basically, growing up, I only really had Trafaelio and You Get What You Get as inspiration, and that pretty much meant I was all about Steven Hamilton and Garrett Byrnes. Garrett's general outlook on life seemed pretty rad, and that, coupled with his awesome riding style, made him a sort of 'hero' of mine in BMX terms. His riding may be different these days, but it's still awesome as is the man himself.

To put it into perspective, this article's just under 7 years old. Amazing.

Go here, right now. Just go here and read this.

If only there were more interviews like this nowadays. I love old school Dig (And new school too, in fairness - the newest issue (Max G on the cover) has some rad stuff too).

T-1? T-Win!
