It lives!

Finally, Blogger works again!

To quote me from a few days ago:


I think I'm now the only person involved in BMX who isn't at The Pool, but bills needs paying and work needs doing. The final stages have been revealed, and the setup looks absolutely nuts. Head over to Defgrip where they've done the hard work so I don't have to, haha.

As a bit of a warm-up for watching some Dennis Enarson footage, here's a video from his recent trip to The Caribbean with a bunch of other dudes that ultimately ended up being covered by Dig in the form of an article and this video.



In related "Dig videos and articles" news, here's an edit of Stefan Lantschner and Simone Barraco by Matty Lambert that featured as an article in the new Dig. I thought I'd seen this already and wasn't really into it so I sort of avoided watching it the past few days, then happened to check it out again now and realised that not only had I not seen it before, but it's also an awesome video.



Briefly heading back to the Defgrip theme, here's a cool feature with Darryl Tocco. The dude's got a point...

It still doesn't really seem right seeing a Props trailer without that music, but the riding in this is legitimately nuts. Could pretty much watch Garrett Reeves footage all day.



In a slight contrast (and you know I'm all about the contrasts), from the glitz and glamour of Props to the more down-to-earth scenes of London, Bristol and Sheffield, here's Marv's video "Fair play".



This is pretty up-to-the-minute - here's a fresh edit of practise from The Pool which is reinforcing my feelings of being disappointed I can't make it and also showing how nuts it's going to be. Should be interesting checking out the differences between those sticking to the jump-box and those riding the whole setup. Speaking of, Brian Foster is going to be riding, and also has a signature frame and a bunch of other stuff coming out through Fit.



In a move that's no doubt going to somehow become as needlessly controversial as the "Why are there only white riders on the 'Role Models' issue cover?" internet-fuelled debacle of a few years ago, Ride have dedicated their next issue to a UK scene check with a strap-line of "This Is England". Should hopefully be some cool stuff in it though, so as long as you keep your eyes off message boards and comment fields it should be hunky dory. Click here to view Owain Clegg bagging himself a cover.

Moving swiftly on to actual interesting riding stuff, here's Aaron Smith celebrating becoming a full part of the Demolition team by making a little welcome edit.



Want to see some ridiculous "messing around" footage of some awesome riders? Of course you do...



Seth Kimbrough has been awesome for what seems like forever, and it's cool to see how his style has adapted and changed over time. This video's got what I'd consider to not really be his usual sort of stuff in it, but it's fully awesome.




Two words: Mike Hoder.



This S&M teaser/intro features Cameron Wood, Randy Brown and someone smashing a wheelie on a quad. I'm not not going to post it (double negative, you work it out...).



...and that's pretty much that.

As a little Brucey Bonus too, in the intervening period I found a photo of the new Sergio Layos grips from Fly.

Back in the game?

Well, sort of. Long distance trips each weekend are taking their toll. I do, however, still get a chance to watch BMX videos once in a while...

I hadn't seen any footage of Josh Harrington for pretty much forever until just now - his "April 2011" video's been pretty popular it seems, and with good reason. Brakes are off, over-pegs are on.



How come our security guards don't look like this? I mean, I could take or leave the gun aspect of things, but still...



That was shot by Rich Forne for Props - just a behind the scenes thing, so it'll be interesting to see the result...

Nike have money, and they aren't afraid to spend that money. This is how we end up with trailers like this one, for The Pool.



This is getting on a bit now, but Steve Churchill is a beast as this Demolition vid proves.



Shane Weston is one creative dude, which I highly approve of.



After a bit of a chat with Hman on Facebook the other night I had a lurk on Streetphire, where I saw this Unit 23 'spot check' by Dave Sowerby. The man can do no wrong, best edits! I mean I'm no fan of park edits, but this is awesome.



Kink put up this edit of the 'Best of' the Kink House as well as some unseen clips. The whole Kink team rule, so even though this is slightly older, largely re-used footage it's still boss.



Garrett Reeves is a beast. This is just 60secs of his riding - I'd urge you to check out his Football section (click his tag) to check that out too. So good.



Lastly - Fit put up this Trippin' edit to show they're bouncing back from that whole Cult thing. Some radness in this. Van Homan is still one burly dude even after bonking his head.



That video was documented in photographic form by Banners for the Albion (which has by now sold out. I snooze, I lose.). You can check out a little interview with Stew "Anthem" Johnson here about it too.

Pegs - who needs 'em?

Not Ben Hittle or Garrett Reeves.

Credit.

Cult update their website pretty much all the time with bits of info about their team riders, often accompanied with cool photos. Today is no exception, with Trey Jones doing a pretty rad manoeuvre - click here to view it.

Kink have put up their Euro Jetlagged video. Lloyd's got some bangers in this, as does pretty much everyone. Plenty of general drunken debauchery, but some good riding too!



More info's come out on the... er... 'interesting' Aitken gloves - those brown ones could actually be made of human faeces and they'd still sell like hot cakes. Check 'em here. If you like your gloves less camp, you're also covered.

Sunday continue to have a good team and a bad video player - here's a combination of those facts:



I don't think I posted it yesterday, but the second Lotek Mixtape video is going live now. This is the first section featuring David Grant and Craig Passero, rad stunts galore.



In 'Cool ender' news:



Proper's new video 'Picture Box' looks like it should be pretty cool:



...and that's pretty much it.

Haha, amazing.

Harry Main tries a 900.

Harry Main doesn't land it.

Announcer: "Harry fires off 900's in his sleep."

Aaaah, irony. Anyway, this is Harry Main's winning run (and his not winning run first) from the recent T-Mobile comp that I don't really know much/care much about. Saw this over on Ride. 27 second long Need For Speed adverts: Do one. So glad you can skip them now...



The S&M team rule. As proof, this is from a session or two near their HQ:



ESPN have a Ryan Sher comp on, but you've got to sign up and register with them to even be considered for the prize and you don't really want to have to do that, so for your own protection, I'm not linking you to it - simply telling you about it.

http://www.Footjams.com/Correctionhops Literally all I can really remember about this video. It's park though, so I'm not really the best judge of it. I'm sure some people will be keen.



Flatbank pyramid setups are way more fun that they theoretically should be. In related news, warehouse setups rule. Here's Mike Taylor and friends getting involved:



Lastly, this is an amazing video. Again, the spectre of the concept of 'online premieres' rears it's ugly head, but that's something I don't really have the time or energy to really write about now. Click here anyway, it's really, really worth it.

Then come back here, dammit.
