Controversy.
So, it's X-Games weekend and we've already had the standard controversy about results. What seems strange is that it seems everyone's complaining about Daniel "Styleless" Dhers beating Dennis "Knows how to ride a bowl" Ennarson in Superpark, yet when Jamie "Knows how to ride a vert ramp super well" Bestwick beats trick ferrets people seem to complain about him winning 'yet again' just for going big, fast and smooth but not necessarily doing the most ground-breaking tricks. I don't really get that, but hey ho - here's a fairly boring video of people doing a lot of the same stuff on vert (as well as Jamie Bestwick going super high and super smooth), and some slightly more interesting stuff in the Superpark finals. You can theoretically watch the Street finals at midnight tonight here, but I'm not 100% sure that'll work...
Interesting how the most talked-about banger in the Vert category was that no-handed 900, last seen not that far off 10 years ago by a certain Mr. Hoffman. Progression...
For the record, I'm all about the lines and transfers Chase Hawk bangs out.

Garrett Reynolds and Dennis Enarson on TV?
Nike are spending big on their advertising over the coming months... their new action sports commercial will be playing from the 1st July in cinemas and TV.
Now you can point out who Dennis Enarson and Garrett Reynolds are to your granny when the adverts start rolling during Coronation Street. :)

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.

Two things I forgot from before - firstly, Garrett Reynolds is now in San Diego. Productive sessions ahoy?
And secondly, Tony Malouf having a cracking good time (ho ho ho).

All I'm saying is...
...click here, add to basket, hit up GoogleCheckout, wait for it to arrive (usually pretty rapid, cheers dudes!), put it in your DVD player, get blown away. The new WTP DVD is that good. Andrew Jackson's opening section is awesome then it just continues to escalate from there. I'd sort of forgotten how good a lot of WTP's more under the radar team is (e.g. Max Gaertig, Mike Brennan and Chester Blacksmith - all of whom you don't really see much new footage of a lot of the time), so it was a treat to see a load of bangers from them. Go buy it! Here's the trailer to whet your appetite:
Moving on to free stuff from people you do see a lot of, here's a mix of Garrett Reynolds, JJ Palmiere, Hoang Tran, Dennis Enarson, Ty Morrow and a couple of others. Some pretty rad moves in this. Ty Morrow = next level? Also features one of the nicest pulled toothy hangers I've ever seen courtesy of the freshly-brakeless Dennis Enarson.

Postscript
Just spotted this over on the substantially awesome Props website - I remember seeing this in the actual Props 71 DVD and thinking it was cool, but this jam looks all good.
This is a lot older (online speaking) but from the same issue - Steve Debusk has a pure meathead style, despite being vegan (that's "pure meathead style" in a very good way). Yeah, you work that out. Rad lines.

Reason.
Almost a week off? Er... yeah... about that...
Whilst I didn't really do much in the space of a week apart from ride quite a lot and watch rugby matches in freezing stadiums in Cardiff, Rich Forne managed to show how the productive people of the world do things by going to Israel and managing to get a billion clips despite both riders taking themselves out of the equation mid-way through the trip. Skills. A different take on things to most BMX videos which is cool to see.
That was for Mutiny in case you hadn't guessed.
Keeping it more local (Although knowing Bow, probably about as dangerous as being in Israel), Tim Lewis is now hooked up good 'n' proper and has this video to celebrate that fact. I knew Tim pretty well from the 3 years of riding around London we shared together, but getting to hit up London again recently to say hi again was a treat. Rad dude, and no video will ever really give you the full Tim experience.
Tim's style always sort of reminded me of Brad Simms, and as if to just give me the evidence to try and prove that, The Set put up this video of him a day or two ago. Simply ridiculous. Going uuuup...
Lastly, Cinema put this up today. Awesome team, soon to have some good product flowing out the door too if rumours are to be believed? Anyways, here she blows.

Cool video Friday?
Seems to be.
Kink are operating a strict 'one in one out' team member policy it seems, so out with the old (Lil Jon) and in with the new (Chad Osbourn). Style for miles.
Also, 4Down have released their "Substance #3" video, filmed in Iceland. Cool riding, cool editing, cool filming, cool temperatures.
Staff took all their ridiculously good riders on a bit of a trip. Unsurprising, the riding is really, really good.
Lastly, if you go to China, watch out for those cross-roads, yeah?

Cough cough.
Just been using some tinted lacquer in the next room, and that + a cold = bad times in a respiratory sense. Not cool.
What is cool is going online and finding a Cinema promo up. Chase Dehart, Garrett Reynolds, Corey Martinez, Sean Sexton, Nathan Williams? Mm-hmm.
Now - if someone named their contest and had the phrase "Street" in there, you'd expect some street, wouldn't you? Well, apparently not...

Context.
I'm typing this seated on a brand new office chair, sitting at a desk with my laptop, a proper mouse and mouse-mat, a digital typewriter, an external hard-drive, a massive dead moth that's staring at me and some turbo strength cold/flu medicine. Just thought I'd set that scene for you. Feels pretty pro...
Speaking of pro - the Rail Jam at Interbike is potentially the only real thing I'm going to post from Interbike in so much as it was the only thing that actually involved riding, and I'm very much more interested in that rather than more unimaginative parts. Some of the lines people do in this are about a million % more original and innovative than almost every part shown at Interbike this year. Vital had this video up - I don't want to put any spoilers, but damn... I really want to say how awesome it was to see some of the moves in there.
Speaking of things that are awesome - any Erik Elstran footage is good, and this video for The Set is no different. I'm keen on anything that's pretty much done purely to wind up people who deserve to be wound up, so if you find yourself recoiling in horror and heading over to TheComeUp to cry about the double 'giver' in this video, then you and I probably wouldn't get along.
In total contrast to that, most Etnies edits seem to be produced to try and appeal to as many people as possible and offend as few people as possible, and this video's not really much of an exception. That being said, there's some cool stuff in there.
Cult apparently had a promo they made to play at Interbike, so it should be cool seeing that when it drops for us 'normies' who didn't go to the Worst Place In The World just to look at some bicycle parts and watch Garrett Reynolds do a fakie nozzer down a ledge (Spoiler!), but The Trip have already put their promo video up. Pretty much a remix of their sweet 35min long 'promo' video from before, but still, worth watching:
Speaking of promos, I can't remember if I put this up before, and checking requires extensive clicking and looking so I'm not going to do that, but hopefully I didn't... Eclat's team is "Stacked" as they'd probably say on ESPN, and for good reason.
That's it. Apologies for the lack of external linking, but I'm very much not in the mood to type a href = "" target="_blank" and all that jazz over and over again. I hope that I'm not about to find that writing that in the middle of this paragraph explodes the Blog when I click "Publish Post" after I write the labels in for this post. If I didn't, woo. If I did, fffuuuuuuu-

Yet more Almond news.
Brad Simms is absolutely ridiculous.

Out of the blue...
Pretty ideal video to pop up of a Saturday morning - a 35 minute web-video feat. pretty much all the most interesting riders around. Click here to view it, see some good riding, and if you're "One of them" to realise that a good video doesn't mean you put a 50mm on your dSLR, put it on a tripod then film the same boring ultra close up, slow-mo'd clips of people's tyres at a skatepark over and over again, then make a cripplingly boring 5 minute long video that could've been 30secs...

The quest continues...
In the battle to try and find a new, proprietary media player that refuses to work on the most platforms, and also have the worst interface, another player has stepped up to take on the might of BNQT and Ride US.
Seriously, Vimeo works really, really well already. On the plus side, at least there's not a 4-hour long intro and outro ad like on Freedom or Mpora?
Speaking of Ride US, this is on their style player - Garrett Reynolds at Simpel.
Gotta go, toodle pip!

Randy? S and M.
This dude now rides for Eclat, and is also a winner:
It's been a while since Randy Taylor's had an all-out banger section, so it's always good to see this again!
A bit of S&M for you too. I'm too kind.
If you've got a WTP Warrior frame, go here to win some stuff. Pretty exclusive contest - if you've got one, you've probably got a good chance of winning!
Lastly, courtesy indirectly of TCU, and directly of Manmade, a reminder that a fair while back Garrett Reynolds was better than almost everyone else is today.

Busy day?
Moving house, driving for 7 hours, not water in my house all day. Grumble. May well explain this post?
These are two new videos from Nike (That I saw over on Defgrip - linkity link!). I can appreciate that people outside of BMX might be able to make better looking videos with fancier graphics, but if you want someone to capture the 'feel' of BMX, someone involved with it is always going to get the point. It's pretty much a fact. If you look at photography and video work by people like Edd Templeton, Larry Clark and so on, their work is amazing because they're actively involved with what they're portraying. You can't get the real atmosphere and vibe of something if you have no involvement with it. There are so many talented filmers and photographers involved with BMX it seems ridiculous that they overlooked all of them. The majority of the BMX media world are generally under-valued as it is (Bearing in mind that without good filmers, those DVDs and web-videos everyone like to watch wouldn't exist, and without good photographers, those magazines that people like to read wouldn't exist either), so when they're denied even getting some kind of break by companies (Nike aren't alone in this, there are other BMX companies just as guilty), it seems utterly ridiculous.
Take it like a man! Sinisi filmed a large part of a video part with a broken leg... From Proper.
Posted the rest of these, so here's Day 5 of the Frenchys tour.
Leo won.
Lacey is also a winner, but for different reasons (Side note - it's nuts people are doing stuff this substantial for a little web video?!):
Also on Seventies's's's's's video stream, Dakota Roche checking the readiness of Brighton.
Saw the pole jam in this S&M web-video, and it reminded me of how awesome pole jams are. Seriously, if you haven't ridden one, you're missing out. They're ride-able pegless too, so even if you aren't a fan of trick sticks you can still get involved. If you can't find one, make one - it's not hard.
