Man, straight from the archives - this was a draft I saved whilst I was pretty frickin' tired and not really in the frame of mind to be actually writing stuff. So yeah, slightly tweaked, here's some old stuff that's good:
Kriss Kyle
Ben Lewis
Tim Knoll gets chatty.
And now for some new stuff:
Josh Bedford has a pretty interesting living setup, which you can see on Dig, and indeed in Dig #81.
Caleb Quanbeck and the lesser known Jabari Winters feature in this Hoffman edit. Nozzzzzzz.
Ashley Charles absolutely rules, in this case 'for' Eclat.
Sticking with the 'A's, Albert Mercado has the nicest style. Even if this was a dedicated filming-missions-galore type video this would be cool, but word on the internet is is that it was filmed during lunchbreaks and general time off work. All good. For Shadow...
Lastly - I'm going to a rally school tomorrow to drive fast sideways. Despite the fact I'm going to be ragging around in a pretty sweet rally-specced car, I'd imagine that I'm still going to be going slower than Gary Young in this edit for Odyssey.

Compare and contrast...
One's a video from a major company showcasing the riding of some of the best known riders on the planet, with travel budgets, pro salaries, appearance fees, etc., and one's a lo-fi video filmed by some guy from Sheffield to document some riding with his friends. Interesting to see which one had the biggest effect on the BMX world though. I wish my copy of Voices still worked...
I can still pretty clearly remember getting home, seeing my copy of Voices had come then how it felt watching it for the first time. Game changer.

No... energy...
I'm super tired and can't really think enough to string sentences together properly, so here are two cool videos - one from Mutiny, and one from Rob Ridge.

Holidays should be relaxing
...but they aren't. As a result of a brief roadtrip then a load of image editing work, I've been a bit out of the loop this week, so as much for my own benefit as anything else, here's some stuff.
2 bits from Matty Lambert - some filming tips, and also a clip of Bengo confusing what seems like all of America with this nozzer edit.
Vimeo has some new coding action on the go, so if it goes wrong, directly blame Vimeo and indirectly blame those tool-bags over at Apple.
Dan Lacey has dropped a new Daily Telegraph edit. That's a phrase I didn't think I'd ever say. Head over to Federal to view it, as I refuse to put auto-playing videos on here...
Federal also have the new Dig cover on their site, and in new magazines news Ride is out now too, which features a Mutiny X Etnies trip - the video of which is here:
Speaking - as we were - of Ride, they've got a new edit of Lima up which also gives you the chance to win an ATF. Click that link to go over there and grovel like a 'tard like so many people seem to, thinking it'll enhance their chances.
I don't know why, but the way that video was edited sort of made it seem like as a viewer, I was being punished for something. In related 'music I didn't like' editing news, Ride US posted a 2 week old video on their site that featured literally the worst song I've ever heard - which was in fact so bad I'm not posting it here - but it did lead me to seeing this video of Hoang Tran on Vimeo after I did a bit of lurking on Subrosa's channel. Hefty.
Another Vimeo find was this edit of Bruno Hoffmann. The guy's ridiculous.
Very much lastly because I'm tired of this screen, go to LeastMost, read an interview about it, then watch I Love My Bicycle. Most definitely worth it.
Linky linky.

Ironic?
Yeah yeah, I know, says one thing and does another... Anyways, here's some cool video footage that's now sort of old. From Pete Greaves' rad For Those About To Peg video, sections 1 and 2 - from Streetphire.
While I'm content raping Streetphire, H posted up this link to Richard Baybutt's France trip photo gallery. While we're talking good photos, Joe Cox is pretty handy with an SLR, and here's a couple of exhibits to prove that - Exhibit A and Exhibit B
So, that's what grip moulds look like?
Bit more Ben Lewis Signature Frame Info, courtesy of Ride UK:
The kids need dropping off so this is the last niblet for today - Niki Croft rules.

Teasers 'n' B-rolls?
Vans have done some tour (that I think they did updates for a while back, maybe?) that's now gonna be in RideUK next issue (In magazine news, Photo Issue of Dig out now - doesn't take a genius to work out there's probably going to be a reasonable amount of Ricky Adam shots in there, which means there's going to be a reasonable amount of awesome photos at the very least). There's going to be an 'exclusive' video on the Ride site when the issue drops, so sit tight. Plenty of big guns in it, watch out!
Everyone in the 'media' seems to be buzzing over Let's Get Mystical, but I'm not really convinced. It's reasonably good, but having watched it after watching Attention Stalybridge and The Wythenshawe Waltz and a few other awesome videos, it just seemed fairly protracted and most definitely more filler than killer. I can appreciate the more artsy sorta videos there, and definitely have no problem with them, but it just didn't really do it for me like Stoked On Being Pumped (ironically) did. Anyways, here's some B-roll stuff, which kinda gives you a reasonable taster of what it's like to watch.

Lunchtime videotechque.
Couple of gems appeared on Defgrip today - first up, this brand-spanking-new Mutiny/Josh Bedford edit by Joe Cox:
Then in their convenient "Related" section, a pretty bangin' Stefan Lantschner edit from a few months ago that's very much worth a watch again:
Both of those dudes have some pretty ideal signature frames out too, Josh's Lucky Strike and Stefan's Montana. Om nom nom...
EDIT: Bit of outside help for this courtesy of IMG in the comments sections, here's the Montana:
Couple of semi-local-ish edits too, with Adolfo putting in an edit for Amity and Cal (who co-wrote the Southampton scene report in the new issue of Case) putting together an Odessa edit from Holland (which I spotted over on Ride UK, who have the accompanying article in the latest issue):
Tom Perry is a pretty rad dude who happens to be awesome at general art-related stuff, but also at riding. His part in the Give D video was cool (click his name tag to find it), and this new Odyssey edit is most definitely worthy of your time too - not least because it features the best manny to three I've ever seen in it. That's how you do 'em, not that manny to 3-tap business...
This green thai chicken soup is both tasty and not going to eat itself, so byyyyeeeee.

Usually, the standard "WEED WEED WEED 4:20 BLAZE BLAZE BLAZE" kinda web-vids are pretty tedious, and seem to have to feature at least 15seconds of footage of people just smoking, but fortunately, this video doesn't. I went to the Bristol P5 street jam yesterday (Which, since you're asking, was awesome), and like after most jams, web-videos just bore me. They never really get that 'feel' of riding after seeing plenty of nuts stuff in the flesh, but this video broke through that and is really good. Good tune, awesome riding, good filming. Winners.
I've actually got a set of bolts heading across the Atlantic from this guy (I hate the imperial bolts on my Profile stem. They're getting dangerously tweaked out already. 6mm bolts on everything rule.), so it's good to hear a bit more about the man himself. Click here for an interview with the dude who runs BlueSix.
This is the Brighton Ain't Ready mix section, that has so many different people in it that I'm reasonably sure the only people who aren't in this video are you and me. No joke.
Plenty of deeecent stuff in here, straight from Dig.
Josh Betley has a frighteningly unpleasant looking bike. No joke.
That's all for now. They tweaked the prescription for my lenses in my glasses, and I have a beast of a headache coming on...

Not again...
Well, it looks like Mutiny are making another frame I want? Second time it's been a Josh Bedford signature frame too...
Due out in October, by which time I'll hopefully have a job again and be able to afford such luxuries. Tempter.
In other "NEW PRODUCT" news, a 30 second video about bolts?
To be honest, speaking as a generally pegless rider, I'd rather have a bit more bolt to aim for for grinds 'n' stuff, but then again I do 'em weird.
And... uh... well, that's it. Dave Gorman, incidentally, is ridiculously good live, as I had the luck to find out tonight. Too good. I imagine the tickets have all sold out, but if you're near one of the venues for his latest tour, beg, borrow or steal to get there. It even involves bikes!

I can't think of a decent title.
Ani-A.BikeCo. have some new wheelsets that are coming out that, judging from the price of the LM and LM-R rims, will probably be worth more than their weight in gold when they come out. Seriously, people are probably going to sack off scrapping copper and switch to these wheels. Anyway, Format have some photos up here.
Josh Bedford's got a new sample of his signature frame through Mutiny. Om nom nom.
Oh, and pegs?
Seems like they're uploading the rest of the 2X4 DVD? Pretty handy considering my copy is some 400 miles away from here and I really want to see Randy Brown's section again. He does have the ender though, so at one a week it'll almost be a Christmas present from them...
But for now, Cody Jennings.
Giant have some photos of their new products up (In retrospect, I probably should've put this after the Animal/Mutiny stuff? Poor lay-out...) on Chris Arriaga's bike. Worth checking out anyway. Bear in mind that Giant make virtually every bike out there, the quality should be good - wonder if it'll hold out?

"R.I.P.", probably?
Well, Michael Jackson has died. Downer. However, the 'downer' continues for these people. Is Michael Jackson alive? £1,750 for 2 VIP tickets? Bet they're hoping that auction gets cancelled...
Macneil have updated the DeuceDeuce, so if you want to make a BMX limo, buy that frame, get some spinners and go nuts...
Dig have put up a "Behind the scenes" kind of interview thing about the Random Wrench. I had the old one and it was sweet, but I wish I had the new one 'cos it'd make packing my bag to move to Newcastle on Saturday 100% easier...
I've only watched the first 10 seconds of this video and stopped it afterwards to post on here - watch as Terry Adam goes to toptube just getting onto his bike. Flatlander style for you I guess...
Priceless. Anyway, Josh Bedford sent it, Joe Cox captured it, Joe Simon/Gaz Sanders branded it, Ride and Dig printed it:
I don't know why, but the Blogger Uploader seems to invert that photo? Weird. Head to the Mutiny site to check it anyway - MutinyBikes[dot]com.
Word on the street (Well, on Woozy) is that a Stefan Lanstcher video part (For Carhartt) is gonna drop soon. Hell. Yes.
Lastly, this video wins:

Writing: No thanks.
I now know 10,000 words more about the future of citizen photojournalism than I did 2 weeks ago. Meh...
Apologies for the lack of updates, but needs must and all that jazz. To make up for it, here's a skate video. Ha. It's pretty sweet though so check it out, it's not like you've got anything else to do? And if you do, well, make time for it... Clicky
Heard rumours of this from when they were filming at SB, and lo, here t'is - at home with Benson.
Beginnings of an ambitious project? Just listed some local spots to me (How useful for people in Southampton? Come ride here!), gradually gonna expand it. My legacy for when I leave London? Who knows.*
When did Robbie Morales fire Tim Westwood from his script-writing team? He actually sounds normal now...
Josh Bedford number 1:
Josh Bedford number 2:
Muy bueno.
Ollie Dubs (As I've just decided to call him) has made this video for the Nike Media Apprentice thing that, if you haven't entered already, you're pretty much to late for.
More BMX >>
I wish I could go to the Newcastle P5 jam this weekend. Seriously, Newcastle's too good. Only been there once, now I'm moving there in July? Smitten.
That made news? What? Really? Copyright: TheLondonPaper.com in case they try and sue or some jibber jabber.
I've ridden bikes recently, so have others - Brazel and Tim.
Related: Both of those mediocre spots are on that Googlemaps map.

Scraps...
Mark Noble is continuing to put up cool stuff on ESPN, showing again why he helped steer Ride so well for such a long time. In this article he has a pretty interesting interview/talk with Chris Harrison, product designer for Federal. Well worth a read!
In semi-related news, Ride have a video up on their site from the Corby sessions that took place while they got the content together for the latest Role Models issue. Seems to have been a controversial issue, but people talking is better than people keeping quiet. Being made to think about things is good...
There must've been some hectic friction burns for Jason Phelan.
In that interview issue of Ride, the long overdue Josh Bedford interview is featured as a full interview. He pulls some pretty crazy lines for it, has an interesting story to tell, and seems to generally have something worth saying. Anyways - key thing is that after KO'ing his collar bone, he's now back riding and testing a signature frame, according to Mutiny, which is where I grabbed this pic from.
Whilst we're talking about interesting, different individuals, Ian Schwartz - who's been pretty under the radar of late - has a bikecheck up on RideUS's site, which is where this tech little widget is from:
Actually, that's a lie - I just went to copy the embed code and they've disabled it, so you've got to go here to check that out. BONUS! Ian also has a few things to say on the Sunday site, including some stuff about new shoes, new spots and new Lotek videos. Apparently Rich Hirsch has remembered he's made some of the best videos around, and is going to do more. Good times!
Probably should've put this earlier, but ESPN have a new video up of Brian Hunt that seems fairly similar to one I've posted before, but I'm fairly sure isn't the same one...
You be the judge?
Check out from 00:37 - 00:44 - potentially the most hectic rollback I've ever seen.
Speaking of hectic, Proper have a new stem coming out in their disappointingly non-flight enabled Microlite range:
Here's the details straight from Bikeguide, which therefore might mean they're not actually true:
Specs:
- 6061 T-6
- 52mm reach
- 249g (8.78 oz)
- Recess allowing for the fork compression bolt to sink flush for a clean look.
- Rounded back that stays out of the way of your knees.
- Internally relieved and slotted top to bottom (stronger than side to side).
- Additional clamping area for slip-free bars.
S&M have a new shorter Redneck XLT coming out, and a new Randy Brown frame, but their site is so abhorrent that I'm not even going to link to it. Just imagine a slightly refined, stubbier Redneck, and a fancier Fit Dehart frame. Hey presto!
In semi-local scene news, Tom Chilvers, who some of you dudes at Pijin will know, fully mangled his ankle tonight:
Whips: Fully not worth it. But seriously dude, get well soon!
"Myspace" Dan has upped and left the UK now, having left Southampton a week or two ago. It's actually his birthday today/yesterday (3rd March), which he spent somewhere in Cambodia - happy birthday Dan!
