No time!

Pretty short on time, so here's a quick infoburst from the past few:

This Federal video, like most Federal videos, is very good.



Here are the edits from The Make/Mutiny trip that went down recently. Coverage is in the new Ride UK if you want to know more. Oh, and get well soon Roey!





Vans and Cult also did a trip recently, and here's their video.



Mike Escamilla has been there, done that, and received a plethora of T-shirts over the years. This is his latest video part, and if - like me - you were initially a little skeptical about how much you really wanted to watch it, it's definitely worth clicking over to and checking out. Some rad stuff in it! Click 'ere maaaaate.

Hotchpotch

Another day, another cool Rich Forne/Mutiny edit. This time featuring Mat Roe taking one in the ribs (And simultaneously one for the team) at the Works. Cool vid!



Another week, another cool Tuesdays With Miles edit. Pretty much chock full of riders I like watching ride: I approve. Fastplant to fastplant? Yeeeeah.



In semi-related news, Tammy Jane has some cool clips in this, as do the rest of the Coalition team.



Didn't even realise that Tony Hamlin was on Coalition...

Mixed bag.

If you're a fan of incomplete photos of pro riders bikes, then it's almost like Christmas (2011) has come early, thanks to Mutiny and G-Sport.

If, however, you like cool videos showing what it's like to be part of a team and getting to travel the world and get scared by some guy in a boat, this one's for you (thanks to the ever-awesome Kink.



Lastly, Red Banks Jam? Be there!

CALGONCALGONCALGON

Did my usual BMXFeed lap just now, and having sprayed open a load of tabs suddenly started hearing an advert for Calgon. I couldn't work out where it was coming from as all the pages were legit BMX sites and there were no pop-ups anywhere. Then I spotted a fun little auto-playing advert on TheComeUp, along with another advert about how I should apparently eat beef or lamb during the week. I think I prefered the way over the top skating-related adverts on there compared to weak, day-time TV style adverts about things I don't care about. Money's money though I guess? While I'm on the subject of skating, the new John Motta Bangin' is amazing.

More from Mutiny - this time, an out-takes video from their latest series.



They've also updated their site, so go check it out!

Oh, and continuing the theme of 'things I forgot' (at least one per day), here's a Matt Priest video I meant to put up yesterday.

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.

Confusing

Saw this on Mutiny's video page and wondered how I hadn't seen it before in that it was 4 days old, but then a quick look at the viewing figures suggests that it's only actually gone 'live' today. Thought I was slipping...



Goes without saying that it's pretty awesome though, Rich Forne's done a pretty decent job on that!

Bit more local-based, but there are more photos of Pijin's trip to the Nike Tunnel here by the official photographer Ben Mark. They're up on John's Flickr, so get amongst it. If you went there, you've pretty much been gifted a new Facebook profile photo, haha.

Watch these, now.

These two videos dropped within the past 3 hours or so, and they're both ridiculously good. One from Mutiny and one from Stranger. The Stranger one is fully amazing. I've never heard of that guy before, and me and my housemate just watched that video and it's the first one I've seen where I've literally been saying "Oh my God" after seeing moves in it. Watch it now!

I love good connections

My home connection is terrible, so I'm using this brief respite in Wales to post up some cool stuff.

Albert Mercado is one of my favourite riders to watch. Awesome style, creative, just great to see. This was up on Dig:



Mutiny have posted up two cool vids - one of Mat Roe getting rad, and the other of George Boyd doing a cool rail trick, then a not-so-cool knee destroying trick.





I quite like Stranger's site, and they've also got an interesting 'sponsor me' thing on the go. Bit different to the norm...



I haven't really been interested in the 'industry' side of things much at all lately, but Rob-O has an interview up on ESPN which is quite informative.

I now have to drive 3 hours home. Bye...

Man alive, check out the new Partners In Crime edit over on Freedom - those spots are amazing! Pretty rad video too, but hot damn, I wanna ride Spain/Italy now! Linkage.

Don't know whether it's 'cos they've got some holes to fill in their range now, or just that 4Down have been working on this for a while, but Ben Lewis is getting a signature frame according to Ride.



20″ – 21″ TT, 13″ rear end, 75.5 HT and 69 degree ST - interesting.

Apparently Seventies have a bit of room in their warehouses after Xmas, as they've managed to build a pretty nuts looking indoor setup there. Fair bit more to that than there was last time I was there!



In some ways I was glad I missed the NCSL prem so I didn't have to watch myself ride. Unfortunately for Sean Sexton and Darryl Tocco, this video got made. I guess on the flipside, they're actually amazingly good so it shouldn't be quite so much of a hardship...

Well whaddaya know?

With my wireless plan I get 12am-9am free, and usually it's dog slow. Tonight, however, it's on fire!

Couple of quick vids before some sleep and the resume of the daily grind - first up, Part Two of Ian Schwartz's part in the Sunday video. Click his label for P1.

Ian Schwartz, Part 2 from SundayBikes.com

Lastly, this banger of an edit from Charlie Jobling of Mat Roe and Robbo. Those two can't actually ever have a bad edit between them - fact. So good! I mentioned liking the smaller things like little hip tweaks, well, Mat Roe has a bunch of cool ways of going over a spine. It's the little things...

Yoink.

Poached good 'n' proper from both the Streetphire board and main site is this video of some dudes from Leeds riding both Leeds and Paris. Good stuff!



While I was grabbing the loot from SP, I also spotted that the next section from Brighton Ain't Ready is up - featuring Darryl Tocco, Davey Watson and Mat Roe. Jon Taylor (Namedrop) told me that he thought that Mat Roe hitting that sign thing like a spine (Hammerdrop) was the best thing in B.A.R. Bold claim, but at the same time it's pretty true. I mean, you really need to see that thing, but I have no idea how you'd ever think of doing that, nor be capable of doing it. Just another reason that that dude's so good - incredible control, something a lot of people seem to neglect as they try and +1 their whip or bars count...

Paul Buchanan.

Doing 10 years ago what most people can't do today.

Mat Roe's got some cool pics at MutinyBikes.com.

Relevant title.

Continuing in the Dig Are Awesome series of posts on their site, next up is the Paul Buchanan "Solo Missions" article. Well worth checking out. If you don't know who he is, educate yoselves, fools. Click here!

Josh Betley's got another cool Felt webvid up, that weird playground wall-bank spot looks soooo good. Either way, it's more of the same creative, smooth, flowy riding that Josh is becoming known for.

Stoked On Being Pumped was a great video, and Mat Roe had one of the best sections in it. Mutiny have now uploaded that section to Vimeo. Awesome.



Completely unrelated, but trails are fun. Thanks Taliban!

Mutiny/TWW

Mutiny have a cool little vid up of Joe Simon, Ryan Smith and Mat Roe all building up some fresh bikes. Gotta be pretty sweet getting everything new, box-fresh like that. I'm generally too busy being overly concerned about whether my new frame/forks/bars/whatever will feel better or worse than my old ones to really be able to appreciate it all fully, so I guess if you're sticking with the same setup getting it all shiny and new has gotta rule.

In semi-related news, Gaz/Joe, if you happen to read this - shotgun on Roey's old Cosmotron? Called it...



In the continuing TWW posting trend, Monday's passed so it's Tomorrow We Work side two time. This time - the Nearly section and the Team2Street/Confuse Americans section. All good.

What a hero...

Tom Mann - what a hero.

Much like Tom's bike setup, I'm going reasonably ghetto/old school with this blog post because as a result of a rubbish internet connection, I'm having to make like I did with DISSRM's old blogs and write it all up in Notepad, then copy it over and hope I got all the coding right. Fingers crossed.

So - where to start? Well, maybe with a slew of Mutiny news? First up, the quieter member of the Mutiny team, Brandon "It's pronounced Harris" Hoerres has a new webvid out. It's official, the point at 1:25 is the worst feeling when you ride.

In other Mutiny Team Rider News, Ryan Smith got given a fresh setup that you can check more photos of here. Pretty rad. Even... um... "radder" still is Mat Roe's new bike, which you can see here. Can't wait for the "You've copied Mat Roe's bike!" accusations during South Bank weekend sessions...





Mat Roe's new Cosmotron



Ryan Smith's new Mystic


Speaking of, the last SB session ended a little sour for one Phil Feeney. Pegs to unintentional ice to front-wheel-rail-support-hookup to O.T.B. to eyebrow gash to hospital trip. Dialled. I don't know how well this'll work, but if you want to see my friend get taken out in HD, go here.



Celebrity rider/photographer/Pijinblog contributor Mike Netley ("Poor man's Rob Castle" according to this month's "Firing Line" column by Dye) has a fresh new bike, which I saw up on Deluxe. Sweet!



Alex Kennedy has gone from someone I hadn't heard of 'til James introduced me to the guy he was doing some "Stay True" tattoo for to BMX styley tweaky superstar with a bunch of people sponsoring him from Fit to Nike. He's also now landed himself some prime coverage in the form of the cover of Ride 126 - and has duly been given an interview up on their site to ask him about the trip, the shoot and so on. In very much related news, the new issue's really good. A definite step up from some stuff recently with some awesome roadtrip articles from both Fit and Federal, and yet more rad Dolecki content (Potentially his last now he's switched teams?) - definitely worth your money in Borders/W.H. Smith's tills. Or indeed Pijin's if you're in Southampton!

Bits 'n' bobs.

Instead of talking about riders chopping and changing who they're representing, this time it's magazines? In order (Leaving out the obvious Noble/Noble change)...

Nathan Beddows is now bumped up to Assistant Editor on Ride.
Brian Tunney is off Dig.
Rob Dolecki is off Ride, and is now on Dig flow as Managing Editor and Photographer.

There are apparently a few other change ups in the works, so I'll keep you up to date in Media Team News some time soon. I guess it's all Factory so it's all the same thing anyway? Who knows. If you particularly want to find out, word on the street is that all the Ride guys head up to Cantelowes on a Wednesday night to ride so you could ask them yourself. Cantelowes is usually a pretty good time, so might as well!

Oh yeah - whole point of this spiel was that Rob D has a piece up on Dig about the change-up. Rob's an amazing photographer and writer so if he gets to put more time into getting content setup then that's all good.

Speaking of stuff I'm into - Mat Roe. Specifically, Mat Roe's signature frame from Mutiny, which you can catch a preview of right here.

In other New Product news, H-Man informs me/tells me to post up that Seventies have a bunch of new Kink stuff up. Here's a taster, go check it out! Or H-Man will kill me. Go there now. New Kink fatter seats? Winners.



Madera's Lil Jeff has a rad new vid up - plenty of pedalling, plenty of style, aaaaall good.

Ooooooooh, also almost just forgot the new Ian Frickin' Schwartz webvid. Another change of style for the Madonna of BMX? Ridden with some many different styles before! Read that interview with him I posted a few days ago on the Sunday site, then watch this vid...


BROUGHT TO YOU BY SUNDAY!
