Tammy Tammy Tammy?

Another day, another Tammy video. The toothy hanger 180 is awesome.



I've heard/read a lot about Drew Hosselton before but couldn't really remember much about his riding. Turns out he's msot definitely got the skills, as this Demolition video shows!



Eduards Zunza is yet another person I'd heard of but didn't know much about. For some reason I thought he was just some park dude, but them rails be serious.



While we're talking rails, here's a split video from Iz and 'Andrew' for Cult.



Lastly, if you're headed to NASS, here's some info for you on the street spots on offer. An interesting concept, although I think I'd rather go and ride London for a weekend rather than riding a pale imitation of them surrounded by inebriated pikeys. Click here for that.

Bits 'n' bobs.

Give-D have a cool edit up on Odyssey's site. Some really, really good riding in this, and a generally cool vibe.

GIVE D'S TEXAS TRIP FROM ODYSSEYBMX.COM

Lotek have both an entirely new product line, but also a warranty page. Probably a first for a BMX shoe company? Either way, for those of you out there with hassles with Loteks, find your receipts and e-mail away.



Everyone's firing out 2010 completes, Verde are no exception.

Lightsinthewoods have an edit from NASS up, spotted on Proper:



And, according to the tabs I have left open on Firefox, that's a wrap!

Coincidence?

Down at Exi yesterday, Dino was talking about a guy called Fathead, who apparently also won a pair of Lotek shoes at the last P5 jam up in Newcastle. I hadn't really heard of him before, but upon checking out Streetphire, I noticed Tom Kirkby had switched out the no longer working RTRBTN "Hitler" video for this new edit by Cleggy. It's rad, watch it!



No meat = bad back!

John put up some pics of the new WTP completes last week, but apparently they were a little premature. To set the record straight, Klaus over in Cologne has popped up a flipbook with more photos and plenty of details about the new line. Seriously dialled bikes, and I don't use that horrendously over-used word lightly. Click it to view full-screen, which is obviously recommended unless you're a Borrower or something.



I'd happily ride pretty much any one of the top end ones. Gone are the days of rubbish 1 piece cranks and 44t sprockets on all the completes around!

Dig have put up an edit of the NASS weekend by Sam Barrow. Click the NASS tag down below to scope out other edits from the weekend.



Dig had also put up this video of DK doing a Euro trip. Wasn't really that into the video, but Kachinsky footage is Kachinsky footage.



ESPN had posted up this 'exclusive' video of Kirk Shearer. First spotted Kirk's riding on TheComeUpBoard trying to twist El Toro. "Status set", apparently? Anyways, this edit's pretty fun, although after the "NAVY!" pre-roll ad, all I could think about was the Family Guy Navy song...



Random bit of other info - Kink's newest conquer-all rider Lloyd has now learnt flairs, meaning he's pretty much there on his quest to become one with Sean Sexitime. No idea if this'll work, but check the HD video here. Take it to the streets next!

One last thing...

...entirely forgot to post Rich Wilson/Forne's edit of the NASS Street finals. Put the 'ambient' edit up before, so here's what's essentially part two:

NASS 09 - BMX STREET FINAL from SAMPLES on Vimeo.

Happier stuff...

ESPN had this video up today, well worth checking out. Yeah, yeah, he's goof - but so what, the riding's awesome!



Awesome on ESPN is another of Mark Noble's awesome series of interviews with various movers and shakers in the BMX industry, this time is the "Part two" of his interview with Profile. Click, read, learn.

Props have a new video out soon, #73. Still using that same title sequence, troopers.



Rich Wilson's first job since getting the Nike gig was to document NASS, which he duly did. Here's the 'non riding' edit that I saw on Ride's site:



"Lil Jon" took time out from being a mediocre rapper to do a web-video for Sun-Ringle:



I've been mentioning the whole BMX media thing quite a lot recently, and how I'm pretty sure there's change in the air - perhaps this is the first sign? According to TheComeUp:

Alex Raban sent over this day edit of Ian Munro shredding a school. Apparently it was supposed to be a “paid for” exclusive edit on a site, but it got turned down because the riding wasn’t up to par.

I wasn't particularly keen on it anyway, but it's interesting that that's how sites are operating these days. Point of the web-edit's apparently been missed?

Make that 3...

Robin Fenlon (Namedrop?) sent me a message to say that not only were Vinnie and Jason victims of frame death, but Orchid's newest rider Mr. Shaun "Finally got sponsored" Hadlington snapped his frame at NASS too. People need to start making stronger stuff again! Like Chris Harrison said in his interview with Mark Noble:

"I honestly think that at the moment, anything below four and a half pounds is a bit ridiculous for what is being marketed as a street frame or even a semi-robust frame for everyday usage. Maybe frames will become disposable like skateboards where people only expect them to last a few months before switching it up for the latest thing? I certainly hope not though. The consumer is to blame in a sense, as they are ultimately demanding lighter parts, and then companies obviously answer this demand and end up producing three and a half pound frames that are not fit for purpose. I think as an industry we have a responsibility by the rider to educate them and to make sure they are aware of the limitations of frame design. It's better than letting a consumer buy a badly designed frame and have them find out the hard way through personal injury."

NASS.

Just saw this over on Streetphire. Only posting it because it contains Mute, which instantly makes it awesome. Other than that, it's basically exactly the same as every other park contest footage you've ever seen, and pretty much will ever see. Stock.
