Convenient.

Three people I like watching ride putting videos out on the same day? Ching.






Bonus fact: Pete's car does 666 miles on one tank of fuel.

Just to keep people happy:

1, 2, 3.

Irony Pt. 3423094234

Yeah, so it seems every time I say "Will update more", I leave it about a month? Unintentional unfortunately, but the real world got massively in the way for a fair time. Anyways, Pete Greaves and a trip to Newcastle made me realise what I was missing, and here's a video of Pete pointing out how he does things up there. So good. (That video was from Streetphire, but I've already linked to them once in the past paragraph so I'm not going to do it again. Sorry...)



Another awesome video, this one that I saw over on TheComeUp, was this beast. Pretty burly stuff, always good to see.

The ironic link between the two of those videos is Pete's call to vote, and the Conservative ad I just saw on the TheComeUp too. Comedy.

This is old but still good:



Something new that is also good is the Animal Cuts DVD that is really, really good. Go to the premiere, check it out, buy a copy, be amazed. An hour of bangers, and a bunch of people falling over on ice. Treats.

I've got eat some paella, edit my friend's video and get the hell ouuuutta here so that'll be all for now. I'd make some bold claim about frequency of updates, but... well... I've said all I need to say about that.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Saw this on the Orchid site earlier (For the record, 'Orchid' is the best name ever). Niki Croft is burly. Clickity.

Tunney posted up a pretty awesome video of Mat Hoffman from way back when - interestingly, from the first BMX VHS I ever bought. Worth your time, go to Props TV to check it out.

Here's the last two sections of For Those About To Peg, just to complete the series. Generally mixed reviews online, but that's pretty irrelevant. It's nice to have a video to look back on to remind you of good times you've had - I'd imagine it's not quite the same just having sour anonymous comments on a website to look back on. Who knows?





Cleggy posted up this cool video:

Odds and ends...

Firstly, you want to know what the new Aitken S4 looks like? Well, there you go.

Seems to be a bit of sour buzz between Davey Watson and Shola, but here's his part from their video. Bangers.



A friend of mine up here described their own riding style as 'functional', which is what I'd also describe Kym Grosser's as. You be the judge...



Sunderland repping - old school style with some rad moves. Peg tech consistency is unbelievable from these dudes. Wasteland shut down in full effect last summer...

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?

The kids need dropping off so this is the last niblet for today - Niki Croft rules.



From TheMake.

Ride UK day?

Meant to post these over the relevant days they came up on the site, but I've been busy either at work or being ill, so I've not really had much of a chance... Anyway, 2010 wallpapers, an awesome Photobooth with Benson and a Preview of their new issue (which features the third Informer I've had photos in with no photo credit, haha - in related news, it's of Pete Greaves who also has the riding photo for the Queens Banks article. No coverage for forever, then 2 articles in a month, steady progress).

There were a couple of videos I was going to watch today, but they were generally park based and after watching the pretty cool Range Of Motion at lunchtime I can't really handle watching anyone ride any more transitioned items for a day or two.

EDIT: I suck - here's a Mike Saavedra 'Day in the life' I got round to watching that was pretty cool. Dude has a nice car, and a hat my housemate would be fully in approval of.



Saw this over on Deluxe.

'Ford Purple Velvet Metallic'

Best colour ever, photos soon (even if 'metallic velvet' doesn't make sense)!

Everyone in this video rules, watch it:



Tip of the hat to Pete for that thumbnail, and also for slow-mo'ing himself dead sailoring that bars. So good. In other dead sailor news, I saw a kid at Stoke plaza yesterday dead sailor a 5-set on a skateboard. I was totally unaware that it was possible to dead sailor a skateboard and actually roll out of it, but fair play to that fashion victim.

Bit of Union to lighten the wintery mood? Just played some pool at lunchtime in our non-heated warehouse - trying to type this is a nightmare.



Ben Hucke had this web-edit come out recently for Sputnic - dece:



Laaaaastly, this section from the 2x4 video was one of my favourites - Randy Brown (spotted this on Orchid's site), ripping. So good.



Said it before, and I'll say it again - Orchid's player does the neatest embed code ever!

Une vidéo de bicyclette.

Seriously, give Ryan Elcock a beret and that's some proper French steez.



Consider that as one for all you park dudes out there too. Blog equality and all that.

If you want to hear a really elaborate way of saying "I used to ride Orchid, but now ride for Duffs", then click here.

At 0:30 in this video by Will Evans, why is Stefan Lantschner shooting photos?!



This is a video of a street jam:



If you're thinking to yourself "Hot damn, that looks sweet!" - you have the chance to get involved in one. THIS SUNDAY at 12pm meeting at mini Lloyds (aka Norwich Union hip) at Bristol, P5 are holding a jam. Seriously - this isn't even a case of "Be there or be square", it's a case of "Be there and have an awesome time or be... well, don't." Not quite as catchy, but it gets the point across.

Another day, another Dry Spell section - Pete Greaves this time, in a section of the video he edited himself. Big 'n' tall!

Pete Greaves Streetphire edit.

Pete Greaves decided to get up early today, head to Exi and the Wastelands, and film an OMD section - OK Manoeuvres at Dawn - for Streetphire.

3 bits of bonus info:
1. I live equidistantly (Word up?) between Exi and the Wasteland, they're both 5 minutes from my new place in Newcastle (Ching!).
2. Pete was the guy who won the Federal freecoaster comp a while back.
3. I'm also doing photos/words for Streetphire now I've moved up.
