More PrettyShady headcam footage, and some rad transfers. Tip of the hat to Deluxe who brought this to my attention!
I genuinely couldn't care less about this side of things, but if you're a fan of soap operas and like to translate that mindset to BMX, here's the continuing Ben Wallace/Amity saga, this time from Amity's p.o.v.: Boring link.
Lastly, here's a TJD video that may appeal to more people than that previous link.

I can't think of a good one.
This video's getting posted here because even though it's a trailer for a web video, it features Adolfo, who many of you may already know or may sorta know from the Street Vs. Tweak jams of yesteryear, and also 'cos it features Modest Mouse. From FFWD.
FFWD also had this video of Lloyd up today, which is fairly ridiculous. Boy got skills.
Happened to check out the United site today too, and they've got a little post talking about Leo Forte's design site, which is here. I'm into art/design, so it was cool to see even though it contains a set of spiral stairs that I'm pretty sure would end my life, judging from my stair-walking-down success of late. Dead sailor...
I'd imagine that Leo Forte would probably be into this video as it features some trails - it's been pretty much everywhere already but that doesn't really lessen it's impact, in both a literal and figurative sense.
That video's by Pretty Shady who also posted up this video of great success on a different line. Those trails are beast, and wider-than-the-world Youtube embeds are pretty beast too. They've also given me a desire to watch the old Twenty vid of Alex Dropsy annihilating a set of trails filmed on a helmet cam, which is officially the (second) most ridiculous trails footage I've seen. So good, yet so hard to now find...
I wasn't particularly into this edit overall, but Caleb Quanbeck absolutely owns nose manuals, and in the hopes that watching it again might make me get even fractionally better at doing them I'm posting this. Monkey see, monkey do.
Very much lastly, 'cos it's officially riding time, here's an edit from Odyssey. Terry Adams makes his riding look as goofy as Aaron Ross's stance in this, but it's a fun video to watch and they both do some cool stuff, so give it a scope.
Yeah, I said "give it a scope". Mixing up the word-age, yo.

Top 10 things this week...
Well, I've got a laptop again, and therefore access to the Internet. As a result of missing a fair bit of Blog-updating-time due to a heady mix of loads of uni work and loads of computer hassles, I thought I'd just do a Top Ten list for things I thought were cool recently.
1. Micreation have been a firm favourite of mine ever since that Eli Platt web-vid. Everything they produce is generally pretty top qual', so it was cool to see they've got a DVD on the way. It would've been cool if Ian Schwartz had had a part (Seeing as he used to have a signature shirt 'n' all), but they've got Joe Cox and Brad Simms in there, so beggars can't be choosers. Here's the trailer:
2. Chris Doyle. Chris Doyle. Chris Doyle. Chris Doyle.
3. I've made a few friends in fairly unusual and pretty random situations due to BMX, and Josh is one of them. I really enjoy seeing new footage from him ('specially in Electronical), so it was cool to see this new video from Josh and Kyle.
In case you were wondering what he's riding, here's Josh's bike.
4. WTP winning Ride To Glory, and therefore going on the trip again next year.

5. Kink's new video. Since the Props 68 video came out, I've learnt to expect big things from Kink. Whereas they seemed to have a post-Jim C era lull, they're definitely back on it now with a rad team. As a direct result, their team video rules. Plenty of amazing riding from all kinds of people, and the best part is that it's all a mix of street, park and trails. Refreshing to see in the world of foot high ledges, XXXL t's and "gangsta" rap on repeat. This is unrelated, but here's a new release from Kink. Buy their DVD, it's in the Shop!

6. Alex Liiv: 'nuff said.
7. Megatour8 trailer. The first Megatour that I might actually buy? Who can say!
8. This probably should've been number 1, so just imagine I swapped them round - RIDING! It feels so good to be out riding again after not being able to for quite a while. It definitely makes you appreciate any time you do get to have a roll around, so if you're just sitting at home bored and it's not raining, head out now and get some riding in!
9. Finding a PrettyShady video up. Good times! (For trails dudes, if you're that desperate to ride, Newport indoor park has a set of 2 fairly large, fairly steep jumpboxes in a row so it's almost like trails...)
10. I remembered seeing a video by Kevin Kiraly ages ago that I thought was pretty rad, and it seemed strange how he was so unknown, despite being incredibly good. Here's yet more proof.
