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.

Kill the line.

Trailer #2. Helmet cam and big trails = aaaawesome?



Range Of Motion's street session's hit days 7 and 8, and now hit the internet:



The new B-Team DVD should be out soon. To quote Grindmasterflash over on TCU:

This video will only be avalable in vhs and you have to pay for it with pegs.
Oh and if you play it backwards you can hear ralph listing every grind he has ever done.



This dude rides for Federal, and, like all the rest of their team, is really, really good.

Stay of Motion?

The Making of Stay Fit 2 is now up:



But what I'm more interested in is Range of Motion from Ride US. Here's Day 5 and 6 of their street dawg sessions:

Generic one word title goes here.

So, yeah... bearing in mind this is all 'scrap' footage, think of how I-should-probably-swear-here good this video is going to be? I mean, just check out that loading bay session?





Week after ankle merkage: back on it.



Tom Bright is a rad dude, and I'm not just saying that because of the high likelyhood of me riding with him tomorrow. This is part 2 of Dry Spell - I posted Scotty T's part a few days ago. Bear in mind that Tom split his time between racking himself on those hippy hops and filming and editing the video - multi-tasking: it's not just for girls.

Theft.

Not only did I steal Dino's soul, but I'm also stealing some content from Ride US! First up is their 6th Range Of Motion video. One of the best things about roadtrips is messing people around when they're asleep. It literally never gets old, and even if you're the butt of the joke, you know it's only a matter of time 'til someone succumbs and you can get vicious revenge...



Secondly, X-Games (Or "X-Gaymes" to be message-board-fashionable) - practise makes perfect!

Debatable.

First up is a video by Miles Rogoish of the Worlds. Can see how it'd be annoying for someone to not wear a helmet after being told, but getting "The Heavies" out to try and lay down the law seems ridiculous. Otherwise, some awesome riding!


Go to BNQT for more videos.


Seeeeecondly, this features the best skater snake I've seen in some time, and bearing in mind I live right next to a busy skatepark now, that's saying something. I like to think of that as being part of the justice I still need to hand out to the skaters at a certain concrete skatepark in London. Snaked 4 times riding the bowl once. Do one!



Thirdly, this is Day 4 of the Range Of Motion videos. Posted up about this before, here's the continuation.

Catch-up.

Dig put up another cool Refresh edit yesterday, some "Solid riding", as they say.




Chris Harrison's got a cool little "Rapid Response" thing over on Dig too.

I didn't really realise just how big the Fly team is, but yeah, pretty big! This is a cool edit of their whole crew riding the Worlds. Kevin K should've won the spine comp purely for dropping out the coping tyre slide thing, Taj style. I love those!



The controversial Mutant Bike company have another 'new idea' out, the peguard. Essentially, a peg with a built-in guard that appears to have a few flaws. The reasoning they give on the site such as "Hub guards are not simple to assemble and too large for its functionally" (Really? How?) and so on seems pretty debatable, and I'm fairly sure the lack of compatibility, limiting it's lifespan by having one point to grind on (Not the only peg like that, I know, but that doesn't make it good) and having a guard that could potentially bend upwards into the hub/spokes doesn't really count in it's favour either. I'm just still amazed that they're planning on releasing that frame with that seatpost setup (Apologies to the anonymous commenter who was unhappy I only listed 5 bad points with it, apparently that's not 'backing it up' enough)...



Don't get me wrong, some of their products are nice, but some of them just make no sense whatsoever.

RideUS are planning a follow-up to the awesomeness that was Insight, in the form of "Range Of Motion". To quote their release:
The Concept
Four riders who are well-rounded, able, and astounding on anything you put in front of them—Dennis Enarson, Tony Hamlin, Sergio Layos, and Dave Dillewaard.
Take those four riders on three trips focusing on each type of riding. Trip number one, a park trip up in the Great Northwest, has already gone down. A dirt trip up in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York is going on at this very moment. And a street trip along the California coast will go down about a month from now.
Now add in four more shredders on each trip that specialize, if you will, in what we’ll be riding that trip. Drew Bezanson, Simon Tabron, Darin Read, and newbie Ryan Wert went up to Oregon to ride cement. Cory Nastazio, Adam Baker, Mike “Hucker” Clark, and Luke Parslow are with us right now in the Northeast. And Aaron Ross, Garrett Reynolds, Sean Sexton, and Rob Wise will be with us in Cali.

...and this is a video from their first trails trip. Serious business!



Retribution have their Owl T's available now, and also have this Saturday Shenanigans video up. Controversial! They say they got it from an "Undisclosed location" but I'm fairly certain I know who made that...



Tony Watkinson rode for 20 minutes after the Worlds, and Mike King documented.





Morgan Wade has something to say, to quote the title of Ride's old Chase Hawk interview.

Random one, but Ani- er, I mean "A. Bike Co." have some wax out. Street dawg approved?



But for now, everyone needs to look below this post and check out again how insanely good those WTP completes are. My my!
