Here and there.

Some old, some new, mostly cool.

Speaking of - an old part from your new favourite rider, which happens to be pretty cool. Definitely one of my favourite Safety First parts - Albert Mercado. Seeing as it's also up, Lil Jon and Landon Anderson's split part, although I was never really as keen on it. The banger for that part is bangin' though!





While we're talking Kink - Darryl Tocco has been someone I've always looked out for footage of since I first saw Insight. He's been riding for Osiris for a while now, and this is an edit he put together for them.



Another guy on Osiris is the ever-changing Josh Betley. Rad dude and pretty handy on a bike too, no matter how many pegs he's got or how high his seat happens to be...



Cologne is also good, and as a bonus fact that spot with the double set with the weird raised sections was the place where I did the best thing I've ever done on a BMX. A fairly odd statement to make, but I was genuinely surprised I pulled it, and it capped off an awesome trip. Taliban has the footage, or used to, but I somehow doubt it'll ever see the light of day. Still, that's life.

And on that slightly odd, awkward note, I'm off. Tatty bye bye.

Questions...

Russia have their own Adidas team?



Why are Mumford & Sons so popular despite all their songs being totally identical and frighteningly bland? It's the musical equivalent of every frame coming out exclusively in beige... Anyway, Joris Coulomb is really good, although the auto-refresh that page seems to do meant I had to watch that video twice to see it all. Not cool.

How is David Grant physically possible?



What does Josh Shaw say at the beginning of this Mix section from Safety First?



Is Nathan Williams suicidal?



How awesomely well made do these ramps look? Compare that to any indoor in the UK...

A break from the norm...

Generally, I find out product news from lurking a few sites (BMXFeed, TCU, and so on), so it was a bit of a break from the norm when I found out that the shop has the new Kink video, Safety First, in stock via a Myspazz bulletin from Carlos.

Either way, how I found that out is irrelevant - what is relevant is that that video's going to be awesome (Doyle, Tocco, Sexton, Badger, Dirty Dan - to name but 5 reasons why...), and it's available now. Trailer park:
