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:

Zzz.

I'm really, really tired, so apologies if this doesn't have the usual zing...

Eric Lichtenburger had a stand-out part in Sunday's DVD, and has had a few sweet webvids out - this newest one, for Lotek, is in a similar vein. Observe:



I haven't been able to ride for 2 weeks now due to the weather, and yet more snow last night hasn't really helped in that respect. If only I lived near Ray's park in the US - especially with their new Rhythm Room. That looks sweeeet!

Ride UK had some cool stuff up today, first off is this Harry Main bikecheck:



And secondly is this 'wwwin' comp for a United Mothership frame. Click Here to enter!

T-1 have been pumping out Freaky Friday posts for a while now, and here's the culmination of that effort - the Freaky Friday 'zine. Read it and not necessarily weep, 'cos it's good.

In other 'zine news, Defgrip informed me today that Holeshot #6 is out now, so if you're into it, go buy it!

Haven't had a chance to watch this fully yet so apologies if it's not what you're after, you can't win 'em all. From Repset!



Posted this last week, but Scotty T's bars to manny to 180 and Newrick's various trickery make it worth posting again while it's reasonably fresh. I miss Newcastle.



And according to my lack of open Firefox tabs, I've pretty much covered everything I was going to. I'm now going to go home and bleed the radiators in our house not just because I can't ride and have fun, but also because waking up with ice on the inside of your windows sucks.

Winter: Do one.

Dry Spell.

I'm ironically posting this having just got dropped off at home after a Wasteland session got rained off - Tom Bright is uploading Dry Spell to share it with the world. The video's got a good mix of Newcastle riders and friends in, but isn't available any more. Regardless, here's the first section, featuring Scott Taylor. Scott is probably the most dialled rider I've ever met. Everything's done first go and everything's flawless.



Just as another example of the elite - check out Scott's last line in this video. What?

Diversity.

So, the X-Games are in full swing. Check out Ride US's street qualifying video here, purely so you can see what some riders did and still didn't qualify, and also to see Garrett Reynolds do everything that everyone else did, but with either an additional 180° of spin, or with one more barspin (Or both).



They've got a park vid up too, but the music's utterly terrible, and it's the typical X-Games park routine, despite having an amazing course.

What isn't a terrible video though is the Let's Get Mystical trailer by Mutiny. Go here to read up about it. Sounds like it should be a pretty sweet video, and because they're hyping it at the end of it's production life it means less waiting too!

Now on Vimeo:

In complete contrast to that Mutiny trailer, here's a different video...

EDIT - Which fully doesn't work?!


I shot a few photos of Scott Taylor yesterday for a bikecheck + riding photos thing for the Federal site. Click here to see his bike, and some surprisingly high tricks considering how hard those things are to ride...
