Contrast?

In a week filled with news about the X-Games, here comes Ruben showcasing the other, awesome side of riding:



You just can't really beat that style.

Speaking of, not really anything style-wise in here, but these tricks are ridiculous. Stevie Churchill is pretty nuts. Bonus fact: That skatepark looks almost like my idea of a living hell. If you added a couple more scooter kids in there, you'd nail it.



Cult and Federal are doing a joint UK tour soon, check out the details here, then think about how nuts that line up is.

Seeing as it's sort of related, here's a video of Bruno riding a prefab park pretty damn well.



Lastly, Dan posted this up on Facebook today - pretty old school now, and how many of these people even live in Southampton any more? Cool video regardless.

Shoulders: What's the point?

Shoulders suck. Just sayin'.

Moving swiftly on: Stevie Churchill definitely doesn't suck. You need to check that hop 3 whip at the end. Clickity click.



Rinsed from Defgrip who rinsed it from Volume.

Whilst on a lurking session avoiding the fact I wasn't able to go out riding, I had a bit of a mooch around the Props website where they've got a pretty interesting feature on Filming boards. A bit different to the usual BMX-web-content, and quite interesting if you're into your filming. Even if you're not, click that link then just go explore their site - there's a boatload of content on there you might not have seen before, and some stuff you will have seen before but which is still good, e.g. this Tom Dugan "Setup" video I posted a while back.



Scott Ditchburn and Miles Rogoish are now officially 'pro' in a skateboarding sense, being as both now have a signature frame from Subrosa. There's details of both their frames over on Subrosa's site.

Is Matt Priest the UK version of Mike Aitken (Or "UK-tken" for short)? Goof, trails style, manny skills, etc.? Seems so...
