Checklist.

If you want to see, amongst other things, a cat drop in on a quarter, Mark Love drop the trademark back-rail fuf then oppo back-rail fuf, and Davey Watson do some sort of impossible manny-180 business, then this Federal Soulatour video is for you...



Federal aren't the only people who've been on a jaunt recently - Sunday have been at it too, up in Canada. Good riders + interesting spots = good video.

iPod cable.

Yep, named this post after the first thing I saw.

I'm pretty sure when all the 2011 completes come out from all the different companies involved in BMX, once at least one of all the different models of bike on the market get sold the current amount of bikes in the world will double, if not treble. I mean seriously, millions of bikes. Stepping up to the "Whoa there, that's enough" plate are Sunday and Diamondback. Sunday made a little embedded player, Diamondback didn't, so you can view the Sundays here but have to go to DB's site to view their's.



In "New stuff" news, Clicked have an exclusive...

Also in "New" news, the next issue of Cult is apparently out soon, although it seems to be going more down the 'corporate' (for want of a better word) route rather than the previous route (e.g. more photos of bike parts, less porn photos with "Grab ur pads, blow ur load" written over them).

In video news, Tom Davis is now on Sunday's UK team, and this is his obligatory 'welcome' video. S.Wales gets rinsed!



Another person in team switching news is Lil Jon, who's now on Kink Pro. Think I might've put this before, but smooth bowl riding = repeatable with no regrets on my side.



In complete contrast to these past two 'team business' videos is this BluntedAtheltics video.



I swear Tammy is actually Butlin's American brother...

Lastly, I've been sorta wanting to get a motorbike to mess around on for a while, and this video isn't helping that. Pretty artfag, but still, do want.

Brief.

If you wanna check out the new Sunday Third Wave frame, click around below:


View this at SundayBikes.com!


Nathan Williams is ridiculously good. The music in this video is ridiculously bad. Regardless, he does some rad tricks in it so it's definitely worth a watch, just maybe on mute? Saw this on Ride UK.



George Ramirez has been getting progressively better and better, and here's his latest vid - a Props ad for Fit.



Defgrip have been running a Nike 6.0 comp, and some entries are in. Some good stuff in there, go here to check out some cool artwork.

Well whaddaya know?

With my wireless plan I get 12am-9am free, and usually it's dog slow. Tonight, however, it's on fire!

Couple of quick vids before some sleep and the resume of the daily grind - first up, Part Two of Ian Schwartz's part in the Sunday video. Click his label for P1.


Ian Schwartz, Part 2 from SundayBikes.com



Lastly, this banger of an edit from Charlie Jobling of Mat Roe and Robbo. Those two can't actually ever have a bad edit between them - fact. So good! I mentioned liking the smaller things like little hip tweaks, well, Mat Roe has a bunch of cool ways of going over a spine. It's the little things...

Fun time.

Well, when snow means you can't ride your normal bike, but that doesn't mean you can't ride any type of bike. This thing rules! Front ski has suspension so it levels off a bit more when you're riding it, but means you can jump it and land a bit sketchy if you have to. Awesome.






I can't remember if I put it up before (I hope I did...), but Sunday have put up Part 1 of Ian Schwartz's section from Up, Up and Away. The second part is pure bangers, this is just pure tech. All good.


Ian Schwartz, Part 1 from SundayBikes.com



Lastly, TheComeUp has a new video from Chase Dehart, Randy Brown and others. The song is awful and the quality's not much better, but it's pretty much worth watching just for a bump 3 that Randy Brown does about 3/4 of the way in. Click here.

Webvid Day?

So, couple of videos up today. First off, Dakota Roche has banged out an edit at a park in the US of A for Cult. In related news, turns out the Cult 'zine is still going, which rules!



Ashley Charles quite often seems to get overlooked by people as he's not a big, in your face sponsored pro dude, but he's still ridiculously good. I mean, just watch this video. Winner. This was for Eclat.



UK street, aw yeah. This is a 'To Flat' edit from the P5/Dub street jam in London (although technically Scotty D doesn't really go 'to flat' on that ledge ride...), which features an ender that was featured as an ender for the old Carhartt jam from years ago. Still a ridiculous trick though, you really have to go there to get an idea of how gigantic that set is, and how bad the run-out is.



Put up a part from a video called 'Gotta Blast' a few days ago - turns out it was an old Shook video. Here's a few more bits from it:



Mentioned yesterday the news about Ian Schwartz GTFO of the BMX pro world. Adam from TheComeUp did a bit of a retrospective that has some of his old videos on it, click here to see that. This is his part from the Sunday video though. Too good.

Reconsider.

Ah, what am I saying - long live the blog!

Yet another of the most consistently awesome series of web-vids ever, Tuesdays With Miles. Seriously - so good! This time, in Salt Lake City. Winners.


Go to BNQT for more videos.


I never really feel qualified to say whether a trails video is good or not. They mostly seem to be the same series of kick-outs, just that some of them aren't in the trees. You do get some occasional stand-outs though (e.g. anything with Mulville, Dropsy, Aitken, Chase Hawk, etc.), so I'll leave this up to the public opinion as to how good this is:

Developments.

Odyssey have created some kind of new drive system, their "Socket drive" setup - currently specifically for flatland (Maybe not strong enough for street yet?), but we'll see I guess. Gotta be honest - more into the Tree Spline Drive sprockets, but who knows what the future holds?



ODYSSEYBMX.COM | DAILY WORD | DIRECT LINK


What you can be sure of in the future is that there's always going to be speculation, mis-information and drama. Adam over at TCU drew attention to this issue in the Vert section - be interesting to see what Fat Tony has to say to DMC's comments which he's so far ignored...

Sunday have another 'misc edit' up, this time for their Forumph bars:


FORUMPH BARS FROM SUNDAYBIKES.COM



A different kind of 'misc edit' this time - from Kink - an old ad with some early Safety First footage. That's a bangin' DVD!



Check out their Vimeo channel for more of their awesome web-videos, or click the "Kink" tag below!

Crikey.

Pretty much pulled a full-on ":-O" face throughout most of this video. I mean, that last trick... what? Awesome style!

1200.

New stuff time - firstly, the new Wave 3? Apparently so, according to TheComeUp. Seeing that tubing always reminds me how nice home-made crinkle-cut chips are...

Edit: According to Jim C, this is a prototype Funday with a different kind of toptube. Apparently that's not the only new feature on it.



Secondly, FBM have launched the rest of their 2010 completes - go here to see them. This is the Marauder, which looks sweeeeeet!

Zzz...

Holy moly, I am tired. But before I expire, Tom Arkus has an interview up by Vinyl about his Sunday hookup, and some other stuff. Words, people, riding:



Daniel Dhers dropped out a new trick - the "Cash Roll". He mentions in this video that he was happy he pulled it, and looks forward to doing it again. That definition of 'pulled' is pretty loose. Interesting how he describes learning to do the trick though - pretty stark contrast to learning new stuff on, say, street or trails...

Saturday, July 11, 2009

Man...

...I'm tired. Lesson: Don't start drinking early on an empty stomach, in a city you're not used to.

Anyways, before I crash out - Sunday have put out this edit for their Triumph bars. Could've abbreviated it to "Exactly like Slams, but a shade lighter", but hey ho. Some cool clips anyway, and it again gives me a chance to point out how awesome Ian Schwartz' section is on that DVD. Seriously, it's actually cut out seperate from the rest in it's own little .m4v video file so I can bust out the Nano and watch it wherever, whenever. Too good.



Chase Dehart has apparently found out that unlike me, he can actually wear a hat, and is now doing so. Equally, compared to his first media appearances, he's learnt to be a bit more outspoken. All good. Stay Fit #9:

New Ride UK, #130!

The new issue of Ride is out, #130. Saw the preview cover up on Mutiny's site.



TheComeUp appear to be hinting that Fremont is no more - no Fremont logo on Ian "Best section in the new Sunday video by a country mile, and makes it worth buying for his section alone" Schwartz' signature shoes, now out on Lotek?

Tuesday, July 07, 2009

Hello again.

Yeah, been a while. This weekend was full of riding, fun times and general merriment, none of which involved online things, so not much blog activitititititity.

A quick look at the BMX fashion forecast: Headbands are still in, and ETs are most definitely on their way in. Couple cut-off skinny jeans, a headband and an ET and you're set for this summer's look. Unrelated to that but related to the video - I've been so tempted to grab a hang-5er's rear peg before, but I knew that would happen. I'm too nice.



Tim tells me I've been overly harsh recently, so I'll try and tone it down.

Anyways, Luke Peeters (With 3 E's) is now on United, as is Boiski. However, Boiski didn't get a 'Welcome to the Team' edit - favouritism!



Apparently they have bios and stuff on the United site, but I didn't really care enough to find out. I'm sure 90% of the Internet's word is true enough.

Shadow have some new clothing out, go check it on their site in some flip-book somewhere (They're still not good - even Russ agrees!).

FBM inform me that Mickey Marshall is no longer riding for them, they have a new Exodus prototype (Ironically named - fair play for that!), and that people around the world are still willing to put the time in to make awesome birthday cakes:



For those of you who can't imagine what a crinkly tube looks like inside (Kinda like the outside, but inside), Sunday have the answer!

Shola have some proto fork photos up (In conjunction with Brucey/KHE? Who knows) - that logo's dangerously close to the edge of the bottom of the steerer tube bit? (Tech term.)



Dig have been utterly pounding the Facebook News Feed today, which happened to include this gem - the Tom Blyth Sturdy Wrists. Old Dig is rad, film is rad, Tom B is rad. Rad^3!

Dennis Enarson has a Day In The Life Of video up somewhere, but I have almost no idea where I watched it or even what player it was on. All I can remember is he lives pretty close to the Mexican border, enjoys eating Mexican food, had a shoulder surgery the day after the riding was filmed, and looks exactly like both of his parents. I suppose in a way that's all you need to know?

On my 'Quick last check!' BMX news scour, happened to stumble upon this video of Mark Mulville - always a pleasure, never a chore.

Busy Saturday?

Weird - weekends are usually dead for news! Anyways, here's some:

Taj has a "Now and Then" piece up on Dig. Talks a lot about his worse-than-I-thought-they-were back injuries - sounds like a pretty savage deal. Link!

New parts news! Federal and Subrosa this time - Federal have got all their new stuff in - check out how sweet the Twilight looks, and Subrosa have a 10° laid-back Pivotal post. Keen on this:



In other Seventies-ish news, Shadow have done an "X" with Streetphire for this video, and indeed interview.

Shadow X Streetphire Into The Void remix from Shadow Conspiracy on Vimeo.



You can also click here to watch the vid with H-Man's trademark background/pic integrated Vimeo thing business doohicky.

This is a pretty rad video of the Tattour thing that's going on:


Go to BNQT for more videos.


This is Alex Magallan's 'scrap' footage from the new Sunday. The theme of badly chosen songs for video parts certainly holds true in the real DVD itself.


BROUGHT TO YOU BY SUNDAY!

If you were wondering how to Stay Fit (Diet Pills, Dieting, Weight Loss - boosting that search engine optimisation, boom boom!), this is how, according to Dakota Roche:

Wednesday, May 20, 2009

Oh, and...

...Mike Taylor's scrap footage is up on the Sunday site. It's also up on here now, too.


BROUGHT TO YOU BY SUNDAY!

Regarding Sunday, some interesting comments in the Boxed Wine Fiasco column in Dig that are also pretty accurate.

In unrelated news, Levis have a Team mix up on their site, right here.

EDIT: Got the code.

Cheers to all the Southampton dudes who were out riding today, was cool to see P2 and everyone.

Relentless Energy - Matt Priest from Dave King on Vimeo.



Saw this on Dave King's Vimeo stream, think it's for Ride or Relentless or something. Anyway, it's cool.

EDIT: Yeah, from here.

If you want to see some fairly bold claims about Sunday video that aren't really justified, click here. I'd go so far as to say it's better than Electronical, slightly. I think most people who I've spoken to about Electronical have the same opinion as me, so assuming that's a global trend, you should all be able to work out what that would suggest the Sunday video was like. Ian Schwartz is by far and away the best thing about that video.

Late.

Took my sweet time, didn't I? Busy weekends and busy weekdays mean slow posts, apologies...

First up, three trails vids (?!). No doubt someone'll get uppity about calling the first video trails, but meh...


Go to BNQT for more videos.


Pretty rad video from Heath Pinter's jam.


Derelict BMX - March in 50 Frames Per Second from Dave King on Vimeo.

A new "check out my fancy camera" (joking...) video from Derelict.



There's a bit of trails in there, but it's Brian Frickin' Foster so that makes up for the lack of soil content in there.

In other "Sweet video" news:

This is Randy Taylor's part from a recent issue of Props that contains a lot of other awesome riding of this standard, and that you should definitely buy.


Randy Taylor Bio from Adrian Sogaray on Vimeo.

Equally, the new Props is out now, so go buy that here. I've posted the trailer for that before so you should have no doubts as to how awesome that one's gonna be. (In other shop related news, the new DUB video is out right here, as are the Kink seats I mentioned a few posts back.)

Notro kicked off a few days ago, and Garrett Reynolds surprisingly didn't win. He did, however, win best trick for the line you'll see at the end of the video. It's amazing how most US (I know it's Canadian...) comps still look identical to comps from years ago. Looking back at super old issues of Props, it's like nothing's changed (apart from the amount of spins/whips, I suppose), compared to street riding which is significantly different to what it was like 'back in the day'...

(EDIT: Ride's insane coding and "WHY DID YOU THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA?!" autoplay feature mean you're going to have to click this link. It's probably not worth it, unless you fast forward to the end to see Garrett...)

Part 2 of Jim C's interview with Mark Noble is up on ESPN, go read it!

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Video-tastic.

Sunday have produced a trailer for their new video, Up, Up & Away, and here it is:


BROUGHT TO YOU BY SUNDAY!

Bonus: There's a rad interview by Mark Noble with Jim Ciel... Cielen... over on ESPN that's well worth a read.

HideoutBMX have also put out a pretty substantial edit, and here that is:


HIDEOUT BMX from Enter the Treehouse on Vimeo.

.ffutS

In Harry Main style news, no sooner has Karl Poynter got a signature Sunday frame he's upped sticks and moved to Eastern? Whaaaaaaaaat?

Forgot to post this when I first saw it, but the latest On The Road vid from James Cox on the Ride* site is cool, and is also here:


More BMX >>


In hideously unrelated news, what? The world is crazy.

Lloyd's put another little diary-style day edit on Streetphire from the desolate streets of MK. No-hander -> manny -> bars being a personal favourite.


Untitled from lloyd wright on Vimeo.

Something awesome's in the pipeline regarding Lloyd too, but nothing more can be said at the moment.

Some of you might've seen Subrosa's Bash Bike before (Hit up their site for more, or search on here), and continuing in that 'bringing back old details' style, here's a random sample they had that Ryan and Kyle have been running:




Weird.

In other "New frame news", Chase Hawk's popular signature frame is having another revision, this time being converted to a more Dak-esque frame with narrower, but thicker, tubing, front triangle gussets, etc. - check out how thin the stays are. Pics from DevonHutchinsDotCom. And, indirectly, Fit.




*If I've got to put up with seeing a steamy-mirror picture of Thierry Henry every time I go on their site, it'd be a lot better if the ad didn't randomly open itself to it's full size then freeze, leading to accusations of "Are you gay? Why are you looking at a naked Thierry Henry?" when people walk into my room...
