No time!

Pretty short on time, so here's a quick infoburst from the past few:

This Federal video, like most Federal videos, is very good.



Here are the edits from The Make/Mutiny trip that went down recently. Coverage is in the new Ride UK if you want to know more. Oh, and get well soon Roey!





Vans and Cult also did a trip recently, and here's their video.



Mike Escamilla has been there, done that, and received a plethora of T-shirts over the years. This is his latest video part, and if - like me - you were initially a little skeptical about how much you really wanted to watch it, it's definitely worth clicking over to and checking out. Some rad stuff in it! Click 'ere maaaaate.

Contrasts, again.

Yet another post of contrasts. Firstly, shiny, slidey, sunny American street compared to the grim UK version, courtesy of Chase Dehart and The Make's Josh Roberts.





As a bonus Make video, here's The Count's section from Rain Dogs:



Continuing the weirdness that is The Pool, here's episode 2:



Odyssey have posted up some Tom Dugan photos which also led to me remembering this gem:



Defgrip have got an edit up by Devon Hutchins of Chase Hawk and Aaron Ross doing things very easily. Click here for that.

Lastly, new Dig ahoy!

Cool Video Tuesday?

It just doesn't have that same ring to it, but hey ho, cool videos are cool videos.

As a bit of serious business first, I've had a couple of people ask me if Dan's alright - as some of you may know, there've been some pretty serious earthquakes over in Christchurch in NZ where Dan's living these days. We got a call at about 3am saying that he's alright and his friends are all safe too, so that's all good to hear.

SRS BZNZ aside, here's some more up-beat stuff. Dakota Roche is an animal. In case the massiv array of logos doesn't give it away, he's also got the hook-up from Monster. He's also got pop!



Next up are a couple of "Exclusives" - some pretty entertaining comments in the chat section for The Make Winter 2011 video that appeared on TheComeUp yesterday. Some awesome riding from some super good but pretty under the radar people. Always a nice combo.

This is a bit of a contrast in many ways but not in a bad way. Chris Childs over on Defgrip.

And as yet another contrast - although mainly to the whole of the BMX scene these days - here's Mike Brennan from DQYDJ2, thanks to Animal.

Zzz.

This is really, really good, and I'm now going to bed. TheMake are doing it right.



Go and check out the Make site now, some awesome stuff on there. I don't think you'd find "Jeff has decided to leave to go and ride for Eastern…. Maybe Eastern is a lot cooler in America than it is in England!" on any other company's website...

The Count.

My summer in Newcastle last year was awesome for a variety of reasons - one of those reasons being The Count. Rad dude, funny as hell to be around but capable of dropping hammers as and when it's required. This is a vid he's put together of spare footage left over from the summer.



Rinsed from Streetphire!

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:

Coincidence...

I was thinking a night or two ago how I hadn't seen Charlie Don't Surf for ages, and contemplated banging it in my DVD player until I decided that I didn't really want to watch it at that particularly point purely because of how much I want to move back to Newcastle every time I see it... Anyways, here's the first couple of sections from it. The video builds up really well, so stay tuned for the last couple of sections. Most definitely worth it.





Mentioned the Berrics inspired 'text in' thing that Ride are running - I haven't watched these because I'm in a bit of a rush and really have better things to do right now, but they might be entertaining. The Berrics version usually is, mainly due to the editing of them, so I guess these might be...





I would very much like to ride the spot in the first section of this video.

Lastly, Chicken rules. Anyone who's been to a P5 jam will know this, but still - he's amazing.



Actually, that wasn't lastly - I mentioned last week (I think?) about Mutiny getting Rich Wilson to do an edit for them. Turns out that edit was of Safe Nath, who appears to not be scared of going fast, and have a good rollback and toboggan. All good!

Chris Lee

The Count is one of a kind. Nuts dude, friendly as hell, incredibly good at riding. He is fully not scared. I've seen some of his clips for the up-coming Make DVD, and he's dropped some nuts stuff up in Newcastle. This is his section from Dry Spell - I really hope that Newrick uploads Charlie Don't Surf some time soon (Seeing as he's sold out of copies of it anyway), purely 'cos the Count has some insane clips in there too. The world needs to know how good Chris Lee is.
