A Day Out At The Pool

I probably don't have to tell you what an awesome job Nike have done with The Pool. No doubt you have seen all the videos and pictures circulating on the interweb lately.

We were lucky enough to get a whole day of The Pool to ourselves, so staff, team and some friends headed up for a chill session. The main objective was for everyone to have fun, so photos and filming had no priority. The day ended with smiles all round and objective achieved.

Thanks to Nike for a great day!

Inspiration...

It was weird - last week, I just didn't really get that vibe off anything I really saw online. Not too sure why, but this week's certainly different. To kick it off, here's the 'final' video of The Pool jam. Pretty good effort by everyone involved, this video sort of sums it up better than most others did!



Craig Passero is really getting too good now, considering he's still relatively unheard of for the masses. That feeble to nose bonk/manual 360 thing is ridiculous.



I spotted this earlier on via Mutiny, as it features a couple of dudes from their team - notably Robbo who's responsible for all this:



Defgrip, as ever, are continuing to pump out quality content, this time featuring the lesser-spotted Wolfman. Apparently even his relatively simple views are still contentious enough for the BMX world, c'est la vie... Much respect to anyone holding down a job that time-consuming/energy-sapping and still getting out riding. Makes me feel that much more of a pussy if I drop out the "Oh, I'm a bit tired tonight..." after the ol' 9-5. Click here for that.

Lastly, Streetphire is all shiny and new. If you're friends with me on Facebook and were wondering why I was liking and disliking Streetphire-related stuff, it was all in the name of H-Man's progress. So there...

Do this immediately.

Go here and check out some awesome photos from The Pool. Not really any riding photos, but they give more of a feeling of being there than anything I've seen so far. Nuno's got a great eye for things, so yeah, treats galore. Click click click!

The Pool.

Been waiting for a couple of days for a video to post of this instead of just putting results up, and here it is courtesy of Ride US.



Chase Hawk certainly got the point!

EDIT: Belm. Full results here.

Wait, what?

"Odyssey "Thunderbolt" cranks"? Eh? Details, details....

Dig posted this up today from The Pool. Oh, Ruben...



Lastly, some awesome riding on some not-so-awesome spots.

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!
