Round-up.

After a few days absence, here's a bit of a round-up of the things I thought were good this week:

May remember me saying earlier in the week: "Something that did come from TheComeUp is this - the intro to OSS "Football", and the first section by Mr. Rory Ellis. Tune! Very much looking forward to Craig Passero and Mastroni's sections in that." Well, here is Craig Passero's section, and it lived up to my expectations!



George Marshall is one of the best BMX photographers in the UK (if not the world, to be fair), and so it's always good to see new content from him - this time over on Defgrip.

A couple of pieces I spotted on Facebook again - firstly a couple of videos linked up by WTP's loose cannon in London Tim Lewis. Both of these videos are edited by Mr. Consistent, Duncan Lloyd, and feature some cool riding from a variety of known and lesser known London names, as well as a section from Merlin. Rad dudes the lot of 'em.





Dyno posted this up too advertising KISBikeCo's - who Dyno's been riding for for a while now - latest frame, the Spark.

Back to more people-I-don't-know based stuff - Floyd, one of Cult's team riders, put up this edit earlier in the week. Pretty cool edit!



Speaking of cool edits, Tom Davis is getting pretty serious these days.



I hadn't really seen much of Kyle Hart's riding before, but just knew he was a pretty loose dude. Turns out he's got the skills too, though. Nollie 5 and oppo 3 rail hops = choice.



Lastly, as I sit here listening to the rain smashing into my window, here's a bit of a Q&A with Bas Keep who's currently living it up in Austin, Texas. Click here to read that, then lurk the Twitter feed embedded in the page to see things like this photo Dakota Roche posted up to show the winter they're dealing with over in Cali. Jealous...

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.

FTP = FML

Man, uploading large files is pretty much the least fun ever. If this times out, heads will roll.

In total contrast, the Euro trip that Lloyd has been on with Kink seems like it's both been going on since time began, but is also a load of fun.

Speaking of - saw this video today, and the intro alone made it worth sharing with others. The riding's pretty sweet too, but the intro... well... you'll see. In bonus news, this also features the not-really-new-but-new-to-me skatepark in Hereford. The older one was a wooden beaut complete with a BMX race track that made Chandlers Ford seem like some kind of Olympic facility. New park looks 'reet good laaaaaaaark' to quote the Northerners up here.



Will Evans wins.

Danny Hickerson also wins, as does his section from Grounded. This is part 3, the rest are floating about if you're particularly keen on watching it. I still can't believe that rip-off Yeah Right section. Poor form.



Lastly, and somewhat making this a bit of a "People I've met a while back who were pretty good who are now really, really good" double header with the Lloyd content above, Tom Davis is a bit good. Filmed over 2 days in Coventry, then sorta just let loose to the public, there's some good bits 'n' bobs here, which also reminded me that Coventry is a bit of a treat in terms of stuff to ride.



Actually, this is lastly. A friend of mine showed me this video today without telling me who it was. Turns out it's a bit older but I just glossed over it before 'cos I wasn't really massively into what I thought was the way Zack Gerber rides. Turns out there's been a fair bit of development of both style and riding. This is awesome.

Forgot to put a title on.

I first met Tom Davis at a P5 jam in Leicester. I didn't know who he was, and in a write-up I did for S43 I just called him Chase Dehart in lieu of his real name. He did some rad stuff at that jam, has put out some cool videos, and this is his latest one. It's a bit OTT on the post production for my liking, but horses for courses, as they say.



The latest installment of "The Making Of Stay Fit" is up courtesy of Kuwahara, this time featuring Chase "Dems some tabez" Hawk.



Lotek's latest attempt at foot coverers is a "collab" with Shadow as Chase Dehart's signature shoe. Click here to check that out.

DUB have decided to cut back on their coke and weed budget to further their camera budget, resulting in a shiny new HD cam. As a result, here's some SD footage to use it up. To quote Props, remember these are trained professionals in controlled circumstances...
