Here's a peek at the new 2012 United range of bikes. Not in stock yet, but should be in store around the 23rd June!

Changes.
In full holiday mode now, woke up about an hour ago. Body clock like whaaaat...
Anyway - as I mentioned a week or two ago (when I also mentioned that I was going to do an Anthem 2 review (which I still intend to do, but need to watch it again before I can (and it's currently at my house in Blackpool (and I'm currently in Wales)))) Sean Burns is pretty out of hand. It still seems weird to talk about a Sean Burns web-edit, but I guess if you want to ride for a living your sponsors who don't really 'get' it are going to have some demands you'll have to live up to. Anyway, here's another Osiris edit. Ridiculous.
If you in any way like that video, you should definitely give the shop a call and grab yourself a copy of Anthem 2. So much good stuff in there, and his section's like the icing on an amazing tasty, diverse cake. I know that 'diverse cake' doesn't exactly sound like a good or appetizing thing, but it is.
Because months ago this was an exclusive, I don't know if this embed code's going to lead to anything once I hit the 'publish' button. Hopefully it will, but if there's not a triumph of hope over experience then you'll need to head over to United's website to check out the TCU x TIU edit they've just re-uploaded. They've been putting up some visual treats over the holidays anyway, so it may be worth you while clicking that link and having a lurk even if this embedding shenanigans works...
Speaking of cool bike companies re-uploading good videos, Mutiny have done exactly the same which allows you to go check out LGM, the Dunkerque videos, and all their other rad edits from this year. Essentially, the point I'm trying to make is that the weather sucks, it's the 28th December, you probably don't have much to do so you might as well stoke up some weather-directed anger at not being able to ride by watching some inspiring videos.
This comes with the new issue of Ride UK (which is worth buying), and being a fan of 'zine-type stuff I'm obviously a fan of this. It's just good, and it's also free. If I was Nigel Sylvester I'd probably end that with "You feel me?" or something, but I can pull that off even less than I can pull off asking for a 'barm cake' now I live up North. So I won't.

End of an era?
Might be reading into this a little, but is Banners leaving the editors role at Ride?
We'll see, I guess...
More Millsy footage again, from yet more Federal content. All good!
Being the Ying to Seventies Yang, here's 4Down's video promoting Corey Martinez new frame, the Beacon.
Lastly, Vocal is the latest parts company to spring up from a distro, this time from Scoop. Product info on their site...

Snooze you lose.
Well, missed out 2 days of posting stuff and totally forgot everything I wanted to post. Failing.
This is the end of the Sun-Ringle roadtrip footage milk-a-thon that's been going on. Pretty good stuff in there.
FBM are also purveyors of good stuff, and to celebrate the launch of Anthem II they've launched a Ltd. Ed. frame. Click here for more.
United's roadtrip video from Canada is also pretty much out - here's the trailer for that.
Lastly, HoleShot 8 is out - more info on that here!

Video overload!
Coupla bits.
3rd in the Nike comp went to the USA:
2nd went to the UK.
No pressure on the winners to justify it then, haha.
Shadow have gone on a trip recently.
United's video is going to be rad:
Vinyl have put up a cool edit of Timmy Theus:
ESPN have also put up a cool edit, but this one's of Trey Jones.
Think that's about it. 4 minute blog explosion!

Zzz.
I'm really, really tired, so apologies if this doesn't have the usual zing...
Eric Lichtenburger had a stand-out part in Sunday's DVD, and has had a few sweet webvids out - this newest one, for Lotek, is in a similar vein. Observe:
I haven't been able to ride for 2 weeks now due to the weather, and yet more snow last night hasn't really helped in that respect. If only I lived near Ray's park in the US - especially with their new Rhythm Room. That looks sweeeet!
Ride UK had some cool stuff up today, first off is this Harry Main bikecheck:
And secondly is this 'wwwin' comp for a United Mothership frame. Click Here to enter!
T-1 have been pumping out Freaky Friday posts for a while now, and here's the culmination of that effort - the Freaky Friday 'zine. Read it and not necessarily weep, 'cos it's good.
In other 'zine news, Defgrip informed me today that Holeshot #6 is out now, so if you're into it, go buy it!
Haven't had a chance to watch this fully yet so apologies if it's not what you're after, you can't win 'em all. From Repset!
Posted this last week, but Scotty T's bars to manny to 180 and Newrick's various trickery make it worth posting again while it's reasonably fresh. I miss Newcastle.
And according to my lack of open Firefox tabs, I've pretty much covered everything I was going to. I'm now going to go home and bleed the radiators in our house not just because I can't ride and have fun, but also because waking up with ice on the inside of your windows sucks.
Winter: Do one.

United completes.

Yet more Nathan Williams...
Might remember the Nathan Williams bikecheck I linked to before? Well, Dig have now made it official, so if you want to see a slightly expanded spec list with the same photo, go there...
Thursday, July 09, 2009
So yeah... Pt. 2
But in other news...
Lightsinthewoods have a new video out that I saw over on Deluxe:
DansComp have a new site up, Dans360 - on it, they have bios for their (loose term) 'Team', including Nathan Williams, who has a photo of his bike. He calls his frame the "United Mothership" - signature frame ahoy!
Nice to see a taller frame, especially from a "new school" rider. Just as a reminder of how and indeed why Nathan's awesome:
While we're talking American shops, Staff have a little video out featuring Garrett Reynolds, J.J. Palmiere and Ty "So hot right now" Morrow:

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.

24hrs in Ohio
Just spotted this on ESPN, definitely worth a look!
Also, the second Coxie On Tour video's up. Didn't post the first 'cos I refuse to post videos of people hitting jumpboxes the whole time (Yeah yeah, bad weather, I k now...), but this one fully delivers:
More BMX >>
This was up on Dig, and although it wasn't the Chicken I was hoping it'd be, the intro and pre-ender-ender make it worth a watch...

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...
