Winners.

So, Ben Lewis. Dayum. This video's been floating around on many people's Facebook pages today, a pretty ridiculous Baker's Dozen. I haven't really been that into some of the ones so far, but this one was awesome throughout. Give it a watch, some pretty different, creative and more importantly new stuff in there.

Speaking of, you could also use all of those adjectives to summarise Shane Weston, who's now on Eclat pro.



Lastly, BSD got awesome in Austin - Kriss Kyle appears to be pretty handy with the ol' rails these days?



Something that isn't 'new' is Will Jackson's sponsorship on WTP, although this trailer for his new video is...



This is also new, at least to me/the internet - Greg D'amico is a name I've heard of before but couldn't really remember seeing his riding. This is pretty sweet though. I sort of really want to try jumping through a swing now.

Stuffs.

I keep forgetting the tags, I'm a bad person. You may also note that this is the first time I haven't posted during the am period of the day - I'm reforming!

Either way, Ashley Charles footage = Good. Will Jackson footage = Good. (ACxWJ) = G^2. WTP Videorama!

Winners. Also, for posterity (And almost purely for the fact it features Ashley Charles riding "Ashley Charles"), Ash's own Videorama. In related news, I also got to ride for the first time today in a fairly long time, and I can confirm that the Ashley frame is awesome.

My friend/Your friend/Our friend/Everybody's friend James Smith has taken time out from his hectic S43 updating and porn watching schedule to create a new clothing line, 1 of 50. All the T's are hand screen-printed at James' house (Parents must be pleased), and feature original designs. First person to say that the South Bank T isn't an "Original design" because it features logos made by South Bank gets a "Stop being so pedantic" and "Haven't you ever heard of postmodernism?" double-hit combo. Anyway, click here to check out his Big Cartel store. £5er for a hand-made T-shirt? Winner.



While we're talking clothing - Streetphire have an interview up with Ian Gunner, owner of Segment. It features a better insight into the company than any other interview I've seen, even if I don't particularly agree with the following quote, regarding T-shirt and hoodie price:

I think the £20 and £40 tags are a reasonable price, as they dont ask too much for the product, yet they allow me to sell to retailers, and offer a good margin. Stores can buy my product at a trade price and still make over 100% margin and sell them at 20 and 40, that is always a key point in pricing every item [tee, hood, hat etc].

I still don't really get the whole "Shops must have a 100% margin" aspect, and I don't really understand why it's gotta be that a standard T-shirt with a relatively basic design on it should cost £20, but maybe that's why I'm not a giant clothing mogul or anything like that. BMX is a large part of my life, and in some ways I'd like to help companies out by buying their products and supporting the cause, but when it's £20 for a t-shirt it makes life a little hard. No VAT reduction either, tsk tsk... Either way, read it for yourselves and make your own minds up I guess.
