Tunney vision?

It's almost a Tunney Tuesday (although it isn't in that this was all posted on Monday, I'm just posting it on a Tuesday 'cos I had loads to do today) - Defgrip got together with ex-Dig/current-ESPN writer, rider and general font of knowledge Brian Tunney to create one of the more interesting BMX-related interviews I've read online. Click here to read through it, here for Brian's 'personal' site, and here for his predictions for 2011. There aren't that many people out there who have been as involved in all levels of BMX as Tunney has over such a sustained period of time, so it gives things a little more depth and interest compared to the usual lashed together Q&A type stuff with whoever happens to be flavour of the month that appears on various sites from time to time.

Ever since I first got linked to an old episode of Buttery Ass Mondays I've been pretty much hooked on TheBerrics, so it's interesting to see a video from Cult filmed in there. It's weird not seeing the setup being filmed in the usual Berrics style, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Some cool lines go down and everyone appears to be having a fun time which is what it's all about. Seeing a car/van full of 'big name pros' getting so visibly excited about going and riding somewhere is good to see, at least they're appreciating the opportunity!



One person who very much appreciated the benefits of being a 'pro' rider - to the extent where he stepped down from the pro team as he apparently didn't feel able to live up to his side of things due to his study commitments (you can read an interview with him here about it, and also get to see a super nice photo of a rail-ride to whip) - was and is Eli Platt, who's section from the Into The Void video went up today. He's also got some choice clips in Anthem II, don'tcha know.

Some things.

Kink have some new stuff coming out, incl. a signature Tony Hamlin frame, a sig. Sean Sexton Pivotal seat and some new other bits 'n' bobs. Go here to see them.

Couple of bits from Interbike, firstly Clicked's "Top 3's":



Secondly, Tunney's opinion of things - speaking of, should be interesting seeing how all the millions of smaller, distributor-with-a-different-name brands work out. I didn't really think there was enough money around to do that kinda thing, but we'll see...

Hideout have a new video out that makes the current rainy autumn/winter action seem even worse...



Scott Marceau took some sequences of the guys riding for the new OSS video, so if you want to watch a sort of jittery, silent version of some of the lines in the video, here you are:

BangBangBang

I've got to be up in 7 1/2 hours for work, so this is going to be rapido.

FBM have joined in the "Check out our 2011 completes!" game with their latest selection. Click the big shiny FBM link back there to check 'em out.

This is 2 weeks old but I must've missed it first time round - not second time round thanks to Tunney.



Fair play.

Ben Hittle can do no wrong. Even when he rides park he makes park look awesome.



...and with that, I'm gone. Click the 'Ben Hittle' tag below to check out other stuff he's been in - style for miles and creativity for... something that sort of rhymes with creativity and implies a lot.

Your name here.

I posted the London section from One More Brew up a while back, but after some negative comments Ollie decided to let the terrorists win and take down the video. Dario's section has been uploaded too, and appears to be here to stay so hopefully this won't lead to a confusing post where there's a big 'Video not available' in it...



Tunney put up a "Ten Reasons You Should Pay Attention To Flatland" (with the 11th presumably being "Because Red Bull's money says you should", judging from the exclusively Red Bull photos in there) feature, click here to see if you agree.

Cult are keeping themselves in the media spotlight with this Chase Dehart edit. Only short, but that last combo's sweet. Cult seem to be going at the PR thing in a fairly pro, skateboarding-esque way. More power to them, I guess...



Now for two things that are completely different - a pretty cool interview with Sandy Carson (That I saw over on United), and this cool old school photo feature that I saw over on Volume.
