I can't think of a good one.

This video's getting posted here because even though it's a trailer for a web video, it features Adolfo, who many of you may already know or may sorta know from the Street Vs. Tweak jams of yesteryear, and also 'cos it features Modest Mouse. From FFWD.



FFWD also had this video of Lloyd up today, which is fairly ridiculous. Boy got skills.



Happened to check out the United site today too, and they've got a little post talking about Leo Forte's design site, which is here. I'm into art/design, so it was cool to see even though it contains a set of spiral stairs that I'm pretty sure would end my life, judging from my stair-walking-down success of late. Dead sailor...

I'd imagine that Leo Forte would probably be into this video as it features some trails - it's been pretty much everywhere already but that doesn't really lessen it's impact, in both a literal and figurative sense.



That video's by Pretty Shady who also posted up this video of great success on a different line. Those trails are beast, and wider-than-the-world Youtube embeds are pretty beast too. They've also given me a desire to watch the old Twenty vid of Alex Dropsy annihilating a set of trails filmed on a helmet cam, which is officially the (second) most ridiculous trails footage I've seen. So good, yet so hard to now find...

I wasn't particularly into this edit overall, but Caleb Quanbeck absolutely owns nose manuals, and in the hopes that watching it again might make me get even fractionally better at doing them I'm posting this. Monkey see, monkey do.



Very much lastly, 'cos it's officially riding time, here's an edit from Odyssey. Terry Adams makes his riding look as goofy as Aaron Ross's stance in this, but it's a fun video to watch and they both do some cool stuff, so give it a scope.




Yeah, I said "give it a scope". Mixing up the word-age, yo.

Well, tonight I was the second coldest I've ever been, and again it was related to BMX (First was in Leeds, filming for the Lorenzo Reid edit that came out years ago). Rampworx, lots of people, and not much fun. I really can't deal with indoor parks at all. Who tries to learn footjam whips on flat in the middle of one of the busiest parts of the park, then sits at the bottom of a roll-in to catch their breath? Really? Anyway...

Yet another post about Cult - I boshed a link up to their website earlier, but failed to point out all their swanky new product up on there. The frames look/sound pretty rad, it'll be interesting to see how they ultimately turn out. Here's one of them:



On my not-particularly-often-used Blogger feed, I happened to spot a new post from Nick Ferreira about the new AM:PM video. Here's the trailer, video's out now (theoretically!):



How awesome is this? Pretty damn awesome, that's how awesome. But seriously - it's really good! Some style cues from the recent Carhartt edit by Rich Forne maybe? In any case, if you haven't ridden in a pair of Half Cabs you haven't lived.



No doubt if you're a trails rider it's probably a little thin on the ground inspiration-wise at the moment - not exactly ideal digging conditions I'd imagine (not that I'd know?). Dig have put up another Refresh edit, this time a trails feature. Feast your eyes...



I hate just ending posts because it's kinda poor form, but I don't really have any more to say.

Bye?

Vids, yo?

Not the first time I've used that title, that's for sure. But, videos is what we're dealing with here. First up, one from Dave King about 'Stoney's Wood'? Some guy's trails in any case - techidy tech.



Stay Fit is almost at an end. "Get Fat" soon?

Une vidéo de bicyclette.

Seriously, give Ryan Elcock a beret and that's some proper French steez.



Consider that as one for all you park dudes out there too. Blog equality and all that.

At 0:30 in this video by Will Evans, why is Stefan Lantschner shooting photos?!



This is a video of a street jam:



If you're thinking to yourself "Hot damn, that looks sweet!" - you have the chance to get involved in one. THIS SUNDAY at 12pm meeting at mini Lloyds (aka Norwich Union hip) at Bristol, P5 are holding a jam. Seriously - this isn't even a case of "Be there or be square", it's a case of "Be there and have an awesome time or be... well, don't." Not quite as catchy, but it gets the point across.

Another day, another Dry Spell section - Pete Greaves this time, in a section of the video he edited himself. Big 'n' tall!

Cause and effect.

Here's a video of George French riding Sheffield (Spotted on Ride.



Here's a video of Joe Cox riding (Amongst other places) Sheffield. Cause and effect?



Heard a few mixed reviews of Joe's section on TWW, but I'm fully keen. Bangers, bangers and more bangers. The dude's too good, and - as with everything on TWW - the sound track is awesome.

Entirely different kinda video now, ODI's team headed over to 'frisco for a session. Hefty. Ender.



Totally different, yet again, is this video from the Oakley Trails Championships thing. The unofficially kick-out comp still going on?



Yet more 2010 completes, this time it's Eastern.

Seeing as everyone else is doing it, Lotek have put the Mike Hoder web-video up for embedability (WORD UP) everywhere now, rather than just their own site (And Streetphire thanks to H-Man's 1337 skillz).

Ammunition.

Next time any trails riders started talking about how street is obsessed with looks and fashion, this is getting linked! Oh, and you can win some stuff too. RideUK.

Late.

Took my sweet time, didn't I? Busy weekends and busy weekdays mean slow posts, apologies...

First up, three trails vids (?!). No doubt someone'll get uppity about calling the first video trails, but meh...


Go to BNQT for more videos.


Pretty rad video from Heath Pinter's jam.


Derelict BMX - March in 50 Frames Per Second from Dave King on Vimeo.

A new "check out my fancy camera" (joking...) video from Derelict.



There's a bit of trails in there, but it's Brian Frickin' Foster so that makes up for the lack of soil content in there.

In other "Sweet video" news:

This is Randy Taylor's part from a recent issue of Props that contains a lot of other awesome riding of this standard, and that you should definitely buy.


Randy Taylor Bio from Adrian Sogaray on Vimeo.

Equally, the new Props is out now, so go buy that here. I've posted the trailer for that before so you should have no doubts as to how awesome that one's gonna be. (In other shop related news, the new DUB video is out right here, as are the Kink seats I mentioned a few posts back.)

Notro kicked off a few days ago, and Garrett Reynolds surprisingly didn't win. He did, however, win best trick for the line you'll see at the end of the video. It's amazing how most US (I know it's Canadian...) comps still look identical to comps from years ago. Looking back at super old issues of Props, it's like nothing's changed (apart from the amount of spins/whips, I suppose), compared to street riding which is significantly different to what it was like 'back in the day'...

(EDIT: Ride's insane coding and "WHY DID YOU THINK IT'D BE A GOOD IDEA?!" autoplay feature mean you're going to have to click this link. It's probably not worth it, unless you fast forward to the end to see Garrett...)

Part 2 of Jim C's interview with Mark Noble is up on ESPN, go read it!

Saw this over on the Ride site, and having finished being bombarded by Red Bull and Gilette ads, I managed to get the embed code. So yeah, here it is:



I'm off to get caffeinated and shave, brb...
