Nooooooooo...
Nooooooooo... I could handle regular tanwalls, but coloured tread tanwall tyres? No. No, no, no...

15 minutes of amazing skating.
Yep, it's skating, and yep, it's amazing. Slow-mo to Regular footage from Lakai's video, Fully Flared. Some rad stuff. It's not BMX, but it does give you ideas for how else to use spots...
Lloyd Wright & Co.
Ripped straight from the still beating heart of Streetphire is this video by Lloyd of his friends riding their local park, Croxley. Good stuff. Check out Streetphire for more cool stuff!

EDIT: Bonus! Yet more from Streetphire, this time Mr. Tom Bright - one of the soundest dudes I've met (In fact the whole Newcastle scene was amazing when I was up there, thanks everyone!) - has stepped up to the filming/editing plate and this is what he's come up with.
Afternoon at the Park. from Mr T on Vimeo.
Incidentally, Tom Bright also made Dry Spell which is well worth a buy!

Owain Clegg, ahead of his time...
Everyone knows Owain Clegg is rad. He's been around the UK scene since time began, and has always been doing some cool, new and interesting lines. This is a video from 2003, check out how ahead of it's time it was...

Bits 'n' bobs.
Instead of talking about riders chopping and changing who they're representing, this time it's magazines? In order (Leaving out the obvious Noble/Noble change)...
Nathan Beddows is now bumped up to Assistant Editor on Ride.
Brian Tunney is off Dig.
Rob Dolecki is off Ride, and is now on Dig flow as Managing Editor and Photographer.
There are apparently a few other change ups in the works, so I'll keep you up to date in Media Team News some time soon. I guess it's all Factory so it's all the same thing anyway? Who knows. If you particularly want to find out, word on the street is that all the Ride guys head up to Cantelowes on a Wednesday night to ride so you could ask them yourself. Cantelowes is usually a pretty good time, so might as well!
Oh yeah - whole point of this spiel was that Rob D has a piece up on Dig about the change-up. Rob's an amazing photographer and writer so if he gets to put more time into getting content setup then that's all good.
Speaking of stuff I'm into - Mat Roe. Specifically, Mat Roe's signature frame from Mutiny, which you can catch a preview of right here.
In other New Product news, H-Man informs me/tells me to post up that Seventies have a bunch of new Kink stuff up. Here's a taster, go check it out! Or H-Man will kill me. Go there now. New Kink fatter seats? Winners.
Madera's Lil Jeff has a rad new vid up - plenty of pedalling, plenty of style, aaaaall good.
Ooooooooh, also almost just forgot the new Ian Frickin' Schwartz webvid. Another change of style for the Madonna of BMX? Ridden with some many different styles before! Read that interview with him I posted a few days ago on the Sunday site, then watch this vid...
BROUGHT TO YOU BY SUNDAY!

Eh?
I mentioned in my last post about Ian Schwartz being under the radar lately, and then scoured Vimeo for some old videos of him. I found his old Mosh part on the Mosh channel, yet it appears to have more footage and totally different music compared to the one they released on their site all that time ago? Weird! Anyway, it's all good. Well worth checking out again...

Scraps...
Mark Noble is continuing to put up cool stuff on ESPN, showing again why he helped steer Ride so well for such a long time. In this article he has a pretty interesting interview/talk with Chris Harrison, product designer for Federal. Well worth a read!
In semi-related news, Ride have a video up on their site from the Corby sessions that took place while they got the content together for the latest Role Models issue. Seems to have been a controversial issue, but people talking is better than people keeping quiet. Being made to think about things is good...
There must've been some hectic friction burns for Jason Phelan.
In that interview issue of Ride, the long overdue Josh Bedford interview is featured as a full interview. He pulls some pretty crazy lines for it, has an interesting story to tell, and seems to generally have something worth saying. Anyways - key thing is that after KO'ing his collar bone, he's now back riding and testing a signature frame, according to Mutiny, which is where I grabbed this pic from.
Whilst we're talking about interesting, different individuals, Ian Schwartz - who's been pretty under the radar of late - has a bikecheck up on RideUS's site, which is where this tech little widget is from:
Actually, that's a lie - I just went to copy the embed code and they've disabled it, so you've got to go here to check that out. BONUS! Ian also has a few things to say on the Sunday site, including some stuff about new shoes, new spots and new Lotek videos. Apparently Rich Hirsch has remembered he's made some of the best videos around, and is going to do more. Good times!
Probably should've put this earlier, but ESPN have a new video up of Brian Hunt that seems fairly similar to one I've posted before, but I'm fairly sure isn't the same one...
You be the judge?
Check out from 00:37 - 00:44 - potentially the most hectic rollback I've ever seen.
Speaking of hectic, Proper have a new stem coming out in their disappointingly non-flight enabled Microlite range:
Here's the details straight from Bikeguide, which therefore might mean they're not actually true:
Specs:
- 6061 T-6
- 52mm reach
- 249g (8.78 oz)
- Recess allowing for the fork compression bolt to sink flush for a clean look.
- Rounded back that stays out of the way of your knees.
- Internally relieved and slotted top to bottom (stronger than side to side).
- Additional clamping area for slip-free bars.
S&M have a new shorter Redneck XLT coming out, and a new Randy Brown frame, but their site is so abhorrent that I'm not even going to link to it. Just imagine a slightly refined, stubbier Redneck, and a fancier Fit Dehart frame. Hey presto!
In semi-local scene news, Tom Chilvers, who some of you dudes at Pijin will know, fully mangled his ankle tonight:
Whips: Fully not worth it. But seriously dude, get well soon!
"Myspace" Dan has upped and left the UK now, having left Southampton a week or two ago. It's actually his birthday today/yesterday (3rd March), which he spent somewhere in Cambodia - happy birthday Dan!
