Serious business. Things to note: How awesome the pegs to manny 180 is. How high the oppo 180 over the rail is popped. How casual the roof-drop gets done.
As a side note, it amuses me that people seem to be riled over the fact Dakota Roche is now riding for Vans instead of Lotek (when Lotek themselves copied several models of Vans shoes in the first place?), and also that Dakota Roche drinks at Starbucks. Businesses don't become globally successful for no reason.

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!

Disparity.
This came last in the Nike 6.0 Barcelona comp. How?! If this is the worst thing they received for that comp, first place has got to be mental...

I am now tired.
Weekend, w00t.
In case you were unaware, Scotty Ditchburn is really good. Subrosa are, hence him now being on Pro. This is his 'Welcome to the Big Time™' edit:
They've also got some awesome photos from Tom Perry (doing the unusual thing of being 'known' as Tom Perry then sort of going to a nickname, unlike most people who go from being 'known' as a nickname to then using their proper name all the time) on their site.
Something about G-Sport begging for followers on Twitter doesn't really make too much sense in my head - but there we are. A new Dakota Roche video hangs in the balance.
Dakota also has an interview up on ESPN.
Everyone loves new stuff - so does Kink.
Speaking of new stuff, Bas Keep must be getting some new stuff these days in that he's riding for Cult, which is also where I saw this edit.
Lastly - Mutiny have a bunch of photos up of Robbo doing a new line, which happens to look pretty bueno.

Screamer!
Yeah yeah, I know a lot of you don't like football, but damn - from yesterday's semi between the Netherlands and Uruguay. Top corner? You betcha.
Speaking of "top corner", if the spots in this video had to be described in a footballing analogy, I'd classify them as pretty top corner too. Van Homan and Scotty Cranmer doing things for Duo, which I spotted on the G-Sport site (which still has that awesome edit up from yesterday).
In that I don't really think that entirely copying a block of text a writer has created and then poaching the video too (in much the same way that if I did a website purely devoted to scanning pages of Dig and putting them online I'd imagine it'd ruffle a few feathers), I'm just going to link to the ESPN site where you can check out Tunney's write-up and Larry Rhodes' video yourself. It's Big Daddy - why wouldn't you (Answer: Because it was up a few days ago and I didn't spot it first time round, but you've already seen it)?
Gary Young is rad, as are the Tuesdays with Miles videos. Combo.
Lastly - the 2011 Deluxe Tech 2 frames are now in the UK, in a warehouse not too far from the shop as it happens. Deluxe do some good stuff, and if you're after a shiny new trails frame then you'd have to be somewhat of a tool not to check the Tech 2 out.

G-Sport Edit
G-Sport Welcome Edit.
That first link is about as functional and direct as G-Sport products and the G-Sport website. Link-up! Anyways, Randy Brown, Dave Thompson, Dakota Roche, Van Homan and Andrew Jackson - pretty much a "Favourite riders of mine" compilation video, and it's awesome.

Videos and the like.
Rapid fire style, got precisely 1 minute.
Ed Hawthorne does some interesting stuff in this video, but according to TheComeUp that's all over-shadowed by him wearing a Holister shirt. I don't really get the significance of that, but hey ho, that's me I guess.
Empire's previous videos have been awesome, I'd imagine their new one will be still. This is the latest 'trailer'. Worth watching for definite, even though it's only -0.3secs long.
If that doesn't work, you can also view it on Defgrip.
Oh, and get well soon, Beringer.

Acer laptop lunchtime edit.
This whole "Flipcam edit" thing that people keep doing has been mildly irritating me for a while, simply in terms of me not caring what people film it on, and it not mattering what they filmed it on (If someone puts a photo up online, they don't generally go "Here's a new Canon edit"...). You don't need to justify why your video's low quality. Regardless, Ride have stepped the pointless title game up a little bit by making an "iPhone 4 brakeless edit". I wonder how specific, in months to come, video titles are going to be? Maybe include temperature and humidity to really convey the difficult conditions both rider and filmer had to include? "Sony VX-1000, fisheye lens, brakeless, 24°C, 85% humidity, slightly dehydrated, partially hungry" edit, maybe? Who knows. Anyway, here's the video I initially mentioned.
Filmed on a shiny new iPhone, don'tchaknow.
In other news, Federal/FocalPoint rider Troy Jackson has an edit up. I don't really know what it was filmed with so you're going to have to sit through the video under the heavy cloud of mystery about what they used, but he is brakeless in case you couldn't work it out from simply watching the video and needed to be told in the title of it.
Jeff K has done some interesting things on his bike that were filmed somehow and edited using some editing programme then uploaded to the Etnies website to view with whatever you're looking at this on to be seen by your eyes.
Paul Ryan is really good and is currently being slowly cooked under the warm Spanish sun. This is him getting some lines in before the BCN Pro comp.
I was going to call the "Dove for men" pre-roll ad on this video flagrantly gay, but "fragrantly gay" would be a far better pun, so there we are. Once you get past the 'fragrantly' gay Dove pre-roll, there are good things to be seen.
This soup's not going to eat itself, so bye bye.
