Everything else is irrelevant

I was going to post a bunch of other stuff but there's no point because this video's so good you don't need to see anything else.



That's basically it.

Here and there.

Some old, some new, mostly cool.

Speaking of - an old part from your new favourite rider, which happens to be pretty cool. Definitely one of my favourite Safety First parts - Albert Mercado. Seeing as it's also up, Lil Jon and Landon Anderson's split part, although I was never really as keen on it. The banger for that part is bangin' though!





While we're talking Kink - Darryl Tocco has been someone I've always looked out for footage of since I first saw Insight. He's been riding for Osiris for a while now, and this is an edit he put together for them.



Another guy on Osiris is the ever-changing Josh Betley. Rad dude and pretty handy on a bike too, no matter how many pegs he's got or how high his seat happens to be...



Cologne is also good, and as a bonus fact that spot with the double set with the weird raised sections was the place where I did the best thing I've ever done on a BMX. A fairly odd statement to make, but I was genuinely surprised I pulled it, and it capped off an awesome trip. Taliban has the footage, or used to, but I somehow doubt it'll ever see the light of day. Still, that's life.

And on that slightly odd, awkward note, I'm off. Tatty bye bye.

Mind games...

You have no idea how confused I was then. Dig posted this video by Woozy of Stefan and Bruno. I was almost certain I'd seen it, so clicked onto the Youtube page to view it. Said it was uploaded today, which confused me even more. I was even able to remember which tricks were going to appear in it, so I did a bit more digging and was incredibly relieved when I found the original and realised it was almost 2 years old.

Still, it's pretty good!

iPod cable.

Yep, named this post after the first thing I saw.

I'm pretty sure when all the 2011 completes come out from all the different companies involved in BMX, once at least one of all the different models of bike on the market get sold the current amount of bikes in the world will double, if not treble. I mean seriously, millions of bikes. Stepping up to the "Whoa there, that's enough" plate are Sunday and Diamondback. Sunday made a little embedded player, Diamondback didn't, so you can view the Sundays here but have to go to DB's site to view their's.



In "New stuff" news, Clicked have an exclusive...

Also in "New" news, the next issue of Cult is apparently out soon, although it seems to be going more down the 'corporate' (for want of a better word) route rather than the previous route (e.g. more photos of bike parts, less porn photos with "Grab ur pads, blow ur load" written over them).

In video news, Tom Davis is now on Sunday's UK team, and this is his obligatory 'welcome' video. S.Wales gets rinsed!



Another person in team switching news is Lil Jon, who's now on Kink Pro. Think I might've put this before, but smooth bowl riding = repeatable with no regrets on my side.



In complete contrast to these past two 'team business' videos is this BluntedAtheltics video.



I swear Tammy is actually Butlin's American brother...

Lastly, I've been sorta wanting to get a motorbike to mess around on for a while, and this video isn't helping that. Pretty artfag, but still, do want.

I mean, really?

No posts for a few days then one about skate videos? Best believe!

Saw this on Vimeo's homepage today, which also led me to the Etnies video for the Skate And Create competition too. In short - skate companies get given a few days in a warehouse to make a 3-5min edit. That's pretty much it...





And just 'cos it's awesome, Fully Flared's intro too.



Just for a bit of BMX content, some riding from Hoang Tran, Tom Perry, Kyle Hart and Lahsaan Kobza, which I've probably spelt wrong.


Go to BNQT.com for more videos.

Late addition

Used to ride with a bunch of these dudes back in London, where they'd generally make me feel old by riding non-stop for hours on end on some kind of Chicken Cottage and sweets diet and learn new tricks incredibly quickly. Cool to see how they've all improved now, next generation coming through. Some rad stuff in here. If you've ever wondered what it'd sound like if Richard Ayoade would sound like MCing a BMX jam, here's your chance...

Close...

LAPTOP SMAAAASH! Pretty close to it then after getting stuck in some kind of infinite "Log in!" loop. Fury.

Anyways - it's NEW PRODUCT TUESDAY! A freshly invented title for the 7th September simply because there's new product ahoy. Interbike around the corner = show off your goods time.

First up, some 'fruity' gloves from Odyssey. They all laughed when Edison recorded sound, and they all laughed at the engineer hats that became mad popular, but ho ho ho - who's got the last laugh now? Well, probably Odyssey.



"That looks like their old sprocket!" I hear you cry - correct, that's because they made it that way for Chase Hawk's new sprocket.



I could type some kind of witty spiel for the new Aaron Ross tyre, but essentially the only thing anyone's really going to care about is the fact that it comes in 2.35", which is about this big:





Superstar (no, not that straight-out-the-catalogue UK company, the original rad French dudes) also have a load of new stuff coming out - click over to Ride US for more.

If, when watching this video, you start clapping your hands like a demented seal and making strange barking noises because this Vans edit has riding in a skatepark with DC logos in it: No-one cares. Just thought I'd clarify that. If you're watching someone ride street and they ride past a McDonalds, do you instantly start complaining that that's not an "[Insert sponsor name here]" video, that's a McDonalds video? Yeah yeah, competing companies, whatever - no-one cares. No, really. No-one.



Dude's got a nice style though regardless.

Speaking of "Nice style", Steven Hamilton used to have one, but now makes interesting blog posts. "Drama drama" rather than "Disguise disguise"?

Questions...

Russia have their own Adidas team?



Why are Mumford & Sons so popular despite all their songs being totally identical and frighteningly bland? It's the musical equivalent of every frame coming out exclusively in beige... Anyway, Joris Coulomb is really good, although the auto-refresh that page seems to do meant I had to watch that video twice to see it all. Not cool.

How is David Grant physically possible?



What does Josh Shaw say at the beginning of this Mix section from Safety First?



Is Nathan Williams suicidal?



How awesomely well made do these ramps look? Compare that to any indoor in the UK...

For the sake of the blog?

This is George Boyd's section from For The Sake Of The Video. Looks pretty good, eh?



In related good video news, Nathan Williams had this video out today too.



Ben Hucke has a new frame out, you can hear about it here:



Lotek have some new shoes out. Fruity colours...

And with that, I'm off. Hungry hungry hippo.

Mix.

This is awesome, for some fairly obvious reasons.



Mutiny are working on a top-loader.



Scott Ditchburn has lost some pegs (pretty sure he used to always run 4?) but still does some ridiculous lines.



Akin Hercules-Walker rides some fun spots from inside the M25.



Lastly - S&M went there. Oh dear...
