Somewhere in the UK didn't have an all-rain summer. I'm officially jealous.

Now THAT's a trailer...
This video's gonna dominate, in much the same way that the just-too-wide-for-Blogger-posts Odyssey widget dominates the page layout of this here blog.
This isn't a trailer, but it is a new frame - straight from Tree's site to your eyes:
There's a hell of a lot of details here about the details of the frame, but yeah, geometry's pretty standard - 74.5° HA, 71° SA, 13.75" CS, 11.5" BB - but it does have some cool features. Let's just hope the price over here converts favourably.

Portsmouth Land Flat Jam
Yeah, so some of you may have seen the unusual flyer in Pijin recently promoting the Land Flat Jam in Southsea/Portsmouth this Sunday. Like me, at first, the word flat encourages your mind that it's a flat land or some weird long jump/jump to flat contest, but i'm pretty sure it'll be a proper good street jam, just like Southampton's own... So yeah, as the poster says, 12noon at the law court walls. If you don't know where the law court walls are, you are an idiot (they're near the train station...). See you there?

New Orchids/vids
Yet again, Orchid have released pics of a new shoe, the Midpoint. Looks pretty sweet to me - that classic skate-shoe mid-top look, but with a decent sole for BMX? Ching ching.
According to their site:
Features:
•Mid-top suede construction
•$60.00 suggested retail in USA
•Un-hate-able™ black/gum sole
Un-hate-able indeed - they seem to have their soles pretty dialled, in fairness.
Talking of dialled, things that Nike don't really seem to have dialled are their big, showy video releases. The stream of disappointed skaters leaving the London Nike SB video premiere were good comedy. But yeah, they've now put up the promo for their new BMX/6.0 (Whatever it's going to be called...) vid, and here it is:
(Unrelated, but the treasure hunt for the embed code for that vid was no fun.)
Hopefully this video's filming and editing will actually do justice to the awesomeness of Garrett Reynolds...
One good thing that Nike have done though (Apart from the awesome drinks, food and times in the Meet The Peoples jam in Cologne) is sponsor Liverpool's Harry Main. Sound dude, and ridiculously good. Definitely one of the highlights of an otherwise ridiculously boring/soul-destroying whip-whip-whip spine mini ramp comp in the Masters. But yeah, he's got a new web-vid up, some hefty maneuvers.

Lastly, spotted this over on Dig, the video that accompanies the BSD Roadtrip story in the new (That's #66) issue of Dig. Cover's below the vid, click here for the details of what's in 66. To quote Taliban, "I really didn't think they'd use that top fives." Awesome.

Nathan Williams bio.
There's a Nathan Williams bio up on the EXPN site (And yeah, it's actually a bio unlike the Props 68 "Bio"...), click here to see it and watch the video clip too, it's got some good stuff in it...
Steven Hamilton.
When Federal called their blog "Epic Hamilton Update, they really weren't lying... Click there for more.
Forgot this.
Remember that Marty dude who used to be famous for doing maaaaaaassive twists? Well, he's got a new little web-vid up on the Federal site.

IT HASN'T RAINED TODAY!
You frickin' heard me! It didn't rain in Wales today! This is a pretty landmark occasion - I am not down with having double the amount of rain for August that we should've done. September is apparently going to be a "dry month": we'll see...
Anyway, lookit:
Pretty interesting behind the scenes Levis stuff. Corey Martinez is the man.
wethepeople : Jan Beckmann : Videorama from wethepeoplebikeco on Vimeo.
Another week, anotehr Videorama part from WTP (Who have a cool Industry feature in the latest Ride, courtesy of Will Jackson).
Lastly, Brad Simms has a signature frame in the works. How it took that long for Hoffman to get that ball rolling, I really don't know. Maybe they hadn't seen his Micreation video part yet or something? which reminds me, time to go watch that video...

Day in the life...
...of Dakota Roche and Eric Lichtenberger.
A Day In the Life with Dak and Eric from Lotek on Vimeo.
Niki Croft not only did some cool stuff at the Coventry jam and also on the first day of the Up In Smoke tour, he also does massive boosts that you can be alerted to by the Mutiny site.
Substantial.
Orchid have got a photo up for colourway #2 of the Break Hi-top, this time it's blue 'n' black. Still not into high-tops, but some are, so yeah, here you go:
This is almost 99% unrelated to BMX, but yeah, sweet photos none the less. Spotted over on Defgrip, these are some of the best photos from the recent Beijing Olympics. Click here for Gallery 1, here for Gallery 2 and here for Gallery 3. They're well worth a browse!
