That's all I'm saying...

There seems to be a lot of love for Vinyl edits, so here's another one:

WTP have long been using Salt parts on their completes - good, strong parts that don't cost a bomb are ideal, and are where Salt really excels. WTP have set up a dedicated mini-site for their Salt range now, so go here if you want to check out their stuff.

It's been a while...

A hectic lifestyle of being freezing cold in Leeds, doing uni work, playing poker and trying to ride has meant I've been pretty quiet, but there we are. To earn my keep:

(Another edit: Here's the full vid - click the different sections to watch. Has 3 cool On The Road features too...

)

Nike have their team video up (Click that link), and even the most ardent Nike Haters seem to be into it, which says a lot. Garrett Reynolds and Dennis Enarson are frighteningly good. To quote Dan, "Someone's been working on their manuals." Truth. But either way, go check out the video and you'll be able to see for yourself just how frighteningly good those two are. I haven't even watched the Spinner section yet as I literally have no interest in it, and the Nigel Sylvester part left me a little cold, but those other two more than make up for it.

(Mini Edit: Garrett's section is here if you're only in it for that. Dennis' section is up here.)

4down have some trip updates from their 3 Toms trip to Spain, feat. the three Toms on the FBM team in the UK - check out the 4down site and see Banners do a rail, amongst other things...

Lino G on WTP?

A Tierra frame with a 21" TT, lugs, and a really bad paintjob up for sale for £120 posted (E-mail me at Mark (at) Style43.com)? Get involved!

A Brian Foster Flipbook?

Brighton Ain't Ready is officially OUT NOW!!!!11!1!11! so you should all go and buy a copy. It's well worth it, and as soon as I find money I'll be buying me a copy! Either way, new trailer up too:


Brighton Ain't Ready! - Out Now! from Seventies Distribution on Vimeo.

Aaaaaand I think that's pretty much it for now. Bikes to be ridden, people to see...

Oh, and...

Posted this ages ago, but it's still really good:

And also, why is Kye Forte looking cold? Click here to find out, which is also a major reason to go to Decoy again...



I remembered the tags this time too!

A break from the norm...

Generally, I find out product news from lurking a few sites (BMXFeed, TCU, and so on), so it was a bit of a break from the norm when I found out that the shop has the new Kink video, Safety First, in stock via a Myspazz bulletin from Carlos.

Either way, how I found that out is irrelevant - what is relevant is that that video's going to be awesome (Doyle, Tocco, Sexton, Badger, Dirty Dan - to name but 5 reasons why...), and it's available now. Trailer park:

BUY BUY BUY!

Delightful.

Woozy have fully been on it today - first up was this Vans "Why Not?" tour vid (part 3!):



But then the video I've been waiting for popped up too, the tour vid part by Bruno Hoffmann. He's about 9 months old, and is this good: ridiculousness.

GREAT NEWS! Knobjob and Rimjob tyres now come in FOLDABLE versions! It's like all our Christmasses coming at once ;-)

Lastly, there are also 3 cool web-vids of some lesser known Mutiny riders from Spain on their site.

Late night...

Mulville is rad:



No joke.

In other news: Eclat, who are also rad, have released a new Pivotal seat (Well, proto anyway), which is also rad. Observe:




How awesome does that look? Phrase you're looking for is "Pretty damn!"

Main benefit is that the Pivotal guts are moved nearer the nose, with a refined webbing section for the rear of the seat, meaning no more Gonzo seats, and - at long last - Pivotals that look normal. The way the normal SL Pivotals sit super far forwards (Near the back of the rails, if they were regular seats) has been the reason I haven't run them for any length of time before, so it's cool to see Eclat have covered that area. Winners!

More pics on their site...

Assorted things...

I have a new frame: Yeeeeah! A2B, courtesy of Hot-Wheels, those excellent people!



Go here for detail pics 'n' stuff.

In other news:

Lakai have one of the best ads ever on their site - on the main video player on their site, click on the little black and white "LUCAS" logo and watch that vid. Radness.

In more important news, Mike Aitken is continuing to improve. He actually left hospital yesterday, and there's a video from a local news show up.



It seemed weird how on the one hand, that video was pretty sad seeing how he is now compared to how he was in the 50:50 video, but then you realise just how far he's come since he was in a coma and it seems amazing that he's fought back that far. There's still obviously a long, long way to go, but here's hoping he pulls through 100%.

Vinyl have both a new site and a new video:

Similarly, Seventies have a new site up (And a new catalogue which you can see in the shop), and a new video of Niki Croft being awesome:

Genuine

Legit online version of the Levis video. From Levis, not some sketchy guy who's ripped the DVD...

Places to go, people to see...

For the record: Awesome street rides are awesome. For the first time in living memory (fact) it wasn't raining, and I'm pretty sure all around the country everyone was getting some pedalling done. Good times. So, it's with tired arms I'm writing this...

The internationally known Dave Potato features in this weeks/months Videorama from those awesome dudes at WTP (It's Rob Harrison from WTP in the video too). Some techidy tech tricks in this:

In complete contrast, here's a Fit web-video of the relatively under the radar Justin Inman:


Justin Inman from Fitbikeco. on Vimeo.

And in complete contrast yet again, here's the new Mutiny "What the F" video. I guess you had to be there...

Lightweight.

No, it's not a half-bolt stem or a Nev-lar bead tyre - it's just a lack of real interesting stuff to post, so it's VIDEOBLOGFRENZYTASTIC time.

Another "Why Not?" tour trailer. Bruno's section > The World.

Second part of the Cory Nastazio interview up on Defgrip. Interesting vid.
