Vids, yo?

Not the first time I've used that title, that's for sure. But, videos is what we're dealing with here. First up, one from Dave King about 'Stoney's Wood'? Some guy's trails in any case - techidy tech.



Stay Fit is almost at an end. "Get Fat" soon?

Animal clothing.

Animal have put up their new winter clothing line. Some tasty garments in there!

1.3k

1,300th post? How?! Probably 'cos it's been around for a reasonably long time. Speaking of Long, Matty Long (Most tenuous intro out of any of the other 1,299...):



Forgot to pop this up yesterday (and I don't think I've done it before?), but Subrosa have got a new stem coming out that kinda looks like a revised Attack stem?



Oh, and about stuff I did yesterday - put up that David Grant (well, partially David Grant) video, he's got an interview up on BMXUnion now.

Wiz, 2x4. The trick-to-sunglasses-drop-to-ride-over is the ultimate highlight. Bonus - check out how far his shoe flies when he falls off that jersey barrier. Physics defiance.



Defgrip posted up that James Wade has put a new photobook up - click here, then go to August.

Good day cont'd

Well, aside from taking one to the hip the moment I got riding, today was good.

Other people have been doing stuff today, too.

Colony posted up some pics of Liam Fahy Hampton's signature grip. "They are extra long to... look more in proportion on today’s wider handlebars." Right...



Orchid posted up the new colourway of Beringer's shoe, the Cobra:



Superstar released some info on their new stem, the Edge 9. Looks like an updated Elect stem to me, which is all good. 49mm reach, 258g, an "assymetric" style bar clamp (Think: Fit DL-series stems) where you tighten the front up flush then the rear to clamp - and it comes in red, black or grey.



Dig did a bikecheck with Robbo so you can see, once and for all, what his seat's actually like. Clickity.

Oh, and if you like watching David Grant ride with his weird rubbery arms, you'll like watching this. Because it contains David Grant. Which is what I was getting at.

Today is a good day?

Woke up feeling nice and refreshed. Played with the kitten a bit. Sunny outside. My sister's making me some food. In an hour, I'm gonna get on a train to Trowbridge to ride with the shop team rider Joel Nicholls. I fire up my computer to just check some e-mails. Friend I haven't heard from in a while had sent me a message. Check out some other sites, then spot this. When I first started riding, this was the first DVD I had. I bought it off Dan for a fiver 'cos he didn't like it (blasphemy!), and I watched this section pretty much every time I went out riding. Steven Hamilton, in Federal's Trafaelio (Which, incidentally, is a kinda phonic way of saying 'travelling' in Welsh).

Ah well...

One less Killorado in the world.



Oh noes?

Not again...

Well, it looks like Mutiny are making another frame I want? Second time it's been a Josh Bedford signature frame too...



Due out in October, by which time I'll hopefully have a job again and be able to afford such luxuries. Tempter.

In other "NEW PRODUCT" news, a 30 second video about bolts?


G-SPORT VOLCANO BOLTS FROM ODYSSEYBMX.COM



To be honest, speaking as a generally pegless rider, I'd rather have a bit more bolt to aim for for grinds 'n' stuff, but then again I do 'em weird.

And... uh... well, that's it. Dave Gorman, incidentally, is ridiculously good live, as I had the luck to find out tonight. Too good. I imagine the tickets have all sold out, but if you're near one of the venues for his latest tour, beg, borrow or steal to get there. It even involves bikes!

One sec...

Just spotted this edit by Joe Gould up on Ride. All I could think about was how awesome that spot looks! I mean, look at it!



What?!

Putting the 'dink' in 'coincallydink'?

I mentioned Stefan Lantschner in that last post, and as I did so I remembered that his Carhartt video was supposed to be out a while back. Didn't really tihnk much of it 'til I happened to open an old e-mail account up that was on the Woozy mailing list, and lo and behold - there it was.

Une vidéo de bicyclette.

Seriously, give Ryan Elcock a beret and that's some proper French steez.



Consider that as one for all you park dudes out there too. Blog equality and all that.

If you want to hear a really elaborate way of saying "I used to ride Orchid, but now ride for Duffs", then click here.

At 0:30 in this video by Will Evans, why is Stefan Lantschner shooting photos?!



This is a video of a street jam:



If you're thinking to yourself "Hot damn, that looks sweet!" - you have the chance to get involved in one. THIS SUNDAY at 12pm meeting at mini Lloyds (aka Norwich Union hip) at Bristol, P5 are holding a jam. Seriously - this isn't even a case of "Be there or be square", it's a case of "Be there and have an awesome time or be... well, don't." Not quite as catchy, but it gets the point across.

Another day, another Dry Spell section - Pete Greaves this time, in a section of the video he edited himself. Big 'n' tall!
